Audiolore Terms of Use
Effective date: November 3, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Sidewalk Oracle LLC, a Georgia, USA limited liability company ("we", "us"), covering your use of the Audiolore app and its content (the "App"). Please read them carefully. Section 13 contains a binding individual arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affects your legal rights.
1. Acceptance
By downloading, opening, or using the App, or by tapping "I Agree," you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App. You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, or use the App with the permission and supervision of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
2. Safety and assumption of risk
The App is a self-guided audio tour of public places. Walking through a city involves real risks, including traffic, uneven surfaces, crowds, weather, crime, and other hazards that we do not control. You agree that:
- You will stay aware of traffic and your surroundings at all times.
- You will not look at or operate your phone while walking. You will stop in a safe place first.
- You will only view the screen while standing still in a safe place or while riding as a passenger.
- You are responsible for deciding whether a route, location, or activity is safe for you, given your health, abilities, and the conditions at the time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you voluntarily assume all risks of injury, illness, loss, or damage arising from your use of the App and from visiting any location it describes.
3. Never use while driving or cycling
Never use, look at, or interact with the App while driving a vehicle, riding a bicycle, scooter, or similar, or operating any machinery. "Ride" features are intended only for passengers. Obey all laws on mobile phone use.
4. Your conduct, property, and traffic rules
You are solely responsible for your own conduct and for obeying traffic laws, signals, and posted rules. A map marker, route, GPS location, or story in the App is not permission to enter any place. Do not enter private property or closed or restricted areas, and respect the rights of owners, residents, and other visitors. Directions and routes may be inaccurate or unsafe; always use your own judgment.
5. Informational content; no warranty of accuracy
Narration, text, images, dates, and history in the App are for general information and entertainment only. They may contain errors, omissions, simplifications, or outdated information, and historical accounts may be disputed. Do not rely on the App for navigation, safety, legal, or other professional decisions.
6. Third-party locations
Locations featured in the App are owned and operated by third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for their opening hours, fees, access, closures, conditions, events, or the conduct of anyone there. Check with the location before you visit.
7. Disclaimer of warranties ("as is")
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. GPS, location, and audio features may be inaccurate or unavailable.
8. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIDEWALK ORACLE LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR LOSS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP OR VISITS TO ANY LOCATION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP AND IN-APP PURCHASES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $5. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so some of these limits may not apply to you.
9. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sidewalk Oracle LLC and its members, managers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your conduct, your entry onto any property, or your breach of these Terms or any law.
10. Apple App Store terms
These Terms are between you and Sidewalk Oracle LLC only, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Your use of the App is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement and the App Store Terms of Service; where these Terms conflict with Apple's usage rules, Apple's rules govern. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content. We grant you a limited, non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store usage rules. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or similar claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting," and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, once you accept them, Apple may enforce them against you.
11. In-app purchases
Purchases are processed by Apple. All purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by law or as provided under Apple's refund policy; refund requests must be made to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. You can restore a non-consumable purchase in the App's Settings.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 13, any court proceedings will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Georgia.
13. Binding individual arbitration and class action waiver
You and we agree to resolve any dispute relating to the App or these Terms through final, binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. Before starting arbitration, you agree to contact us at support@sidewalkoracle.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days.
Class action waiver: Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims.
Small claims: Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.
30-day opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@sidewalkoracle.com with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your name within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
If the class action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim must proceed in court and not in arbitration.
14. UK and EU consumers
If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or European Union, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes your statutory rights, or our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law. Sections 12 and 13 do not deprive you of the protection of mandatory laws of your country of residence or your right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
15. Severability
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in effect.
16. Changes
We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the effective date above and may ask you to accept the new Terms in the App. Continued use after the update means you accept the revised Terms.
