Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

Overview

Welcome to WaypointNomad ("we," "our," or "us"), a community map app that helps digital nomads find the best places to work and stay. By downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

These Terms apply in addition to Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA), available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. In the event of any conflict, these Terms control with respect to your use of WaypointNomad.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use WaypointNomad, and at least 18 years old to host or join meetups.

Your account

You don't need to provide personal details to use WaypointNomad. Your nomad name is generated for you, and you can change it in the app. It is visible to other users on your Waypoints, comments, meetups and meetup chat messages. Don't choose a name that impersonates someone or is offensive. You are responsible for any activity that occurs under your account.

User content

WaypointNomad lets you post Waypoints, photos, comments, meetups and meetup chat messages ("User Content"). Waypoints, photos, comments and meetups are visible to other users; meetup chat messages are visible to the host and the people going.

You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting it in the app, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, host, and distribute it within the app.

You agree your User Content will:

You agree your User Content will not:

Reporting and removal: You can report a Waypoint, meetup or message that violates these Terms, and block any user, from within the app. We review reports and remove content that violates these Terms within 24 hours. We may also remove content at our discretion without notice, and we may remove users who repeatedly violate these Terms.

When you delete a Waypoint, its photos are deleted as well.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Meetups and chat

Users can post Meetup Waypoints and chat with the people going. Meetups are organized by users, not by WaypointNomad. We do not screen users, verify identities, or supervise meetups, and we are not responsible for the conduct of any user online or in person.

If you meet other users in person, you do so at your own risk. Meet in public places, tell someone where you are going, and use your own judgment about your safety.

Meetup chats are visible only to the host and the people going. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, spam, or unwanted contact. You can report a meetup or a message, and block any user, from within the app. We review reports within 24 hours and may remove content or accounts that break these terms.

Meetups are removed from the map a few hours after they start.

Subscriptions

WaypointNomad offers optional subscriptions ("WaypointNomad Pro") in weekly, monthly, and yearly durations.

Billing: Payments are charged to your Apple ID upon purchase.

Free trial: A free trial may be offered with some plans. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to paid.

Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID will be charged within 24 hours of the period ending.

Cancellation: Cancel anytime through your Apple ID subscription settings: Settings > [Your Apple ID] > Subscriptions > WaypointNomad.

Refunds: Refunds are handled by Apple. Request refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Price changes: Any subscription price change will take effect at your next renewal.

Intellectual property

The WaypointNomad app, including its name, logo, design, and software, is our property and is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works without permission.

Accuracy of content

Waypoints, comments, and other information in the app are submitted by users and are not verified by us. You acknowledge that information in the app may be inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, and you use it at your own risk.

Third-party services

WaypointNomad uses Apple App Store, Google Firebase, Cloudinary, Netlify, RevenueCat, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, and Expo. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

Bookings: Stays and transport are booked with our partners (Agoda through Stay22, and 12Go). We may earn a commission when you book. Your booking is a contract between you and the partner or provider, and their terms, prices, cancellation and refund policies apply. We are not responsible for bookings made through partners.

Disclaimers

The app is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the app. Our total liability will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including violation of these Terms. You may stop using the app at any time.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
