This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“If your content is protected by intellectual property rights, you grant Waze a license to use, copy, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, modify, and create derivative works based on your content.”
“Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to these Terms and the Service, will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in the Tel Aviv district in Israel.”
“you must do so within one (1) year of the day you become aware of the cause of action. Failure to file a lawsuit within the aforementioned timeframe will bring about the permanent barring of the cause of action...”
“Waze hereby grants you a free of charge, non-exclusive, time-limited, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable license to use the Service (including the App) for your personal, non-commercial purposes...”
“use or exploit the Service for any commercial purposes, including for example (and without limitation) by: offering to third parties a service of your own that uses the Service or its Content...”
“YOU MUST NOT ATTEMPT TO VIEW OR CLICK ON ANY ADS WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE.”
These terms give you a free but revocable right to use Waze only for personal, non-commercial purposes, and Waze can cut off your access at any time for any reason. By submitting content such as map edits or reports, you give Waze broad rights to use and modify what you contributed. If you ever want to sue Waze, you must do so within one year of learning about the problem, and any lawsuit must be filed in Israel.
This document establishes the terms governing user access to and use of the Waze Service and App. Waze grants users a free, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal, non-commercial license to use the Service, while requiring users to grant Waze a broad license to use, copy, distribute, modify, and create derivative works from any content they submit. Waze disclaims all warranties and excludes liability for all categories of damage, including direct, indirect, incidental, and consequential loss, shifting full responsibility for conduct and consequences onto users, who must also indemnify Waze, its personnel, and third-party advertisers against all claims, damages, and losses. The document bars all commercial exploitation of the Service, sets a minimum user age of 16, imposes a one-year contractual limitations period on claims, and vests Waze with sole and absolute discretion to block or discontinue any user's access at any time for any reason. Dispute resolution is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in the Tel Aviv district in Israel.
As an individual user, you receive access to the Service under a license Waze can revoke at any time without guaranteed continuity. You bear full responsibility for your conduct and its consequences, and Waze makes no warranty about the accuracy or reliability of the Service or its Content. Any content you submit can be used, modified, and built upon by Waze. You are responsible for indemnifying Waze and its third-party advertisers against claims arising from your use. You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you have a legal claim against Waze, you must bring it within one year of becoming aware of the cause of action — waiting longer permanently extinguishes the claim — and any litigation must be pursued before courts in the Tel Aviv district in Israel.
