Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Joinue, a platform for discovering and coordinating events. By using Joinue, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.

You must be at least 16 years old (or older, where your country sets a higher minimum) to use Joinue. When you create an account, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

If you’re creating an account on behalf of a business or organization, you confirm you have authority to do so.

You’re responsible for your account activity and for keeping your login secure.

Don’t impersonate others, use fake identities, or violate laws with your account.

Joinue may remove or suspend accounts that violate these terms.

You may use Joinue for lawful, personal, or business purposes in line with the acceptable-use rules in these Terms.

You may not:

• Post harmful, illegal, abusive, or fraudulent content
• Interfere with the platform's operation
• Attempt to hack, reverse-engineer, or scrape Joinue

Joinue provides messaging features to help users coordinate events and communicate. By using these features, you agree to communicate respectfully and lawfully.

Prohibited messaging content includes:

• Hate speech, discrimination, or content targeting protected groups
• Threats, harassment, bullying, or intimidation
• Content that promotes violence or illegal activities
• Sexually explicit or inappropriate content
• Spam, scams, phishing, or fraudulent schemes
• Content that exploits or endangers minors
• Sharing others' private information without consent
• Coordinating illegal activities or substance sales

We reserve the right to review reported content and take action including content removal, warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent account termination based on severity and pattern of violations.

Zero tolerance: There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on Joinue. When you report objectionable content or an abusive user, we will review the report and remove the content and eject the user where appropriate within 24 hours. You can report a person, a message, or an event, and you can block any user, using the tools throughout the app.

Your responsibility: If you encounter content that violates these terms, you should report it using the in-app reporting feature. Reports help us maintain a safe community.

Our rights: We may (but are not obligated to) monitor, review, or analyze messages and content for safety and compliance purposes. We may use automated tools to detect potential violations.

Data retention: Messages and content may be retained for a reasonable period to investigate reports, comply with legal obligations, or enforce these terms, even after deletion from your view.

False reports: Submitting false or malicious reports to harass other users is a violation of these terms and may result in action against your account.

We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion for violations of these terms, including but not limited to:

• Repeated violations after warnings
• Severe single violations (threats, illegal content, harassment)
• Attempts to circumvent moderation or bans
• Creating multiple accounts to evade suspension

Account termination may be immediate for severe violations. We are not required to provide advance notice or explanation, though we will generally attempt to do so when reasonable.

Joinue does not organize or guarantee any events.

Events are created by users, and Joinue is not responsible for the accuracy, safety, legality, or outcome of any event.

Users attend events at their own risk. We don’t screen hosts or attendees.

We encourage users to report inappropriate content or behavior.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle data.

We use your data to provide event discovery features. We do not sell personal data.

By using Joinue, you consent to data use as described in our privacy policy.

Joinue is provided “as-is” and “as available.”

We don’t guarantee the service will be error-free, always online, or meet every expectation.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the service at any time.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Joinue and its creators are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the app, including lost data, event issues, injuries at events, or third-party behavior.

You use the app at your own risk, especially when attending events or meeting people.

You agree to indemnify and hold Joinue harmless from any claims, losses, or damages resulting from:

• Your content or activity on the app
• Your events or interactions with others
• Violations of these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the new terms.

Major changes will be clearly communicated.

You retain ownership of any content you create or upload to Joinue, including events, messages, photos, and profile information.

By posting content on Joinue, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

• Display your content to other users as part of the service
• Include your content in notifications, emails, and other communications related to events
• Store, cache, and backup your content for service operation
• Use aggregated, anonymized data for analytics and service improvement

This license exists only to operate and improve Joinue. We will not sell your content or use it for advertising without your explicit permission.

When you delete content or your account, we will remove it from public view. Some content may be retained in backups or as required for legal compliance, but will not be actively used.

We respect intellectual property rights and expect you to do the same. Don’t post content you don’t have the right to share.

If you believe content on Joinue infringes your copyright, send a notice to our copyright agent at legal@joinue.com that includes:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed
• Identification of the infringing material and where it is on Joinue (a link is best)
• Your name, address, phone number, and email
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

We remove infringing material promptly, and we may disable or terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with the material identified, your contact information, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any legal action or proceeding relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Arizona, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

Informal Resolution: Before filing any legal claim, you agree to contact us at legal@joinue.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Small Claims Exception: Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
