Terms
Last updated October 27, 2026
These terms cover your use of Rally Outside ("Rally"). By using Rally you agree to them. Questions: support@rallyoutside.com.
You're 18 or older
Rally is for adults. To use it, you must be 18 or older, and you confirm that when you sign up. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we'll close it.
You decide whether to go
Being outside carries real risk. Rally's conditions come from public sources such as the National Weather Service, NOAA and AirNow, and can be late, wrong or missing. A line that says a day looks good is information, not a promise that it's safe. Check the conditions yourself, know your limits, and turn back when it's right to.
Back by is a backup, not an emergency service
Back by sends a text to the person you chose if you don't check in by your time. Texts can be delayed or not delivered, and Rally doesn't contact emergency services. In an emergency, call 911.
Being with people
- Be decent. No harassment, threats, hate, or anything sexual aimed at people who didn't ask for it.
- Only add people who want to be added, and only share photos you're allowed to share.
- You can block or report anyone in the app, or email us. We can remove anything that breaks these rules, and close the accounts behind it.
What's yours
Your words and photos stay yours. You let Rally store them and show them to the people you share them with, so the app can work. A photo you delete from a shared album is gone for everyone in it, and deleting your account takes out all of your photos. When you delete something, that permission ends, except for copies someone already saved or screenshotted, which Rally can't pull back.
Back-by text messages
- What they are: Rally Outside back-by texts tell you when someone who chose you isn't back from an outing by the time they set. The text says where the outing started and the last pin they dropped, if they dropped one.
- How you join: only by agreeing on our website, from a link the person sends you. Agreeing is never required to use anything else.
- How often: one text when you agree, then only when that person misses a back-by time. Message frequency varies.
- Cost: message and data rates may apply.
- Stop or get help: reply STOP to stop all Rally texts, or HELP for help. You can also email support@rallyoutside.com.
- Carriers aren't liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
- How we handle your number: see Privacy.
Changes and ending
Rally may change or end features. If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll say so in the app before it takes effect. You can stop using Rally and delete your account at any time.
