Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Marchi, operated by Marchi Technologies Limited ("we", "us", or "our"), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17111359, with registered office at 82a James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, England, IP28 7DE. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms apply globally. Where local consumer protection laws provide rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights are unaffected by these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the App (or such higher age as required by your local laws — for example, 16 in certain EU countries). By using the App, you confirm that you meet the age requirement applicable in your jurisdiction. If you are using the App on behalf of a business or organisation, you confirm you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information
• Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that have been inactive for an extended period.

4. Use of the App

4.1 Permitted Use

You may use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes to discover, explore, and share information about architecture and buildings worldwide.

5. User-Generated Content

5.1 Your Content

Content you create, organise, or share through the App — including your profile photo, bio, social handles, lists of projects you have curated, list titles and descriptions, and the projects you mark as visited or saved — is referred to as "User Content". You retain ownership of your User Content.

5.2 Licence to Us

By submitting User Content, you grant Marchi Technologies Limited a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable licence to use, store, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content within the App and for the purposes of operating and promoting the App. This licence ends when you delete your content or account, subject to reasonable technical and operational delays.

5.3 Content Standards

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You agree not to submit content that:

• Infringes any third party's intellectual property rights, including copyright or trademark
• Is defamatory, obscene, hateful, threatening, or harassing
• Contains personal information about others without their consent
• Is false, misleading, or deceptive
• Violates any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction
• Contains sexually explicit material or gratuitous depictions of violence

5.4 Our Rights Over Content

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate, without notice. We are not obligated to monitor all User Content but may do so at our discretion.

6. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the App (excluding User Content) — including but not limited to design, text, graphics, logos, software, and databases — are the intellectual property of Marchi Technologies Limited or its licensors, protected by UK, EU, US, and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the App without our express written permission.

7. Architecture Data and Accuracy

Marchi aims to provide informative and accurate content about architectural buildings and landmarks globally. However:

• We do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any architectural data or descriptions
• Information about buildings (including access, ownership, opening hours, and heritage status) may change without notice
• User-submitted content reflects individual contributors' views, not our own
• Applicable laws, permissions, and access rules may differ by country — always check local regulations before visiting any site

You should verify any information independently before relying on it, particularly for professional, academic, or research purposes.

8. Location Services

The App may use your approximate device location to provide nearby architecture recommendations. Location access is optional and can be managed through your device settings. Location features may vary by country and are subject to local laws regarding location data.

9. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with or link to third-party services (such as mapping tools or social platforms). We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

10. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

If the App offers premium features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases, these are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. All purchases are subject to the relevant platform's terms of service. Refund policies are governed by the applicable platform. We do not directly handle payment information.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components. We disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in each jurisdiction.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction, Marchi Technologies Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) £100 (or equivalent in your local currency).

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under the laws of your jurisdiction, including mandatory consumer protection rights.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Marchi Technologies Limited and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the App; (b) your User Content; or (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or for any other lawful reason. Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

15.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where mandatory local consumer laws in your country of residence provide otherwise.

15.2 Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact us first to resolve any dispute informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory jurisdictional rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence.

15.3 EU Users

If you are an EU resident, you may also have access to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

15.4 US Users

For users in the United States, any disputes may also be subject to binding arbitration under applicable US law, depending on your state of residence. Class action waivers may apply to the extent permitted by law.

16. Changes to the App

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time and in any region, without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance, subject to any mandatory rights under your local consumer laws.

17. Miscellaneous

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
• Severability: If any provision is found to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
• Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that right.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights under these Terms. We may assign our rights to a successor entity.
