Terms of Use - Playa Maps

1. Acceptance of These Terms

Playa Maps (the "App") is operated by Playa Cruisers, Inc. ("Playa Cruisers," "we," "us," or "our"). Before first use, the App presents these Terms and requires your agreement; by tapping "I Understand & Continue," or by downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App. The App records the date and app version on which you accept.

2. What the App Is - and Is Not

The App provides route suggestions, map overlays, speed-limit information, and navigation guidance oriented toward low-speed vehicles: Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), golf carts, and bicycles.

The App is a reference and planning aid only. It is not:

• a determination that any road, route, crossing, or maneuver is legal for your vehicle;
• a substitute for your own observation of posted signs, signals, and road conditions;
• a survey, engineering study, or official statement of any government agency; or
• a guarantee that map data, including speed limits, one-way status, closures, and network designations, is current, complete, or accurate.

Route information can be outdated or wrong. You are solely responsible for operating your vehicle safely and lawfully at all times.

3. Operator Responsibility and Assumption of Risk

• NEVs and golf carts are motor vehicles subject to all applicable traffic laws, including California Vehicle Code sections 21251 and 21260, and local ordinances that vary by city.
• Operating any vehicle involves inherent risk. You assume all risk arising from your use of the App and your operation of any vehicle, including risk arising from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated map or routing data.
• You must not interact with the App in ways that distract you while your vehicle is in motion. Program destinations before you depart.
• You are responsible for confirming that your vehicle is legal to operate where you ride, that you hold any required license and registration, and that you comply with all equipment, signage, and insurance requirements.

4. No Warranty

THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ROUTES ARE LEGAL, SAFE, OR AVAILABLE, THAT SPEED-LIMIT OR ROAD DATA IS ACCURATE, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

5. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLAYA CRUISERS AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, DATA PROVIDERS, AND PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, TRAFFIC CITATIONS, OR VEHICLE DAMAGE, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP OR RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Playa Cruisers, Inc. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or connected with: (i) your use of the App; (ii) your operation of any vehicle in connection with the App; (iii) your violation of these Terms; or (iv) your violation of any law or the rights of another person or entity.

You agree not to:

• use the App while operating a vehicle in a manner that violates distracted-driving or any other law;

8. Data Contributions and Feedback

Trip-data sharing is optional, off by default, and governed by the Privacy Policy. By opting in, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, aggregate, and derive statistics from the contributed pseudonymous data, including sharing aggregate statistics with cities and planning agencies. This license survives your later deletion of raw contributed data only as to aggregate statistics already derived. Any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions you submit may be used by us without restriction or compensation.

9. Intellectual Property; Data Sources

The App, its design, software, and curated datasets are owned by Playa Cruisers, Inc. or its licensors. Map and network data include material from third-party sources, including OpenStreetMap, the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) Local Travel Network, SCAG regional bike network data, Los Angeles County eGIS, NREL, HERE Technologies, and Apple MapKit, as described in the App's Data Sources & Attribution screen. No data source endorses the App. Your use of Apple MapKit content through the App is also subject to Apple's terms.

10. Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, your use of the App is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA with respect to your licensed use of the App obtained through Apple, the Apple EULA controls to the extent of that conflict, except that these Terms continue to govern your relationship with Playa Cruisers, Inc. regarding the App's content, route guidance, data practices described in our Privacy Policy, and our liability to you. Apple is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.

11. Third-Party Services

The App relies on services operated by third parties, including platform, mapping, routing, hosting, and app-infrastructure providers. We are not responsible for third-party services, and their availability may change. Their terms and privacy policies apply to their processing.

12. United States Only; Export

The App is currently offered for use in the United States. You may not use, export, or re-export the App except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the App was obtained. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

13. Changes to the App and These Terms

We may modify or discontinue features at any time. We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted in the App and on our website with an updated "Last updated" date, and continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
