Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of LookoutFinder at lookoutfinder.com, including the web application under lookoutfinder.com/app (together, the “Service”). Please read them before creating an account. By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms are also the terms and conditions (regulamin) required by the Polish Act of 18 July 2002 on the provision of electronic services. How we handle personal data is described separately in our Privacy Policy.

1. Who we are

The Service is provided by Agileo.pl Mirosław Kapinos (sole proprietorship registered in Poland), Poland, tax ID (NIP): 8171833685 (“we”, “us”).

Contact: mk@agileo.pl. This address is also our single point of contact under the Digital Services Act (see the Contact page).

2. What the Service does

LookoutFinder is a community map of scenic viewpoints. The Service is currently in early access and is provided free of charge. It lets you:

• browse the map and viewpoint pages, including photos, descriptions, ratings, reviews, condition alerts from other users and a weather forecast — without an account;
• with an account: rate viewpoints (overall, view, accessibility, originality and crowds), write reviews, rate photos, report current conditions at a viewpoint, save viewpoints to your lists and keep a public or private profile;
• apply to become a contributor; approved contributors can add viewpoints and upload photos;
• download full-resolution photos using tokens (see section 7).

Features described on our website as “coming soon” or “planned” (such as paid licensing for contributors or print-on-demand) are not part of the Service until we announce that they are available, together with any additional terms that apply to them.

3. Technical requirements

To use the Service you need an internet connection and a current version of a common web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge) with JavaScript and browser storage enabled. To create an account you need a Google account. Using any online service involves general risks, such as malware or unauthorised access to your device or accounts; keep your browser, device and Google account secure.

4. Accounts

• Sign-in. You create an account and sign in with your Google account. We receive from Google your name, e-mail address, Google account identifier and profile picture (see the Privacy Policy). We do not receive your Google password.
• Age. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• One person, accurate details. An account is personal. Do not create accounts for someone else, impersonate others or share access to your account. You are responsible for activity on your account; tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use.
• Roles. Every new account is a standard user account. Contributors are users whose application we have approved. Administrators are members of our team who moderate content and manage accounts. We decide on contributor applications at our discretion and may withdraw contributor status if a contributor breaches these Terms.
• Public profile. Your display name and profile picture are shown next to content you publish. Your profile page is public unless you make it private in your profile settings; the content you publish stays visible with your name.

5. Your content

5.1 What counts as your content

“Your content” means everything you submit to the Service: viewpoints (name, location, description, category, tags and other details), photos, ratings, reviews, condition alerts, lists, profile details and contributor applications.

5.2 You keep your rights

You keep the copyright and any other rights you have in your content. We do not claim ownership of it.

5.3 Licence you give us

To run the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, resize and convert (for example to create thumbnails and web-optimised versions), display and make available your content within the Service and in previews of the Service (for example on our home page, in sitemaps or in link previews when someone shares a viewpoint), and to transmit it to our service providers for these purposes. For photos, this licence also covers making the full-resolution file available to users who redeem tokens for it, under the download licence in section 7.4.

The licence lasts as long as your content is in the Service and ends when you delete it or your account, except for: (a) copies that other users have already downloaded under section 7.4, (b) a reasonable period needed to remove the content from our systems and backups, and (c) content we must keep to comply with the law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5.4 Your promises about your content

By submitting content you confirm that:

• you took the photos yourself, or you hold all rights needed to upload them and grant the licences in these Terms;
• where a photo shows identifiable people, you have whatever consent the law requires to publish it, and the photo does not show private places in a way that violates someone’s privacy;
• the licence you select for a photo (all rights reserved, Creative Commons or for sale) is one you are entitled to grant;
• information about a viewpoint (location, access, difficulty, accessibility) is honest and based on your knowledge;
• your content does not break the law or these Terms.

You are responsible for your content. We are a hosting provider: we do not check content before it is published, except for a simple automated check that holds back uploads with certain words in the file name for manual review. Content therefore represents the opinion and knowledge of the person who published it, not ours.

5.5 Photo metadata

Photos may contain embedded metadata (EXIF), including the camera model and the exact location where the photo was taken. Remove metadata you do not want to share before uploading. Options shown in the upload form for watermarking or keeping metadata are currently not applied to uploaded files.

6. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service to:

• publish content that is illegal, including content that infringes copyright, trademarks or other people’s rights, is defamatory, incites violence or hatred, or sexually exploits minors;
• publish pornographic or gratuitously violent content, spam, advertising unrelated to viewpoints, or deliberately false or misleading information (for example, fake viewpoints, false locations or invented safety information);
• encourage dangerous, illegal or harmful behaviour — for example trespassing on private or closed land, entering restricted military or protected areas, or ignoring safety closures;
• publish other people’s personal data without a legal basis;
• manipulate ratings or reviews, including rating your own viewpoints through other accounts;
• access the Service by automated means (scraping, bulk downloading, bots) beyond normal browser use, bypass limits or security measures, or download photos in ways other than those offered in the Service;
• interfere with the Service, its infrastructure or other users, or use it to spread malware.

7. Tokens and photo downloads

7.1 No payments

The Service does not currently process any payments. You cannot buy tokens, and we do not charge you for anything. If we introduce paid features, we will publish the price and the additional terms (including information on your right of withdrawal) before you can buy anything.

7.2 What tokens are

Tokens are units within the Service that you can redeem to download full-resolution photos. During early access, tokens are granted by our administrators at their discretion, for example to early users. Tokens have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money, goods or services outside the Service, cannot be transferred to another account and are not refunded. A download currently costs 1 or 2 tokens depending on the photo’s resolution; the cost is shown before you confirm. Unused tokens expire when your account is closed. We may change the number of tokens needed for a download for future downloads or end the token scheme with reasonable notice; downloads you already made are not affected.

7.3 Contributors

Contributors currently receive no payment, royalty or tokens when their photos are downloaded. If we introduce paid licensing for contributors, it will be offered under separate terms that you will be able to accept or decline.

7.4 Download licence

When you redeem tokens for a photo, the photographer keeps all rights to it, and you receive the following licence:

• if the photo is marked with a Creative Commons licence, you may use it under that licence, with attribution to the photographer;
• in all other cases, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the photo for private, non-commercial purposes (for example as a wallpaper, in a private print or in a non-commercial personal project with credit to the photographer). Any commercial use, resale, redistribution as a stock image or use in a way that suggests endorsement requires the photographer’s separate permission.

Photos displayed in the Service may not be copied or reused outside the Service except as allowed by law (for example, permitted personal use or quotation) or by the photo’s licence.

8. Viewpoints, safety and information accuracy

Viewpoint information is provided by users. It may be incomplete, out of date or wrong. Weather forecasts come from the third-party service Open-Meteo and are estimates. Locations on the map may be imprecise.

• Visiting a viewpoint is at your own risk. Check local conditions, access rules, closures, weather warnings and your own abilities before you go, and follow signs and instructions of local authorities and landowners.
• Information about difficulty, access or accessibility is not a guarantee that a place is safe, open, legal to access or suitable for you, including for people with disabilities.
• The Service is not a navigation or emergency service. In an emergency in the EU, call 112.

9. Reporting illegal content and copyright infringement

9.1 How to report

Anyone can report content they consider illegal or in breach of these Terms by e-mail to mk@agileo.pl with “Content report” in the subject. To allow us to act, the report should include:

1. the exact link (URL) to the viewpoint, photo, review or profile concerned;
2. a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you consider the content illegal or in breach of these Terms; for copyright, identify the work and the rights you hold;
3. your name and e-mail address (not required if the report concerns child sexual abuse material);
4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the information and allegations in the report are accurate and complete.

We will confirm receipt without undue delay if you give us your e-mail address.

9.2 How we decide

We review reports in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner. Decisions are taken by a member of our team; we do not take moderation decisions by automated means only. We may remove content, restrict its visibility, suspend contributor status or suspend or close an account. We act proportionately, taking into account the seriousness of the breach and whether it was repeated.

We inform the person who reported the content about our decision. If we remove or restrict content, or suspend or close an account, we send the user concerned a statement of reasons explaining what we did, why (the law or term of these Terms concerned and the facts), whether the decision was based on a report, and how to appeal — unless the content is deceptive high-volume commercial spam or the law prevents us from informing them.

If we become aware of information giving rise to a suspicion that a criminal offence threatening someone’s life or safety has taken or is likely to take place, we inform the competent authorities.

9.3 Appeals

If you disagree with our decision — whether you reported the content or your content was affected — you can appeal by replying to our decision or by e-mail to mk@agileo.pl within six months of the decision. A person who did not take the original decision will review your appeal, and we will reverse the decision if it was not justified. You may also take the matter to court or, if you are a consumer, use the out-of-court options in section 13.

9.4 Misuse of reporting

We may stop processing reports from people who frequently submit manifestly unfounded reports, and suspend accounts that frequently publish manifestly illegal content, after a prior warning.

10. Availability and changes to the Service

The Service is in early access. We try to keep it available and working, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability. We may carry out maintenance, and we may add, change or remove features. If we plan to discontinue the Service entirely, we will give account holders at least 30 days’ notice by e-mail or in the Service, so that you can download your content.

11. Ending your account

• By you. You can stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account, e-mail us from the address linked to your account; we will delete it without undue delay and in any case within 30 days. Deleting the account deletes your profile, your photos, ratings, reviews, alerts, lists and contributor application, and the viewpoints you added together with all photos, ratings and reviews attached to them. Delete or download anything you want to keep beforehand.
• By us. We may suspend or close your account, or remove content, if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms or the law, or if required by law or an authority. Except where immediate action is needed (for example, for illegal content, security threats or spam), we will warn you first and give you an opportunity to respond. We may also close accounts with 30 days’ notice if we discontinue the Service.

Because the Service is free and you can end the contract at any time by deleting your account, you have at least the same freedom as under the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for consumers.

12. Liability

We provide the Service with reasonable care and skill. As a hosting provider, we are not liable for content published by users unless we had actual knowledge of its illegality and failed to act expeditiously after we were informed.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for: losses resulting from inaccurate user-provided information about viewpoints or from visiting a viewpoint (section 8); temporary unavailability of the Service; or losses that were not reasonably foreseeable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, nor does it limit your statutory rights as a consumer, including your rights if the Service as digital content or a digital service does not conform to the contract.

13. Complaints and consumer rights

If something does not work as described in these Terms, write to us at mk@agileo.pl describing the problem. We will respond within 14 days. Consumers have statutory rights regarding the conformity of digital services with the contract under the Polish Consumer Rights Act of 30 May 2014; these Terms do not limit them. The same rights apply to sole traders using the Service for a purpose not of a professional nature for them, to the extent provided by Polish law.

If you are a consumer, you can also use out-of-court dispute resolution, for example by contacting your local consumer ombudsman (miejski or powiatowy rzecznik konsumentów) or the mediation and consumer arbitration services of the Provincial Inspectorates of Trade Inspection (Wojewódzki Inspektorat Inspekcji Handlowej). Information on these options is available on the website of the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) at uokik.gov.pl. Consumers in other EU countries can get free help from the European Consumer Centres network (ECC-Net). Using these options is voluntary for both parties.

14. Governing law and courts

These Terms are governed by Polish law. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another country, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of that country. Disputes will be decided by the competent common courts; consumers may also bring proceedings before the courts of their place of residence as provided by law.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms for valid reasons, such as changes in the law, decisions of authorities, changes to the Service’s features, security reasons or to prevent abuse. We will inform account holders of changes by e-mail or in the Service at least 14 days before they take effect; you can delete your account before then if you do not accept them. Changes needed immediately for legal or security reasons may take effect sooner. The version in force applies from its effective date; previous versions are available on request.

16. Final provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force. These Terms are written in English. These Terms take effect on 3 October 2026.
