By using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. Meet Around is operated by Noerix OÜ, an Estonian-registered company. The service is currently free; if paid features are introduced in the future they will be processed exclusively through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Meet Around is a social platform for sharing ideas and meeting people through a live, map-based interface. Users must use the service lawfully and responsibly.
Prohibited content and activities include:
Users must be 16 years or older to use Meet Around. Users must confirm their date of birth during registration; users below the minimum age will not be permitted to complete registration. Meet Around relies on user-provided information and is not responsible for users who provide false age information.
All users must provide a valid email address and complete email verification during registration.
To create an account, you must provide:
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Users can delete their accounts at any time through Settings → Profile → Delete Account, or by contacting support.
Meet Around reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Users may appeal an account decision within 14 days by contacting meet-support@meet-around.com.
Basic features of Meet Around are free to use. If we introduce premium features in the future, they will be available exclusively through subscription plans handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and will auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date.
Meet Around does not store or process payment instruments. Refunds for any future paid features will be subject to EU consumer law and to Apple's and Google's own store policies. To request a refund, contact the respective app store or meet-support@meet-around.com.
Users retain ownership of content they post on Meet Around but grant Meet Around a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, distribute, and adapt that content as necessary to provide the service.
Users are solely responsible for their content and must ensure they have the necessary rights to share it. Users must respect others' intellectual property rights and report any infringement to legal@meet-around.com.
Meet Around's trademarks, logos, and branding are protected and may not be used without written permission.
For purposes of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), copyright owners or their authorized agents may submit takedown notices to Meet Around's Designated Agent:
DMCA Designated Agent — Noerix OÜ
Telliskivi 57, 10412 Tallinn, Estonia
Email: legal@meet-around.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")
A registration with the U.S. Copyright Office (Office of Designated Agents) accompanies this designation.
A valid takedown notice must include the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient information to locate it; the complainant's contact details; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and the complainant is authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf; and a physical or electronic signature.

Outside the United States, copyright and other intellectual property complaints may be sent to legal@meet-around.com with the subject line "IP Notice." We act on substantiated complaints under the EU Copyright Directive (2019/790), the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), and applicable local law.
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 on users. Optional identity verification is described in our Privacy Policy and is intended only as a friction-reducing trust signal — it is not a guarantee of safety, intent, or character. We make no representations or warranties about the trustworthiness of any user. You are solely responsible for your own safety when interacting with other users, online or offline.
Safety recommendations:
Users who engage in harmful, fraudulent, or illegal behavior may face account termination and may be reported to law-enforcement authorities.
In compliance with Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), any person — whether a Meet Around user or not — may report content that they consider illegal under EU or Member State law. Reports may be submitted via the in-app "Report" button on every Talk, message, profile, or comment, or by email to legal@meet-around.com with the subject line "DSA Illegal Content Notice." Reports should include (i) sufficiently substantiated reasons why the content is illegal, (ii) a precise indication of where the content is located, (iii) the reporter's name and email (anonymous reports are accepted but cannot receive a status update), and (iv) confirmation of the reporter's good-faith belief.
We acknowledge receipt of every notice without undue delay, decide and act in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner, and inform the reporter of the decision. Users whose content is restricted are notified of the restriction and the reasons for it, and may submit an internal complaint within six months. Repeat infringers are subject to suspension. We publish moderation transparency reports as required by Articles 15 and 24 of the DSA.
For authorities and trusted flaggers under DSA Articles 11 and 12, our Single Point of Contact is legal@meet-around.com. Communications may be in English or Estonian.
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:
By using Meet Around, you acknowledge that other users are independent third parties whose actions are entirely beyond our control. Meet Around is not an agent, representative, or intermediary for any user.
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:
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 Noerix OÜ, 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.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Noerix OÜ, 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:
This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of your account and these Terms.
Personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which complies with the EU GDPR, the Estonian Personal Data Protection Act, and applicable US state privacy laws. The Privacy Policy describes (a) the operating-system permissions the app requests (camera, location, photos, notifications), (b) the third-party SDKs in use (Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Storage, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, Mapbox, Google ML Kit Face Detection, and Google Analytics for Firebase), (c) how identity-verification photos are handled, and (d) your rights and how to exercise them.
Read the current Privacy Policy at www.meet-around.com/Home/Privacy.
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:
Meet Around is not liable for:
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.
These Terms are governed by Estonian 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 Estonian courts. Non-consumer disputes will be resolved in Estonian courts with jurisdiction in Tallinn.
EU users may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
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.
This Section 12.1 applies only to users who reside in the United States. If you reside in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or any jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection law would render this clause unenforceable, this Section 12.1 does not apply to you and Section 12 (above) governs.
Arbitration agreement. You and Noerix OÜ agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory — shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and may be held by videoconference unless either party requests an in-person hearing in New York, NY. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. The arbitrator — not any court — shall decide all questions of arbitrability, including whether any portion of this Section is enforceable.
Class action and jury trial waiver. You and Noerix OÜ waive any right to a jury trial and waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only on an individual basis and may not consolidate more than one person's claims. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the class-action waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall be severed and proceed in court; the remainder shall remain in arbitration on an individual basis.
Small-claims carve-out. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court located in the U.S. county of your residence, provided the claim qualifies for that court's jurisdiction.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to legal@meet-around.com with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your full name, email, and date of acceptance. Opting out has no effect on any other provision of these Terms.
Severability of this Section. If the class-action waiver above is found unenforceable, the remainder of this Section 12.1 (including the individual-arbitration agreement) shall remain in effect. If any other portion of this Section is found unenforceable, it shall be severed and the rest shall remain in effect.
Meet Around may update these Terms from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated with at least 30 days' notice through the app, by email, or on the website. Continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
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.
Meet Around shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms caused by events outside our reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic or public-health emergency, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, embargo, internet or telecommunications failure, power outage, cyberattack including distributed denial-of-service attacks, third-party service-provider failure (including App Store, Play Store, Firebase, Mapbox, or our hosting provider), or any other cause beyond our reasonable foresight or control. During any such event we will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore service. This Section does not relieve you of any obligation to pay amounts due.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, constitute the entire agreement between you and Noerix OÜ regarding the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals on the same subject. In the event of a conflict between these documents, these Terms prevail, except where the Privacy Policy specifically governs handling of personal data, in which case the Privacy Policy prevails to that extent. App-store-specific terms imposed by Apple or Google on you (such as Apple's End User License Agreement or Google Play's Terms of Service) apply in addition to these Terms; if there is a direct conflict, the relevant store's terms prevail to the extent they cannot be waived.
You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email to the address on your account, through in-app messages, push notifications you have enabled, and posts on our website. Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. We may give you required notices by any of these channels, and notice is deemed received when sent. To give us notice, write to Noerix OÜ at the postal address in Section 18 or email legal@meet-around.com; notice is deemed received when we acknowledge receipt or after seven calendar days, whichever is earlier.
