By accessing or using the Georavity API ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. "You" refers to the individual or entity using the Service. "We", "us", and "Georavity" refer to the operators of the Georavity platform.

2. Description of Service

Georavity provides geospatial intelligence APIs including routing, geocoding, isochrone analysis, distance matrices, elevation data, and map tiles. The Service is provided as-is via HTTPS endpoints at api.georavity.com.

3. API Keys & Authentication

  • Each account may hold up to 5 active API keys.
  • API keys are confidential credentials. You are responsible for their security.
  • Sharing keys publicly (e.g., in client-side code without origin restrictions) is at your own risk.
  • We may revoke keys that are used abusively or in violation of these terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose or to violate any laws.
  • Circumvent rate limits, quota enforcement, or authentication mechanisms.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service.

  • Use the Service to build a competing routing or geocoding API.
  • Overwhelm the Service with automated requests beyond your plan's rate limits.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
