How we treat each other here

Welcome to TributeMap. We've kept these terms as clear as possible. If you have questions, email us at info@tributemap.com.

What TributeMap is

TributeMap is a platform where visitors can place tributes to people, places, pets and events, tied to a location on the map. Others can visit these tributes and, after moderation, leave memories.

Who's responsible

TributeMap is maintained by Johan and family. We're a private initiative, not a commercial organization or registered charity. Contact via info@tributemap.com.

Use of the site

By using TributeMap you agree to these terms. You may use the site to share tributes and memories that align with the tone and purpose of the platform.

What you may not do:

• Place tributes about people without their permission
• Share content that's hateful, hurtful, defamatory or threatening
• Use someone else's photos without permission
• Post spam, ads or commercial messages
• Spread incorrect or misleading information
• Disrupt the site or other visitors technically

Content you place

• You retain ownership. What you share remains yours. We claim no ownership.
• You grant us a license to display, store and copy the content for moderation and backup purposes.
• You vouch for what you place. You confirm that you have the right to share the content and that it doesn't infringe third-party rights.
• We moderate. Every tribute and memory is read before publication. We may refuse, edit (in consultation with the owner) or remove content that violates these terms.

Moderation of memories

Memories on a tribute pass first by the tribute's owner, via a mailed link. If a visitor reports something, a moderator may edit or remove it. The owner is notified with the change included.

Privacy

How we handle your data is described on our privacy page. We work without ads or third-party trackers.

Contributions and payments

Visitors can voluntarily contribute via Ko-fi or PayPal to support the site. These are not donations in the legal sense (we are not a registered charity), but tips. No service or tax benefit is exchanged.

When paid services become available (premium-tribute, subscription), their terms will be presented separately at the point of order. Until then, use of TributeMap is free.

Liability

TributeMap is provided as-is. We do our best to keep the site safe and reliable, but:

• We're not liable for unavailability, data errors or loss of content, though we work hard to prevent these via backups and careful practice
• We're not liable for what visitors post or for consequences of sharing it
• We're not liable for actions of payment processors (Ko-fi, PayPal)

Where liability does arise, it's limited to the amount you've paid through the site in the last year (for free users: zero).

Termination

You can have your tribute removed at any time by emailing info@tributemap.com. We may refuse or revoke access in case of serious breach of these terms.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the most recent change. For major changes affecting your tribute, we'll send an email.

Applicable law

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be brought before the competent court in the Netherlands.
