General Terms
1. Mapsees Company
At Mapsees, we empower users to explore the world through videos on the global map, connecting them with authentic experiences from destinations they dream of visiting. The majority of videos featured on our platform are user-generated, created by a global community of travelers and creators. We do not claim ownership of these third-party Youtube videos, nor do we profit directly from their display. While our core platform is free, we offer professional video production for destinations, businesses, or users.
2. Service Modifications and Interruptions
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend, modify, or discontinue the Website (or any part thereof) at any time, without prior notice, for reasons including but not limited to:
- Routine or emergency maintenance
 - System upgrades, redesigns, or technical modifications
 - Unforeseen technical failures or security threats
 
3. No Guarantee of Continuity
The Website is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. You acknowledge and agree that access to the Website may be interrupted, delayed, or terminated indefinitely, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, timeliness, or error-free operation.
4. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Mapsees or its suppliers be liable for any consequential loss suffered or incurred by you or any third party arising from the use or inability to use this website or the materials on this website, even if Mapsees or an authorised representative has been notified, orally or in writing, of the possibility of such damage.
In the context of this agreement, “consequential loss” includes any consequential loss, indirect loss, real or anticipated loss of profit, loss of benefit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity, loss of savings, loss of reputation, loss of use and/or loss or corruption of data, whether under statute, contract, equity, tort (including negligence), indemnity or otherwise.
Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:
- Service interruptions, suspensions, or discontinuations
 - Loss of data, profits, or business opportunities
 - Reliance on the Website’s availability or functionality
 - Theft before or during your trip or any kind of loss of your money or other property
 - Accident, injury or other damage to your health before or during your trip
 
This limitation applies regardless of whether such liability arises from contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, except where prohibited by law. You agree that you make your travel actions at your own risk and we have no responsibility with that.
