These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between Brink 13 Labs, LLC ("Brink 13 Labs," "we," "us," or "our") and the person or entity agreeing to these Terms ("you"). By accessing or using the Movemates iOS application and Services (defined below), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Summary (not a substitute for the full Terms): Movemates connects adult runners to plan group runs and chat. You must be 18+. Be respectful, follow the Community Guidelines, and use common‑sense safety practices. We don't conduct background checks, and in‑person meetings and physical activity involve risk that you accept. Subscriptions are billed via Apple and auto‑renew unless canceled in iOS Settings. Disputes are resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, with a 30‑day email opt‑out.
You agree to follow our Community Guidelines (see full version below), which include but are not limited to:
We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend/terminate accounts that violate these Terms or Community Guidelines. See the full Community Guidelines below for detailed expectations, safety tips, and enforcement procedures.
We may add, change, or remove features; suspend or discontinue the Services in whole or part; or impose limits, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law and platform rules. If we discontinue Premium, Apple's policies govern any refunds.
Certain features depend on third parties (e.g., Firebase; Apple; optional Strava links). We are not responsible for third‑party services, terms, or policies.
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Brink 13 Labs, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content and has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligations with respect to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third‑party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a third‑party beneficiary.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR‑FREE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US (IF ANY) FOR PREMIUM IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (ii) $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; THOSE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Brink 13 Labs and our officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your conduct, including in‑person meetings or activities arranged through the Services; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your infringement or misappropriation of any rights of a third party.

We may remove content and terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. (If you submit a counter‑notice, include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512.)
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information. By using the Services, you consent to our data practices as described in that Policy.
Data Access & Portability Requests (Email Only). We process requests to access or receive a copy of your personal information manually via email. To submit a request, email support@movemates.app from the email associated with your account with the subject line "Data Request." Include your full name and the account email (including any Sign in with Apple relay address). We may request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling the request. We do not currently offer an automated in-app export or download. We will respond within time periods required by applicable law.
You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access (with or without notice) if we believe you violated these Terms, pose a risk, or as required by law. Upon termination, your license ends and certain provisions survive (e.g., Sections 5, 12–19).
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws principles, and the Federal Arbitration Act as stated above. Subject to the arbitration provision, the exclusive venue for permissible court proceedings (e.g., small claims) is state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, labor conditions, governmental action, power or internet failures.
You represent that you are not located in a country embargoed by the U.S. or on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with U.S. export and sanctions laws.
