Terms of Service
Version 1.3 — Effective 2 November 2026
1. What Vimana is
Vimana is a catalogue of audio walking tours that we make and you walk in the app, for free. You can choose to leave a tip after a walk; tipping is optional. By using Vimana you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2. Tours are made with AI
We make every tour with artificial intelligence. AI researches public sources and writes the stops, the stories and the directions between stops; the narrators' voices are AI-generated, not recordings of real people; and the music and sound effects, where a tour has them, are AI-generated too. Some tours also play real historical recordings and video clips from Wikimedia Commons, and show pictures from it, each credited where it appears; the linked videos are YouTube's. We check tours against map data and review them, and tours may still contain mistakes, outdated details, or false statements about places, people, and businesses. Tours are for enjoyment and general interest, not professional or safety advice. Check anything that matters to you, such as opening hours, prices, access, and safety, before you rely on it. If you find something wrong, tell us through Report in the app or by email, and we will look at it and may correct or remove it.
3. Walk safely
Tours are enjoyed in the real world. Stay aware of your surroundings, obey traffic signals and local rules, respect private property, and don't interact with the app while crossing streets or in unsafe places. Directions can be wrong or out of date, and a route that was open may be closed when you get there. You are responsible for your own safety and for choosing where you walk.
4. Your account
Where the app asks you to sign in, you sign in with your Google account, and you are responsible for activity on your account. You agree not to abuse, probe, or overload the service, not to get around its limits, and not to use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. You can delete your account at any time in the app or on the web, as the Privacy Policy explains.
5. Tips
Tips are optional. When the app offers them, a tip is paid through Google Play or the App Store with your store account, under that store's terms, and the store shows the amount and handles the payment and any taxes. A tip is a thank-you for a tour you have walked. It does not buy or unlock anything — no tour, feature, content, or status — and it changes nothing in the app. Refunds for tips follow the store's own refund policy (Google Play or Apple); where Google Play directs you to us, email us and we will act under that policy. A refunded tip changes nothing in the app either. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
6. Tours can change or go
Tours are free and are not sold. We may update, correct, replace, or remove any tour, and change or end any feature, at any time and without notice, for example after a report, a complaint, or a change in the place itself. We do not promise that any tour stays available for any period. A tour you download for offline use is kept on your device for a limited time and then removed by the app.
7. Reports and feedback
When you send us a report or feedback, you let us use it, free of charge, to fix and improve Vimana and its tours. Don't include other people's personal details. We read every message, but we don't promise to reply or to act on it.
8. Using tours and their content
Tours, their narration, audio, and music are licensed to you for your own personal, non-commercial listening in the app — not sold. You may not copy, download outside the app's own offline feature, extract, redistribute, publish, or resell them, and you may not access Vimana by scraping, crawling, bots, or any other automated means, or use its content to build or train a competing product or dataset. We limit how much any one account can access, and may suspend or close accounts that break this section. Pictures, recordings and video clips from Wikimedia Commons are used under their authors' licences, credited where they appear; those licences, not this section, govern your reuse of them. Vimana includes Google Maps features and content, whose use is subject to the then-current Google Maps End User Additional Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. Vimana uses YouTube API Services, and videos play in YouTube's own player; by using Vimana you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.
9. Limitation of liability
Vimana is provided as it is. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising from reliance on tour content, from routes taken or places visited, or from anything that happens while walking a tour, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the tips you paid in the twelve months before the claim and 50 US dollars. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
10. Changes to these terms
When these terms change we will update the version and effective date above. We will tell you in the app before a significant change takes effect, and we may ask you to accept the new terms. If you keep using Vimana after a change takes effect, the new terms apply; if you do not agree, stop using Vimana and delete your account.
11. Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, and disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Israel. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and of its courts where that law gives you the right to use them. Contact: [email protected].
