5. Location Information

Locations added to ShotSpot must be real, publicly accessible places. Do not add private property without the owner's permission. Do not add locations where photography is explicitly prohibited. ShotSpot is not responsible for any issues that arise from visiting locations listed in the app — always respect local laws, regulations, and property rights.
