Terms of Use

1. General provisions

The website available at postcodesmap.co.uk is intended solely for informational and educational purposes.

Use of the search function, the maps and the county and nation overviews is entirely voluntary, free of charge and requires no user registration.

2. Rules for using the database and maps

Users may search the postcode database to find the associated town or city, street, or post office. Map data is provided on the basis of the OpenStreetMap project, whose licence terms are observed by this website.

Automated downloading (scraping) of the entire database using scripts or bots is prohibited, as this places unnecessary load on the servers and may impair the normal operation of the service for other users.

3. Disclaimer - no guarantee on data

We make every effort to keep the postcodes and the areas shown on the maps as accurate as possible. Please note the following:

• The boundary polygons and postcode areas are shown for orientation purposes only and do not represent the official legal or administrative boundaries of the United Kingdom.
• This website is neither an official government register nor affiliated with Royal Mail. Authoritative postcode data should always be verified via the Royal Mail or the Ordnance Survey.
• The website operator accepts no liability for incorrectly addressed mail, logistical errors, or any other material loss arising from inaccuracies in the database.

4. Complaints and error reports

If you find that a postcode has been assigned incorrectly, or that a new street is missing from the database, please send us a brief email.
