Terms of Service

By accessing or using Moves ("the Service"), operated by Moves Social Inc. ("we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Moves is a social event planning platform that allows users to create and join events, communicate through group and direct messaging, split costs among participants, and optionally synchronize with Google Calendar.

To use Moves, you must create an account with accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Each person may maintain only one account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Moves has a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive users, particularly child sexual abuse material, credible threats of violence, and targeted harassment. Accounts that post such content will be ejected from the Service and, where required by law, reported to the appropriate authorities.

Moves is a place to plan real-world events with people you know. You agree not to post, share, or otherwise transmit content that:

• Sexually exploits or abuses children in any way, including any material that constitutes child sexual abuse material (CSAM) under applicable law
• Harasses, abuses, threatens, or intimidates another person
• Contains credible threats of violence against individuals or groups
• Promotes, glorifies, or celebrates violence, self-harm, or terrorism
• Attacks or discriminates against people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or serious disease
• Is unlawful, infringes others' rights, or facilitates illegal activity including but not limited to the sale of controlled substances, weapons, or stolen goods
• Is spam, bulk unsolicited messaging, or commercial advertising
• Impersonates another person, misrepresents your identity, or deceives other users
• Attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Service or interferes with its operation

We may remove any content that violates this section or is otherwise objectionable at our sole discretion. Severe or repeated violations may result in account suspension or termination without notice.

If you encounter content or behavior that violates Section 4, report it using the in-app report button on the relevant user profile, move, chat message, or group. You can also email [email protected] directly.

We aim to review reports promptly, with a target of within 24 hours, and to act on reports we determine to violate these Terms by removing the offending content and, where appropriate, ejecting the user who posted it from the Service. Reports of suspected child sexual abuse material, credible threats of violence, and illegal activity are prioritized at the top of our review queue. We do not guarantee a specific response time for any individual report, and review times may vary with report volume, complexity, and operational circumstances.

Filing knowingly false or malicious reports is itself a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension. Reports are confidential: the reported user is not told who filed the report, though moderation decisions may reference the content that was flagged.

You retain ownership of content you create on Moves, including move details, messages, and images. By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content for the limited purpose of operating, supporting, and securing the Service.

We may remove content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable, at our sole discretion.

Content you have shared with other users (including moves you organized, messages you sent in group or direct chats, cost records, and uploaded media) may remain available to those other users after you delete your account or after your account is terminated. We may also retain certain content and account-related information for safety, legal, evidence-preservation, financial, and operational reasons, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Moves provides tools for tracking and splitting expenses among move participants and for initiating settlements between users. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, subject to Stripe's Terms of Service. By using cost-splitting and settlement features you also agree to be bound by Stripe's applicable terms.

Software platform only. Moves provides software that helps users record and reconcile expenses among themselves. We are not a bank, money transmitter, escrow agent, custodian of funds, or party to any payment between users. We do not hold, control, or guarantee user funds. Funds move directly between users through Stripe.

User responsibility. You are responsible for the accuracy of expenses you add, the splits you propose or accept, the settlements you initiate or confirm, and any taxes or reporting obligations that arise from your activity on the Service. We do not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice.

Disputes and reversals. Once a payment is initiated through Stripe it is generally final from our perspective. Refunds, chargebacks, holds, reversals, and dispute resolution are governed by Stripe's policies and the terms agreed between the parties to the transaction. We are not a party to financial disputes between users and do not adjudicate them.

Application fees. Where applicable, application fees may be charged on payments processed through the platform. Any fees that apply to a specific transaction will be disclosed before that transaction is initiated.

Suspension of payment features. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to cost-splitting and settlement features at any time, including if your activity is flagged for safety, fraud, abuse, or compliance reasons, or if Stripe restricts the underlying payment account. Stripe may also independently freeze, delay, or refuse transactions under its own policies, which we do not control.

Prohibited uses. You may not use Moves payment features to transmit funds for unlawful purposes, to evade sanctions, to launder money, to fund prohibited goods or services, or to settle obligations unrelated to the real-world events you coordinate on the Service.

Moves coordinates real-world events between users (“moves”). Interactions arranged through the Service take place between users themselves, not with us.

We do not verify users. While we require phone verification at signup and operate moderation and reporting systems, we do not perform background checks on users and we do not verify any user's identity, age, employment, affiliations, or representations beyond what is expressly disclosed in these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You should not rely on the Service as a guarantee of another user's identity, character, conduct, intentions, or suitability for any interaction.

You are responsible for your own safety. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, both online and offline. Please use good judgment, take appropriate precautions, and decide for yourself whether to communicate with, meet, or transact with any other user.

No liability for offline harms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for any conduct of users, whether on or off the Service, including but not limited to: meeting attendance or non-attendance; assault, harassment, theft, fraud, or other criminal conduct; personal injury, illness, or death; property loss, damage, or destruction; civil disputes between users; financial losses; or any other harms, damages, or outcomes arising out of or in connection with interactions, events, or transactions arranged through the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Moves. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

Moves offers optional read-only integration with Google Calendar. By connecting your Google account, you authorize us to import your calendar events for display within Moves. You may disconnect this integration at any time from your account settings. Our use of Google Calendar data is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Service, including its design, code, branding, and features, is owned by Moves Social Inc. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service as intended.

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on Moves infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it on the Service
• Your contact information (address, telephone number, and email address)
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner

Notices should be sent to our designated agent at [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA Notice,” or by mail to:

Moves Social Inc.
Attn: DMCA Agent
625 Kenmoor Ave SE, Ste 350, PMB 669136
Grand Rapids, MI 49546-2395
United States

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Misrepresentations in a DMCA notice may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.

We make no representations or warranties about the conduct, identity, or suitability of any user, the accuracy of information provided by other users, or the safety, legality, quality, or outcome of any move or interaction arranged through the Service. We do not endorse any user, content, move, group, or third-party service. Your reliance on any information available through the Service is at your own risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Moves Social Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred United States dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Moves Social Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (c) your violation of the rights of any third party, including any other user; (d) any content you post, share, or transmit through the Service; or (e) your interactions with other users, whether on or off the Service.

You may delete your account at any time from the Danger Zone section of your account settings. You may also contact us at [email protected] if you need help with deletion. The effects of deletion, including which data is removed and which data is retained, are described in our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account or access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for violation of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, risk to other users, legal compliance, or any other reason permitted by law. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including without limitation Sections 6 (User Content), 7 (Payments), 8 (Real-World Meetups), 11 (Intellectual Property), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification), 17 (Governing Law & Dispute Resolution), 18 (General), and 19 (Apple App Store) — will survive.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or to the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Informal resolution. Before filing a formal claim, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute by communicating with you in good faith.

Venue. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve the dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits either party's right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced in these Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Moves Social Inc. regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements between you and us regarding the Service.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

Force majeure. We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fires, floods, pandemics, accidents, network or service-provider failures, or strikes.

If you accessed or downloaded the Moves iOS app from the Apple App Store, you also agree to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple EULA”). These Terms supplement the Apple EULA; in the event of a conflict regarding your use of the iOS app, the Apple EULA controls only with respect to the matters it covers. You acknowledge and agree that:

• These Terms are entered into between you and Moves Social Inc., not Apple, and we (not Apple) are solely responsible for the Moves app and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the Moves app.
• In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of the app, including but not limited to product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of the app infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Apple will not be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any such claim.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes that meaningfully affect your rights or obligations, we will provide additional notice before the changes take effect, for example via in-app notice or email where available. Your continued use of Moves after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
