The ground rules for using Trace Taiwan.

Last updated: June 20, 2026

These terms outline the rules for using Trace Taiwan, located at www.tracetaiwan.com. By accessing this website, we assume you accept these terms in full. Do not continue to use Trace Taiwan if you do not agree with any part of them.

"You" and "your" refer to you, the person using this website. "We", "us", and "our" refer to Trace Taiwan. Singular, plural, and gendered terms are interchangeable and refer to the same parties.

Outdoor activity and assumption of risk

River tracing is an inherently dangerous outdoor activity. The traces, GPS coordinates, route notes, equipment lists, and safety information on Trace Taiwan are contributed by the community and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date. River conditions change quickly and without warning. You are solely responsible for your own safety: assess conditions yourself, carry proper equipment, go with experienced people, and never rely on this website as your only source of information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trace Taiwan and its contributors accept no liability for injury, loss, or death arising from river tracing or from any use of the information on this site.
