Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 17, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Merchmapper. By creating an account or using the Merchmapper website at www.merchmapper.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use Merchmapper.

If you have questions about these terms, contact us at hello@merchmapper.com.

2. What Merchmapper Is

Merchmapper is a discovery platform where you can find merchandise from real-world places — parks, breweries, museums, markets, and more — displayed on an interactive map, sourced from both official place-affiliated sellers and independent third-party sellers.

For most listings, Merchmapper does not sell merchandise directly. Those products are sold by independent third-party vendors through their own stores, and when you click through to purchase, you leave Merchmapper and complete the transaction directly with the vendor. Merchmapper is not a party to those purchases.

For select listings, Merchmapper facilitates the sale and fulfillment of products through our external fulfillment partners. Where this is the case, it will be indicated on the product listing, and additional terms governing those purchases (including payment, shipping, and returns) will apply.

Product listings on Merchmapper are discovered and imported from publicly available vendor websites or submitted directly by vendors and creators. We do not guarantee that any listing is accurate, current, or available. Prices, product details, and availability may change at any time.

3. Accounts

To access certain features, you need to create an account. You can sign up using an email and password or by signing in with your Google account.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you sign in with Google, you are also responsible for the security of your Google account. Merchmapper's use of Google sign-in is subject to Google's Terms of Service.

When you sign in with Google, Merchmapper receives only your name, email address, and profile photo from Google. We do not access your Gmail, Google Drive, or any other Google service or data.

Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You must provide accurate information when creating your account and keep it up to date.

4. Account Roles

Merchmapper has four account roles: user, member, creator, and admin. Different roles have access to different features, including the ability to submit products and design requests. Merchmapper reserves the right to change role permissions at any time.

5. User-Submitted Content

Members and creators may submit products and design requests for review and potential inclusion on the Merchmapper site.

By submitting content to Merchmapper, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display and reproduce that content on the platform solely for the purpose of showcasing and promoting your products to users (for example, displaying product images, names, and descriptions on listings, search results, and promotional materials for Merchmapper). This license does not give us rights to modify your content beyond minor formatting or technical adjustments needed for display, and does not transfer ownership of your content or any underlying intellectual property to Merchmapper.

You may request that we remove your submitted content at any time, and we will do so within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any orders already placed or in process.

You are responsible for ensuring that anything you submit does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party. Merchmapper reserves the right to reject, remove, or decline to publish any submission at its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Merchmapper to:

  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the platform
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the platform or its infrastructure
  • Submit content that is false, misleading, infringing, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Interfere with or disrupt the platform or servers connected to it
  • Use the platform for any purpose that violates applicable law

Merchmapper reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms or use the platform in a way that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful to Merchmapper or other users.

7. Third-Party Vendors, Fulfillment Partners, and Links

Product listings on Merchmapper include links to third-party vendor websites. Merchmapper has no control over and takes no responsibility for the content, policies, pricing, shipping, returns, or practices of those websites.

For most listings, any purchase you make on a vendor's website is solely between you and that vendor. Merchmapper is not responsible for products you purchase, disputes with vendors, or any harm arising from your use of a third-party site. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any vendor site before making a purchase.

For listings where Merchmapper facilitates the sale and fulfillment of products through an external fulfillment partner, that purchase is subject to the additional terms disclosed at checkout, including those governing payment processing, shipping, and returns. Merchmapper's role in these transactions is limited to facilitation through our fulfillment partner, and any issues with order fulfillment should be directed to us or to the fulfillment partner as instructed at checkout.

8. Intellectual Property

All Merchmapper branding, design, code, and original content is owned by Merchmapper. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our original content without our written permission.

Product names, images, and descriptions displayed on Merchmapper belong to their respective vendors, members, or creators and remain their property. Merchmapper's use of this content is limited to the license described in Section 5 (User-Submitted Content) for member- and creator-submitted content, and to discovery purposes for vendor content sourced from publicly available vendor websites. Nothing in these terms grants you any rights in third-party vendor, member, or creator content beyond what is expressly stated.

9. Disclaimers

Merchmapper is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We do not warrant that any product listing is accurate, current, or available.

Your use of Merchmapper is at your own risk.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Merchmapper and its owners, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Merchmapper's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the platform will not exceed the greater of $0 or the total amount you have paid to Merchmapper in the twelve months preceding the claim. Because Merchmapper is a free service, this limit is $0 in most cases.

11. Account Termination

Merchmapper may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms or for any other reason at our discretion.

You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting hello@merchmapper.com. Upon deletion, your profile information is removed and your engagement data (likes, saves, follows, submissions) is anonymized.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Merchmapper after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you should stop using Merchmapper and may request account deletion.

13. Changes to the Service

Merchmapper reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the platform at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the service.

14. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Merchmapper will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Georgia.
