Responder Agreement

This is a readable copy of the provisional responder agreement. The exact immutable version presented and accepted in the app controls if it differs from this page.

1. Independent volunteer status

You must be at least 18 years old and participate as an independent volunteer. You are not an employee, contractor, agent, or representative of Offroad Rescue. You receive no wages, benefits, or workers’ compensation coverage from Offroad Rescue, and this agreement does not create employment, agency, partnership, certification, or a professional-services relationship.

2. Choice to assist

You decide whether to go on duty, accept, continue, transfer, or leave a rescue. Stop or decline when conditions exceed your skills, equipment, legal authority, or comfort.

3. Emergencies

Offroad Rescue is not emergency dispatch or a public-safety service. If anyone may be injured, in danger, or facing an emergency, call 911 or the appropriate local emergency service first.

4. Personal liability and equipment

Vehicle assistance, including jump-starting, changing tires, unlocking doors, pushing a vehicle, recovery, towing, rigging, tools, off-road terrain, weather, and interaction with others carry serious risks. Offroad Rescue’s insurance does not cover your volunteer actions or damage you may cause. You are personally responsible for your training, licenses, insurance, vehicle, equipment, methods, decisions, and compliance with law.

5. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Offroad Rescue and its operator from claims, damages, lawsuits, liabilities, and reasonable expenses, including legal fees, brought by a requestor or third party arising from your actions, omissions, or assistance, including property damage or personal injury you cause.

6. Location and communications

While you are on duty or assigned to a rescue, the service may collect and use your location and share it with assigned rescue participants and service providers for matching, navigation, communication, safety, and operation. Protect participant information and use communications only to coordinate legitimate assistance.

7. Tips and no guarantee

Tips are optional and are not promised compensation. Offroad Rescue does not process or guarantee tips, requests, assignments, location accuracy, communications, participant identity, safety, response conditions, or outcomes.

8. Limitation and release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you assume responsibility for your responder activities and release Offroad Rescue and its operator from claims arising from volunteer assistance, participant acts or omissions, and the inherent risks described above. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Offroad Rescue and its operator are not liable for loss, injury, property damage, delay, failed assistance, or indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from the service. Nothing in this agreement excludes liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or waived.

9. Texas public launch

Live requests and rescue alerts are initially limited to incidents physically located in Texas. Access is free during the initial launch and no platform fee creates a duty to respond. Report safety and product issues to support@offroadrescue.com. This provisional agreement requires attorney review.
