1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using LeelaMaps (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and LeelaMaps. Please read them carefully.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use LeelaMaps. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or guardian has read and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements and that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account
  • Keep your account credentials secure and not share them with others
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account
  • Have only one account (unless explicitly permitted)

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Your Content

LeelaMaps allows you to post notes, comments, images, and other content ("User Content") tied to geographic locations. You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting, you grant LeelaMaps a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display and distribute your User Content as needed to operate the Service.

๐Ÿ“ Location privacy reminder: Notes posted publicly are visible to all users. Be thoughtful about the locations you attach to your notes โ€” avoid revealing your home address, workplace, or other sensitive locations in public posts.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it. You represent that:

  • You own or have the necessary rights to post your User Content
  • Your User Content does not violate any law or third-party rights
  • Your User Content complies with our Posting Guidelines

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms, without notice.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use LeelaMaps to:

  • Post content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or hateful
  • Stalk, harass, or intimidate other users
  • Share another person's private or personally identifiable information without their consent (doxxing)
  • Post content that sexually exploits minors in any way
  • Spread deliberate misinformation or fabricate events
  • Spam, advertise, or solicit in ways that disrupt the community
  • Impersonate any person, business, or entity
  • Scrape, crawl, or automatically collect data from the Service without written permission
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure
  • Interfere with the proper working of the Service

Violations may result in immediate account suspension or termination, and may be reported to relevant authorities where legally required.

6. Privacy & Location Data

Using a location-based service involves sharing geographic data. Our Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, store, and use location and personal data.

Key points:

  • Public notes are visible to all users and may be indexed
  • Friends-only notes are visible only to users you have approved as friends
  • Private notes are visible only to you
  • GPS follow features share your real-time position โ€” you can disable this at any time

7. Intellectual Property

The LeelaMaps name, logo, app design, and underlying software are the intellectual property of LeelaMaps and are protected by applicable law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you, except the limited licence to use the Service as described.

8. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from your account settings. Upon deletion, your public notes will be removed and your personal data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if required by law.

9. Disclaimers & Liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

LeelaMaps is not responsible for:

  • The accuracy or reliability of user-generated content
  • Any harm resulting from meeting other users in person
  • Any loss of data due to technical failure
  • Third-party services, links, or integrations

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LeelaMaps's total liability to you for any claim arising from use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify registered users by email or in-app notification.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

11. Contact
