Terms of Use
Last updated: 19 April 2026
1. About PlaySpot
PlaySpot ("we", "us", "our") is a free progressive web app for discovering playgrounds across Australia. It's operated as a personal project from Australia.
2. Using the app
You must be at least 13 years old, or have the permission of a parent or guardian, to create an account. You agree to use PlaySpot for personal, non-commercial purposes and not to misuse the service, including by:
- Submitting spam, abusive, unlawful, or misleading content.
- Attempting to scrape the playground dataset, or circumventing rate limits or access controls.
- Interfering with other users' access to the service.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, at our discretion and without notice.
3. Accounts
You're responsible for keeping your account credentials safe and for any activity that happens under your account. Let us know straight away if you suspect unauthorised access.
4. Community contributions
When you add a comment, age rating, or edit suggestion, you grant PlaySpot a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display, store, moderate, and publish that contribution inside the app. You can ask us to remove your contributions at any time by contacting us.
You confirm that contributions are your own observations, factually honest to the best of your knowledge, and don't contain personal information about other people (including children) without their consent.
We review comments and suggestions before they go live. We may edit, reject, or remove contributions that don't meet our guidelines.
5. Playground data
Playground locations and features are compiled from Australian open data sources and community contributions. We make reasonable efforts to keep the data accurate, but we can't guarantee it's complete or current. Always check conditions on site, especially fencing, shade, and equipment suitability for your child.
6. No warranty
PlaySpot is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of the app, including reliance on playground information.
Nothing in these terms excludes consumer guarantees that can't lawfully be excluded.
7. Changes to the app and these terms
We may change features, pause the service, or update these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated in-app or via the email address on your account. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of South Australia. Disputes fall under the jurisdiction of courts in that state.
