1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", "your") and TrustGeo ("TrustGeo", "we", "us", "our") governing your access to and use of the TrustGeo browser extension, website, APIs, and any associated services (collectively, the "Service").

By clicking "Add to Chrome", installing the extension, creating an account, or otherwise accessing the Service, you represent that:

• You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms;
• You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement;
• You meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3;

2. Description of Service

TrustGeo is a browser extension designed for use with the online geography game GeoGuessr (geoguessr.com). The Service provides the following capabilities:

• Real-time coordinate extraction: Intercepting and parsing geолocation data from GeoGuessr's game API responses to identify the exact GPS coordinates of the current round's panorama location.
• Interactive map display: Visualizing the extracted coordinates on an embedded map interface within the extension's side panel.
• Reverse geocoding: Converting raw coordinates into human-readable address information (street, city, country) using the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API.
• AI-assisted geographic analysis: Sending location context to AI language models (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek) to generate geographic hints and analysis to assist users in identifying or learning about the location.
• Auto Find (Pro): Automatically triggering the analysis process when a new GeoGuessr round begins, without requiring manual user input.

TrustGeo is provided as-is and functionality may vary depending on updates to GeoGuessr's platform, changes to third-party APIs, or browser updates. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time.

Important note regarding GeoGuessr's Terms of Service: TrustGeo is an independent third-party tool. Use of TrustGeo may conflict with GeoGuessr's own Terms of Service. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with GeoGuessr's policies. TrustGeo assumes no responsibility for any action taken by GeoGuessr against your account as a result of using our extension.

3. Eligibility

To use TrustGeo, you must meet the following requirements:

• You must be at least 13 years of age. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service.
• You must not be located in a country subject to a Canadian, United States, or European Union government embargo, or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country.
• You must not be listed on any Canadian, United States, or European Union government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must not have been previously suspended or removed from the Service by TrustGeo.

If you do not meet these eligibility requirements, you must not use the Service. We reserve the right to verify compliance with these requirements and to terminate accounts where eligibility cannot be confirmed.

4. Account Registration & Security

To access certain features of TrustGeo, you must create an account using a valid email address. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update your information if it changes. You may only create one account per person.

4.2 Passwordless Authentication

TrustGeo uses a passwordless email verification system. When you log in, a one-time verification code is sent to your registered email address. You agree not to share your verification codes with any third party. Each code is valid for 10 minutes and is invalidated immediately upon use. You are responsible for maintaining the security of access to your email account.

4.3 Account Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, regardless of whether such activity was authorized by you. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, you must notify us immediately at contact@auth.specimen.website. TrustGeo will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorized account access.

4.4 Account Sharing Prohibition

Each TrustGeo account is for a single individual user only. Sharing your account, session tokens, or credentials with other users — including for the purpose of circumventing usage limits — is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination without refund.
