Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and [Company Legal Name] (“Neary”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Neary mobile application and website (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

To use Neary, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Be legally capable of entering into a binding contract.
• Not be barred from using the Service under applicable law, including export control and sanctions laws.
• Not have been previously banned or removed from the Service.

You may hold only one active account, and it must be in your own name. You are responsible for ensuring the information on your profile — including your age — is accurate.

3. Description of the Service

Neary helps people discover and connect with others who are physically nearby and available to meet, for friendship, conversation, and spontaneous social activities. Neary is not a dating or matchmaking service, is not a background-check or identity-verification service, and does not guarantee the identity, intentions, or conduct of any user. We may add, change, or remove features of the Service at any time.

4. Your Account

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Notify us immediately at contact@neary.in if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
• You may delete your account at any time from within the app; see our Privacy Policy for what happens to your data when you do.

5. User Conduct

By using Neary, you agree that you will not:

• Misrepresent your identity, age, or affiliation with any person or entity, or create an account on behalf of someone else without permission.
• Harass, threaten, stalk, or intimidate another user, or engage in conduct that is abusive, hateful, or discriminatory.
• Post or send content that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, or that infringes another person’s intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Use the Service to solicit money, sell goods or services, or run commercial promotions without our prior written consent.
• Use the Service for any illegal purpose, or to plan or promote illegal activity.
• Attempt to circumvent our safety features, blocking/reporting tools, or content moderation.
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, or use automated means to access the Service or collect information about other users.
• Upload viruses, malware, or other harmful code, or interfere with the normal operation of the Service.
• Use the Service if you have been convicted of a felony, a sex crime, or a crime involving violence, or if you are required to register as a sex offender.

We may investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates this section, including removing content, issuing warnings, and suspending or terminating accounts.

6. Safety and Your Interactions With Other Users

Neary is designed to help you meet new people in person, and we build safety features — including approximate-only location, blocking, and reporting — with that in mind. However:

• We do not conduct criminal background checks or verify the identity of users beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy.
• You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, both within the app and in person.
• We strongly recommend meeting in public places, telling a friend or family member where you’re going, and using your own judgment before meeting anyone in person or sharing personal information.
• Neary is not liable for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the Service.

If you have a negative experience with another user, please report it to us and, where appropriate, to local law enforcement.

7. User Content and License

“User Content” means anything you post, upload, or send through the Service, including your profile, photos, and messages. You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting User Content, you grant Neary a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute it solely to operate, provide, and improve the Service (for example, showing your profile to other nearby users). This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except to the extent copies reasonably persist in backups for a limited period or as retained under our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to post it and that it does not violate these Terms or any law.

8. Location Services

Core features of the Service depend on your device’s location services being enabled. By using those features, you consent to our collection and use of your location as described in our Privacy Policy. Location accuracy depends on your device and environment, and we do not guarantee its precision.

9. Reporting, Blocking, and Enforcement

You can block or report another user at any time from within the app. We may review reported content and accounts and, at our sole discretion, remove content, warn, suspend, or permanently terminate any account that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines, with or without notice.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and software (but excluding User Content), is owned by [Company Legal Name] or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended personal, non-commercial purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service, or reverse-engineer or attempt to extract its source code, except as permitted by law.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites, app stores, or sign-in providers. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, services, or privacy practices, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR IDENTITY OF ANY USER OR USER CONTENT, AND WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL MEET ANY PARTICULAR PERSON OR HAVE ANY PARTICULAR EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE SERVICE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEARY AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS — INCLUDING IN-PERSON MEETINGS ARRANGED THROUGH THE SERVICE — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED [INSERT AMOUNT, E.G. THE GREATER OF ₹5,000 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE]. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Neary and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your interactions with other users.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including User Content licensing to the extent described above, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of [insert governing jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. [Insert the business’s chosen dispute-resolution mechanism here — for example, exclusive jurisdiction of courts in a named city, or a binding-arbitration clause with the administering body, seat, and any class-action-waiver language — reviewed by counsel licensed in that jurisdiction.]

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app, by email, or by posting a notice on our website before the changes take effect. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

18. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement — these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any Community Guidelines we publish, are the entire agreement between you and Neary regarding the Service.
• Severability — if any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
• No waiver — our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be considered a waiver of that right.
• Assignment — you may not assign or transfer these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
