LinkUp Terms of Service

LinkUp is designed to help people connect with friends and family, discover activities, and organize enjoyable group hangouts. Users are expected to treat others with respect, act responsibly, follow applicable laws, and help create a safe and welcoming environment.

LinkUp provides planning, discovery, and communication tools. LinkUp does not organize, host, sponsor, or supervise any activity or meetup. Users organize, invite others to, and attend activities on their own behalf and at their own responsibility. Nothing in these terms makes LinkUp a party to any plan created by users.

LinkUp helps users discover places and coordinate meetups, but it does not control every activity, location, business, or person encountered during a meetup.

In-person activities may involve risks, including personal injury, illness, accidents, theft, property damage, transportation risks, or interactions with other individuals.

You are responsible for evaluating the risks of each activity, choosing whether to participate, following applicable laws and venue rules, and making decisions about your personal safety.

LinkUp suggestions are intended to help users discover activities. They are not guarantees that a venue, activity, or meeting is safe or suitable for every person.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you voluntarily assume the ordinary and reasonably foreseeable risks associated with your participation in activities and meetups arranged through LinkUp.

This provision does not waive or exclude liability that cannot legally be waived, including any liability that applicable law requires LinkUp to retain.

Certain LinkUp features may require payment or a subscription.

By purchasing a paid plan, you agree to the price, billing frequency, renewal conditions, and cancellation terms disclosed at checkout and in the app before you confirm payment.

Free trials automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial expires. You can cancel anytime.

No refunds are available for subscription payments, including payments made after your free trial ends, except where required by applicable law.

This agreement does not remove any refund, cancellation, chargeback, or other consumer rights that apply under applicable law or the applicable purchase terms. LinkUp will handle subscription cancellations, refunds, and service-related disputes in accordance with its disclosed policies and applicable law.

LinkUp may display recommendations, business listings, ratings, prices, opening hours, weather information, maps, user-submitted content, and other information provided by third parties or other users.

LinkUp cannot guarantee that all third-party information or user-submitted content is accurate, complete, or up to date. You should verify important information directly with the relevant business or service provider before making plans.

Third-party services may have their own terms, privacy policies, fees, and requirements. Your use of third-party services is between you and that provider.

LinkUp is provided on an as-available basis, subject to the warranties and consumer rights that apply under applicable law.

The app may experience maintenance periods, technical problems, server outages, data synchronization failures, bugs, interruptions, or temporary or permanent discontinuation.

LinkUp does not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that every feature will always work without errors.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, LinkUp is not responsible for losses resulting solely from interruptions or technical failures outside its reasonable control.

LinkUp will use reasonable efforts to address significant service problems and protect user data as required by applicable law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, LinkUp and its owners, operators, employees, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, LinkUp is not responsible for the independent conduct of other users, third-party businesses, venues, transportation providers, or event organizers, or for incidents outside its reasonable control.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the platform is provided without warranties beyond any that cannot legally be excluded, and you agree to indemnify LinkUp against claims arising from your violation of these terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.

If a dispute arises, the parties should first attempt to resolve it informally. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be handled through the dispute resolution process required by applicable law, which may include arbitration or court proceedings as determined by that law.

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence where such exclusion is prohibited, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Nothing in this section prevents you from exercising legal rights that applicable law does not allow you to waive.

LinkUp handles your personal information as described in the LinkUp Privacy Policy, which is part of these legal documents. In short, the information you provide (such as your account details, profile, and preferences) is used to operate the app and its features, and you control much of what other users can see through your privacy settings.

You may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including rights to access, correct, or delete your information and to object to certain processing. You can request account deletion from your Profile settings.

LinkUp may update these documents from time to time. When a revision is material, LinkUp will notify users through the app and update the effective date shown above.

Material changes may require you to review and accept the updated version before you can continue using the app. Your acceptance history, including the versions you accepted and when, is retained for record-keeping purposes.

If you do not accept an updated version, you may stop using the app. Continuing to use LinkUp after notice of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated documents where permitted by applicable law, without prejudice to rights that law does not allow to be affected this way.

LinkUp provides ways to report dangerous behavior, harassment, sexual misconduct, illegal activity, and other violations, including by contacting our support team from the app.

When LinkUp receives a report, it may review the available information and take action it considers appropriate, which can include removing content, restricting features, suspending accounts, or permanently terminating accounts. Serious allegations may be referred to relevant authorities where appropriate or legally required.

LinkUp cannot promise absolute confidentiality or a specific investigation outcome, and cannot provide legal, medical, or safety advice. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services first.
