Terms of Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

• you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement;
• you meet the minimum age requirements above; and
• your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

History Traveled is a platform that allows users to explore, save, organize, display, and share location-based historical markers, travel experiences, event records, photographs, notes, and other related content.

The Service may include free and paid features, including subscriptions, account-based storage, map-based content, geolocation features, and community or public-facing contributions.

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To access certain features, you may be required to create an account. You agree to:

• provide accurate, current, and complete information;
• keep your login credentials secure and confidential;
• promptly update your account information if it changes; and
• accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You may not share your account in a way that circumvents subscription limits or otherwise misuses the Service.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created legal risk for us, harmed other users, or misused the Service.

You agree not to:

• violate any law or regulation;
• infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• upload viruses, malware, or harmful code;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
• scrape, harvest, crawl, or extract data from the Service except as expressly allowed;
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service;
• submit false, misleading, or fraudulent location information;
• use the Service to stalk, harass, dox, or endanger others;
• upload content that is hateful, threatening, sexually exploitative, or violent; or
• use bots or automated methods to create accounts or access the Service in a way that burdens our systems.

The Service may collect, process, and use precise or approximate location data, including GPS data, map interactions, saved places, marker coordinates, route information, timestamps, and related metadata.

By using location-enabled features, you consent to our collection, use, storage, and processing of location information as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for your own safety and judgment when visiting any location shown in the Service. History Traveled does not guarantee the safety, accessibility, legality, accuracy, or current condition of any place, route, event, or marker.

Content within the Service is provided for general informational, educational, travel, or entertainment purposes only. We do not warrant that any historical or factual content is complete, accurate, unbiased, current, or error-free. Users should independently verify facts, dates, boundaries, locations, and access restrictions before relying on them.

The Service, including its software, design, branding, logos, text, graphics, interfaces, maps, compilations, databases, and other content excluding User Content, is owned by or licensed to History Traveled and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms, no rights are granted to you.

If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions regarding the Service, you grant History Traveled a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free right to use and exploit them for any purpose without restriction or compensation.

The Service may integrate with third-party services including mapping providers, payment processors, analytics vendors, authentication providers, cloud hosting providers, app stores, and social sharing tools. We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to protect users or third parties, or if required by law.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those relating to ownership, transferred rights, licenses, payments, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by law, History Traveled disclaims all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, History Traveled and its officers, directors, owners, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, content, profits, revenue, goodwill, or business opportunity. Total liability for all claims shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to History Traveled in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty U.S. dollars (US $50).

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless History Traveled and its officers, directors, owners, affiliates, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting updated Terms and updating the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective means you accept the revised Terms.

• These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and History Traveled regarding the Service.
• If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
• Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
• You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
