Terms of Service

Effective date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: January 1, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the HistoricWalk platform operated by [YOUR BUSINESS NAME] ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use HistoricWalk. By creating an account you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Accounts

You may sign in using Google. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Purchases and Refunds

Tour purchases are one-time payments that grant lifetime access to the purchased tour content. All purchases are processed securely through Stripe.

• All sales are final. Due to the digital nature of the content, we do not offer refunds once a tour has been unlocked and accessed.
• If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from accessing purchased content, contact us and we will work to resolve it.
• Prices are listed in US dollars and are subject to change. Your purchase locks in the price at the time of payment.

4. License to Use Content

When you purchase a tour, we grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use that tour's content for your own private, non-commercial use. You may not:

• Copy, reproduce, or distribute tour content to others.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit any tour content.
• Reverse-engineer or attempt to extract tour data, routes, or challenges.

5. User-Submitted Content

Some challenges ask you to submit photos. By submitting photos you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and display them for the purpose of operating the Service (e.g., confirming challenge completion). We will not sell your photos or use them in marketing without your explicit consent.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
• Attempt to circumvent challenges, share answers, or cheat in a way that degrades the experience for others.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its servers.
• Impersonate any person or entity.

7. Safety and Outdoor Risks

HistoricWalk tours take place outdoors in public spaces. You are responsible for your own safety at all times. By using the Service you acknowledge that:

• You will obey all traffic laws, cross streets safely, and remain aware of your surroundings.
• You will not trespass on private property.
• Outdoor activities carry inherent risks. We are not liable for injuries, accidents, or losses that occur during a tour.

8. Intellectual Property

All content in the Service — including tour text, challenge designs, maps, logos, and the HistoricWalk name — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that historical information is complete or current.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [YOUR BUSINESS NAME] and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
