Terms of service

By using mapoddity.com, you agree to these terms and conditions. If you don't agree, you're welcome to explore weird places in other ways, but this isn't the place for you.

Using Our Site

We love weird places, and we know you do too! By browsing our list of odd locations and using the Google Maps Embed API in our site, you agree to use our services for fun and educational purposes. Please don't misuse the maps or our site by trying to access it in ways that could harm its functionality.

User Comments

You’re free to share your thoughts about each place in the comments. However, we ask that you keep it respectful, relevant, and weirdly wonderful. No hate speech, offensive language, or anything that violates common decency. If you break these rules, your comments may be removed, and you could be banned from the site.

Suggesting Weird Places

Found a new weird place that we don’t know about? Awesome! You can suggest places to us. We review all suggestions to ensure they fit within the quirky and wonderful theme of our site. While we appreciate your contributions, we reserve the right to reject any suggestions for any reason. Once submitted, we may use your suggestion on our site without needing to credit or compensate you — though we’ll always appreciate your input!

Content Ownership

All the content, including user-generated comments, remains our property or the property of our users. Please don't take it and pretend it's yours. If you want to use anything, just ask — we're usually pretty friendly.

Privacy

We care about your privacy. Any personal information you provide when using the site (like leaving a comment) will be handled according to our Privacy Policy.

Google Maps API

We're using Google Maps to show all the amazing weird places, but keep in mind that the Google Maps API is governed by its own terms of service, which you can read here.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we do, we'll let you know by posting the new version on this page.
