Welcome to MapWise. Please review our terms of service agreement.

Last updated: September 29, 2026

WELCOME TO THE MAPWISE WEB SITE (the "Site"). Using the Site is subject to your acceptance of this Terms of Service agreement (the "Agreement"). If you do not accept this Agreement, please do not use the Site. Throughout the Agreement the terms "we", "our", or "us" refers to MapWise Inc., a Florida corporation, and "you" or "your" refers to you, the visitor to our Site.

Changes to this Agreement

From time to time we may change the terms of this Agreement without prior notice to you. The current Agreement can be found at www.mapwise.com/terms.php. By using the Site after we have posted any revisions to this Agreement, you accept the Agreement as revised.

Privacy

We respect your privacy. Please review our Privacy Policy for a description of the information we collect and how we use it.

Errors and Downtime

Errors may appear from time to time on the Site and some information on the Site may be out of date. Before relying on information you've found on the Site, please confirm any facts that are important to your decision. You can contact us by accessing the Contact Us page on our site, or call us at 772-600-7353. From time to time the Site may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which we may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond our control or which we cannot reasonably foresee.

Ownership

The materials and content on our Site are our property, or the property of our licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. These materials and content include, but are not limited to, maps and map data, pictures, images, graphics, audio, video, geocodes and/or geocoded data, logos, trademarks, service marks, and text.

Personal and reference use. You may electronically copy and print portions of the materials on the Site for personal use, for reference, for communicating with us, or for placing an order, provided you maintain all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices and credit MapWise.

Commercial use of outputs. You may use map graphics and printed outputs you generate from the Site for your own commercial purposes (for example, real estate advertising or appraisals), provided the MapWise data and materials themselves are not sold, licensed, sublicensed, distributed, displayed, or otherwise made available to any third party, and provided MapWise is credited.

Redistribution and incorporation into products requires a separate license. Except as expressly permitted above or in the Map Tiles section below, you may not reproduce, upload, modify, distribute, or otherwise make the data or materials available to any third party without a separate written license from MapWise. For the avoidance of doubt, incorporating the data into — or making it available, displayed, or queryable through — any product, application, or service that you offer or provide to third parties requires a separate redistribution/enterprise license, regardless of whether the data itself is sold separately or only made available as part of your product or service. Requests for such a license should be sent to MapWise Customer Support.

Content Access

Access to content on mapwise.com is via several methods:

  • Free and open access. Some content is provided free of charge without registration with the site.
  • Named users. Some content is provided via registration as a named user. Free trials and paid subscriptions are offered. Free trials are limited to one per customer. Named users shall not share their logins.
  • API. Some content is available via API. We provide access to the API via either free and open access or named users.
  • Bulk data sales. Some content is available via bulk data purchase.

API and automated access. Access to the API is licensed for targeted, per-query use to retrieve individual records responsive to a specific search. Tiles are governed by the Map Tiles section below instead. You may not use the API, or any automated process, to systematically download, enumerate, or harvest records in bulk; to reconstruct or assemble a copy of all or a substantial portion of the dataset (including parcel geometry); or to build a local or third-party store, index, or database that substitutes for licensed access. Operational caching of records actively in use is permitted; persistent storage or accumulation of data to assemble a standing copy of the dataset is not. We monitor usage for prohibited activity and may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate access from any account or client as needed.

Permitted Use and Redistribution

Permitted subscription use. Under a MapWise Professional subscription, you may:

  • Access the data via the Site and API, including by writing or generating code (including with AI-assisted development tools) to query the API for your own use;
  • Analyze the data and use it to inform your own and your clients’ business decisions;
  • Create reports, maps, analyses, valuations, and other deliverables that present insights, conclusions, or analysis derived from the data, and provide those deliverables and related professional services to your clients;
  • Use the data with your own internal or private AI systems for analysis.

Requires a separate redistribution/enterprise license. Except as permitted in the Map Tiles section below, without a separate written license, you may not:

  • Incorporate the data into, or make it available, displayed, or queryable through, any product, application, or service you offer to third parties;
  • Provide any third party with the data itself, a substantial portion of it, or live access to query it — delivering analysis or conclusions derived from the data is permitted; delivering the data or substantial extracts is not;
  • Resell, sublicense, or otherwise redistribute the data;
  • Use the data to build, train, or seed a competing or substitute dataset or product;
  • Upload or submit the data to any public or third-party AI/LLM or AI service that may retain, train on, or reuse it (use with your own private/proprietary AI is permitted);
  • Systematically enumerate, scrape, or persistently store the data to assemble a standing copy or reconstruct bulk data or geometry. Operational caching to support your own analysis is permitted; building a persistent local copy is not.
  • Use the API to retrieve parcel geometry through bounding-box, area, polygon, or other multi-parcel queries. Through the API, parcel geometry is provided for single-parcel lookup only; area or bulk geometry access requires a separate enterprise or bulk-data license.

Map Tiles

What this section covers. Where MapWise provides aerial imagery map tiles (“Tiles”) through its API, you access them with a publishable API key (a key beginning mw_pk_) and the website origins you register for it in your account. This section governs your use of Tiles. Where the paragraphs on redistribution and incorporation into products (under Ownership), API and automated access (under Content Access), and uses requiring a separate license (under Permitted Use and Redistribution) would otherwise prohibit a use this section permits, this section applies instead. It does not extend to parcel data or to any other MapWise data, which remain subject to those sections. The monitoring, rate-limiting, suspension, and termination rights in the API and automated access paragraph apply to Tiles.

What you may do. You may display Tiles to the users of your own websites, including websites you offer to third parties, in web pages loaded in a browser from an origin registered to your publishable key, by requesting Tiles as those users view the map. Requests a map library makes in the ordinary course of displaying an interactive map, including for nearby areas and zoom levels, count as viewing the map. You may cache Tiles only in the end user's browser or device, as directed by the HTTP cache headers sent with them; you may not proxy, re-serve, or cache individual Tiles on a server, CDN, or other shared cache. You may also make and share screenshots, prints, and PDF or other static images of a map view that includes Tiles, each as a single flattened image of the view as displayed, not as the individual Tiles, and not assembled from multiple views into a mosaic or larger image, including in reports, listings, and marketing materials, provided the attribution appears on or next to the image.

Attribution. Wherever Tiles are displayed, you must display the attribution published in the tileset's TileJSON. Display it prominently, on the map or immediately adjacent to it, and keep it legible: do not remove, alter, or obscure it, and do not let your interface cover it. Showing it as plain text without its links is permitted.

What you may not do. Without a separate written license, you may not:

  • Bulk-download or systematically request Tiles other than as your users view the map, or store Tiles beyond what the HTTP cache headers allow, including to build an offline or local copy of the imagery;
  • Sell, license, or distribute Tiles as image files, or provide them to any third party other than by displaying or sharing them as permitted above;
  • Use Tiles to build, train, or seed a competing or substitute imagery dataset or product;
  • Trace, digitize, or extract features or data from Tiles, or use Tiles to train, test, or improve machine-learning or artificial intelligence models;
  • Spoof, forge, or alter an Origin or Referer header, or otherwise circumvent the restrictions on a key;
  • Remove, alter, or obscure any notice or watermark in or with Tiles;
  • Use a publishable key from origins not registered to it, or share it for that purpose.

Your key and your charges. You are responsible for all Tile requests made with your publishable key, and for the resulting charges, whether or not you authorized them, including if the key is copied, stolen, or misused. Tile requests are billed to the account that owns the key, as described in the API pricing. Notify MapWise Customer Support promptly if you suspect misuse; we may block, restrict, or rotate a key.

Imagery. Tiles are provided as is, under the No Warranty and Limitation of Liability sections. Imagery dates, coverage, and positional accuracy vary by source, and Tiles are not suitable for survey, engineering, or boundary determination. We may change the imagery, vintages, and tilesets offered.

Links

We may link to another web site, but our link does not constitute our endorsement of that site or an endorsement of any product, service or other material offered on that site.
