Terms of purchase

What you buy, what it costs, how it is delivered and what you may use it for.

Version 0.3 (draft) · Last updated 15 July 2026

Draft under completion before commercial launch. The document gets a legal review before real sales begin.

The short version

  • You buy a digital map (3D model and drawing layers) generated from public geodata for the area you draw.
  • Prices show in NOK with 25% VAT included before you pay. Payment by card, handled by Stripe.
  • The map is reference material, not a legal boundary survey. Check the data before you build on it.
  • If the build fails technically, you are refunded automatically.

1. Who is selling

The seller is GeoAnvil AS, org. no. 938 139 962, with registered office in Stord, Norway, registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises ("we", "GeoAnvil"). These terms cover purchases of maps on this website. Buying requires an account. You can buy as a private person, which makes you a consumer under Norwegian law, or on behalf of a company, which makes it a business purchase. That distinction matters for the right of withdrawal, see section 7.

2. The product

A GeoAnvil map is a digital project base generated automatically from public geodata for the area you draw: 3D terrain, buildings, roads, water, georeferencing and parcel data where available, delivered as files such as IFC, DXF and GPKG in the coordinate and height reference shown before purchase. The exact contents are listed in the map picker before you buy and on the help page. Sources and licences are on Data sources.

The map mirrors public registers, whose quality and freshness vary. It is not a legal boundary determination, not survey documentation and not a geotechnical assessment. See section 9.

3. Price and payment

Prices are in Norwegian kroner. VAT (25%) is itemised, and the full total shows before you confirm. Payment is by card at checkout, processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.

4. Ordering and delivery

The map starts building when payment is confirmed, and normally finishes within minutes. You download it from My maps or import it through a plugin. If a public data source is unavailable, the build retries automatically; if it cannot complete within our delivery window, the purchase is refunded in full, automatically.

5. What you may use it for

You get a perpetual, non-exclusive right to use the delivered map in your own projects, commercial ones included, and to share it with project partners. The underlying open-data licences (CC BY, NLOD, ODbL) travel with the data; the credit file included with every map satisfies them. You may not resell the map itself as a standalone product or build a competing delivery service on it.

6. Right of withdrawal

Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Norwegian Cancellation Act. Because a map is digital content delivered immediately, you consent at checkout to delivery starting at once, and you acknowledge that the right of withdrawal is lost when delivery begins. Business purchases have no statutory right of withdrawal.

7. If something is wrong

If a map has a defect, contact us at post@geoanvil.com with your order number. We rebuild the map or refund it. Complaints follow Norwegian consumer law for consumers.

8. Liability

The map is reference material built on public sources. You are responsible for verifying the data before it is used for design, applications or construction. Our liability is limited to the price you paid for the map, except where mandatory law says otherwise. We are not liable for indirect losses such as delays or lost profits.

9. Intellectual property

The generation pipeline, the website and the plugins are ours. The open data remains subject to its own licences. Your delivered map is yours to use as described in section 5.

10. Law and disputes

Norwegian law applies. For business customers, the courts serving the seller's registered place of business — Stord, Norway — are the agreed legal venue. Consumers keep the venue protections of Norwegian procedural law and can also bring complaints to the Norwegian Consumer Authority. We may update these terms; the version at the time of purchase applies to that purchase.
