Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and STAMPLYN LLC (“Stamplyn”, “we”) for using the Stamplyn app and stamplyn.com. We’ve kept them short and in plain language. By creating an account or using Stamplyn, you agree to them. How we handle your data is in our Privacy Policy at stamplyn.com/privacy.

Who we are

Stamplyn is run by STAMPLYN LLC, a company registered in Armenia (registration number 999.110.1621509), Pap Tagavor Street, Yerevan 0002, Armenia. You can reach us at hello@stamplyn.com.

Your account

You can sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a one-time code we email you. An account is for one person, and you need to be at least 16 to have one. Keep your email and your Apple or Google account safe: anyone who can use them can sign in as you.

You can delete your account at any time in You › Delete account.

Stamps, levels and rankings

Stamps are for being there: Stamplyn checks you’re close to a landmark before it gives you its stamp. Don’t fake your location (for example with a location-spoofing app or a mocked GPS), use more than one account, or automate check-ins. If you do, we may remove stamps, take you out of the rankings, or close your account.

Stamps, XP, levels, achievements and rankings are for fun: they have no cash value and can’t be sold, transferred or exchanged for anything.

What you add to Stamplyn

You keep the rights to the photos, comments, lists, notes and other things you add. You give us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive permission to store, copy, resize and show them in Stamplyn to the people you choose (only you, your friends, or everyone), and on stamplyn.com when you share a link, including having our service providers handle them for us, for example for safety checks. This permission ends when you delete them or your account, except for places and notes you added to someone else’s list, which stay with that list.

Only add what you have the right to share. Don’t post photos of other people who wouldn’t want to be shown, or anything that breaks the law or someone else’s rights.

Community rules

Your username and display name can be seen by other Stamplyn users, so don’t pick one that pretends to be someone else, is offensive, or includes someone’s personal details.

Be kind: no harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, violence, illegal content or spam in anything you add to Stamplyn. We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive people.

Reports, blocking and moderation

Comments and the text of lists you share are checked by an AI model, and photos by Amazon Rekognition, before others see them. Something that clearly breaks these rules isn’t posted. A comment or stamp photo that might waits until a person on our team has looked at it; list text or a profile photo that might isn’t accepted, and you can change it. If the check can’t run, a comment or list text is posted unchecked (a stamp photo waits for review, and a profile photo isn’t accepted), and reports are the backstop.

You can report a comment, a photo, a person, a list, a shared chat with Lyn or an answer from Lyn where you see it in the app (long press it, or use its Report button), and a list or a shared chat without an account too, in the app or on its page on stamplyn.com. You can block anyone, which hides you from each other everywhere in the app. A comment or photo you report is hidden from you at once. When at least 3 people, and at least 30% of those who can see it, report a comment or photo, it’s hidden from everyone until we’ve reviewed it; a reported list or shared chat stays up until then. Lyn’s answers are written by AI: we use reports on them to correct and improve Lyn, and they never count against anyone. You can also report anything, including content you think is illegal, to hello@stamplyn.com: say where it is (a link or a screenshot), why you think it breaks the rules or the law, and your name and email. We confirm we got it and tell you what we decided.

We look at every report within 24 hours, and we remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules. A list we remove becomes private, and a shared chat we remove loses its link and can’t be shared again; when only Lyn’s answers in it broke the rules, that doesn’t count against you. If 2 of your posts, lists or shared chats are blocked or removed within 30 days (blocks count once a day), your next comments and stamp photos wait for review, and you can’t use a photo as your avatar meanwhile. Only a person on our team decides to remove reported content or suspend an account.

When we remove something of yours with a warning, you see the reason in the app. Whenever we hide, refuse or remove something of yours, or suspend your account, you can ask us at hello@stamplyn.com what we did, why, under which rule and whether it was decided automatically, and ask a person to look at it again. You can also go to court.

Places and your safety

Visit landmarks lawfully and respectfully: follow local rules and opening hours, don’t go where you’re not allowed, don’t use the app while driving, and stay aware of your surroundings. At places of remembrance, please visit quietly.

Landmark details (names, opening hours, pictures, descriptions) come from public sources and our own work, and can be wrong or out of date. You can report a mistake from the landmark’s page.

Lyn, our AI guide

Lyn is Stamplyn’s AI travel guide. Its answers, routes and suggestions are written by AI, can be wrong or out of date, and aren’t professional advice. Check anything important (opening times, prices, entry rules, visas, health and safety) with an official source before you rely on it.

If you share a chat, anyone with its link can read it.

Partner offers

Some screens show tickets, tours, hotels, transport, eSIMs, insurance and other travel services from partners, marked “Partner”. They open the partner’s own website. Stamplyn doesn’t sell, organise or book travel services and isn’t a party to anything you buy there: the partner provides it under its own terms, prices and cancellation rules, and handles any problem with it.

We may earn a commission when you buy through these links. It doesn’t change the price you pay. Links to a place’s own official website earn us nothing.

Using Stamplyn fairly

Don’t misuse Stamplyn: no attempts to break or overload it, to get around its limits, to get at other people’s data, or to copy its landmarks, stamp art or other content in bulk, by scraping or otherwise.

The app, its stamp art and its content belong to Stamplyn or to those who license them to us. Some pictures and facts come from Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap under their own licences, credited where they appear. You may use Stamplyn for your own, personal, non-commercial use.

Changes and availability

Stamplyn is new and changing fast: features, landmarks and how XP is counted may change, and the app may sometimes be unavailable.

We change these terms only for good reasons, such as new features, changes in the law, or keeping Stamplyn safe. If a change matters, we’ll tell you in the app at least 30 days before it applies, unless the law or a safety problem needs it sooner. If you don’t agree, you can stop using Stamplyn and delete your account. The date at the top shows when these terms last changed.

If we ever close Stamplyn, we’ll tell you at least 30 days before, and you can ask us for a copy of your data.

Ending

You can stop using Stamplyn and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, or when the law requires it.

Responsibility

Stamplyn is free, and we work hard to keep it accurate and running, but we provide it as it is, without a promise that it will always be available or free of mistakes.

As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect or unforeseeable losses, or for what partners and other services you reach through Stamplyn do. We’re fully responsible for harm we cause on purpose or through gross negligence. Nothing in these terms limits your rights as a consumer, or our responsibility where the law doesn’t allow it to be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

App stores

If you got Stamplyn from the App Store or Google Play, these terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. The store’s own terms apply to your download too.

If you use the iPhone app: we, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no duty to maintain or support it, and isn’t responsible for any claim about it, including product liability, legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection, or someone else’s intellectual property. Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these terms against you as third-party beneficiaries. You may use the iPhone app on Apple devices you own or control, as Apple’s Usage Rules allow. If the app fails a warranty that applies by law, you can tell Apple, which will refund any price you paid (Stamplyn is free); Apple has no other warranty duty. You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your mobile carrier’s. You confirm you aren’t in a country under a US government embargo and aren’t on a US government list of restricted parties.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Armenia. If you live in another country, you keep the protection of its consumer laws, and you can bring a claim in your local courts. If something goes wrong, please write to us first at hello@stamplyn.com: most things can be sorted out that way.
