Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Poop Advisor, or by creating an account, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use Poop Advisor. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate information when creating your account, keeping your login credentials secure, and all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at [Contact Email].

You may not create multiple accounts for the purpose of evading restrictions, manipulating reviews, or any other form of abuse.

User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of the content you submit to Poop Advisor, including reviews, ratings, feature tags, and photos. By submitting content, you grant [Company Name] a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, reproduce, and use your content within the Poop Advisor platform for the purpose of operating and improving the service.

This license ends when you delete your content or your account, except for anonymized reviews you choose to preserve during account deletion, which remain on the platform under a randomly generated name with no connection to your identity.

Prohibited Content and Conduct

You agree not to submit content or use the platform in ways that include, but are not limited to, the following:

Fake or misleading reviews that do not reflect a genuine experience. Spam, promotional content, or repetitive submissions intended to manipulate scores. Harassment, hate speech, threats, or personal attacks directed at other users or business owners. Sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise inappropriate photos. Content that infringes on another person's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights. Impersonation of another person, business, or entity. Any activity that violates applicable local, national, or international law.

Content Moderation

We reserve the right to review, edit, or remove any content that violates these Terms or that we determine to be harmful, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. We are not obligated to monitor all content submitted to the platform, but we may do so at our discretion.

If your content is removed, we may notify you with a reason, but we are not required to do so in all circumstances.

Intellectual Property

The Poop Advisor platform — including its design, branding, code, and all original content created by [Company Name] — is our intellectual property and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the platform without our written permission.

User-generated content remains the property of its respective authors, subject to the license granted above.

Third-Party Services

Poop Advisor relies on third-party services including Google Places API, Mapbox, Supabase, and Vercel. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of these services. Your use of features powered by these services may also be subject to their respective terms and policies.

Disclaimers

Reviews on Poop Advisor reflect the personal opinions of individual users. [Company Name] does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of any review, rating, or photo submitted to the platform. We are not responsible for decisions you make based on information found on Poop Advisor.

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, [Company Name] shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or profits arising from your use of or inability to use the service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. Since Poop Advisor is currently free to use, this amount is zero.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless [Company Name] and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

Account Termination

We may suspend or permanently delete your account if you violate these Terms, engage in abusive behavior, or use the platform in a way that harms other users or the integrity of the service. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before or at the time of termination, but reserve the right to act immediately where necessary.

You may delete your own account at any time through the account settings page. See our Privacy Policy for details on what happens to your data upon deletion.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Romania.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify users via the app or by email where possible. Your continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
