Terms of Service

1. What PicsOnAMap is

PicsOnAMap is a web tool that renders a map collage from a GPX route file and photos you upload. You can preview the result for free. Paying unlocks a full-resolution file suitable for printing. PicsOnAMap is a digital product only. We do not sell or ship physical prints.

2. Your content

You keep all rights to the photos, route data, titles and text you upload. You give PicsOnAMap a limited licence to store, process and render that content so we can produce your map, show you a preview, and deliver your download.

You confirm that you own the content or have permission to use it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or contain unlawful material. Do not upload photos of people who have not agreed to appear in a product you intend to print or share.

3. Share pages and the free showcase option

Every map gets an interactive share page with a link you control. Anyone you give the link to can view it. The link is also encoded in the optional QR code on your poster. Treat it like any other link to personal photos.

If you choose the free “Share my map” option instead of paying, you grant PicsOnAMap a worldwide, royalty-free licence to display your finished map and its share page on our website, in our marketing and on our social accounts, as an example of what the product can make. You can withdraw this permission at any time by emailing us; we will stop featuring the map going forward, though copies already published elsewhere may persist.

4. Purchases and your licence to the download

Prices are shown in US dollars before checkout and are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Once payment is confirmed we render the full-resolution file and make it available on your download page, and by email if you gave us an address.

You may print, display, gift and share your downloaded map freely for personal, non-commercial use. You may not resell the file or the printed map as a product, or use PicsOnAMap output to build a competing service.

Refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.

5. Keep your own copy

Download your file promptly and store it safely. We keep your files and download page available for a reasonable period after purchase but cannot guarantee indefinite storage. If you lose a file you paid for, email us and we will re-send it if it is still on our servers.

6. Acceptable use

• Do not upload content that is unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, or that you do not have the right to use.
• Do not attempt to access other people's jobs, bypass payment, scrape the service or disrupt it.
• Do not use the service to harass anyone or to publish someone's location without their consent.

We may remove content or refuse service where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken.

7. Map data and third-party services

Base maps are built from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, used under the Open Database License. Payments are handled by Stripe, and optional QR codes may link to Spotify playlists you supply. Those services have their own terms.

8. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

PicsOnAMap is provided “as is”. Rendering depends on the quality of the route and photo data you upload. We do not promise that a particular layout, colour or print size will meet your expectations, or that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to PicsOnAMap is limited to the amount you paid us for the map in question. We are not liable for indirect losses, including the cost of prints you order from third parties.

9. Changes

We may update these terms as the product evolves. The date at the top shows the current version. Continuing to use PicsOnAMap after a change means you accept the new terms.
