tapwardTapward connects a physical card to a link you choose, with tools for managing access and viewing scan activity. These terms explain your responsibilities and the limits of the service.
Using Tapward
These terms apply to the Tapward app, websites, API, card redirects, and sharing features provided by the operator identified below. By using Tapward, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
You must be legally able to enter into this agreement. If you use Tapward for a business or another organization, you must have authority to act for it. You are responsible for ensuring that your use complies with applicable law and the policies of the platforms you link to.
Accounts and access
Use your own authorized Apple or Google sign-in account and keep your device and credentials secure. You are responsible for the information and actions submitted through your account, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise. Tell us if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access.
Only claim or manage cards you are authorized to use. A card owner controls its destination and membership. Approving a request gives that person access to the card and its scan statistics; the owner can remove access later. A person receiving a shared link still needs the required permissions to act on it.
Your cards and destinations
You are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and safety of the destinations and business information you provide. Keep links current and ensure you have permission to use associated names, brands, and content. Do not put confidential information into public destination URLs.
You retain your rights in information you submit. You give us the permission needed to store, process, and display it to operate Tapward, including sending visitors to your chosen destination and showing card information to authorized users.
A card’s public link can be opened or shared by others. A physical NFC chip serial identifies a card; it is not a guarantee that a card cannot be copied or misused.
Acceptable use
Do not use Tapward to:
- Send visitors to phishing, malware, deceptive, or unlawful content; impersonate someone; or infringe another person’s rights.
- Fabricate or manipulate reviews, buy or incentivize reviews in violation of a destination platform’s policies, or misrepresent customer feedback.
- Access an account or card without permission, bypass access controls, share credentials to evade restrictions, or interfere with another person’s use.
- Overload the service, abuse the API, scrape nonpublic information, or attempt to defeat security protections.
What scan statistics mean
A scan represents a recorded opening of a card link, not a unique person, a completed page load, a submitted review, or a verified sale. Repeated visits, automated requests, connectivity issues, and service interruptions may affect counts. Statistics are provided for general business insight and are not guaranteed to be complete or error-free.
Some history is retained in aggregate form. The Privacy Policy explains data collection and retention.
Other services and purchases
Apple, Google, destination websites, and other external services operate independently of Tapward. Their availability, content, privacy policies, and terms govern your use of their services. Tapward is not endorsed by Apple or Google and cannot control whether a destination accepts or displays a review.
These terms do not replace the terms of a separate purchase of a physical card, an App Store or Google Play transaction, or another written agreement. Any price, subscription, or purchase conditions must be presented at the time of that transaction; these terms do not create a recurring charge.
Google Maps terms
By using the Google Maps features in Tapward, you agree to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service, including the Google Terms of Service incorporated there. Google’s Privacy Policy applies to Google’s processing of information.
Availability and changes
We may maintain, update, or change Tapward. Service can be interrupted by maintenance, network or provider failures, or circumstances outside our control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted redirects, compatibility with every NFC device, a particular number of scans, or a business or review outcome.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, security issues, legal requirements, or violations of these terms. We will provide notice where required by law or reasonably practicable.
Leaving or deleting your account
You can stop using Tapward at any time. To delete your account, use Settings → Account → Delete account. Deleting the app alone does not delete your account.
Unlinking a card you own or deleting its owner’s account clears the card’s destination and scan history and removes all linked users. The card stays prepared and can be linked again right away. Leaving someone else’s card removes your access without deleting that owner’s card or history. A reset or deleted card record may cause its existing public link to stop working.
Our rights and your legal protections
The Tapward software, design, and branding belong to their respective rights holders. You may use the app for its intended purpose under these terms and any applicable platform license terms. These terms do not transfer ownership of Tapward to you.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tapward is provided as available, without additional promises that the service will meet every requirement or be free of interruptions or errors. We are not responsible for the content or conduct of independently operated destination services.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any warranty, remedy, consumer right, or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Mandatory protections under the law that applies to you continue to apply.
Updates and questions
We may revise these terms. The updated date appears at the top of this page, and we will give additional notice where required by law. Changes apply prospectively. If you disagree with revised terms, you can stop using Tapward and delete your account.
Contact us with questions, access problems, or reports of misuse. The Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled.
