Pafta

Terms of Use

End User License Agreement · Effective October 31, 2026

Applies to Pafta on iPhone and on Android.

1. About these terms

These Terms of Use (“terms”) are an agreement between you and Nurcihan Fakioglu (“we”, “us”), the developer of Pafta (“the app”). They are the end user license agreement (EULA) for the app on iPhone and Android. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms.

By downloading, installing or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app. How the app handles information is described in the Privacy Policy.

2. License

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own personal or professional use, in line with these terms and the usage rules of the store you got the app from. The app is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

The app includes open-source components, which are licensed under their own terms (listed in Settings → Open-source licences). Nothing in these terms limits your rights under those licenses.

3. Free features and PRO

• Free features. The app can be used for free with the features and limits shown in it.
• PRO. PRO unlocks the features marked PRO in the app. It's available as a weekly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or as a lifetime in-app purchase. The price and billing period are shown in the store before you buy, including any taxes that apply in your country.
• Subscriptions. Weekly and annual plans renew automatically at the end of each period and your store account is charged for the next period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings; deleting the app doesn't cancel it. After you cancel, PRO stays active until the end of the paid period.
• Payment. Payment is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their terms. We never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to verify and restore your purchase.
• Restoring. To use PRO on another device or after reinstalling, sign in with the same store account and tap Restore purchases in Settings.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies; we can't issue refunds ourselves. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
• Changes to features. We may improve, change or add features, both free and PRO. Some features depend on third-party services; if such a service changes its terms or becomes unavailable, we may have to change or remove the feature that depends on it.

4. Safety and limits of the app

Pafta is a navigation aid. It doesn't replace your own judgment, training, a paper map, a compass or official information. You are responsible for planning your trip and for your own safety and the safety of others.

• Position. GPS accuracy depends on your device, the sky view, terrain, buildings, weather and other conditions. The position shown can be off by tens of meters or more, or be unavailable.
• Maps. Maps come from third-party and community sources such as OpenStreetMap. They can be outdated, incomplete or wrong. A path, road or crossing shown on the map may not exist, may be closed or may not be legal or safe to use.
• Elevation. Elevation data is a surface model (it includes tree canopy and buildings) and can differ from the actual ground height. Slopes, ascent figures and profiles are estimates.
• Weather and sun times. Forecasts can be wrong, and conditions in the mountains can change quickly. Sun and moon times are calculated and may differ from local conditions.
• Alerts and recording. Off-route, arrival and sunset alerts, and track recording, depend on your device's battery, settings and operating system. They can be delayed, missed or stopped, for example by battery saving or when a permission is turned off.
• Coordinates and printed maps. Check coordinates before you rely on them in critical situations, and make sure the coordinate system and datum match the one used by others. The scale of a printed map depends on your printer settings; print at actual size and check the scale bar.
• SOS. The SOS screen doesn't contact emergency services or anyone else by itself. It prepares a message that you send yourself, and delivery depends on your phone, its mobile network and the messaging app you use. Where possible, call your local emergency number.
• Not for every use. The app isn't designed or certified for aviation or marine navigation, for military or other professional use that requires certified equipment, or as the only means of navigation where an error could cause injury, death or damage.
• Laws and access. Follow local laws, signs and closures, and respect restricted and military areas and private property. Showing a place on a map doesn't mean you may enter it.

5. Your content

• The waypoints, tracks, routes, areas, notes, photos, videos and voice notes you create in the app belong to you. They are stored on your device; we don't have access to them and can't recover them if they're lost.
• You are responsible for backing up or exporting what matters to you. Uninstalling the app deletes its data from your device.
• You may only import files and map files you have the right to use, and you are responsible for content you import, export or share.

6. Map data and third-party services

• Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL), and the other providers credited on the map and in Settings → Data sources. Third-party data and services remain the property of their owners and are subject to their own terms.
• Elevation data is produced using Copernicus WorldDEM-30 © DLR e.V. 2010–2014 and © Airbus Defence and Space GmbH 2014–2018 provided under COPERNICUS by the European Union and ESA; all rights reserved. The organisations in charge of the Copernicus programme by law or by delegation do not incur any liability for any use of the Copernicus WorldDEM-30.
• Map, elevation and weather services are provided by third parties. We don't control them and can't guarantee that they're accurate, complete or available. Downloads of offline maps follow the limits set by each provider, and the app enforces them.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent or sublicense the app, except as allowed by these terms or by open-source licenses that apply to its components;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent the law expressly allows it despite this restriction;
• get around the PRO purchase, its limits or the app's security features;
• use the app to bulk-download or scrape map, elevation or weather data, or otherwise overload or misuse third-party services;
• use the app in a way that breaks the law, including export control and sanctions laws, or that harms others.

8. Updates and availability

We may release updates that fix errors, add or change features, or are needed for new operating system versions. Some features may only work with the latest version. We don't guarantee that the app or the online services it uses will always be available or free of errors, and we may stop offering the app at any time. Content already stored on your device stays there, but may not keep working with future operating systems.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the app and all data and information in it are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the app will meet your needs or work without interruption or errors. This doesn't affect rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be excluded by agreement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, injury, damage or other loss that results from relying on positions, maps, elevation, weather, alerts or other information in the app, or from being unable to use the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for the app and for PRO.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that can't be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or under mandatory product liability or consumer protection laws.

11. Termination

These terms apply until they're ended by you or us. You can end them at any time by deleting the app. Your license ends automatically if you break these terms; you must then stop using the app and delete it. Sections 4, 5, 6 and 9 to 15 continue to apply after the license ends.

12. Additional terms for the App Store

If you got the app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

1. Acknowledgement. These terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
2. Scope of license. Your license is limited to using the app on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
3. Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the app.
4. Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they're not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility.
5. Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
6. Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. Developer name and address. Questions, complaints or claims about the app should be sent to the contact details in section 16.
9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app, such as your mobile data service agreement.
10. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. Once you accept these terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

13. Additional terms for Google Play

If you got the app from Google Play, the following also applies:

• These terms are between you and us only, not with Google. Google is not responsible for the app or its content.
• Your download and purchases are also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Refunds for PRO are handled under Google Play's refund policies.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. We'll post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll let you know in the app where possible. If you keep using the app after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms; if you don't agree, stop using the app and delete it.

15. General

• These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the app.
• If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• If we don't enforce a part of these terms, that doesn't mean we give up the right to enforce it later.
• You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours if the app is transferred to a new owner, who must continue to honor them.
• Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of the country where you live.
