Overview

Locora Terms of Service

Legal Information & Notices

Introduction, Scope & Acceptance

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Locora, including its iOS application, companion website(s), APIs, and any related software, features, content, and services (collectively, the “Service”). The Service is operated by the Locora operator identified in the Contact section (“Locora,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By installing the app, creating an account, or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by any policies referenced herein (including our Privacy Policy). If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the Service.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization; in such case, “you” and “your” refer to that organization. These Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable consumer protection laws, which remain unaffected where they cannot be waived.

Definitions

  • “Service”: the Locora app, companion websites (e.g., https://Locora.app), APIs, related features, content, and updates.
  • “Content”: any information, tips, text, data, images, links, ratings, reviews, or other material submitted or made available via the Service by you or other users.
  • “Apple IAP”: Apple’s in-app purchase mechanisms under Apple’s terms and policies.
  • “Free App”: the current availability of the app without charge, subject to these Terms and any technical or regional limitations.
  • “Paid Features”: any optional, future one-time purchases or consumables offered exclusively via Apple IAP (if introduced).

About the Service & Beta Status

The app may from time to time be offered in beta, preview, or TestFlight form. Pre-release builds may contain defects or differ materially from final releases. Features may change, break, or be removed at any time; data loss may occur. You assume all risks associated with using pre-release builds.

Free App; All Future Purchases via App Store

Locora is currently provided as a free application. We do not charge for downloading or using the core app.

If Locora introduces any optional Paid Features in the future, such purchases will be offered exclusively through Apple In-App Purchases. Locora does not accept payments outside the App Store and does not process or store payment card data.

Apple acts as the merchant of record for Apple IAP. Pricing, taxes, regional availability, and billing are handled under Apple’s terms. Where refunds are available, they are administered solely by Apple in accordance with Apple’s policies; Locora does not issue refunds directly.

Eligibility & Accounts

  • You must be 13 years of age or older to use the Service. Where required by law, users under 18 must have parental/guardian consent.
  • One personal account per individual. You must not sell, rent, transfer, or share your account or access credentials.
  • You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your device and sign-in tokens secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

Sign-in Methods

Locora uses passwordless authentication via Email, Apple, Google, and GitHub, as available. By selecting a provider, you authorize us to receive the minimal identifiers required to create and maintain your account and to perform fraud-prevention, security, and abuse-detection consistent with our Privacy Policy.

Taxes, Pricing & Regions (Apple IAP)

If and when Paid Features are introduced, applicable taxes (e.g., VAT/GST/sales tax), regional pricing, and currency conversions are determined by Apple under Apple IAP terms. Displayed prices may vary by region.

Location Features & Important Disclaimer

With your permission, the app may use precise and background location to trigger welcome experiences when you arrive in a city and to build travel statistics (e.g., cities, countries, days). Location signals may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or unavailable and are not intended for safety-critical use (including emergencies, navigation, or legal compliance). Always verify critical information independently.

User Content (UGC) & Community Rules

You may submit Content such as local tips, comments, links, and ratings. You are solely responsible for your Content and for ensuring compliance with applicable law and these Terms. Do not submit others’ personal data without a lawful basis; do not submit unlawful, harmful, infringing, or deceptive material.

  • License you grant to Locora. You grant Locora a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (e.g., formatting), create derivative works (e.g., translations, re-arrangements), display, perform, and distribute your Content within the Service and in promotional materials (including screenshots, app store listings, newsletters, and social media) to operate, promote, and improve the Service.
  • Public by default. Content is public by default; consider carefully before posting.
  • Moderation. We may review, refuse, edit, hide, or remove any Content at our discretion (e.g., spam, illegal content, harassment, hate speech, misinformation, low-quality or unsafe tips), and we may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.
  • After account deletion. Upon account deletion, your account and personal data are deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy; however, your posted Content may remain to preserve continuity (e.g., public discussions, guides). Where reasonable, attribution may appear as “Deleted user.”
  • No guarantees of accuracy. Community tips and lists may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate; we do not guarantee their correctness or suitability for any particular purpose.

Creator / Editing Plan

If your plan includes editing of public pages or curation privileges, Locora may revert, adjust, or annotate any edits to protect accuracy, safety, compliance, and quality and may throttle or disable editing to prevent abuse.

  • Attribution. Your username may be displayed on public edits, histories, and change logs.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • violate laws or third-party rights;
  • post or transmit illegal, abusive, harassing, hateful, pornographic, or otherwise harmful material;
  • scrape, crawl, or use bots at a rate or in a manner that burdens or degrades the Service;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to access source code except as permitted by law;
  • interfere with security or integrity (e.g., bypass controls, inject malware, exploit vulnerabilities);
  • use the Service for commercial purposes without our permission (beyond normal personal use).

Intellectual Property; Feedback

The Service (including software, design, trademarks, logos, text, and media) is owned by Locora or its licensors and protected by applicable laws. Except as expressly granted, no rights are granted. Your Content remains yours, subject to the license granted to us.

If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you grant Locora a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and commercialize such feedback without obligation or attribution.

Copyright Policy & Repeat Infringer Policy

Locora respects intellectual property rights and will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with applicable law. We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers at our discretion.

If you believe Content infringes your rights, contact us with sufficient detail to identify the work and the allegedly infringing material, and a statement of your rights and good-faith belief (see Contact).

Third-Party Services & Links

The Service may integrate with or link to third-party services (including Apple IAP and sign-in providers). We are not responsible for third-party terms, policies, content, or practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to those third parties’ terms.

Security; Safety

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to our role as an app provider; however, no system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and OS, installing updates promptly, and using the Service in a safe manner.

If you suspect a vulnerability or misuse, contact us immediately (see Contact). We may suspend access to protect users, data, or the Service.

Availability & Changes

The Service is provided without uptime guarantees. Outages, maintenance, and changes may occur. We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time. Support is available at support@Locora.app and via https://Locora.app.

Open-Source Software

The Service may include components subject to open-source licenses. Where an open-source license conflicts with these Terms, the open-source license prevails for the relevant component. Notices and license texts may be provided in-app or on our website.

Export Control, Sanctions & Restricted Uses

You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not listed on applicable sanctions/denied-party lists. You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and not to use the Service in violation thereof.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Where local law imposes a higher age threshold for consent, we comply with that threshold.

Termination & Suspension

You may cease using the Service at any time and may request account deletion in the app (see Privacy Policy). We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, pose risk to users or to the Service, engage in unlawful activity, or where required by law or by a competent authority.

Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. We do not warrant that tips, maps, lists, or other information are correct, complete, or safe for your specific use, nor that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Locora AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE.

Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our aggregate liability shall be limited to €10 for Free App users or, if you made any Apple IAP purchases for Paid Features in the 12 months preceding the claim, to the total amount you paid via Apple IAP during that period, whichever is greater.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Locora and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Governing Law, Jurisdiction & Consumer Rights

These Terms and any dispute or claim (contractual or non-contractual) shall be governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and Locora irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ukraine, except that Locora may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any jurisdiction to protect its rights or the Service.

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights under the laws of your habitual residence. Where such rights apply and cannot be waived, these Terms apply to the maximum extent consistent with those rights.

Notices, Electronic Communications & Language

We may provide notices by in-app message, email, website posting, or App Store listing updates. You consent to receive communications electronically. The English version of these Terms controls in case of conflict with any translation.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, utility or communication failures, or changes in law or government action.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version in the app and/or on the site and update the effective date. Material changes may also be announced in-app or via our community channels. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights and choices.

Feedback & Information

Any feedback you provide through the Service or our channels shall be deemed non-confidential, and Locora may use such information on an unrestricted basis. The information contained in this app and on our website is subject to change without notice. Copyright © 2025 Locora. All rights reserved.
