Land Layers

Terms of Use

Effective date: [[EFFECTIVE DATE]] · Last updated: [[EFFECTIVE DATE]]

Key points

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and [[PUBLISHER LEGAL NAME]] (“we”, “us”, “our”) governing your use of the Land Layers mobile application, the reports it produces, our website at landlayers.com and related online services (together, the “Service”). By downloading, accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

When you first open the app, you accept these Terms by tapping “Accept and start” (or by signing in from the welcome screen). Before your first report, the app also asks for the separate confirmation described in section 3.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data and forms part of these Terms.

2. The Service

Land Layers lets you draw or select the boundary of a piece of land on a map, measure it, view map layers, and request a report that compiles publicly available geographic, environmental and statistical information about that location, such as elevation, slope, flood zones, soils, climate, infrastructure and regulatory references. Available information differs by country and region; some features, such as ready-made parcel boundaries, are available only in certain U.S. states. Reports, including the free preview, are available only for parcels inside the coverage area shown in the app (currently the United States, excluding Alaska); the app checks the location before a report credit is used.

Sample reports, figures, screenshots and descriptions on our website, in the App Store or in our other communications are illustrative examples. What a Report contains depends on the parcel and on what the data sources provide when it is generated, and some items may be unavailable.

3. Information only: no professional advice

Please read this section carefully.

The Service and all reports, measurements, maps and other output (“Reports”) are provided for general information purposes only. Reports are generated automatically by algorithms from third-party public data and from the boundary that you draw or select. They do not interpret, score or recommend a land, and:

Measurements depend on the accuracy of the boundary you provide and of the maps and imagery used to draw it, and may differ from official records. You are solely responsible for any decision you make and should verify all information with the competent public authorities and appropriately licensed professionals before buying, selling, financing, insuring, building on or otherwise relying on any land.

Your acknowledgement. Before your first analysis, and again whenever these terms change materially, the app asks you to confirm, by ticking a box and tapping “Agree”, that you have read and accept the nature of Reports described in this section and these Terms. We keep a record of the version you accepted and when. No analysis is run without this confirmation.

No reliance by others. Reports are prepared solely for the account holder who requested them. If you give or show a Report to anyone else (for example, a client, buyer, lender or partner), you must provide it in full, including its notices; that person is not our customer, acquires no rights against us and may not rely on the Report. If you use the Service in your business, you must not present a Report as your own professional opinion or as a survey, appraisal, inspection or official determination, and you are responsible for your own communications and professional obligations towards your clients.

No professional relationship. Using the Service does not create an advisory, fiduciary, agency or other professional relationship between you and us. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we owe no duty of care to you or to any other person regarding the content of Reports beyond the obligations expressly stated in these Terms.

4. Data sources, accuracy and coverage

Reports are compiled by software from data published by third parties, including government agencies, public research institutions and open-data projects, and from the boundary that you draw or select. We do not create, control, audit or verify that data. It may be incomplete, outdated, generalized, inaccurate, mislocated or temporarily unavailable, and sources may change, delay or stop providing data without notice.

The automated processing that turns this data into a Report can also produce errors, for example: missing or misidentifying a road, stream, utility or facility; placing a feature in the wrong category; miscalculating a distance, area, share or elevation; or combining records from sources with different dates or precision. A value shown as “none found”, “not available” or a distance does not mean that a feature does or does not exist on or near the land.

Accordingly, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for the acts, omissions, errors, delays or unavailability of any third-party data source, or for errors arising from the automated processing of that data. Reports include the source attributions required by data providers’ terms. If a source does not respond when a Report is generated, the corresponding item may be omitted or marked as not available.

5. Eligibility and accounts

You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your country of residence to make purchases. If you are a minor, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. The Service is not directed to children under 16.

Some features, including purchases and keeping reports across devices, require signing in with Apple. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping access to your Apple ID secure. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app, as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Free preview, credits and subscriptions

6.1 Free preview

Each user may generate one free preview report. A preview contains a limited selection of report sections. Creating multiple accounts or identities, or otherwise attempting to obtain additional free previews, is not permitted. To prevent abuse, we limit free previews per device, per Apple account and per network, and a free preview cannot be claimed again by deleting and re-creating an account.

6.2 Report credits

You can buy single report credits or credit packs as in-app purchases. One credit allows you to generate one full report. Credits:

If a full report cannot be generated because of an error on our side, the credit used is automatically returned to your balance.

6.3 PRO subscription

PRO Monthly is an auto-renewing subscription that includes a set number of full reports in each monthly subscription period, as shown in the app at the time of purchase. Unused reports do not roll over to the next period.

6.4 Prices, payments and refunds

Prices are shown in the app in your local currency as provided by the App Store and may include applicable taxes. We may change prices for future purchases; if we increase the price of a subscription, Apple will notify you as required by its rules. All payments are processed by Apple under the App Store terms, and refund requests are handled by Apple (for example at reportaproblem.apple.com). If a purchase is refunded, the corresponding credits or subscription benefits are removed from your account; if they have already been used, your balance will not go below zero.

Where you have a statutory right of withdrawal for digital content (for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom or Türkiye), you agree that report credits and subscription benefits are made available immediately after purchase and acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you lose your right of withdrawal once the digital content has been supplied. This does not affect your rights under Apple’s refund policies or any mandatory consumer law.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

You may use Reports for your own personal or internal business purposes and share them with others, such as advisors, buyers or family members, provided they remain unaltered and include their disclaimers.

8. Your content

You keep any rights you have in the boundaries, locations and search queries you submit (“Your Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process and transmit Your Content only as needed to provide, secure and improve the Service, including sending location coordinates to the data providers described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for having the right to submit Your Content.

If you add business details or a logo to your reports (the “Business profile”), they are also Your Content and are stored only on your device and used only to print them on your own reports. You confirm that you are entitled to use the logo, names, trademarks and contact details you add, and that they do not infringe anyone else’s rights or impersonate another person or business. If we are notified that the Business profile is used in breach of these rules, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service.

9. Intellectual property and license

The Service, including the app, its design, software, text, graphics, report layout and the Land Layers name and logo, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and use the app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules, and to use Reports as described in section 7.

Underlying public data remains subject to the rights and terms of its providers. Map data and imagery are the property of their respective providers and are shown with the attributions they require.

If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them without any obligation to you.

10. Third-party services and data

The Service uses and links to third-party services, such as Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store and Apple Maps), subscription management, geocoding, map tile and public data providers. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, content or websites, and their availability may affect the Service.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service and all Reports are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that any data or Report will be accurate, complete or current.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty, right or remedy that cannot be excluded or limited under the law applicable to you, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

You acknowledge that the price of the Service reflects this allocation of risk and that we would not provide Reports at this price without these limitations.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Service or Reports, or (c) any claim by a person with whom you shared a Report or to whom you provided information derived from it, including your clients. This section does not apply to consumers where such an obligation is not permitted by law.

14. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonable, we will notify you in advance and give you an opportunity to fix the issue. If we terminate your access without cause, or discontinue the Service entirely, we will give reasonable advance notice where possible so you can use your remaining credits, and we will handle unused paid credits as required by applicable law. Sections 3, 4, 9 and 11 to 18 survive termination.

15. Changes to the Service and these terms

We continuously develop the Service and may add, change or remove features, data sources and coverage areas. We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will notify you in the app or by other appropriate means at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless the change is required by law or relates to new features. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service before they take effect and may delete your account.

16. Terms applicable to the App Store

If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store, the following terms also apply:

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts and enforcement offices of İstanbul (Çağlayan) have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law and jurisdiction does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence. Consumers in Türkiye may also apply to the competent Consumer Arbitration Committee (Tüketici Hakem Heyeti) or consumer court within the monetary limits set each year. Consumers in the European Union may also use the online dispute resolution options available under applicable law.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

Individual claims only. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis; you agree not to bring or take part in a class, collective or representative action against us.

Time limit. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim relating to the Service or a Report must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise it is permanently barred.
