Terms of Use

Your agreement and consumer rights

These terms govern your use of TapsMaps. The operator’s legal identity is pending configuration; these draft terms must not be used to launch the service. Creating an account requires acceptance of these Terms and acknowledgment of the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not create an account or submit content. Mandatory consumer rights and protections in your jurisdiction are not waived by these terms.

Eligibility and alcohol-related content

The proposed minimum account age is 18. This policy is not a representation that age verification is performed. TapsMaps is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information. Do not submit information about children. LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED: counsel must approve the final minimum age and jurisdiction-specific alcohol-advertising rules before launch.

You must comply with the drinking-age and other laws where you are. TapsMaps does not sell, supply or deliver alcohol. Venue operators remain responsible for lawful advertising, offers and alcohol service. A listed promotion is not an invitation to obtain alcohol unlawfully.

Accounts and security

Provide accurate registration information, keep credentials confidential, and do not share or transfer accounts without authorization. You are responsible for authorized activity on your account; promptly report suspected misuse. We may require identity or business-authority checks proportionate to the request. Do not create automated or deceptive accounts. Account recovery is subject to the authentication provider’s controls.

Venue, Happy Hour, price and event information

Happy Hour schedules, menu items, prices, venue hours and availability can change without notice. Events may be cancelled; promotions can expire. Imported, community and third-party information may be outdated, incomplete or wrong. Confirm important details directly with the venue before travelling, booking, ordering or relying on an offer. We do not guarantee availability, prices, schedules, menus, reservations, accessibility, safety or that an event will occur.

TapsMaps is a discovery service, not a venue operator, booking agent, food-safety authority, emergency service or guarantor of experiences. Unless expressly stated, listings do not create a reservation, ticket, offer contract or partnership. Venues determine applicable conditions, capacity, eligibility, taxes and fees.

Location, maps and navigation

With your browser/device permission, location can help find venues and approximate distance. Device estimates, map positions and calculated distances may be inaccurate. Mapbox is optional and has its own terms and privacy practices. Do not rely on TapsMaps for emergency navigation, personal safety, accessible routing or real-time travel instructions. Pay attention to surroundings and obtain suitable assistance in an emergency.

Third-party sources and links

Factual listings may come from business representatives, official websites, open datasets, licensed or otherwise permitted providers, public sources where permitted, and community submissions. Source labels and confidence are signals rather than guarantees. Third-party material is distinct from original TapsMaps software and presentation. We do not claim ownership of third-party trademarks or factual material solely because we display it.

Links to restaurant, reservation, mapping and other external services are provided for convenience. We do not control their content, availability, security or terms; their own terms and privacy notices apply separately. A listing or link does not imply endorsement, sponsorship or partnership.

Business claims and verification

Only authorized representatives may claim or manage a business. Verification checks submitted evidence and does not certify the business, its safety, quality, legal compliance or every offer. We may request additional evidence, refuse a claim, restrict disputed access, or review ownership transfers. Do not use someone else’s documents or impersonate a representative. Business Terms apply to business submissions and management.

Submissions, corrections and confirmations

Submit information you reasonably believe accurate and have authority to share. Describe what you observed, avoid unnecessary personal information, and do not submit confidential documents except through the private verification workflow. Factual Happy Hour confirmations and corrections may be submitted with a verified email without creating an account. An administrator or authorized verified business representative must approve them before the published schedule changes. Corrections and community confirmations may be reviewed, rejected or published with appropriate provenance. Emails and reviewer notes are not displayed publicly. Submission does not guarantee acceptance or a response by a particular date.

You retain ownership of your original content. To the extent you own the necessary rights, you grant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, sublicensable only to providers and partners as reasonably necessary, to host, reproduce, format, display, distribute and use your voluntary public submissions to operate and promote TapsMaps. Private claim documents are limited to verification, security and legal handling, not promotion. This license ends when content is removed except for reasonable backup, legal-retention and previously lawful distributions. ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED: scope, termination and local moral-rights restrictions.

Acceptable use and prohibited conduct

Do not post fake listings, fraudulent claims, spam, threats, harassment, unlawful or infringing content, malicious links, discriminatory abuse or another person’s private information without authority. Do not compromise accounts, circumvent access restrictions or rate limits, create automated accounts, or interfere with the service.

Do not scrape, bulk download, commercially redistribute protected service content, or reverse engineer non-public systems without permission, except where applicable law or an applicable open-source/open-data license permits it. These restrictions do not create ownership in uncopyrightable facts or override third-party license rights.

Copyright, trademarks and complaints

Original TapsMaps software, UI and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Third-party trademarks, logos, images and source materials remain with their respective rights holders. Do not upload material unless you have appropriate rights. Report suspected infringement using the Copyright page; repeated or serious infringement can lead to removal or account restrictions.

Moderation, removal, suspension and termination

We may investigate reports, request evidence, edit or remove inaccurate or unlawful content, restrict features, suspend or terminate accounts for violations, fraud, security risk or legal requirements, subject to applicable notice and appeal rights. We do not promise continuous or exhaustive monitoring. You may stop using the service and request account deletion through Privacy Requests. Ownership disputes and retained records may require additional handling. You may ask for review of an enforcement decision through Contact.

Promoted listings and future paid services

Paid placement must be clearly labeled Sponsored or Promoted and not disguised as organic ranking. No payment, paid subscription, automatic renewal or refund workflow is implemented in this release. Future charges require separate pricing, billing, renewal, cancellation and applicable refund disclosures before purchase. Creating an account or granting analytics consent does not enroll you in a paid plan or marketing email.

Disclaimers and warranties

To the extent permitted by law, TapsMaps and its information are provided as available without warranties of uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. No service is completely secure. We are not responsible for independent venue service quality, food safety, alcohol service, accessibility, conduct, transportation, personal safety, reservation or deal availability, price changes or event cancellations. Nothing excludes a duty or warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Liability and indemnification — attorney review required

To the extent legally permitted, liability for indirect, consequential or special losses arising from service use is limited. This draft sets no arbitrary monetary cap. Counsel must approve any cap, exceptions and enforceability before launch. Nothing limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence where prohibited, or non-waivable statutory rights.

To the extent lawful and proportionate, users responsible for unlawful submissions or intentional misuse may be required to compensate the operator for resulting third-party claims and reasonable costs. This does not require indemnity for the operator’s own fault or remove consumer protections. Counsel must finalize scope, defense control and notice provisions.

Disputes and governing law

Governing law and venue are not yet finalized. ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED before these terms become effective.

No arbitration agreement or class-action waiver is imposed by this draft. Counsel may elect to propose a separate enforceable provision with appropriate notice, consent, exceptions and opt-out rights. Contact us first to seek an informal resolution; statutory complaint and court rights remain available.

Changes and contact

We version these terms centrally and display their effective and updated dates. Material changes should receive proportionate notice and, where necessary, renewed acceptance before covered account actions. Existing acceptance records remain available for authorized administration. Continued use is not a substitute for consent where affirmative consent is legally required.

Use our Contact page to submit a legal inquiry. Operator contact details must be finalized before public launch.
