Terms of Service
Last updated: June 2026
These Terms of Service govern your use of Spearo Map (spearomap.com), an informational reference for spearfishing legality, seasons, licenses and regulations worldwide. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
About the service
Spearo Map publishes regulatory and legal information about spearfishing, an interactive map, country and zone pages, and community features such as a shops directory, dive-spot listings and reviews. The service is provided free of charge for personal, informational use.
Informational use only — not legal advice
All content is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Laws and regulations change frequently and may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate. You are solely responsible for verifying the current rules with the relevant official authority before diving. See our Legal Disclaimer for details.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the service: no scraping or bulk extraction that burdens the service, no attempts to disrupt or gain unauthorized access, no unlawful use, and no submission of content that is illegal, infringing, misleading or harmful. We may rate-limit, suspend or restrict access to protect the service and other users.
User-submitted content
When you submit a dive spot, a shop or charter listing, a review or other content, you confirm you have the right to share it and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store and distribute it on the service. Submissions are moderated; we may edit, decline or remove any submission at our discretion. Do not include personal information you do not want shown publicly.
Intellectual property
The site design, original text and compiled data are protected by intellectual-property rights. Verbatim legal texts and official sources are reproduced for reference and remain the property of their respective issuers, with sources cited. You may view and share links to pages, but may not republish substantial portions of the compiled dataset without permission.
Third-party links and services
The site links to external websites, official sources, map tiles, marine-data providers and listed businesses. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability or practices. Following an external link is at your own risk.
Disclaimer of warranties
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the information is current or error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Spearo Map and its operators are not liable for any loss, injury, fine, penalty or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the service or its content — including decisions made while spearfishing. Always verify the rules and dive safely.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
