SPOT – TERMS OF USE

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLICATION

BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SPOT MOBILE APPLICATION (THE “APP”), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE (THE “TERMS”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP.

THESE TERMS ARE WRITTEN IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. BY CLICKING “AGREE” OR OTHERWISE USING THE APP, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN.

  1. INTRODUCTION

Spot (the “App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a community‑based platform that allows users to report available on‑street parking spots, view parking spots reported by others, and earn or spend virtual coins in connection with such activities. The App is intended to assist users in locating potential parking spaces; however, we do not own, operate, or control any parking spaces, and we do not guarantee the availability, legality, safety, or accuracy of any information provided through the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and Spot. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

  1. USER-GENERATED CONTENT – PARKING SPOT REPORTS

2.1 Reporting Spots.
The App allows you to submit information about parking spots (“Spot Reports”). Spot Reports may include location data, photographs, and other details. You represent and warrant that:

  • You are reporting a parking spot that is lawfully accessible to the public (i.e., on‑street or other publicly available parking areas).
  • You will not report spots located on private property, restricted areas, or any location where parking is prohibited, unless such spots are clearly designated for public parking.
  • You will not submit false, misleading, or fraudulent Spot Reports.
  • You will not report spots that are dangerous, obstruct traffic, or violate any applicable law.

2.2 No Endorsement.
We do not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any Spot Report submitted by users. Spot Reports are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. You acknowledge that other users may report spots that are inaccurate, outdated, or located on private or restricted property.

2.3 Private Spaces and Restricted Areas.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you do not park in areas that are private, restricted, or otherwise unlawful. The App may display Spot Reports for areas that are not actually available for parking. You agree to verify all parking restrictions, signage, and local regulations before parking any vehicle. We are not liable if you rely on a Spot Report and subsequently receive a parking ticket, are towed, or suffer any other loss.

  1. ACCURACY, VERIFICATION, AND REPORTING MECHANISM

3.1 No Guarantee of Accuracy.
Spot does not guarantee that any Spot Report is accurate, current, or reliable. Spot Reports are generated by users and may contain errors, omissions, or fraudulent information. We do not perform independent verification of Spot Reports, and we do not employ any mechanism to confirm the existence or availability of a reported parking spot.

3.2 User Verification Tools.
The App may provide features such as user ratings, photo uploads, or the ability to “confirm” or “dispute” a spot. These features are designed to encourage community self‑regulation but do not constitute our verification or endorsement. We reserve the right to remove Spot Reports that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be fraudulent, inappropriate, or in violation of these Terms.

3.3 Reporting Abuse.
If you encounter a Spot Report that appears false, misleading, or relates to private or restricted property, you may report it through the in‑app reporting mechanism. We will review such reports but are not obligated to take any specific action. We may suspend or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly submit false or abusive Spot Reports.

  1. NAVIGATION AND DIRECTIONS

4.1 Third‑Party Mapping Services.
The App may integrate third‑party mapping services (such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Mapbox) to provide navigation or location suggestions. We do not control these third‑party services, and your use of them is subject to their respective terms of use and privacy policies.

4.2 No Responsibility for Routes or Hazards.
Any navigation directions provided through the App are for informational purposes only. We do not guarantee that routes are safe, lawful, or free from obstacles, traffic, construction, or hazardous conditions. You are solely responsible for complying with all traffic laws and exercising reasonable judgment while driving. You acknowledge that following navigation instructions may lead to unsafe or prohibited areas, and we are not liable for any accidents, injuries, damages, or fatalities that may result from your reliance on such directions.

4.3 Disclaimer of Liability for Personal Injury or Death.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SPOT, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE ON SPOT REPORTS, NAVIGATION DIRECTIONS, OR OTHER CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE APP.

4.4 No Responsibility for Traffic or Mobile Phone Fines.
You acknowledge and agree that using a mobile device while driving may be prohibited or restricted in many jurisdictions. You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable traffic laws, including laws that prohibit or limit the use of mobile phones while operating a vehicle. Spot shall not be liable for any fines, penalties, or legal consequences (including but not limited to tickets for using a mobile phone while driving) that you may incur as a result of interacting with the App while driving. You agree to use the App only when your vehicle is safely parked or when you are a passenger. If you choose to interact with the App while driving, you do so at your own risk, and you assume full responsibility for any resulting traffic citations, accidents, or other consequences.

  1. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONDUCT

  1. COIN SYSTEM

6.1 Virtual Currency.

Coins have no monetary value and are not redeemable for real currency. We reserve the right to modify, limit, or terminate the coin system at any time without prior notice.

6.2 No Real‑World Value.
