These terms explain the rules for using LumoSpot. By using the app, you agree to them.
LumoSpot helps you find outdoor seating that is currently or will soon be in the sun. It is provided free of charge and may change or be discontinued at any time.
Signing in with Google is optional and lets you save favorite venues. You are responsible for keeping your Google account secure. You can delete your LumoSpot account at any time from the account menu.
Please don't misuse the app. This includes submitting false venue reports, attempting to disrupt or overload the service, or trying to access another person's account.
Sun exposure, weather, and opening hours are calculated and estimated automatically and may sometimes be wrong or out of date. A venue might have closed, changed its hours, or be partially shaded in a way our calculations didn't account for. Always check conditions for yourself before heading out.
LumoSpot uses several third party services to work, including Google for signing in and maps links, and weather and building data providers. These services have their own terms and are outside our control.
A sun report covers one spot you pick on the map: a full year of sun and shade there, the sunlight it receives and what solar panels could make of it. Sun reports are in early access: every account can make one full report for free. A report beyond that uses a report credit, if you have one. If a report can't be made, it doesn't count and what it used is given back. Deleting a report you made doesn't give back the free report or the credit it used. Anyone you send its link to can open it.
How a report is calculated, and what it leaves out:
A report is an estimate to help you compare and decide, not a guarantee or a professional survey. Before a decision that depends on it, such as buying a home or installing panels, check the spot for yourself or ask a specialist.
When you upload a photo of a venue, you confirm that you took it yourself and that anyone recognisable in it is happy for it to be shared. You keep the copyright. You give LumoSpot a free, non-exclusive, worldwide permission to show the photo on the LumoSpot website and app, and to resize or crop it for that, for as long as it stays on LumoSpot. Photos must be approved before they appear, and we may decline or remove any photo at any time without giving a reason. To have a photo of yours removed, use the contact form - deleting your account removes all of your photos.
The LumoSpot name, logo, and design belong to us. Please don't copy or reuse them without permission.
LumoSpot is provided as is, without any warranty that it will be accurate, uninterrupted, or error free. To the extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the app or reliance on its information.
We may update these terms or the app itself from time to time. Continuing to use LumoSpot after a change means you accept the updated terms.
You can stop using LumoSpot or delete your account at any time. We may also suspend or remove an account that violates these terms.
