Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the FOUND website at found.community and the FOUND mobile application for iOS and Android, together with related services (the “Service”). The Service is operated by FOUND COMMUNITY LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“FOUND,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing the Service or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use FOUND

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate and belongs to you.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@found.community if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Acceptable use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

• Break any law or infringe anyone's rights;
• Harass, threaten, stalk, impersonate, or abuse other people;
• Post or share objectionable content — including content that is false, misleading, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise unlawful or inappropriate;
• Solicit, exploit, or endanger minors in any way;
• Attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorized to access;
• Interfere with, disrupt, scrape, or reverse-engineer the Service;
• Use the Service to send spam or to solicit other users without their consent.

4. Objectionable content and abusive behavior

FOUND has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Objectionable content includes, but is not limited to, content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, sexually explicit, violent, or that exploits or endangers minors.

If you encounter content or a user that violates these Terms, you can report it or block the user directly within the app. Every FOUND profile and message can be reported, and any user can be blocked.

We review reports and will remove content that violates these Terms and, where appropriate, suspend or permanently remove the user responsible. We aim to act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours.

By using the Service, you agree to these content standards. Violating them may result in the immediate removal of your content and the termination of your account.

5. Community content

FOUND helps people connect with local Christian community. Any content you submit remains yours, but you grant FOUND a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and display that content as needed to operate the Service. You are solely responsible for content you submit, and we may remove content that violates these Terms.

6. Communications

By creating an account, you agree to receive updates, announcements, and related communications from FOUND by email, by push notification where you have enabled it, and by phone or text where you have provided a phone number. You can opt out of non-essential messages at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails, your notification settings, or by contacting us. We may still send you essential account and security messages.

7. Intellectual property

The FOUND name, logo, brand, software, and the look and feel of the Service are owned by FOUND and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use FOUND branding without our prior written permission.

8. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers — including Supabase (authentication, database, and storage), Stripe (payment processing), Resend (email delivery), Expo (push notifications), and the Apple App Store and Google Play (app distribution). Your use of those features is also subject to those providers' terms. FOUND is not responsible for third-party services.

9. Payments and gifts

Any donations or financial support made through the Service are processed by Stripe. Unless stated otherwise in writing, contributions are voluntary and non-refundable. FOUND does not store full payment card details.

10. App stores

If you download the FOUND app from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and FOUND COMMUNITY LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal or regulatory, or intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Equivalent terms apply if you download the app from Google Play. You also represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement. FOUND does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. FOUND does not vet, endorse, or take responsibility for other users, churches, organizations, or any interactions that occur through the Service. You are responsible for your own safety when meeting or communicating with others.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FOUND and its founders, members, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, goodwill, or profits, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100).

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FOUND from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. You may stop using the Service and permanently delete your account at any time from within the app.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to that jurisdiction.
