3. OUR ROLE IN THE OUTIES COMMUNITY

Outies is a social discovery platform that helps users find local activities, events, and interest-based groups, and connect with people who share similar interests. We are a technology provider only. We do not organize, host, supervise, verify, or participate in any activity, event, or meet-up listed on or facilitated through the Services, and we make no representations regarding the accuracy, safety, or quality of any activity, event, group, or user.

All interactions, communications, meet-ups, and transactions between users are solely between the users involved. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users and for taking reasonable precautions before, during, and after any in-person meeting arising from the Services. You agree that we are not liable for any loss, damage, injury, or harm of any kind arising from or related to your use of the Services, your interactions with other users, or your participation in any activity, event, or group discovered through the Services.

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to moderate, review, remove, edit, or refuse any user, content, activity, group, or communication on the Services at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion.

4. ACCESSING THE SERVICES AND ACCOUNT SECURITY

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services, and any content or feature we provide, in our sole discretion and without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access, including registered user access, to some parts of the Services or the entire Services.

To access certain features of the Services, you may be asked to register and provide certain information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with the Services or otherwise, including through any interactive features, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. Your account is personal to you, and you agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or any portion of it using your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account or any other breach of security. We have the right to disable any account, username, password, or other identifier at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.

5. USER CONTENT

The Services allow you to post, upload, publish, submit, or transmit content, including profile information, photos, activities, group descriptions, messages, reviews, comments, and other materials (collectively, "User Content").

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor or review User Content. We reserve the right to remove, refuse, or disable access to any User Content at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion.

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services ("Submissions"), you agree that we may use them without restriction or compensation to you, and you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use them for any purpose.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.

Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim against the Company, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by first contacting us at info@outiesapp.com with a written description of the dispute, your contact information, and the relief you seek. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you. If a dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of submission, you or the Company may bring a formal proceeding as described below.

Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the Services, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, and, unless you and we agree otherwise, in Providence County, Rhode Island. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to info@outiesapp.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Use. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration.

18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Service, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Connecticut without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Subject to Section 17 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration), any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms of Service or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Rhode Island located in the County of Providence, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Service in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

19. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

20. TERMINATION

We may terminate or suspend your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, effective immediately. Reasons for termination may include, without limitation, breach of these Terms of Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will cease immediately, and we may delete or deactivate your account and any associated User Content. Provisions of these Terms of Service that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

You may terminate your account at any time by following the account deletion instructions within the Services or by contacting us at info@outiesapp.com.

21. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, together with any documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Services.
