Terms of Use

1. About BritSquare

BritSquare is a Britain-focused digital mapping and collecting platform. It lets users select and register digital square profiles associated with locations on a map.

2. Your account

You are responsible for information submitted through your account and for keeping access to your account secure. You must not impersonate another person, create accounts for abusive or deceptive purposes, or attempt to bypass platform security.

3. Digital claims

A claim records the current account associated with a BritSquare in our platform database. Availability can change and technical errors can occur. We may correct duplicate, fraudulent, invalid or erroneous claims where reasonably necessary to maintain the integrity of the service.

4. User content

You retain ownership of content you upload. By uploading content, you give BritSquare a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, resize, display and distribute that content as needed to operate, moderate, promote and improve BritSquare. This licence ends when the content is deleted, except where copies must reasonably be retained for legal, security, backup or moderation purposes.

You must have the rights and permissions needed to upload your content. Content must comply with our Community Guidelines and Photo Rules.

5. Verified Local Business

Eligible Pro members may apply to display a Verified Local Business profile on an active BritSquare they own. The business must genuinely operate within that square. Pro membership does not guarantee approval, and BritSquare may request changes, reject an application, remove verification or restrict business tools where information is inaccurate, misleading, outdated, abusive or otherwise unsuitable for the service.

Business owners are responsible for keeping published business information, location pins and offers accurate. Offers must be genuine and clearly described. BritSquare verification confirms only that the platform has approved the listing for display; it is not an endorsement, professional accreditation, guarantee of quality or guarantee that all business information remains current.

6. Prohibited use

You must not use BritSquare to break the law, threaten or harass people, publish unlawful material, infringe intellectual property rights, expose sensitive personal information, interfere with the service, scrape it at unreasonable scale, manipulate claims or engagement, or use business tools for spam, unrelated advertising or deceptive promotions.

7. Moderation

We may review, restrict, reject or remove content, business listings and offers, and may suspend or close accounts where we reasonably believe our rules have been breached, users are at risk, the platform is being abused, or action is required by law.

8. Availability and changes

We aim to keep BritSquare available and accurate, but the service is provided on an “as available” basis. Features, maps, square data, membership benefits, business tools and rules may change as the platform develops.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, BritSquare is not responsible for losses caused by reliance on map boundaries as legal boundaries, user-generated or business-supplied content, temporary unavailability, third-party offers, or use of a digital claim as if it were an interest in physical land.

10. Ending use

You may stop using BritSquare at any time. You may also release a square using the available account tools. We may restrict or end access where reasonably necessary for safety, security, legal compliance or serious/repeated breaches of these terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are intended to be governed by the laws applicable in the United Kingdom. Mandatory consumer rights are not affected.
