Terms of service
Last updated: October 29, 2026
Overview
This website is operated by MAPVIE. Throughout the site, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to MAPVIE. MAPVIE offers this website, including all information, tools, and Services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.
By visiting our site, using our map editor and/or purchasing something from us, you engage in our "Service" and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms of Service" or "Terms"), including any additional terms, conditions, and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. These Terms apply to all users of the site, including browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and contributors of content.
Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our website. By accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions, you may not access the website or use the Services. If these Terms are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms.
Any new features or tools added to the store are also subject to the Terms. You can review the most current version of the Terms at any time on this page. We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and/or changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Continued use of or access to the website following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Our store is hosted on Shopify, which provides the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and Services to you. Our map editor is hosted separately at studio.mapvie.com and forms part of the same Service.
Section 1: Online store terms
By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you have given us consent to allow your minor dependents to use this site.
You may not use our products for illegal or unauthorized purposes or violate any laws in your jurisdiction while using the Service (including but not limited to copyright laws). You must not transmit any worms, viruses, or destructive code. A breach or violation of any Terms will result in immediate termination of Services.
Section 2: General conditions
We reserve the right to refuse Service to anyone for any reason at any time.
You understand that your content (excluding credit card information) may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks and (b) changes to conform to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any part of the Service without express written permission.
Section 3: The map editor and your design
Our map editor allows you to choose a location, adjust the map, and add your own text, dates, names and icons to a poster.
You are responsible for the content you add to your design. You agree not to submit text that is unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, or that infringes the rights of any third party. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order whose content, in our reasonable judgment, breaches this section, and to refund it in full.
The preview shown in the map editor represents your artwork as it will be produced. Please review it carefully before ordering; see our Return, Cancellation & Refund Policy for how cancellations work.
Map data. The maps are generated from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, made available under the Open Database License. Place names, street layouts and other map details come from that data and may occasionally be incomplete, out of date or inaccurate. We do not warrant that any map is suitable for navigation or for any purpose other than decoration.
On country and world posters, borders, coastlines and place names also come from geoBoundaries (CC BY 4.0), Natural Earth and GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). On star maps, the stars come from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue, the constellation figures from the IAU and Sky & Telescope by way of d3-celestial, and the Milky Way is derived from a panorama by ESO/S. Brunier (CC BY 4.0). A star map is calculated for the place and time you enter; it is a decorative piece, not an astronomical instrument.
Design ownership. You keep the rights to the text and personal content you add. The artwork we produce from your design is supplied for your own personal, non-commercial use. Digital files may not be resold, redistributed, sub-licensed or used commercially, and may be printed by you for your own use only. We retain all rights in the map editor itself, in our layouts, styles, icons, templates and in the MAPVIE brand.
Section 4: Accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of information
We are not responsible if information on this site is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. The material is provided for general information only and should not be solely relied upon for decisions.
Section 5: Modifications to the Service and prices
Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service or any content thereof without notice.
Prices are displayed in your local currency where available. Currency conversion is performed automatically and rates may change.
In the European Union and the United Kingdom, the price shown is the final price: it already includes any VAT that applies in your country. VAT is charged for the country of the address you give at checkout, so if that address is in a different country from the one you are browsing from, the checkout shows that country’s price before you pay.
Section 6: Products or Services
Products may be available exclusively online and in limited quantities. Descriptions and pricing are subject to change without notice.
We do not guarantee that product colors and images will be accurately displayed on all devices. Screens differ in calibration, brightness and color range, and printed ink on paper or canvas cannot reproduce a backlit screen exactly. Minor differences between the preview and the printed artwork are normal and are not considered a fault.
Physical products are available for delivery to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia only. Framed prints are not available for delivery to Canada. Printable digital files are available worldwide. Please refer to our Shipping Policy and our Return, Cancellation & Refund Policy for details.
Section 7: Accuracy of billing and account information
We reserve the right to refuse or limit orders at our discretion. If changes or cancellations are made to an order, we will notify you via email. It is your responsibility to provide current and accurate information for transactions, including a complete and correct delivery address.
Section 8: Optional tools
We may provide access to third-party tools without warranties or conditions. Use of such tools is at your discretion and risk.
Section 9: Third-party links
Third-party links on this site may direct you to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or transactions on these websites.
Section 10: User comments, feedback, and submissions
By submitting content (e.g., feedback or comments), you grant us the right to edit, publish, and distribute your submissions without obligation. You agree your content will not violate laws, harm third parties, or contain malicious code.
Section 11: Personal information
Your submission of personal information through the store is governed by our Privacy Policy.
Section 12: Errors, inaccuracies, and omissions
We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to update or cancel orders as needed.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for damages arising from your use of the Service.
