Last modified on: June 17, 2021

TO UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. By accessing, using Map Your City or signing up for an account, you’re agreeing to these Terms of Service. This is a legal agreement.

We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand this agreement. Map Your City is a service offered through the URL mapyour.city and through the mobile applications available in the Apple & Android Stores. Map Your City is owned and operated by ANDRS Projects Europe, a Netherlands private limited company (“Map Your City,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Map Your City has employees, independent contractors, and representatives (“our Team”).

These Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy (collectively the “Terms“) govern your access to and use of Map Your City (“Map Your City”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) websites, services, and applications (collectively the “Service“). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service. In other words this legal document defines the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to use Map Your City and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a user of the Service. If you have any questions about our terms, feel free to contact us at legal@mapyour.city.

 

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization or entity (“Organization”), then you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that Organization and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Organization to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” refers to you and that Organization.

Organizations or other third parties that have paid for a subscription to Map Your City (“Customers”) must separately agree to our Subscriber Agreement or enter into a written agreement with us (in either case, “Subscriber Agreement”). That Subscriber Agreement permits Customers to create and configure communities, invite users to join, and enjoy features as add-ons, or permits Customers to join communities and enjoy features as add-ons. If you have been invited to a community created by a Customer, you acknowledge and agree that the Customer controls your use of the Services in accordance with applicable local laws, including but not limited to adding or removing you from an Organization, enabling or disabling third-party integrations, managing permissions, and accessing, modifying, or removing content that you submit or upload to the Service.

You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Map Your City, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. The Service may change from time to time as we evolve, refine or add more features to the Service, often without prior notice to you. In addition, Map Your City may temporarily or permanently stop providing the Service, or any features within the Service, to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice.

 

MODIFICATIONS

We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you (for example via email to the email address associated with your account). Other changes may be posted to our blog or Terms page, so please check those pages regularly. By continuing to access or use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Service.

 

YOUR CONTENT

Some areas of the Service allow you to post or upload information, text, graphics, or other material (“Content” or, when posted by you, “your Content”), and to share your Content with others. You retain ownership of your Content, but there are many things that users may do with your Content, for example, copy it, modify it, re-share it, or broadcast it. Map Your City has no responsibility for that activity. You understand that publishing your Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with a copyright office,  or any other rights organization. Please consider carefully what you choose to share.

You agree to our Community Guidelines and not to post Content that:

(i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to you, to any other person, or to any animal;

(iii) seeks to harm or exploit children by exposing them to inappropriate content, asking for personally identifiable details or otherwise;

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to reject and/or remove any Content that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates these provisions.

You retain full ownership to your Content, but you agree to grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, perpetual, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, edit, translate, make derivatives, display and distribute such Content in connection with providing the Service to you and other users in accordance with your settings on the Service. In connection with providing the Service, we may modify or adapt your Content in order to transmit, display or distribute it over computer networks and in various media and/or make changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to any requirements or limitations of any networks, devices, services or media.

We reserve the right at all times, but are not obligated, to remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the Service including your Content. We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce the Terms, including investigation of potential violations, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of Map Your City, its users and the public.

MISCELLANEOUS LEGAL TERMS

These Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment by you will be null and void.

In the unlikely event that Map Your City has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Map Your City claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by and under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. The Emergency Arbitrator Provisions shall not apply. The contract is governed by Dutch Law, and proceedings will take place at the ICC Netherlands office in The Hague.

Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Map Your City from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of Map Your City’s proprietary interests. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND MAP YOUR CITY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

You agree that the Service is based in the Netherlands; and these Terms are governed by the internal substantive laws of the Netherlands, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Map Your City in connection with the Service, will constitute the entire agreement between you and Map Your City concerning the Service. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

No waiver of any sections of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Map Your City’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

We may provide notifications, whether these are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by us in our sole discretion. You can opt out of certain types of notifications through your settings page.

Please contact us at legal@mapyour.city with any questions regarding these Terms.
