Terms of Use

We've drafted these Terms of Use (which we call the “Terms”) so you'll know the rules that govern our relationship with you. By using Carta Maps, you agree to the Terms.

These Terms form a legally binding contract between you and Carta Maps. So please read them carefully.

1. Who Can Use Carta Maps

To use Carta Maps you must be, and represent and warrant that you are, (i) at least 13 years of age, (ii) competent to agree to these Terms and (iii) have not been previously prohibited from accessing or using Carta Maps.

2. Rights We Grant You

As long as you follow these Terms, we grant you limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to use Carta Maps to create, annotate, view and share maps with others.

3. Account Registration

To use Carta Maps, you must register for an account by creating a user name and password. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information about yourself when registering.

You are responsible for any activity that occurs in your Carta Maps account and the security of your account information.

4. Fees

The subscription fees payable for paid versions of Carta Maps are listed on our website. Fees are considered incurred on the first day of each subscription period.

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period.

We are entitled to unilaterally increase the fees by providing you with 30 days written notice of such increase. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use Carta Maps after the price change takes effect.

Payment is accepted by major credit card using a secure third-party payment-processing service. You agree that we may charge the fee, applicable taxes and any transaction charges payable by us to your credit card.

If you wish to dispute any charges, you must give us written notice at [email protected] within 10 days of the charge being applied to your credit card, failing which the charges will be deemed to be accurate.

You are responsible for paying to us any costs incurred by us in collecting any unpaid amounts owed to us by you.

12. Final Terms

We may in our sole discretion at any time, and with or without notice, discontinue or modify any portion or all of the features of Carta Maps. Our doing so is neither a breach or termination of these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

These Terms, plus any other legal notices posted on Carta Maps, make up the entire agreement between you and us.

If we do not enforce a provision in these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver.
