Meet Around's trademarks, logos, and branding are protected and may not be used without written permission.

6. Safety and Real-Life Meetings

Meet Around is designed to help people connect, but users meet offline entirely at their own risk. The platform is not responsible for user behavior during in-person meetings.

Meet Around does not conduct background checks, verify user identities, or screen users in any way. We make no representations or warranties about the character, intentions, reliability, or trustworthiness of any user. You are solely responsible for your own safety when interacting with other users, whether online or offline.

Safety recommendations:

• Meet in public places during daytime hours
• Inform a trusted friend or family member of your plans
• Do not share financial information or send money
• Trust your instincts and leave if you feel uncomfortable
• Report suspicious behavior immediately

Users who engage in harmful, fraudulent, or illegal behavior toward other users may face account termination and may be reported to law enforcement authorities.

7. Platform Role and User Responsibility

Meet Around provides a technology platform that enables users to connect with each other. We do not participate in, supervise, direct, or control any interactions between users, whether conducted online through the app or offline in person.

Users are independent individuals who are solely responsible for:

• Their own communications, messages, and content
• Their conduct and behavior toward other users
• Any meetings, activities, or arrangements they make with other users
• Verifying the identity and intentions of other users before meeting
• Their own personal safety and wellbeing
• Compliance with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction

By using Meet Around, you acknowledge that other users are independent third parties whose actions, statements, and behavior are entirely beyond our control. Meet Around is not an agent, representative, or intermediary for any user.

8. Assumption of Risk

You understand and expressly agree that your use of Meet Around and any interactions with other users involve inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to:

• Physical harm or injury
• Emotional or psychological distress
• Property damage, theft, or loss
• Financial loss or fraud
• Exposure to offensive, inappropriate, or harmful content
• Misrepresentation by other users
• Criminal conduct by other users

You voluntarily assume all such risks, both known and unknown, arising from your use of the Platform and your interactions with other users. You agree that Meet Around shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or harm resulting from such risks.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release and discharge Meet Around, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, or expenses arising from or related to your interactions with other users.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Meet Around, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and court costs) arising from or related to:

• Your use of the Platform or any services provided through it

Personal data is handled according to our Privacy Policy, which complies with GDPR and Austrian data protection law.

Meet Around does not track or store your live location. Post locations are randomized within approximately 500 meters to protect privacy.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Meet Around is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

• The Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
• The Platform will meet your requirements or expectations
• Any information provided through the Platform is accurate or reliable
• Any defects in the Platform will be corrected
• Other users are who they claim to be or will behave appropriately

Meet Around is not liable for:

• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill
• User-generated content or user behavior, whether online or offline
• Any interactions, disputes, or incidents between users
• Third-party services, websites, or links
• Data loss, service interruptions, or technical failures
• Any harm arising from your reliance on information from other users

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed €100 or the total amount you paid in subscription fees during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

12. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

These Terms are governed by Austrian law. For users who are consumers residing in the EU, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer protection provisions in your country of residence.

Consumers may bring legal proceedings in the courts of their country of residence or in Austrian courts. Non-consumer disputes will be resolved in Austrian courts with jurisdiction in Vienna.

EU users may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Disputes Between Users

Any disputes, claims, or controversies between users shall be resolved directly between the users involved. Meet Around is not a party to any dispute between users and has no obligation to mediate, arbitrate, or resolve such disputes. You agree not to involve Meet Around in any litigation or claims arising from your interactions with other users.

13. Changes to These Terms

Meet Around may update these Terms from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated with at least 30 days notice through the app, email, or website.

Continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.
