V.I.B.E.S. Terms of Use


These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the V.I.B.E.S. mobile application, websites, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by [V.I.B.E.S., Inc.] (“V.I.B.E.S.,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.

If you downloaded V.I.B.E.S. from the Apple App Store, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. If you downloaded from Google Play, Google’s applicable terms may also apply.

1) What “V.I.B.E.S.” includes

“V.I.B.E.S.” means:

  • our mobile apps (iOS/Android) and any app updates;

  • our websites and subdomains;

  • our APIs and developer tools;

  • all content, documentation, sample code, and materials we provide; and

  • the Services as a whole.

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between you and V.I.B.E.S.

2) Who can use V.I.B.E.S. (Eligibility & Export Controls)

To use the Services, you confirm that:

  • You are 18 or older.

  • You are not located in a country or region subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as “terrorist-supporting.”

  • You are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

If you do not meet these conditions, you may not use V.I.B.E.S.

3) Your account

Registration. Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it current.
Security. Keep your credentials confidential and use a strong password. You’re responsible for all activity under your account.
Notify us. If you suspect unauthorized use or a security breach, contact help@getvibesapp.com immediately.
One person, one account. Unless we say otherwise, you may maintain only one account and may not sell, share, or transfer it.

4) Ending, suspending, or deleting accounts

  • Your choice. You can delete your account at any time in-app or by emailing help@getvibesapp.com.

  • Our rights. We may suspend or delete accounts at our discretion and without notice if we believe you violated these Terms, posed a risk to others, or to protect the platform.

  • Fees. Suspension or deletion for your breach doesn’t relieve you of any owed fees (if applicable) or entitle you to refunds.

5) Your content & license to V.I.B.E.S.

Your rights. You own the content you create and share (posts, events, photos/videos, chats, reactions, etc.).
Your license to us. To operate and improve the Services, you grant V.I.B.E.S. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, display, distribute, and create derivative works of your content solely to provide, operate, promote, and improve the Services (including making public items discoverable).
Moral rights. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any moral rights you may have in your content as necessary for us to provide the Services.
Your assurances. You represent that you have all rights necessary to post your content and that it doesn’t violate law or others’ rights.

6) What others can see (Content visibility)

  • Public content. Content you mark or publish as public (e.g., public events or posts) may be seen by anyone on or off V.I.B.E.S., appear in search results, and be shared externally.

  • Private content. Messages and private/group chats are visible to participants, who may still copy, save, or re-share them.

  • Attribution. Your profile info (e.g., name, username, photo) may appear with your content.

7) Content we provide (Our IP) and your limited license

V.I.B.E.S. and its licensors own all rights to the platform, software, visuals, logos, trademarks, and content we provide. We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the app and Services in accordance with these Terms. We do not grant rights to our source code. We may release updates you need to install to continue using the app.

8) Acceptable use (Play nice, stay safe)

You may not:

  • break the law or infringe others’ rights (privacy, IP, publicity, etc.);

  • harass, threaten, dox, or encourage violence;

  • post illegal, hateful, exploitative, sexually explicit, or otherwise prohibited content;

  • spam, phish, or run unauthorized promotions;

  • scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, or circumvent security;

  • interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Services;

  • post others’ private/confidential info without permission;

  • use bots or automated means to create accounts or access the Services.

We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend/terminate accounts to protect users and the platform.

9) Safety—online and IRL

V.I.B.E.S. helps you discover people, businesses, and events nearby, but we don’t organize, screen, or supervisemeetups or venues. Exercise judgment and take precautions. You’re solely responsible for your interactions and personal safety.

10) Moderation, reporting & takedowns

We don’t promise to monitor everything, but we may review and act on reports at our discretion. You can report violations in-app.

DMCA (U.S. copyright)

If you believe content infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice with the elements required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)to help@getvibesapp.com (Subject: “DMCA Notice”). If a report is valid, we may remove the content and, where appropriate, disable repeat infringers’ accounts. Submitting false claims may carry legal consequences.

If content available via the Apple App Store is deemed objectionable under Apple policies, we will act promptly (generally within 24 hours) to remove it and/or restrict the responsible account.

11) Third-party links, content, and resources

The Services may show ads, links, promotions, or content from third parties. We don’t control or endorse third-party sites or services and are not responsible for their content, policies, or actions. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

12) APIs & developer tools

If you access your V.I.B.E.S. data via our API, your use is subject to these Terms and any API-specific rules we publish. We are not liable for third-party products/services that access V.I.B.E.S. via our API.

13) Purchases, subscriptions, and app stores (if offered)

Some features may be paid. If you purchase through Apple or Google:

  • charges are billed to your app-store account;

  • subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends;

  • renewal charges may post within 24 hours before renewal;

  • manage/cancel in your app-store account settings;

  • store terms may govern and can prevail on conflicts.

Except as required by law, purchases are non-refundable once delivered or the period begins. Taxes may apply.

14) Service changes & availability

We may improve, update, or discontinue features at any time. The Services may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, outages, or events beyond our control (e.g., network failures, blackouts, force majeure).

15) Privacy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy (18+). Please review it carefully. If these Terms conflict with the Privacy Policy on a data-use point, the Privacy Policy controls for that point.

16) Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless V.I.B.E.S. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
(a) your content; (b) your use of the Services; (c) your breach of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

17) Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or accurate, or that defects will be corrected.

18) Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, V.I.B.E.S. AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations; portions of this section may not apply.

19) Term; survival

These Terms apply from the moment you accept them and continue until ended by you or us. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., licenses granted by you, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnities, IP ownership, governing law) survive termination.

20) Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we’ll change the “Last Updated” date and, if changes are material, provide additional notice (e.g., in-app). Continued use after changes means you accept the new Terms. If you don’t agree, stop using the Services and delete your account.

21) Assignment

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms (e.g., in a merger or sale) with notice where required by law. You may not assign your rights or obligations without our prior written consent.

22) Severability; no waiver; entire agreement

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a right isn’t a waiver. These Terms (plus any policies referenced, like the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and V.I.B.E.S. regarding the Services and supersede prior understandings.

23) Governing law & venue (U.S.)

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law. Exclusive venue for disputes is the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas (except where applicable law provides you a different consumer venue). Each party waives trial by jury. Claims must be brought individually (no class actions) to the extent permitted by law.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction with mandatory protections that conflict with this section, those protections prevail where required.

24) App-store terms & third-party beneficiaries

  • Apple. You acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for support or maintenance of the iOS app, any product warranties (unless required by law), or for claims that the app fails to conform to legal requirements. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them.

  • Google. Google’s standard terms apply to apps obtained via Google Play.
