Terms of Use and Map Rights

1. The service

THS2 provides a website, API, and mobile application for storing, preparing, viewing, and securely downloading offline maps. The service operator is Azat Maratovich Akhmetshin, Ufa, Russian Federation; contact: akhmetshin.azat@gmail.com.

By creating an account or using protected features, you accept these terms.

2. Accounts and acceptable use

• You must provide a valid email and protect passwords and access tokens.
• Bypassing limits, bulk automated catalog extraction, attacks, malicious files, and use of another person's account are prohibited.
• Size, quota, job, and request-rate limits may be enforced for stability and security.
• Maps must not be the sole source for safety-critical navigation, rescue, cadastral, or other decisions requiring guaranteed accuracy.

3. User maps

By uploading a map, you represent that you created it, obtained the required rights, or otherwise have a lawful basis to use it. You retain your rights and grant THS2 only the limited permission needed to store, technically process, preview, and deliver the file through selected service functions.

Store publication requires rights covering the source image, georeferencing, tile database, metadata, and other protected elements. The operator may request evidence, hide a product, or remove access following a substantiated complaint.

4. Store materials

A product page describes a digital file and its technical preparation, including validation, georeferencing, PMTiles conversion, metadata, preview, and THS2 compatibility. It does not transfer exclusive rights in a source map or third-party materials.

Public-domain works may be used within applicable law while respecting authorship, the author's name, and the integrity of the work. Other materials remain subject to the terms stated on the product page and by the source.

Payments are not currently available. Until payment functionality and separate sale terms are published, these terms are not a public offer to sell paid digital goods.

5. etomesto.com maps

Maps prepared from publicly available etomesto.com materials are always provided free of charge in THS2. Their description or preview includes an active “Georeferencing: etomesto.com” link, and known source-map authors are retained in metadata.

THS2 does not accept or publish non-public etomesto.com maps distributed for payment or activity points. Use is subject to the etomesto.com material rules. PMTiles conversion does not remove the rights of the georeferencing author or source-work authors.

6. Coverage, quality, and availability

Coverage, year, scale, and related metadata may be approximate. Useful coverage can be smaller due to blank sheet margins, missing tiles, or edge tiles. Historical maps may contain errors, obsolete names, and inaccuracies.

The service is provided subject to technical availability. Keep independent backups of your own files.

7. Rights complaints

A rights holder or authorized representative may submit a complaint through a product page with contact details, a description of the right, and supporting information. Material may be hidden during review. Knowingly false complaints are prohibited.

8. Restriction and termination

Features or accounts may be restricted for violations of law, these terms, third-party rights, or service security. Where practical, the user is notified and given an opportunity to remedy the issue. Users may delete their maps and request account deletion by email.

9. Governing law and changes

Russian law applies. Please first send disputes to akhmetshin.azat@gmail.com. The current version is published at this address and its date is updated for material changes.
