Terms and Conditions

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to use Neary. You may not use the service if you have previously been removed from it, or if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.

• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for activity that takes place under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure.
• One person may hold one account. Accounts may not be sold, shared, or transferred.
• Tell us promptly if you believe someone has gained unauthorised access to your account.

Neary exists so that people can meet in a way that feels safe and unforced. The following are not allowed.

• Harassment, threats, hate speech, or behaviour intended to intimidate or demean another person.
• Impersonating another person, or misrepresenting your age or identity.
• Sexual content, solicitation, or treating the service as a dating or hookup platform.
• Spam, advertising, recruitment, or any commercial promotion that we have not approved.
• Sharing another person's private information, including photographs or contact details, without their consent.
• Unlawful activity, or using the service to arrange or promote it.
• Scraping, reverse engineering, automated access, or attempts to interfere with the security or normal operation of the service.

We may remove content, restrict features, suspend an account, or end access to the service where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken.

Neary helps you discover people nearby, but any decision to meet is entirely your own. We do not conduct background checks or verify the identity of every user. Please use your judgement, meet in public places, tell someone where you are going, and stop any interaction that makes you uncomfortable.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, whether online or in person. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the conduct of any user.

• Diamonds are a virtual credit used for one-off actions inside the app. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are not transferable outside the service.
• Subscriptions renew automatically for the period you selected until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through the app store or platform you purchased through, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Prices, inclusive of applicable taxes, are shown before you confirm a purchase. We may change prices for future billing periods with reasonable notice.
• Except where required by law or stated in a refund we have agreed to, payments are non-refundable, including for unused Diamonds or partly used subscription periods.
• If a purchase is made through an app store, that store's own refund and billing policies also apply.

You keep ownership of the photographs, text, and other content you post. By posting it, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display that content for the purpose of operating and improving the service. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in backups or where we are required to keep them by law.

You confirm that you have the rights necessary to post the content you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

Neary, its name, logo, design, software, and all related materials belong to us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for its intended purpose. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership to you.

We aim to keep Neary running reliably, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may add, change, suspend, or withdraw features, and we may carry out maintenance that makes the service temporarily unavailable. Where a change is significant, we will give reasonable notice unless the change is needed urgently for security or legal reasons.

You may stop using Neary and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if your conduct creates risk or legal exposure for us or other users, or if we discontinue the service. Where it is reasonable and lawful to do so, we will tell you why.

The service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will meet your requirements or that any user will be suitable, trustworthy, or as they present themselves.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising out of or connected with your use of the service.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total liability arising out of or connected with the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one thousand Indian Rupees. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your use of the service, your content, your interactions with other users, or your breach of these terms, except to the extent caused by our own wrongdoing.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or connected with these terms, subject to any mandatory rights you have as a consumer to bring proceedings elsewhere.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us at contact [at] neary.in so that we can try to resolve the matter directly.

We may update these terms as the service develops or the law changes. If a change is material, we will give notice in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Neary after that point means you accept the revised terms.

Questions about these terms can be sent to contact [at] neary.in.
