1. Acceptance

By using SettleHere ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Service description

SettleHere is a map-based home location planning tool for Malaysians. It helps users evaluate commute times, nearby amenities, and educational facilities when deciding where to live. The Service is provided free of charge for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Data accuracy and no warranty

SettleHere is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. Specifically:

  • Commute times are estimates from Google Routes API. Actual travel times may vary due to traffic, road conditions, and other factors. They are not guaranteed.
  • EIP / special needs centre data is sourced from public registries (JKM, NASOM, etc.) and may be outdated or incomplete. Always verify directly with the centre before making decisions.
  • Nearby places data is retrieved from Google Places API and reflects Google's data, which may be inaccurate or out of date.
  • Property agent and project listings are submitted by third parties. SettleHere does not verify the accuracy of agent credentials or project details.

4. No liability

SettleHere and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the Service, including — but not limited to — decisions made regarding home purchases, tenancy, or educational placements based on information provided by the Service.

5. User submissions

By submitting a place (EIP centre, café, or other venue) via the submission form, you confirm that:

  • The information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • You grant SettleHere the right to publish, edit, or remove the submitted information in the Service directory.
  • You are not submitting spam, false information, or content that infringes third-party rights.

SettleHere reserves the right to decline or remove any submission without notice.

6. Third-party services

The Service integrates Google Maps Platform APIs. Use of the map is subject to Google Maps / Google Earth Additional Terms of Service. Affiliate and partner links may be subject to third-party terms.

7. Intellectual property

All original content, design, and code of SettleHere is the property of its operators. Data sourced from public registries or third-party APIs remains subject to the terms of those sources.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Malaysian courts.
