Terms of Service
Important
These Terms govern your use of GotPlans. They are written to be readable, but they still form a legal agreement. Please read them carefully, especially the sections about real-world events, dispute resolution, and limitations of liability.
1. Acceptance of Terms
GotPlans (the "App," "GotPlans," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Got Plans LLC (the "Company"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply when you create an account, access, or use GotPlans.
By creating an account or using GotPlans, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use GotPlans.
2. Eligibility (18+)
GotPlans is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the App. By using GotPlans, you represent that you are at least 18.
We may collect your date of birth or other age-related information to help confirm eligibility. We may suspend or terminate an account if we reasonably believe the account belongs to someone under 18 or if age information is false.
3. Your Account
You are responsible for providing accurate information, keeping your login credentials secure, and for activity that occurs through your account. Keep one account per person, do not share your account, and notify us promptly if you believe someone has accessed it without permission.
You may not impersonate another person, create a misleading identity, or falsely claim an affiliation with a person, organization, venue, or business.
4. Acceptable Use & Prohibited Conduct
You agree to use GotPlans lawfully and respectfully. You may not use GotPlans to post, send, organize, promote, or facilitate content or conduct that is unlawful, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, discriminatory, defamatory, sexually explicit or exploitative, fraudulent, deceptive, or invasive of another person's privacy.
You also may not: infringe intellectual-property rights; impersonate others; solicit, scam, or defraud users; spam users or post unauthorized promotional content; scrape, harvest, sell, or improperly collect user data; use bots or unauthorized automated means to access the App; interfere with the App's security or operation; attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data; or use GotPlans to facilitate illegal activity or harm to another person.
We may investigate suspected violations and may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, or take other reasonable action to protect users and the service.
5. User Content & License
You keep ownership of content you create or submit, such as profile information, photos, messages, event details, reviews, circle and community information, and other material ("User Content").
By posting User Content, you give Got Plans LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, display, distribute, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, provide, secure, and promote GotPlans. This license ends when the content is deleted from our systems, except where retention is reasonably necessary for legal, safety, backup, fraud-prevention, or technical purposes, or where content has been shared with others and remains part of their interactions.
You are responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights needed to share it. Do not upload content that violates another person's rights or applicable law.
6. Moderation, Reporting & Blocking
GotPlans does not permit objectionable content or abusive behavior. The App may provide tools to report users, content, events, circles, communities, or other activity and to block other users.
We review reports and take appropriate action as reasonably practicable based on the nature and severity of the issue. Actions may include removing content, limiting visibility or features, suspending or terminating accounts, or referring matters to appropriate authorities when warranted.
We may use automated tools, human review, or both to help detect and moderate content. No moderation system is perfect, and we cannot guarantee that all objectionable, inaccurate, or harmful content will be detected or removed immediately.
If you believe there is an immediate threat to someone's safety, contact local emergency services rather than relying only on an in-app report.
7. Events, Activities & In-Person Safety
GotPlans helps people discover, organize, and participate in real-world activities and meetups. Meeting people in person carries risks. You are responsible for deciding whether an event, activity, venue, host, or other participant is appropriate for you.
Unless GotPlans expressly states otherwise for a particular event, GotPlans is not the organizer, sponsor, operator, venue, transportation provider, or provider of an event or activity listed through the service. An event may be created by a user, host, venue, business, community organizer, or third party.
GotPlans does not routinely conduct criminal background checks or independently investigate every user, host, attendee, venue, event, or activity. Use good judgment. Meet in public when appropriate, tell someone where you are going, arrange safe transportation, protect your belongings, and follow applicable laws and venue rules.
To the extent permitted by law, you assume the ordinary risks associated with attending or hosting real-world activities, including risks involving personal injury, illness, food or alcohol, transportation, property loss or damage, theft, cancellations, venue conditions, weather, sports or physical activity, and the conduct of other people.
GotPlans is not a party to interactions between users merely because those users discovered each other or an event through GotPlans.
8. Hosts & Event Organizers
If you create, host, organize, or publish an event or activity through GotPlans, you are responsible for the information you provide and for conducting the event lawfully and responsibly.
You agree to provide materially accurate event details; have any permissions reasonably required to use a venue or organize the activity; comply with applicable laws, permits, licensing requirements, age restrictions, health and safety rules, and venue policies; clearly disclose material costs, requirements, risks, or restrictions; and avoid falsely suggesting that GotPlans, a venue, or another organization sponsors or endorses your event.
You are responsible for your own acts and omissions as a host or organizer. GotPlans may remove or restrict an event or organizer when we reasonably believe it creates a safety, legal, fraud, or policy risk.
9. Verification Does Not Guarantee Safety
GotPlans may offer identity, photo, phone, email, social, business, or other verification features. A verification indicator means only that the specific verification step described by GotPlans was completed.
Verification is not a criminal background check, safety certification, endorsement, or guarantee that a user, host, venue, business, event, or activity is trustworthy, accurate, compatible, or safe. You should still use your own judgment.
10. Recommendations, Matching & Automated Features
GotPlans may use automated systems, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and other recommendation technologies to suggest people, activities, events, circles, communities, venues, or other content based on information associated with your account and use of the service.
Recommendations are provided for discovery and convenience. They do not constitute an endorsement, professional advice, safety determination, verification, or guarantee of compatibility, availability, quality, or outcome.
Automated recommendations can be incomplete or wrong. You remain responsible for evaluating recommendations and deciding whether to interact with another user or participate in an activity.
11. Venues, Listings & Third-Party Information
Information about venues, businesses, events, prices, hours, availability, accessibility, menus, locations, or other third-party offerings may come from users, venues, public sources, or third-party providers. That information can change without notice.
GotPlans does not guarantee that third-party information is complete, current, accurate, safe, or suitable for you. Before relying on important details, confirm them with the venue, host, or relevant provider.
12. Third-Party Services
GotPlans may rely on or link to third-party services for functions such as authentication, database storage, messaging, maps, location or venue search, analytics, notifications, payments, or other features. Those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy practices.
We are not responsible for third-party services, their content, their availability, or actions they take outside GotPlans. A link or integration does not necessarily mean GotPlans endorses that third party.
13. Payments, Paid Events & Subscriptions
GotPlans may introduce paid events, host fees, subscriptions, or other paid features. If a paid feature is offered, the price, material terms, applicable cancellation or refund rules, and any recurring nature of the charge will be disclosed before purchase.
Payments may be processed by an app store or third-party payment provider and may also be subject to that provider's terms. Where required by law, recurring subscriptions will be offered only with the disclosures, consent, renewal notices, and cancellation methods required by applicable law.
If GotPlans is not currently offering a particular paid feature, this section does not create an obligation to offer it.
14. Intellectual Property
The GotPlans name, logos, branding, software, interface, design, and content created by or for GotPlans, excluding User Content and third-party content, are owned by Got Plans LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Except as allowed by law or with our written permission, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, license, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from protected parts of the service.
15. Termination & Account Deletion
You may stop using GotPlans at any time and may delete your account using the account-deletion feature provided in the App. We handle personal information associated with deletion as described in our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created a legal or safety risk, engaged in fraud or abuse, or if we discontinue all or part of the service.
Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination, including provisions concerning licenses already exercised, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution, will survive.
16. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOTPLANS IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not promise that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, accurate, or error-free, or that any recommendation, user, host, event, venue, activity, interaction, or relationship will meet your expectations.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOT PLANS LLC AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR SIMILAR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF GOTPLANS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF USERS, HOSTS, ATTENDEES, VENUES, BUSINESSES, OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES, OR FOR INJURY, LOSS, DAMAGE, OR DISPUTES ARISING FROM AN EVENT OR IN-PERSON INTERACTION.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including rights and remedies available under mandatory consumer-protection laws.
18. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Got Plans LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal expenses arising from your User Content, your event or activity, your misuse of GotPlans, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights.
This section does not apply to the extent an indemnification obligation is prohibited by applicable consumer law.
19. Governing Law & Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.
Subject to Section 20, disputes not required to be arbitrated will be brought in a court with appropriate jurisdiction in San Diego County, California, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
If you are a consumer, this choice of law and venue does not deprive you of mandatory protections provided by the law of your country or state of residence.
20. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO FILE CERTAIN CLAIMS IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you and Got Plans LLC agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days. A user may send written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to info@gotplans.co. If the Company has a dispute with you, we may send notice to the email address associated with your account.
Binding arbitration. If a dispute is not resolved informally, you and Got Plans LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except as stated below. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under the rules applicable to the dispute. Arbitration may be conducted by phone, video, written submissions, or in person as permitted by the applicable rules and law. The arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Class-action waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and Got Plans LLC agree to bring claims against each other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over a class or representative proceeding unless applicable law requires otherwise. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that portion may be severed while the remaining claims proceed as required by applicable law.
Jury-trial waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and Got Plans LLC waive the right to a jury trial for disputes covered by this arbitration agreement.
Exceptions. This section does not require arbitration of an individual claim that qualifies for small-claims court, or a claim seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use, infringement, or misuse of intellectual property.
Right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after first accepting these Terms by emailing info@gotplans.co with your name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect the rest of these Terms.
Where this section does not apply. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction where a pre-dispute binding arbitration agreement or class-action waiver is prohibited or unenforceable, those portions do not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
21. EU/EEA & Other Mandatory Consumer Rights
If you are a consumer in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protections, you retain rights that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms is intended to override those rights.
Where applicable law provides you with mandatory rights concerning dispute resolution, remedies, contract terms, digital services, privacy, or consumer protection, those rights continue to apply. GotPlans does not require use of the discontinued European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
22. Accessibility
We want GotPlans to be usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to consider recognized accessibility guidance, including WCAG, as we design and update the service.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. If you have difficulty using GotPlans because of a disability, want to report an accessibility barrier, or need information in an alternative format, contact info@gotplans.co and describe the difficulty and, if possible, the screen or feature involved. We will make reasonable efforts to review the request and provide an appropriate response or accommodation.
This accessibility statement does not waive or limit rights available under applicable disability or accessibility law.
23. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice when required by law or when reasonably appropriate, such as through the App or by email.
Where applicable law requires new consent to a material change, we will request it. Otherwise, continued use of GotPlans after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
24. General Terms
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. Got Plans LLC may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.
These Terms, together with policies expressly incorporated by reference, form the agreement between you and Got Plans LLC concerning your use of GotPlans.
