Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Poster Armory ("the Service"), operated at posterarmory.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Poster Armory is a web-based platform that allows users to create custom map art posters. Users select a geographic location, customize the design (theme, title, subtitle, date line, size, layout, labels, map layers, framing, markers, and optional route data), generate previews, download high-resolution print-ready files, and order physical poster prints shipped to a delivery address.

Map data used in poster generation is sourced from OpenStreetMap and is subject to the OpenStreetMap license.

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account using a valid email address or by signing in through Google. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information.
• Maintain the security of your account credentials.
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use.

You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account and use the Service.

4. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Billing

4.1 Plans and Pricing

Designing and previewing posters is free. High-resolution downloads require a membership billed monthly or annually. Physical prints are sold separately and priced per order at checkout. Current pricing is listed on our Pricing page. Prices are in US dollars unless otherwise shown and may change with notice.

4.2 Payment Processing

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your full credit card or payment details on our servers. By purchasing a download, placing a print order, or subscribing, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.

4.3 Recurring Billing

Memberships are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis, depending on the interval you choose. Your membership will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. The high-resolution download allowance resets each billing month, including for annual memberships.

4.4 One-Time Downloads

One-time download credits are no longer sold. Unused credits from earlier purchases are retired and are not redeemable for cash. Files you already downloaded remain available in your library.

4.5 Cancellation

You may cancel your membership at any time from your Billing page. Upon cancellation, you keep your remaining downloads until the end of the current billing period. Designing stays free afterwards. No prorated refunds are issued for partial periods.

4.6 Billing Interval Changes

You may switch between monthly and annual billing from the Billing page. The new interval takes effect according to Stripe's checkout and proration rules for the session you complete.

5. Physical Poster Orders

Physical poster orders are printed and fulfilled by third-party production partners, including Gelato. When you place a physical order, we collect the design configuration, selected size, quantity, delivery address, contact details, and payment confirmation needed to produce and ship your poster.

Shipping prices and estimated delivery windows are calculated during checkout based on the delivery destination and available fulfillment options. Delivery estimates are not guarantees. Delays may occur because of printing, carrier issues, customs, incomplete addresses, weather, or other events outside our control.

Please review your poster design, size, quantity, and shipping address carefully before paying. Custom printed products are made to order. Once a print order has entered production, it may not be possible to cancel or change the order. If a print arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from the confirmed order, contact us promptly with your order details and photos so we can review the issue with our fulfillment partner.

6. Usage Limits and Fair Use

Anyone may design and preview posters for free. A membership includes 20 high-resolution downloads per billing month, as shown on the Pricing page and in your Billing page. The allowance resets according to the Stripe billing period, not a calendar-month approximation. Previews, failed renders, and re-downloading a file that already generated do not consume the allowance. Physical print orders are charged separately and never use a download.

Automated, scripted, abusive, or unusually high-volume generation that exceeds reasonable use may result in rate limiting, delayed processing, or account suspension.

7. Intellectual Property and Usage Rights

7.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of text, route files, marker labels, and other content you provide to the Service. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use any content you submit. You grant Poster Armory the limited rights needed to process, render, store, display, print, and fulfill your poster designs.

7.2 Download and Print Rights

Membership downloads and physical prints include personal and commercial use of the generated poster files, subject to these Terms and any third-party map-data attribution requirements. Commercial use does not include reselling the Service itself, redistributing our software, or implying that Poster Armory endorses your work.

7.3 Map Data

The underlying map data is sourced from OpenStreetMap and is available under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL). When printing, redistributing, or selling posters, you are responsible for providing appropriate attribution to OpenStreetMap contributors where required.

7.4 Our Service

9. Availability and Modifications

We strive to keep the Service available and reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time with reasonable notice. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance when possible.

10. Termination

12. Limitation of Liability
