LivePassWatch is an information and research platform founded by Zulkarnain in the Himalayas, designed to synthesize publicly available mountain pass road condition signals into accessible regional guides.

2. Nature of Platform & Data Ingestion

LivePassWatch collects and synthesizes road status signals using research teams, AI-assisted technologies, automated aggregation tools, and public domain reports from official road announcements, local news, weather bureaus, and travel communities.

• Update Cadence: We aim to update mountain pass information approximately every 24 hours, with prioritized updates during active weather events or reported closures.
• No Guarantee of Real-Time Presence: We do not claim that every update represents real-time ground conditions at the exact physical location of a pass at the second of viewing.
• Informational Use Only: Content provided on LivePassWatch is intended solely for research, route planning reference, and geographic discovery.

3. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use LivePassWatch strictly for lawful and personal navigational research purposes. You agree NOT to:

• Use automated scrapers, bots, or data extraction scripts to overload or disrupt website infrastructure.
• Misrepresent LivePassWatch status data as official government or road authority directives.
• Attempt to bypass site security, probe system vulnerabilities, or inject malicious payloads.
