Terms of Service

By purchasing a subscription, installing locsim, activating a license key, or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use locsim.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and legally able to enter into a contract. If you are using locsim on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind that company to these terms.

locsim is a location simulator for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later. It sets the location your device reports to apps, and it runs on the device itself without a computer or a jailbreak.

locsim is an independent product. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc., and iPhone, iPad, iOS, and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc. We are equally unaffiliated with any app, game, service, or platform whose behaviour may be affected by a simulated location.

locsim is distributed by us directly, not through the App Store. You are responsible for deciding whether installing it is consistent with your device's warranty, your employer's policies, and any agreement you have with Apple or your carrier.

While your subscription is active and paid, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use one copy of locsim for your own use. We license locsim to you — we do not sell it to you, and you acquire no ownership in it.

A license key activates on one device. The first device to activate a key is bound to it, and the key will not validate on a second device. If you need to move your key to a replacement device, contact us.

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• Share, resell, sublicense, rent, lend, or publish your license key.
• Copy, redistribute, mirror, or make locsim available to anyone else, including by re-signing or repackaging the app file.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the app, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with license validation, device binding, expiry, or any other technical measure in the app or our API.
• Access our API by any means other than the app, or send automated, bulk, or abusive requests to it.
• Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

Breaching this section ends your license immediately and lets us revoke the key without a refund.

locsim is a general-purpose tool with legitimate uses — testing location-aware software you are building, protecting your home address from apps that do not need it, and privacy generally. How you use it is your responsibility, and some uses are prohibited.

You must not use locsim to:

• Break any law, regulation, or court order that applies to you.
• Commit or facilitate fraud, theft, or deception of any kind — including misrepresenting your location to an employer, insurer, customer, marketplace, delivery or ride-hailing platform, or anyone who is paying you on the basis of where you are.
• Defeat court-ordered, probation, bail, custody, or other legally mandated location monitoring.
• Evade geographic restrictions imposed for regulatory reasons, including those applying to online gambling, financial services, securities trading, or age-restricted or licensed products.
• Stalk, harass, impersonate, deceive, endanger, or conceal your location from someone who has a legal right to know it.
• Interfere with emergency services, or cause false location information to be given to them.
• Breach the terms of service of any other app, game, or platform, or gain an unfair advantage in any game, competition, promotion, or reward scheme.
• Access, or make locsim available in, any country subject to comprehensive US sanctions, or provide it to anyone on a US restricted-party list.

We may suspend or terminate your license immediately, without refund, if we reasonably believe you have used locsim in any of these ways.

Simulating your device location carries risks that no software can eliminate. By using locsim you knowingly accept them. These include, without limitation:

• Suspension, restriction, or permanent loss of accounts, purchases, progress, or funds on any third-party app or platform.
• Apps that rely on location behaving unexpectedly, inaccurately, or not at all — including navigation, transport, delivery, safety, banking, and emergency features.
• Loss of access to region-locked content or services.
• Changes by Apple to iOS, to code signing, or to device security that break locsim, temporarily or permanently, at any time and without notice.
• The need to reinstall the app or reset your device, with the data loss that can involve.

You are responsible for backing up your device and your data before installing or using locsim.

locsim is sold only as a subscription, billed weekly, monthly, or annually depending on the plan you choose. All three plans include the same features and differ only in price and billing cycle.

Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the then-current price, until you cancel. Payments are taken by Stripe using the payment method you provide. We never see or store your full card details.

Prices are shown in US dollars unless stated otherwise and exclude any tax, duty, or bank or currency-conversion fee, which is your responsibility. We may change our prices at any time; a change will not affect the period you have already paid for, and we will give you notice before it applies to a renewal.

If a payment fails, we may retry it and may suspend or expire your license until payment succeeds.

You can cancel at any time from the Manage page: enter the email you used at checkout and we email you a secure link to the Stripe customer portal, valid for 30 minutes. Cancelling stops future renewals. Your license stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and then stops validating.

All payments are final and non-refundable, including partial billing periods. Because your license key is delivered immediately after purchase, we do not offer refunds for change of mind, for accounts banned by other platforms, for a device or iOS version we do not support, or for any period you did not use.

This does not limit any refund or cancellation right you have under mandatory consumer law where you live, and nothing in these terms affects rights that cannot legally be excluded. Where such a right applies, it prevails over this section.

If you dispute a charge with your bank instead of contacting us, we may revoke your license key and refuse future purchases. If you think you have been charged in error, contact us first — we would rather fix it.

After a successful payment we email your license key, a download link for the app, and a setup tutorial to the address on your Stripe receipt. It is your responsibility to give a working email address and to check your spam folder. If nothing arrives, contact us and we will resend it.

Support runs through Telegram at @sarjxs. Support is provided on a best-effort basis with no guaranteed response time, and we may change or discontinue it.

We do not promise that locsim or this website will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of locsim — including features you rely on — at any time. If we permanently discontinue locsim entirely, we will stop billing active subscriptions.

Payments are processed by Stripe, and your use of checkout and the customer portal is subject to Stripe’s terms and privacy policy. The demo video is hosted by Vimeo and only loads if you press play. Links from this site to other services are provided for convenience.

We are not responsible for third-party services, their content, their availability, or anything they do with information you give them directly.

locsim, this website, and everything in them — software, text, design, graphics, video, and the locsim name and logo — are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you the license in section 3 and nothing more.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free right to use them without obligation or compensation to you.

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why. In short: we collect your email address, an optional Telegram handle, and an opaque device identifier used to bind your key to one device. locsim does not collect, transmit, or store the locations you simulate or your device’s real location.

You may stop using locsim at any time by cancelling your subscription. We may suspend or terminate your license and refuse service, with or without notice, if you breach these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud, chargeback abuse, or unlawful use, or if we are required to by law.

On termination your license ends immediately, your key stops validating, and you must stop using and delete locsim. Termination for breach does not entitle you to a refund. Any provision that by its nature should survive termination does so, including sections 4, 5, 7, and 10 through 21.

LOCSIM AND THIS WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that locsim will meet your requirements, that it will be compatible with your device or any iOS version, that it will be uninterrupted, secure, accurate, or error-free, that simulated locations will be undetectable by any app or platform, or that defects will be corrected. No advice or information from us, written or oral, creates any warranty.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, accounts, in-app purchases, game progress, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to locsim, these terms, or your use of or inability to use locsim — even if we have been advised such damages are possible.

We are specifically not liable for any suspension, ban, restriction, or loss imposed on you by any third-party app, game, platform, employer, or service as a result of your use of locsim.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to locsim will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars (US$50).

These limits apply to every theory of liability — contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise — and survive any failure of essential purpose of a limited remedy. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless locsim and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, demand, investigation, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: your use or misuse of locsim; your breach of these terms, including the acceptable use section; your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights or terms of service; or any content or information you provide to us.

We may take over the exclusive defence of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with us in that defence.

You confirm that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country subject to comprehensive US sanctions, and that you are not on any US government restricted-party or denied-party list. You must comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws when using locsim.

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and to participate in a class action.

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to contact us at admin@zolotaai.xyz with a short description of the dispute and the relief you want, and to give us 30 days to resolve it informally. Most problems are fixed at this stage.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or locsim will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and may be held by telephone, by video, or on written submissions unless the arbitrator decides an in-person hearing is needed. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could.

Class action waiver. You and we agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — must proceed in court, and the rest of this section still applies.

Your right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by emailing admin@zolotaai.xyz with your name, the email used at checkout, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration, within 30 days of first accepting these terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms, and we will not treat it as a reason to end your subscription.

Exceptions. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either of us may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or stop unauthorised access to our systems.

To the extent any dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial. Any claim must be brought within one year of when it arose, or it is permanently barred, unless applicable law forbids shortening that period.

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where a dispute is not subject to arbitration, you and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction whose law gives you the protection of mandatory local rules or local courts, nothing in this section removes that protection.

We may update these terms as locsim, our business, or the law changes. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page, and for material changes we will give reasonable notice — by email or in the app — before they take effect.

Continuing to use locsim after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, cancel your subscription before the change takes effect. Changes to the arbitration section do not apply retroactively to a dispute we already had notice of.

• Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about locsim, and replace any earlier understanding.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these terms or your license. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including changes made by Apple, outages at our service providers, and acts of government.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These terms do not give rights to anyone other than you and us.
• Notices. We may send you notices at the email address on your Stripe account. You may send notices to us at the address in section 21.

Questions about these terms, refunds you believe are owed, arbitration opt-outs, and formal legal notices go to admin@zolotaai.xyz. Day-to-day product support is on Telegram at @sarjxs.
