Terms & Conditions

Updated at: 10/03/2025

1. General Terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the independent developer of the Places app (“Places,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your use of our mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By downloading, accessing, or using Places, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms become effective means you accept the revised Terms.

You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind them to these Terms.

2. Description of the Service

Places is a personal map and place-saving app that allows users to discover, save, organize, and revisit locations. Depending on the features available in the app, users may also be able to share profiles, view friends’ maps, recommend places to others, and interact with place-related content.

We may add, remove, or modify features at any time. Some features may depend on third-party services such as Apple Maps, Firebase, or similar providers.

3. Accounts

Certain features of the Service may require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your information reasonably up to date. We may suspend or terminate accounts that are fraudulent, abusive, inactive for prolonged periods, or in violation of these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service in any way that is unlawful, harmful, or abusive. In particular, you agree not to:

5. User Content

You may be able to create or submit content through the Service, such as saved places, notes, lists, profile information, recommendations, or other materials (“User Content”).

You retain ownership of your User Content. However, by submitting User Content through the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, display, and transmit that content solely as necessary to operate, improve, and provide the Service.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate any law or third-party rights.

6. Social Features and Recommendations

If the Service includes social features, such as viewing friends’ maps or recommending places to other users, you agree to use those features respectfully and lawfully.

We do not guarantee that recommendations, profiles, usernames, place information, or user-submitted details will always be accurate, complete, or available. You are responsible for reviewing any information before relying on it.

7. No Payment or Refund Terms

Places does not currently offer paid purchases, subscriptions, or in-app payments. Because there are no paid transactions at this time, no billing, refund, or return terms apply.

If paid features are introduced in the future, additional terms may apply and will be presented to you at that time.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on or link to third-party services, platforms, APIs, or websites, including mapping, authentication, analytics, cloud storage, or database providers.

We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that we may collect, use, and process information as described there.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, interface, branding, text, graphics, and other non-user content, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or exploit any part of the Service without prior written permission.

11. Suggestions and Feedback

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service, you agree that we may use them without restriction or compensation to you.

12. Availability and Updates

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may also release updates, bug fixes, and improvements. We are not obligated to maintain any specific feature or level of availability.

13. Account Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created legal risk, harmed other users, or misused the Service.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Upon termination, provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.

14. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, or reliability.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from data loss, bugs, or harmful components. Place information, maps, search results, user recommendations, and third-party content may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100).

16. Indemnification

If you have a dispute or concern about the Service, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the issue informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be submitted to the competent courts of İstanbul, Türkiye, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices made available through the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings relating to the same subject matter.
