Terms of Service
Last updated: June 18, 2026
Welcome to MapMarked. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the MapMarked website and services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
Please read these Terms alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information.
1. What MapMarked Does
MapMarked lets you generate custom, print-ready map art for any address, city, or landmark, using map data from OpenStreetMap. You choose a location and a color palette, and we render a downloadable image you can print or use.
2. Free to Use (For Now)
MapMarked is currently free to use. You can create an account and download maps at no cost, subject to the usage limits described below.
We may introduce paid plans or paid features in the future. If we do, we'll provide notice, and any maps you've already downloaded will remain yours to keep. We are not promising the Service will remain free indefinitely, and we are not promising to introduce paid plans on any particular timeline — we're simply letting you know that this may change as the Service evolves.
3. Accounts
To download maps, you need to create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for:
- Keeping your login credentials secure
- All activity that happens under your account
- Providing accurate information when you sign up
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account. The Service is not directed at children.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the Service, or attempt to circumvent usage limits.
4. Usage Limits
To keep the Service available and fair for everyone, downloads of clean (unwatermarked) maps are limited per account on a rolling basis. Watermarked previews are not limited. We may adjust these limits at any time.
Attempting to bypass usage limits — for example, by creating multiple accounts to exceed your download allowance, or by automating requests — is not permitted and may result in account termination.
5. Your License to Use the Maps
Maps you download are provided for your personal and commercial use, subject to these Terms and the OpenStreetMap data license described in Section 6. You may print, display, sell, or distribute physical or digital copies of maps you create, provided you do not:
- Remove or obscure the attribution embedded in the map (see Section 6)
- Resell or redistribute the maps as a competing map-generation service or as raw template files for others to mass-produce
- Use the maps in any unlawful way or in a way that infringes the rights of others
We do not claim ownership of the specific maps you generate. You are responsible for ensuring your use of any address or location does not violate anyone's privacy or other rights.
6. Map Data and Attribution
Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors and is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL). Every map rendered by MapMarked includes attribution to OpenStreetMap contributors and to MapMarked.
You may not remove this attribution. It is required by the OpenStreetMap data license and by these Terms. If you reproduce or display a MapMarked map, the attribution must remain visible.
More information about OpenStreetMap's licensing is available at openstreetmap.org/copyright.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any illegal purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including through automated scraping, bots, or excessive requests
- Use the Service to generate, distribute, or facilitate harmful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing content
- Reverse engineer, copy, or create a competing service from the Service or its underlying technology
8. Intellectual Property
The MapMarked name, logo, website design, software, and the look and feel of the Service are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding except as needed to use the Service normally.
9. Service Availability
We provide the Service "as is" and "as available." We do our best to keep it running, but we don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular map will render successfully. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.
10. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
Map data comes from OpenStreetMap and may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any map. Do not rely on MapMarked maps for navigation, emergency, legal, surveying, or other purposes requiring verified accuracy.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, MapMarked and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service.
Because the Service is currently provided free of charge, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, which for free use is zero, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MapMarked and its operator from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
