The Modern Map

Terms of use and licence

Last updated 10 November 2026

These terms cover buying and using maps from The Modern Map (themodernmap.com). Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which sells your map to you as our reseller (merchant of record), so its buyer terms also apply to your purchase. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

Prices include any VAT or sales tax, which Lemon Squeezy works out at checkout. Your receipt comes from Lemon Squeezy, and the charge appears on your bank statement under their name.

What you get

• Your map as a print-quality PNG image (4800 pixels on its long side) and a vector SVG file, made from the design you created.
• You receive digital files only. We don't print or post anything.
• Downloads are available for 12 months from your thank-you page or the link in your receipt email. Please save your files; after 12 months they can no longer be downloaded.
• Colours can look slightly different in print than on screen, depending on your screen, printer and paper.
• Maps are made from OpenStreetMap data, which is created by volunteers and may contain small gaps or errors. Your map is artwork, not a map for navigation.

Your licence: what you can do with your map

When you buy a map, you may:

• print it, and have it printed by a printing service, for the uses below;
• display it in your home, or give it (printed or as a file) as a personal gift;
• display it in your own business premises, such as on the wall of your office, shop or café.

You may not:

• sell, resell or rent the files or prints, or offer them as part of any product or service;
• use the design on merchandise (such as mugs, clothing or cards) or in advertising;
• share the files publicly, for example by uploading them for others to download, or add them to stock, template or print-on-demand sites.

The artwork (its design, colours and files) remains ours; you're buying a licence to use it as described above. The underlying map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors and remains freely available under its own licence; these terms don't restrict it.

Want to use your map another way, such as on products or in your business's marketing? Email hello@themodernmap.com and we can usually arrange a licence.

Cancellations and refunds

Maps are digital content supplied straight away. Before paying, you're asked to confirm that you want your files immediately and understand that you lose your 14-day right to cancel once the download starts. So we don't give refunds if you change your mind.

If something is wrong with your files, for example a file won't open, or the map doesn't match the design and preview you created, email hello@themodernmap.com with your order details and we'll fix or replace it. If we can't, we'll refund you.

Before you buy

Please check your preview carefully, including the place, colours and any title, as your files are made exactly from the design you buy. If you spot a mistake after buying, contact us and we'll do our best to help.

You're responsible for any title or subtitle you add. It mustn't infringe anyone else's rights, such as a trademark, or be unlawful or offensive.

Our responsibility

We make every effort to provide good-quality files, but we're not responsible for losses that weren't a foreseeable result of a problem with them. Our total responsibility for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it. This doesn't limit anything that can't be limited by law.

General

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. We may update them from time to time; the version shown when you bought applies to your purchase. Questions: hello@themodernmap.com.
