Terms of Use

1. Conclusion of contract

These Terms of Use apply for all orders that you place on Printmaps.net. Printmaps.net is an online shop for digital cartography. The cartographic offerings on Printmaps.net represent a binding offer. Indicating payment details and clicking the order button you are accepting the offer for conclusion of a sales contract.

Immediately after placing your order you get an order confirmation email to the address you supplied with an attached PDF invoice with a VAT statement. (This point is not applicable for flat fee customers or web resolution customers.) Several minutes later you will receive a second email containing download links to the products you ordered.

Please make sure that you have appropriate software to open the compressed ZIP files, as well as the graphics therein. The download links are available for at least 7 days after purchase for single or multiple download.

2. Cartographic quality

We have no direct influence on the cartographic data sources and take no responsibility for the currentness or correctness of the data. You have the possibility to examine the product prior to purchase in a preview version.

3. Copyrights

You get the non-exclusive right to use the maps you purchase, up to the print circulation that corresponds to the price category you chose. You also have the option to choose a price category allowing unlimited print circulation.

Subsequent adaptations of purchased maps are allowed, as is the usage of downsized versions on your website. Transfer of usage rights to third parties is allowed. Resale or sub-licensing of maps is excluded.

The copyright notice “© Printmaps.net / OSM Contributors” has to be displayed legibly and in proximity to the map. In case of online usage you have to use hypertext in the following way: “© Printmaps.net / OSM Contributors” (Links pointing to https://www.printmaps.net/ and https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright).

For purposes of presentation such as in digital slides (Powerpoint or similar) you need to purchase a licence that best matches your audience size.

For use in other electronic media (for example TV, DVD or video) you need to purchase an “Unlimited” licence. Credits have to be legibly displayed within the end titles (or in a similar manner).

4. Support

Should any problems appear during the purchase process and should you not receive the invoice and/or the download links to the products you ordered within maximum 20 minutes after your order, please contact us under [email protected]. We will (on work days from 9 am to 5 pm CET) try to solve the problem. In case of a purchase process not being completed within our responsibility, the purchase price will be refunded promptly and completely.

5. Money back guarantee

We grant a 30-day money-back guarantee on any map purchased on Printmaps.net. Just get in touch with us at [email protected] stating the order number and the reason of your dissatisfaction and we will fully refund your purchase. (Please note that you are not allowed to use digital map files of refunded purchases in any way.)

6. Right of revocation

Printmaps.net is an offer exclusively to businesses, therefor no right of revocation is to be granted. In the event that the customer is a consumer within the meaning of Austrian law, those provisions of these terms of use that violate mandatory provisions of Austrian consumer protection law shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

Furthermore Printmaps.net offers only individualised digital products that are not fit for product return.

7. WordPress Plugin

We offer the free WordPress plugin Static Map Editor. If you continue to use this plugin you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions of use.

The Static Map Editor Plugin itself is licensed under the GNU General Public License (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). While the PHP that makes up the plugin code is covered by this license, the images, logotypes and external services used therein are proprietary, and protected under current copyright law.

You may not claim intellectual or exclusive ownership rights to any of our products. All products are property of Toursprung GmbH. They are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. We shall not be liable for any damages, including but not limited to, direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages or losses that occur out of the use or inability to use our products.

All PHP, CSS, and JavaScript files, brand imagery and images used are licensed under a proprietary license for our personal use and cannot be redistributed without express written consent from Toursprung GmbH.

You may not remove or obfuscate the copyright credits and/or links to OpenStreetMap and Printmaps.net.

This license does not grant permission to modify or redistribute our proprietary map editor outside the Static Maps Editor plugin in any manner, digital, or otherwise.

In short, you may use the plugin as-is, to create static map images and display them on your website. You are not, under any circumstances, and by no means permitted to embed, display, or distribute our editor in any other method or manner.
