These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Vibe (the “Service”), operated by the Vibe team (“we,” “us,” “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use Vibe.
This is a baseline draft intended for our early college rollout. Review with qualified legal counsel before broad public launch or before relying on it in any dispute.
1. Eligibility
To use Vibe, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old;
- Be currently enrolled at, or affiliated with, a U.S.-accredited college or university;
- Have a working “.edu” email address from that institution; and
- Not be barred from receiving services under applicable law.
2. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access. You may only have one active account at a time. Provide accurate, current information when you sign up and keep it up to date.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, dox, or impersonate others;
- Post hate speech, sexually explicit content involving minors, or content that promotes self-harm;
- Post content that is illegal where you, the Service, or the recipient is located;
- Spam, scrape, or otherwise overload the Service;
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or interfere with the Service's security;
- Use the Service to deceive, defraud, or mislead;
- Sell, transfer, or rent your account.
We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to other users.
4. Your content
You own the posts, clips, comments, messages, and other content you upload (“Your Content”). By posting Your Content on Vibe, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, transmit, and adapt Your Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in backups for a limited period.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that Your Content does not infringe anyone's rights.
5. Reporting and moderation
If you see content that violates these Terms, use the in-app report flow. We review reports in good faith but make no guarantee about response time or outcome. We may, but are not obligated to, monitor or moderate content proactively.
6. Termination
You can delete your account anytime from Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you've violated these Terms or pose a risk to other users or to the Service. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute resolution) survive.
7. Service “as is”
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that content posted by other users is accurate or appropriate.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vibe and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
9. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your Content or your violation of these Terms or the rights of any third party.
10. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Monroe County, Indiana, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we'll give you reasonable notice (e.g., an in-app notice or email). Continued use of the Service after the effective date of the update means you accept the updated Terms.
