I know this happens with some frequency, I wonder how frequently the companies update the TOS with language like this. The very idea of a self-updating TOS that will govern all usage into perpetuity feels like it should have been legally stuck down years ago. This company's current language on indistinct modification rights:
> We reserve our right to alter the terms in this Agreement and/or the pricing information and method detailed in NightOwl app's website at any time. In case the Agreement is amended as described, we will post an updated version of it in our website, at which time it becomes active and binding.
> In case NightOwl app alters the Agreement in a way which will be deemed material to the relations and/or obligations of the parties by NightOwl app's sole decision, we will inform you of these changes on our website or via our social media accounts and other established communication channels.
Great, a website update for a locally installed application. Definitely going to subscribe to your social feed to get an update.
Could maps.me also be in a similar state? It used to be a good OpenStreetsMaps frontend and it was bought (possibly twice) by some investor firm to generate profit.
I don’t know what is the state of this app now. Does anyone know? What is the profit scheme (I suspect it might be similar to this one described here) and to which app would you switch instead?
I've been using it and it is great.
