THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS.

We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. We make no warranties about the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content on the Service.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SWIPEMAPP AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — ARISING FROM:

• Your access to, use of, or inability to use the Service
• Any content obtained from the Service
• Unauthorised access to or alteration of your transmissions or content
• Conduct of any third party on the Service

IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Swipemapp and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Service

• Your violation of any rights of another person or entity

You may delete your account at any time in the app under Settings → Delete Account. Upon deletion, your access to the Service will be revoked and your content will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for violating these Terms, engaging in illegal activity, or for any other reason at our sole discretion. We will attempt to notify you where feasible.

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 4.2 (License), 6, 9, 10, 11, and 13.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising under these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the jurisdiction where Swipemapp is registered, unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute with us informally by contacting support@swipemapp.com and giving us 30 days to respond. Nothing in this section prevents you from seeking urgent injunctive relief.

If you are an EU consumer, you may also submit a complaint to your local consumer protection authority or use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via a notice in the app or by email at least 15 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
