Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Coterie mobile app and related features (the "Service"). The Service is operated by Coterie ("we," "us," or "our"). Creating an account or using the Service signals your acceptance of these Terms; if you do not accept them, please stop using the Service.
1. Acceptance and eligibility
At entry, you enter your birth year and state that you are 18 or older. Anyone who does not satisfy this is blocked from the Service. The birth-year check establishes the age you state; it is not a verification of who you are. By using the Service, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and current and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
Coterie is available to people in the United States. Those outside the United States are not meant to use the Service; if you do so anyway, you act on your own and remain bound by these Terms and applicable law.
2. Accounts
You sign in with Sign in with Apple and are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Keep your sign-in information secure and notify us at feedback@coterietie.com if you believe your account has been compromised. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that create risk for other members.
3. Purchases, subscriptions, and in-app purchases
This version of Coterie is free to use and does not offer paid features. If we introduce paid features or subscriptions, they will be described in the app, the price and renewal terms will be shown before purchase, and any purchase made through the App Store will be governed by Apple's terms, billing, and refund policies.
4. User content
What you create stays yours. Where the Service receives or keeps that content, you give us permission to hold it, show it, and share it as required to run the Service, without exclusivity or payment. You may not post content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful, or that identifies or targets another person without permission. We may remove content that violates these Terms and may limit or terminate access for repeated or serious violations. Content reflects the views of its author and is not professional advice.
5. Intellectual property and limited license
Coterie and its materials are owned by us and our licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the app. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the app except as permitted by law. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation.
6. Apple terms
- You are contracting with us, not Apple, and Apple has no duty to provide or support the Service.
- You may use the app only on Apple devices in your possession or under your control, consistent with the App Store rules.
- Maintenance and support are not Apple's responsibility.
- Apple does not answer for claims, losses, or warranties tied to the app.
- Where the app does not meet a warranty, you may let Apple know and seek a refund of the price paid, when such a refund is available.
- Apple together with its subsidiaries is a third-party beneficiary and may enforce these Terms against you.
- Any third-party terms that apply must be followed while you use the app.
- Claims concerning the app — including product liability, non-compliance with legal requirements, and intellectual-property claims — are ours to address.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS FURNISHED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" FOOTING. TO THE FULLEST DEGREE ALLOWED, NO WARRANTIES ATTACH TO IT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND WE MAKE NO PROMISE THAT IT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF DEFECTS.
8. Limitation of liability
SO FAR AS THE LAW PERMITS, WE OWE NOTHING FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE HARM, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOST GOODWILL, THAT COMES OUT OF OR RELATES TO THE SERVICE. IF A CLAIM IS MADE, THE MOST WE CAN OWE IS THE LARGER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US OVER THE YEAR BEFORE THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS. LIABILITY THAT THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO LIMIT REMAINS OUTSIDE THIS CAP.
9. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your content or your violation of these Terms, except where caused by our own unlawful conduct.
10. Governing law
Delaware state law controls these Terms, and its conflict-of-law rules do not apply, unless a consumer law where you live cannot be waived and says otherwise.
11. Dispute resolution and arbitration
First, reach us through the support channel and let us try to work the problem out with you before anything is filed.
Should that fail, the dispute is decided by binding arbitration between the parties individually rather than in any group form. It is run by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, placed before one arbitrator, with the hearing seated in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator has the power to award whatever relief a court could give to a single claimant. The Rules' safeguards for consumers, including remote participation and local-hearing rights, are preserved.
WHERE PERMITTED, NEITHER OF US WILL ASK FOR A JURY, AND CLAIMS CAN ONLY BE PURSUED ONE PERSON AT A TIME. BRINGING OR JOINING A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IS NOT ALLOWED.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking relief in small-claims court, seeking injunctive relief, or enforcing intellectual-property rights in court. If mandatory law makes arbitration or a waiver unavailable, the appropriate courts may hear the dispute.
12. Changes to these Terms
These Terms may be revised as the Service changes. Material changes will be shown in the app or through the published terms channel before they take effect. Keeping the Service after the change takes effect means you accept the revision.
