Acceptance
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of LightGPX, the iOS and macOS apps and any related services (together, "the Service"), operated by Valentino Zegna ("we", "us"). By creating an account, installing the app, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
License to use
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, for your personal or internal business use, subject to these Terms.
You may not redistribute the app, reverse engineer it except where expressly permitted by law, strip attribution, or use it to build a competing product.
Your account
A LightGPX account is required. You sign in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for protecting access to whichever identity provider you use. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account; if local law sets a higher digital-consent age, that age applies.
One human, one account. You may use that account on every device you own.
Pricing
LightGPX is currently in a private beta. The waitlist is free, and so is the beta itself.
We have not finalised pricing for general release. When we do, the in-app screen you see before paying will tell you the price and what you get. You will never be charged a recurring fee without explicit consent.
Acceptable use
Do not use the Service to:
- Track another person without their consent. The app is built to record the location of the device holding it.
- Upload content that is not yours or that you do not have the right to upload.
- Attempt to break into another user's account or our infrastructure.
- Probe, scan, or stress-test the Service beyond normal use.
- Resell access to your account.
- Use the Service to violate any law.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that do any of the above.
Location and safety
LightGPX is not a navigation, safety, or emergency tool. It records where you have been, so your photos can be geotagged afterwards. It does not provide routing, hazard warnings, rescue signalling, or any safety guarantee.
In the backcountry, carry a dedicated GPS, a satellite messenger, a paper map, and the judgement to use them. Do not rely on this app, or any phone app, for survival.
GPS accuracy varies by hardware, environment, and sky visibility. Recorded points may be wrong by meters, or in bad conditions much more. Treat the track as an approximation of where you were, not a legal record.
Your content, our app
Your trips are yours. By syncing to your private account, you grant us a limited license to store, transmit, and process your data solely to provide the Service to you. We do not use your location data to train models, build recommendations, or create any product other than the one you signed up for.
Your photos never leave your device through the app. Geotagging happens on your Mac. We do not receive the images.
Our intellectual property
The app, the "LightGPX" name, the pin-and-lens mark, the source code, the website, and the copy are ours. You may reference the product in reviews, blog posts, videos, and social posts. That is encouraged. You may not use the name or mark in a way that implies endorsement, affiliation, or partnership without written permission.
Availability
We aim for the Service to be continuously available. It will not always be. Outages, network issues, operating-system bugs, and cosmic rays will cause interruptions. Your device keeps recording when our servers are unreachable, and catches up the next time it can reach them.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable notice. If we shut down the cloud sync entirely, we will give at least 90 days' notice and a clear path to export your data.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, we disclaim all such warranties.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every attack, or that your data will never be lost. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of anything that matters. The app's GPX export covers this.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or lost photographs, whether in contract, tort, or any other theory. Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 50, whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those places, this section applies only to the extent permitted.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim brought by a third party arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of another person.
Termination
You can stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account from inside the app; see the Privacy Policy for what that does.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if continued operation of the Service for you exposes other users or us to undue risk. We will attempt to give notice where we can.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes not otherwise resolved will be brought in the competent state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California. This clause does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer-protection rights under the law of your own country of residence.
Changes
We may update these Terms. If we change anything that reduces your rights or expands ours, we will update the effective date and, where we have your email, notify you. Continued use after a change means you accept the new version. If you do not, delete your account and stop using the Service.
