Terms of Service for Smula

Last updated: 2026-06-13

Welcome to Smula! Smula is a service that helps parents and carers find child-friendly places — such as changing tables, accessible toilets, playgrounds and family-friendly spots. The service is provided by Smula ("we", "us", "our").

By using Smula — through our app or website (including the forum, tips, newsletter and beta programme) — you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service. Please read them carefully.

1. About the service

Smula is free for parents to use. The map and information are built and kept up to date both by us and by other users (crowdsourcing). The service is provided "as is" and "as available". We may at any time, in whole or in part, change, suspend, limit or discontinue the service or individual features — without notice and without liability to you. Parts of the service may be in beta or test form, which means they may contain errors, be incomplete and change without warning.

2. Your account

You can use much of Smula without registering. When you start using the app, a device-based account is created and linked to your device so we can store your settings and saved places. You may choose to connect an email address (via a one-time code) to use the forum and sync your account across devices.

You are solely responsible for all activity that happens through your account and device, and for keeping your device and credentials secure. Do not share one-time codes or credentials with others. You must be of legal age (or have a guardian's consent) to create an account or submit content.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service for unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purposes,
• post content that is abusive, threatening, harassing, hateful, misleading, unlawful, invasive of privacy or that infringes the rights of others,
• post other people's personal data (including images of identifiable individuals) without the right or consent to do so,
• attempt to disrupt, overload, circumvent security, scrape data automatically or gain unauthorised access to the service,
• provide inaccurate or misleading information when suggesting, editing or reporting places,
• use the service in breach of these terms or applicable law.

We may, but are not obliged to, review, moderate, edit, remove or block content, and to limit, suspend or terminate accounts and email addresses — at any time and at our discretion, for example where we suspect abuse.

4. User-generated content

When you suggest, edit or report places, leave tips, upload images, post forum threads, replies or likes ("user content"), you are solely responsible for the content and for having the right to share it. You confirm that the content does not infringe anyone's rights and that any individuals shown in images have consented.

You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sub-licensable right to store, copy, process, adapt, display and use your user content for the purpose of operating, promoting and improving the service, in all current and future channels. We are not responsible for user content and do not necessarily endorse views expressed by users. You can request removal of your user content by contacting us; note that copies may persist in backups for a period.

5. Place information and your own responsibility on site

Information in Smula is largely crowd-sourced and may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. We do not verify and do not guarantee that a place, changing table, toilet, playground or stated feature actually exists or is open, available, safe or suitable. Distances, directions and map data are approximate. You use all place information at your own risk and are responsible for assessing any place on site. We are not liable for any damage, loss or inconvenience arising from visiting or relying on a place.

6. Third-party services

The service relies on third-party services, such as maps and directions (Google Maps), push notifications (Expo), email delivery (SendGrid) and hosting. Your use of such services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability or content, and you follow links to external sites at your own risk.

7. Intellectual property

The service, its brand, name, logos, design, source code and content (other than user content) belong to Drömverket or our licensors and are protected by law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, decompile or create derivative works of the service without our written permission.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, that the service will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, accurate, up to date or fit for a particular purpose. You use the service at your own risk.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by mandatory law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost profits, loss of data, or damages arising from user-generated content, third-party services, place visits, interruptions or errors in the service. Our total aggregate liability to you is in any event limited to the amount, if any, you have paid us for the service in the preceding twelve months (which, for a free service, is normally zero). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited (e.g. for intent, gross negligence or personal injury under mandatory law).

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your user content, your use of the service, or your breach of these terms or of another's rights.

11. Changes to the terms

We may update these terms. For material changes we will notify you in the app or on the website. The latest version always applies and continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Force majeure and severability

We are not liable for delays or failures due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If any provision of these terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by Swedish law. Disputes will primarily be resolved through dialogue and otherwise by Swedish courts. Mandatory consumer-protection rules in your home country are not affected.
