Terms of use

Pinmade is a free directory and map of local makers' shops. We don't sell goods or services on behalf of shops, there is no checkout, and we are not a party to anything you agree with a shop.

We check listings, but shops' details (opening hours, products, prices) can change. Check with the shop if something matters to you. Directions open your own maps app, and you're responsible for getting there safely.

Steps: (1) enter your email address on “Pinmade for shops”; (2) we email you a one-time code or link; (3) by entering the code or opening the link you create your account and agree to these terms and acknowledge the privacy policy, both linked on that page.

Storing and access: these terms stay available at /legal/terms with their version date (2026-11-06); you can save or print them at any time. We keep a record of when you signed in.

Language: these terms are in English. Key information about us and this process is also given in Georgian on the About page; if the versions differ, the English text applies to the extent the law allows.

Correcting mistakes: you can check and correct your email before asking for a code, and you can edit your listing at any time before and after submitting it, or email us to correct anything.

You may list a shop only if you own it or are authorised to act for it, and only if it designs and makes its own products and has a place visitors can go to. You must be at least 16, and 18 or the age of majority where you live to act for a business.

Everything you submit (text, photos, addresses, hours, links) must be accurate, lawful and yours to share, including permission from anyone recognisable in photos. You keep ownership. You give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, display, adapt (for example resize or crop) and translate it on Pinmade and in sharing previews, and to use it to promote Pinmade and your shop. The licence ends when you remove the content, except for copies already shared or kept where the law requires.

We may edit for format, decline, hide or remove listings that don't fit Pinmade, break these terms or the law, or are reported as wrong, and we'll tell you why unless the law prevents it. Listings the Pinmade team adds from public information can be claimed by the shop's owner, who then takes over this agreement.

You can delete a listing or your whole account at any time yourself (in “Your shops”), or by emailing us. We can suspend accounts that misuse Pinmade.

Don't use Pinmade to post fake or misleading listings or reports, spam, collect data at scale (scraping), break or probe our security, impersonate others, or share content that is unlawful or infringes anyone's rights.

Pinmade's design, name, logo and seal are ours; you may link to Pinmade and share shop pages. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); map tiles by OpenFreeMap. Place names, regions and time zones from GeoNames (geonames.org, CC BY 4.0), with codes from Wikidata (CC0), Natural Earth (public domain), Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (local government codes), and neighborhoods in Japan made from 「位置参照情報」 (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) with readings from Japan Post's postcode data.

Pinmade hosts content supplied by shop owners and visitors. If you believe something on Pinmade is illegal or infringes your rights, use “Report a problem” on the page or email amikhailsmirnov@gmail.com with the page address and the reason. When we learn of illegal content we remove it or limit access to it promptly, and we cooperate with courts and authorities as the law requires.

Pinmade is free and provided as it is. We do our best to keep it accurate, safe and available, but we don't guarantee it is always correct, complete or online.

We are not responsible for shops' products, prices, opening hours or conduct, or for indirect losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for harm to life or health, or any other liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you. If you use Pinmade as a consumer, you keep all mandatory rights you have under the law of the country where you live.

We may update these terms. The version date shows the current one. For material changes we'll notify shop owners by email at least 14 days before they apply; continuing to use your account after that means you accept them, and you can close your account instead.

These terms are governed by the law of Georgia. Please contact us first; we'll try to resolve any problem within 30 days. Otherwise disputes go to the competent courts of Georgia, without taking away a consumer's right to the courts or mandatory law of their own country.
