Terms & Conditions

1 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using PinPint ("the App"), whether the website at pinpint.io or the PinPint apps for iPhone and Android, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

These terms apply to all users, including visitors, registered users, and contributors of pub suggestions. Section 10 sets out additional terms that apply when you use the mobile apps.

2 Age Restriction

PinPint is strictly for users aged 18 years or older. By creating an account you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to suspend or delete any account we reasonably believe belongs to a minor.

PinPint does not encourage excessive alcohol consumption. The App is a discovery and social tool. Please drink responsibly.

3 Your Account

• You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure
• You must provide accurate information when registering
• One account per person: creating multiple accounts is not permitted
• You may delete your account at any time
• We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms

4 User-Generated Content

When you add ratings, notes or suggestions, you grant PinPint a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display and use that content in the App.

When you log a drink price, you grant PinPint a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use, copy, publish, combine with other prices, and license to others, including for money, the price, the drink, the pub and the date. Your name, your account and anything else that identifies you are never part of what is published or licensed. Section 5A says more.

You agree not to submit content that is:

• False, misleading or defamatory
• Offensive, abusive or discriminatory
• In violation of any third party's rights
• Spam or commercially motivated

We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these guidelines.

Reporting and blocking

Every piece of content another person can put in front of you can be reported, and every person can be blocked.

• To report a message, a passport, an event or a photo: press and hold it, or use the “⋯” button beside it, and choose Report. On a public passport the link is at the bottom of the page; on an event it is at the bottom of the event.
• To block someone: the same menu. Blocking is mutual, you will not see them anywhere on PinPint and they will not see you, including on a crawl you are both on. They are not told, and you can unblock from the same menu. In the app you can also see and undo every block under Settings, Blocked accounts.

We review every report within 24 hours and remove content or suspend accounts where these guidelines have been broken. If something needs attention faster than that, email danielhowley@outlook.ie and mark it “URGENT, Safety”.

Child sexual abuse and exploitation is never tolerated here. What that covers, and what we do about it, is in our child safety standards.

5 Pub Information

PinPint provides pub locations, opening hours and pricing as a convenience. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all information is current or correct. Always verify opening hours and details directly with the venue before visiting.

5A Prices and the PinPint price database

The prices people log in PinPint, taken together, are the PinPint price database. PinPint publishes figures from it, such as the average price of a pint in a town, and may license the figures, and the prices under them, to others: for example to newspapers, tourism bodies, researchers and the drinks trade.

What is published or licensed is the price, the drink, the pub, the date, and whether it came from a drinker or from the pub itself. Never who logged it.

If you delete your account, your prices are kept with nothing linking them to you, so that the figures they are part of do not change. Prices already included in a figure or a file that was published or licensed before you deleted your account cannot be recalled from it.

A pub that sends us its prices through the pub price form grants the same licence over those prices.

5B Pub information from OpenStreetMap

Most of the pub names, addresses and positions in PinPint are from OpenStreetMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors, and available under the Open Database Licence. OpenStreetMap is credited wherever that information is shown. The prices are not from OpenStreetMap and are not covered by that licence.

6 Gender Information

PinPint asks for gender at signup. Answering is optional, and "Prefer not to say" is the default. Where it is provided, it is used only for aggregate insight into who uses PinPint. This data:

• Is never attributed to any individual
• Is never displayed to other users
• Is never sold or shared with third parties
• Can be removed at any time by contacting us, or by deleting your account

7 Pub Crawl Feature

The pub crawl routing feature is provided for entertainment and planning purposes only. PinPint is not responsible for:

• The accuracy of routing directions
• Any incidents that occur during a pub crawl
• Users' decisions regarding alcohol consumption

Always ensure you and your group have safe transport arrangements. Never drink and drive.

8 Intellectual Property

The PinPint name, logo, design and codebase are the intellectual property of PinPint. You may not reproduce, distribute or create derivative works without our written permission.

The PinPint price database, and the figures made from it, belong to PinPint.

The PinPint™ trademark is asserted. All rights reserved.

9 Limitation of Liability

PinPint is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, we are not liable for:

• Any loss or damage arising from use of the App
• Inaccurate pub information
• Service interruptions or downtime
• Loss of user data

10 The Mobile Apps

PinPint is available as an app for iPhone on the Apple App Store and for Android on Google Play. These Terms cover your use of those apps as well as the website. Your use of an app is also subject to the terms of the store you got it from (Apple's Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, or the Google Play Terms of Service). Where those store terms conflict with these Terms in respect of an app, the store terms prevail to the extent of the conflict.

Apple App Store

The following apply to the iPhone app:

• These Terms are between you and PinPint only, not Apple. PinPint, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any 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. The app is free of charge, so no refund arises. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• PinPint, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar law.
• PinPint, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to the iPhone app, and Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as such.
• For any question, complaint or claim about the app, contact PinPint at danielhowley@outlook.ie.

Google Play

Your use of the Android app is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app.

Device permissions

Some features of the app need permissions you grant on your device, in particular your location and, if you choose, notifications. You can grant or withdraw these at any time in your device settings. If you withdraw a permission, the features that depend on it will not work. The app uses your location only while it is open.

Updates

The app may receive automatic updates that fix problems or make small changes. Larger changes are delivered as a new version through the app store. We do not guarantee that the app will run on every device or operating system version, or that older versions of the app will keep working.

11 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

12 Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes. Continued use of PinPint after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
