Terms of service.

The agreement between you and Rostra Labs, Inc. for your use of the disconnect_d app, website, and related services.

Effective: May 6, 2026 · Last revised: May 6, 2026 · Rostra Labs, Inc.

1. Introduction and Agreement

Welcome to disconnectd. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Rostra Labs, Inc. ("Rostra Labs," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation, governing your access to and use of the disconnectd mobile application (the "App"), the website at disconnectd.com (the "Site"), and all related services, features, and content (collectively, the "Services").

By downloading, installing, or using the App; by visiting the Site; or by clicking "I Agree" or a similar button or checkbox during account registration, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Event Content Policy, and any other policies or guidelines we publish from time to time, constitute the entire agreement between you and Rostra Labs regarding the Services.

1.1 About disconnectd

disconnectd is a social event-discovery platform that allows users to discover local events happening near them, RSVP to events, follow other users, and connect with people sharing similar interests. Users who register as event hosts may create, publish, and promote events to the disconnectd community. The Services are currently available exclusively to residents of the United States.

1.2 Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the revised Terms within the App and by sending a push notification to your device. The revised Terms will be effective on the date stated at the top of the document.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and delete your account as described in Section 6.4. We will not use email to notify you of changes to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirement

The Services are available only to individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. By creating an account or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age. During account registration, you will be asked to confirm your age by checking a box stating that you are 18 or older. By checking that box, you are making a legally binding representation to Rostra Labs that you meet the minimum age requirement.

If Rostra Labs discovers or has reason to believe that you are under 18 years of age, we reserve the right to immediately suspend or permanently terminate your account and delete all associated data without notice. Providing false age information is a material breach of these Terms.

The Services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we will take steps to delete the account and associated personal information consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), our Privacy Policy, and other applicable law, and we may make any reports required by law.

2.2 Geographic Restriction

The Services are currently offered exclusively to residents of the United States. By using the Services, you represent that you are located in the United States. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in any other jurisdiction. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.

2.3 Capacity to Contract

By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement; (b) you are not barred from using the Services under any applicable law; (c) you have not previously been suspended or banned from the Services for a violation of these Terms; and (d) all information you provide during registration and use of the Services is accurate, current, and complete.

3. User Accounts

3.1 Account Registration

To access the full functionality of the Services, you must create an account. Account creation requires a valid mobile phone number, which we use to verify your identity via one-time passcode ("OTP") delivered by SMS. You may also provide a display name, profile photo, bio, and other optional profile information. All accounts are personal and may not be created on behalf of another person without that person's explicit consent.

You may create only one account per phone number. Creating multiple accounts, whether to evade a suspension, to game the platform, or for any other reason, is prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activities that occur under your account. Your account is personal to you and may not be transferred, sold, or shared with any other person. You must notify us immediately at support@disconnectd.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

Rostra Labs is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your device or account, or from your failure to notify us of unauthorized access in a timely manner.

3.3 Account Accuracy

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update your information as necessary to keep it accurate. Rostra Labs reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain materially false, misleading, or outdated information.

3.4 Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time, for any reason, from within the App by navigating to Profile → Settings → Account → Delete Account. Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Upon deletion, your personal information will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, Section 9. Certain anonymized or aggregated data and any content that other users have interacted with may be retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

3.5 Host Accounts

Users who wish to create and publish events may register as event hosts by creating a host profile. By creating a host profile, you agree to additional obligations set out in Section 8 of these Terms and in our Event Content Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. A host profile is linked to your personal account and subject to all terms applicable to personal accounts.

4. License to Use the Services

4.1 Grant of License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Rostra Labs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to: (a) download and install the App on a mobile device that you own or control; and (b) access and use the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and all applicable laws.

This license is a license to use the software, not a sale. Rostra Labs retains all right, title, and interest in and to the App and all copies thereof. You acquire no ownership interest in the App by virtue of this license.

4.2 License Restrictions

You may not, directly or indirectly, and you may not permit any third party to:

  • Copy, reproduce, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the App or any part of the Services;
  • Reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the App;
  • Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notice, label, or marking on the App or Services, including any copyright, trademark, or patent notice;
  • Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the App or Services to any third party;
  • Use the Services to build or support a competing product or service;
  • Use any automated means (including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or similar technologies) to access, scrape, index, or collect data from the Services;
  • Access the Services through any unauthorized third-party application, interface, or API;
  • Introduce any malware, virus, trojan horse, worm, or other harmful code into the Services;
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technical measures implemented by Rostra Labs to protect the Services or enforce these Terms; or
  • Use the Services in any manner that violates applicable federal, state, or local law.

4.3 Apple and Google Platform Terms

If you download the App from the Apple App Store, your use of the App is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/). If you download the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to Google Play's Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between those platform terms and these Terms, these Terms control to the maximum extent permitted.

Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.3 only and may enforce it against you as a third-party beneficiary. Apple and Google have no other obligation under these Terms and are not a party to these Terms for any other purpose.

4.4 Updates and Changes to the Services

Rostra Labs may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, update, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any feature thereof, temporarily or permanently. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes where practicable.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Rostra Labs Ownership

The Services, including the App, the Site, and all content, features, functionality, design elements, software, algorithms, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, and interface designs therein (collectively, "Rostra Labs Content"), are owned by Rostra Labs or its licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws, including copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other proprietary rights.

The disconnectd name, logo, and all related product and service names, design marks, and slogans are trademarks of Rostra Labs, Inc. You may not use any Rostra Labs trademark without the prior written consent of Rostra Labs. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use any Rostra Labs trademark, trade name, or brand.

5.2 User Content — Your Ownership

As between you and Rostra Labs, you retain ownership of all content you create, upload, post, or submit through the Services ("User Content"), including event listings, photos, display names, bios, and host profile information, subject to the license you grant us in Section 5.3 below.

By submitting User Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that: (a) you own the User Content or have the necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to submit it; (b) the User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party; and (c) the User Content complies with our Event Content Policy and these Terms.

5.3 License You Grant to Rostra Labs

By submitting, uploading, or posting User Content to the Services, you grant Rostra Labs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify (solely for formatting and display purposes), distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and transmit your User Content, solely for the purpose of operating, providing, promoting, and improving the Services.

This license is limited to use within the Services and for the purpose of operating them. We will not use your User Content for unrelated purposes, sell it to third parties, or use it in advertising without your explicit consent. This license terminates when you delete your User Content or your account, subject to residual copies in backup storage as described in our Privacy Policy.

5.4 Feedback

If you submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, or proposals about the Services ("Feedback"), you grant Rostra Labs a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, and exploit such Feedback without restriction and without any obligation to compensate you. Feedback does not constitute confidential information, and Rostra Labs has no obligation to keep it confidential.

5.5 Copyright Complaints — DMCA

Rostra Labs respects intellectual property rights and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on the Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please send a written notice containing all elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to:

DMCA Agent: Rostra Labs, Inc.
Email: legal@disconnectd.com
Subject line: DMCA Notice

We will respond to complete, valid DMCA notices by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content. We will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Submitting a false or bad-faith DMCA notice is a violation of these Terms and may expose you to legal liability.

6. User Conduct and Prohibited Uses

6.1 General Conduct Standards

You agree to use the Services in a manner that is lawful, respectful, and consistent with the purpose of the platform — to discover and share local events and connect with your community. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

6.2 Prohibited Conduct

You may not use the Services to do any of the following:

  • Post, upload, or transmit any User Content that violates our Event Content Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference;
  • Impersonate any person or entity, including another user, a Rostra Labs employee, or a public figure, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, bully, intimidate, or harm another user or any third party;
  • Post, transmit, or distribute spam, unsolicited promotional content, chain letters, or pyramid schemes;
  • Collect or harvest personal information about other users, including phone numbers, without their consent;
  • Engage in any activity that is fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading, including creating fake events or false event listings;
  • Use the Services to facilitate or promote illegal activity of any kind;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Services, including by introducing viruses, overloading servers, or conducting denial-of-service attacks;
  • Circumvent any technical or administrative measures we use to enforce these Terms;
  • Create an account if you have been previously banned from the Services;
  • Use the Services for any commercial solicitation purpose without our express prior written consent; or
  • Assist or encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing.

6.3 Reporting Violations

If you encounter content or conduct that you believe violates these Terms or our Event Content Policy, you may report it using the in-app reporting function (for example, the flag or "..." icon on an event listing or user profile) or by contacting us at support@disconnectd.com. Rostra Labs may, in its sole discretion, review reports and take action consistent with the Event Content Policy and these Terms. We have no general duty to monitor user content or activity, and the act of submitting a report does not entitle the reporter to any particular outcome, response, timeline, update, or appeal.

7. Events and the disconnectd Platform

7.1 Nature of the Platform

disconnectd is an event-discovery and social networking platform. We are not an event organizer, event promoter, ticketing agent, or venue operator. We do not organize, manage, host, sponsor, or endorse any event listed on the platform. All events are independently organized and operated by third-party hosts who are solely responsible for their events.

7.2 No Endorsement of Events or Hosts

The presence of an event listing on disconnectd does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or verification by Rostra Labs of the event, the host, the venue, or the content of the listing. Rostra Labs does not verify the accuracy of event listings, confirm that events will occur as described, or guarantee the quality or safety of any event. You attend events you discover through disconnectd at your own risk.

7.3 Your Responsibility When Attending Events

When you choose to attend an event you discovered through the Services, you are responsible for: (a) verifying the accuracy of the event information before attending; (b) your own safety and well-being at the event; (c) complying with any requirements of the venue, host, or applicable law; and (d) any interactions you have with other attendees, hosts, or third parties at or in connection with the event.

Rostra Labs is not responsible for any personal injury, property damage, financial loss, or other harm you may suffer in connection with attending an event discovered through the Services.

7.4 RSVP and Attendance

RSVPs made through the Services are expressions of intent and do not constitute a binding commitment to attend. Unless separately required by the event host, an RSVP through disconnectd does not constitute a ticket, reservation, or guarantee of admission to any event. Hosts set their own admission requirements independently of the platform.

7.5 Event Cancellations and Changes

Hosts are solely responsible for notifying attendees of event cancellations, postponements, or material changes. While Rostra Labs provides notification tools to facilitate this, we are not responsible for any failure by a host to provide timely notice, or for any loss you suffer as a result of relying on an event listing that is subsequently cancelled or changed.

7.6 No Current Payment Processing

The Services do not currently process payments or facilitate ticket sales. All events listed on disconnectd are free to discover and RSVP to through the platform. If an event requires payment for admission, any such payment is made directly between you and the host through a mechanism outside the Services. Rostra Labs is not a party to any payment transaction between you and a host and accepts no liability arising therefrom.

We intend to introduce in-app payment functionality in the future. When we do, we will update these Terms to address payment-related rights and obligations before that feature launches.

8. Event Hosts — Additional Terms

This Section applies to all users who create a host profile and publish event listings on the Services. By creating a host profile, you agree to these additional terms in addition to all other provisions of these Terms.

8.1 Host Representations and Warranties

By publishing an event listing, you represent and warrant that:

  • You have the legal authority to organize and promote the event described;
  • You hold all required permits, licenses, and authorizations required by applicable federal, state, and local law for the event, including any required venue permits, alcohol service licenses, or public gathering permits;
  • All information in the event listing — including the date, time, location, description, and any photos — is accurate and not materially misleading;
  • You have the right to use all photos and media uploaded to the listing and such use does not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights;
  • The content rating you assign to the event (including any 18+ or 21+ designation) accurately reflects the nature of the event;
  • The event complies with our Event Content Policy in all respects; and
  • You will promptly update the listing if the event is cancelled, postponed, or materially changed.

8.2 Host Responsibilities

As a host, you are solely responsible for:

  • Planning, organizing, and safely operating your event;
  • Compliance with all applicable laws, including laws governing public gatherings, venue capacity, fire safety, and alcohol service;
  • The conduct of your event attendees;
  • Any claims, disputes, or complaints arising from your event; and
  • Independently verifying the age of attendees at any event that is age-restricted under law or your own listing requirements.

Rostra Labs is not your co-organizer, partner, agent, or guarantor. We provide a platform for discovery. All liability for the event itself rests with you as the host.

8.3 Host Content License

In addition to the license in Section 5.3, by creating an event listing you grant Rostra Labs the right to feature your event in discovery feeds, push notifications, promotional content within the App, and on the disconnectd website (disconnectd.com) for the purpose of promoting the event to potential attendees. This promotional use does not constitute an endorsement of your event by Rostra Labs.

8.4 Boosted Events (Future Feature)

We intend to introduce a promoted event placement feature ("boosted events") that will allow hosts to pay for increased visibility within the platform. When introduced, boosted events will be subject to additional terms, which we will publish in advance. All requirements of these Terms and the Event Content Policy will continue to apply to boosted event listings.

8.5 Host Account Suspension and Termination

In addition to the general termination provisions in Section 17, Rostra Labs may suspend or terminate a host account or remove specific event listings at any time, without notice, if we determine in our sole discretion that: (a) the listing violates these Terms or our Event Content Policy; (b) the host has misrepresented material information in a listing; (c) the event poses a risk to user safety; or (d) Rostra Labs receives credible complaints about the host's conduct.

9. Privacy and Data

9.1 Privacy Policy

Your use of the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and available at disconnectd.com/privacy and within the App's Settings. By using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in the Privacy Policy. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy with respect to data handling, the Privacy Policy controls.

9.2 Location Data

The core functionality of disconnectd depends on access to your device's location. By granting location permission, you consent to the collection and use of your location data as described in the Privacy Policy. You may revoke location permission at any time through your device's Settings, though doing so will limit certain features of the Services.

9.3 Contacts

If you grant the App permission to access your device's contact list, you represent that you have the right to share that information for the purpose of identifying which of your contacts are already using disconnectd. As described in our Privacy Policy, the Find Friends feature is currently designed to perform contact matching on your device rather than transmitting your phone-contact data to our servers. The specific design and behavior of the feature may change over time as described in the Privacy Policy.

9.4 Communications

By creating an account, you consent to receive SMS messages from disconnectd, including one-time passcodes for authentication and account security alerts such as deletion confirmations. These are transactional communications required to operate your account. You may also receive push notifications, subject to the permissions you grant through your device's operating system. You can manage notification preferences within the App at any time.

As of the effective date of these Terms, Rostra Labs does not communicate with users by email and does not request user email addresses for product communications. All communications from the consumer-facing Services are currently delivered via in-app notification or SMS. Communications with hosts, business contacts, applicants, vendors, regulators, law enforcement, or counterparties may occur by email through accounts at the disconnectd.com or rostralabs.com domains. If we change our user-communication practices in the future, we will update these Terms as described in Section 1.2.

10.1 Third-Party Services

The Services use third-party services to operate, including Google Firebase (authentication, analytics, push notifications, and cloud storage) and Apple Push Notification Service. Your use of the Services is subject to the applicable terms and privacy policies of these third-party providers. Rostra Labs is not responsible for the practices of third-party service providers.

10.2 Third-Party Links

Event listings and host profiles may contain links to external websites or services operated by third parties (for example, a venue's website or an external ticketing platform). These links are provided for informational purposes only. Rostra Labs does not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for any third-party websites or their content. Clicking a third-party link takes you outside the Services, and you access such sites at your own risk and subject to those sites' own terms and privacy policies.

10.3 No Responsibility for Third-Party Content

Rostra Labs is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of any third-party content linked from or referenced in the Services, including event listings created by hosts. Your interactions with third-party services are solely between you and those third parties.

11. Disclaimers of Warranties

THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON ROSTRA LABS' LIABILITY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

11.1 "As Is" and "As Available"

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ROSTRA LABS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION:

  • Any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement;
  • Any warranty that the Services will meet your requirements or expectations;
  • Any warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
  • Any warranty as to the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or currency of any content, information, or material available through the Services, including event listings created by hosts;
  • Any warranty that defects or errors in the Services will be corrected; or
  • Any warranty regarding events discovered through the Services, including their safety, quality, or whether they will occur as advertised.

11.2 No Warranty Regarding Events

Rostra Labs does not warrant, represent, or guarantee that any event listed on the platform will take place, that it will match its description, that it will be safe, or that the host is qualified, licensed, or reputable. All decisions to attend events discovered through the Services are made at your sole discretion and risk.

11.3 Jurisdictional Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, Rostra Labs' warranties are limited to the minimum warranty protections mandated by applicable law.

12. Limitation of Liability

THIS SECTION LIMITS ROSTRA LABS' FINANCIAL LIABILITY TO YOU. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

12.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ROSTRA LABS OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses;
  • Personal injury or property damage arising from your use of the Services or attendance at any event discovered through the Services;
  • Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data or transmissions;
  • Conduct or content of any third party, including hosts, other users, or event attendees; or
  • Any other matter relating to the Services.

12.2 Cap on Direct Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ROSTRA LABS' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES — WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE — WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00), OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO ROSTRA LABS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. BECAUSE THE SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY FREE, THIS AMOUNT WILL IN MOST CASES BE ZERO.

12.3 Basis of the Bargain

You acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this Section 12 reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and Rostra Labs and are a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between you and Rostra Labs. The Services would not be provided without these limitations.

12.4 Jurisdictional Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some or all of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, Rostra Labs' liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rostra Labs, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your use of or access to the Services;
  • Your User Content, including any claim that your User Content infringes the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party;
  • Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law;
  • Your conduct as an event host, including any claim arising from an event you organized or promoted through the platform;
  • Your violation of any third party's rights, including any intellectual property right, privacy right, or publicity right; or
  • Any misrepresentation you make in connection with your use of the Services, including false age or identity information.

Rostra Labs reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims. You will not settle any claim without Rostra Labs' prior written consent.

14. Communications from Rostra Labs

14.1 SMS Communications

Rostra Labs communicates with users exclusively via in-app notifications and SMS messages sent to the phone number associated with your account. By creating an account, you consent to receive the following SMS messages from disconnectd:

  • One-time passcodes (OTPs) for account authentication;
  • Account security alerts, including confirmation of account deletion; and
  • Critical service notices that cannot practicably be delivered through the App.

Standard messaging rates from your mobile carrier may apply to SMS messages we send. Rostra Labs is not responsible for any charges your carrier imposes in connection with SMS messages.

14.2 Push Notifications

If you grant the App permission to send push notifications through your device's operating system, you may receive in-app notifications about events, invitations, follows, and other platform activity. You can manage or disable push notifications at any time through the App's Settings or through your device's notification settings.

14.3 No User-Facing Email Communications

As of the effective date of these Terms, the consumer-facing Services do not collect user email addresses and Rostra Labs does not send transactional or marketing user-product communications by email. Any unsolicited email purporting to be a user-product communication from disconnectd should therefore be treated as potentially fraudulent and may be reported to support@disconnectd.com. This Section 14.3 does not restrict business, host, vendor, regulatory, law-enforcement, legal, or other non-product-user correspondence sent or received from accounts at the disconnectd.com or rostralabs.com domains.

15. Fees and Future Payment Features

15.1 Currently Free

Access to the Services is currently free of charge for both users and hosts. Rostra Labs reserves the right to introduce fees for certain features or services in the future. If we do so, we will provide you with advance notice before any fees take effect and give you the opportunity to review the new terms before incurring any charges.

15.2 Future Payment Terms

We intend to introduce in-app payment functionality and a promoted event placement ("boosted events") feature in future versions of the Services. When payment features are introduced, we will publish supplemental payment terms governing those transactions, which will be incorporated into these Terms at that time.

Rostra Labs respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our complete DMCA policy, including the procedure for submitting a takedown notice and filing a counter-notice, is described in Section 5.5 of these Terms.

We will terminate the accounts of users who are found to be repeat copyright infringers, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), in appropriate circumstances.

17. Termination

17.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account and these Terms at any time by deleting your account through the App as described in Section 3.4. Termination by you does not entitle you to any refund and does not limit Rostra Labs' rights with respect to any prior violation of these Terms.

17.2 Termination by Rostra Labs

Rostra Labs may suspend or permanently terminate your account and access to the Services at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including but not limited to if we determine that you have violated these Terms, our Event Content Policy, or any applicable law. Grounds for termination include, without limitation:

  • Providing false information, including false age information, during registration or use of the Services;
  • Violating the prohibited conduct provisions of Section 6;
  • Submitting event listings that violate the Event Content Policy;
  • Engaging in fraudulent, abusive, or harmful activity on the platform;
  • Repeated copyright infringement; or
  • Any conduct that Rostra Labs determines, in its sole discretion, to be harmful to other users, the platform, or Rostra Labs.

17.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your account for any reason: (a) the license granted to you under Section 4.1 immediately terminates; (b) you must cease all use of the Services; and (c) your personal data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Sections 5, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, and 21 of these Terms will survive termination.

If your account is terminated by Rostra Labs for cause, you may not create a new account or access the Services through another user's account without our express written permission.

18. Force Majeure

Rostra Labs will not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Rostra Labs' reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic or epidemic events, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental actions, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications outages, power failures, or failures of third-party service providers (including cloud infrastructure providers or mobile platform operators).

19. Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

THIS SECTION SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES WITH ROSTRA LABS THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN COURT AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

19.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting Rostra Labs at support@disconnectd.com. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you through an in-app notification or SMS. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of your initial notice, either party may proceed to arbitration.

19.2 Binding Arbitration

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or the relationship between you and Rostra Labs ("Disputes") will be resolved exclusively through final, binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in a court of law.

The arbitration will be conducted in English. For claims of $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone, or based solely on written submissions. For claims over $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules. The arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, unless you and Rostra Labs agree otherwise.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND ROSTRA LABS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MULTI-PLAINTIFF ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable for any reason, the entire arbitration provision in this Section 19 will be null and void.

19.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Either party may also seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened: (a) infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights; or (b) unauthorized access to or use of the Services or another user's data.

19.5 Arbitration Fees

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. Rostra Labs will pay all AAA fees for claims under $10,000 unless the arbitrator finds your claim is frivolous. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the applicable arbitration rules or law provide otherwise.

19.6 Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to support@disconnectd.com within thirty (30) days of the date you first agree to these Terms. Your notice must include your name and your registered phone number. If you opt out, neither you nor Rostra Labs can require the other to participate in arbitration, but the class action waiver in Section 19.3 will continue to apply.

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

For any Disputes that are not subject to arbitration under Section 19 (including any Dispute following a valid opt-out of arbitration), you and Rostra Labs consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and you waive any objection to the laying of venue in those courts.

21. General Provisions

21.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Event Content Policy, and any other policies or guidelines published by Rostra Labs that are incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Rostra Labs with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings between you and Rostra Labs regarding the Services.

21.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

21.3 Waiver

Rostra Labs' failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver by Rostra Labs of a breach of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

21.4 Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Rostra Labs. Rostra Labs may freely assign these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without your consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision is void.

21.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly provided in Section 4.3 (Apple and Google as third-party beneficiaries of the license terms), these Terms are for the sole benefit of you and Rostra Labs and do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

21.7 Relationship of the Parties

You and Rostra Labs are independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between you and Rostra Labs. You have no authority to bind Rostra Labs to any obligation.

21.10 Safe Harbors and Defenses Preserved

Nothing in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Event Content Policy, or any other policy published by Rostra Labs waives, limits, alters, or constitutes a contractual modification of any defense, immunity, privilege, or safe harbor available to Rostra Labs or its affiliates, including:

  • Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230, with respect to content posted, transmitted, or made available by users or third parties through the Services;
  • The notice-and-takedown safe harbor of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512;
  • Statutory exceptions, exemptions, and affirmative defenses under federal or state privacy, consumer-protection, communications, or platform-liability law; and
  • Any common-law defense, including statute of limitations, laches, waiver, estoppel, election of remedies, or assumption of risk.

Rostra Labs has no general duty to monitor users, content, or activity on the Services. Statements in these Terms or in any other policy describing how we may take, decline to take, or delay action describe practices Rostra Labs may follow in its sole discretion based on the information available to it, the resources available to it, and the requirements of applicable law. The fact that Rostra Labs takes a particular action in one circumstance does not obligate Rostra Labs to take the same action in another circumstance, and Rostra Labs does not waive any right or remedy by failing to enforce it on a given occasion.

21.11 No Third-Party Reliance

These Terms are entered into for the benefit of you and Rostra Labs only. No other person or entity is entitled to rely on these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Event Content Policy, or any statement made by Rostra Labs in connection with the Services as a basis for any claim, demand, or right.
