Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Loci mobile application (“Loci”, “the app”). Loci is provided by Kanstantsin Hancharou (listed on Google Play as “Hancharou”), Woburn, Massachusetts, USA (“we”, “us”). By installing or using the app you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Loci on Android devices that you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and the Google Play Terms of Service. The app is licensed, not sold. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse-engineer or create derivative works of the app, except where such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law or allowed by the licenses of open-source components included in the app (listed in the app under Settings → Open source licenses).
2. Your data stays on your device
Loci stores your maps, places, notes and photos only on your device. We do not run a server for your content and do not have access to it. You are responsible for keeping your own backups; the app lets you export any map as a ZIP backup at any time, free of charge. How the app handles data is described in our Privacy Policy.
3. Loci Pro subscription
- What it includes. Loci Pro unlocks additional features, such as more places per map, more photos per place, custom place icons and export to GPX and KML. The free version of the app remains usable without a subscription, and ZIP backup is always free.
- Billing through Google Play. Subscriptions are purchased and billed through Google Play. Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency, and may include taxes.
- Automatic renewal. A subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the renewal date in Google Play.
- Free trial. If a free trial is offered, you will not be charged during the trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts automatically and you are charged the price shown at purchase. A free trial is available once per Google account.
- Cancelling. You can cancel at any time in the Google Play app (Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions) or from Settings → Manage subscription in Loci. After cancelling, Loci Pro stays active until the end of the current billing period.
- Refunds. Payments are handled by Google, and refunds follow the Google Play refund policy.
- When Loci Pro ends. Nothing you added is deleted or hidden. You can view and edit everything; you just cannot add more than the free plan allows until you subscribe again.
- Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Google Play will notify you in advance as required, and you can cancel before the new price applies.
4. Third-party services
Loci uses third-party services such as Google Maps, Google Play and Firebase. Your use of these services is also subject to their own terms. Map data, search results and place information come from these providers; we do not guarantee their accuracy or availability.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Loci in violation of any law, to harass, stalk or harm others, or to infringe anyone’s rights. You are responsible for the content you add to the app and for any files you choose to share or export.
6. No warranty
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LOCI IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT YOUR DATA WILL NOT BE LOST. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR LOCI PRO IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY US DOLLARS (USD 50), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.
8. Export and sanctions
You may use the app only in compliance with applicable export control and sanctions laws, including those of the United States. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
9. Termination
These Terms apply until terminated. Your rights under them end automatically if you breach them. You may stop using the app and delete it at any time. Cancelling the app does not cancel a subscription — cancel it in Google Play.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at this address, with the date of the last update at the top. If changes are significant, we will let you know in the app or on its Google Play page. Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
