Terms of Use

We hope you enjoy using Intryst!

These Terms of Use govern your use of Intryst and provide information about our service, which will be outlined below. When you create an Intryst account or use Intryst, you agree to these terms.

Intryst is one of Intryst products, provided to you by Intryst LLC. These Terms of Use therefore constitute an agreement between you and Intryst LLC.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. WE EXPLAIN SOME EXCEPTIONS AND HOW YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BELOW.

Intryst Service.

We agree to provide you with Intryst Service. The Service includes all of the Intryst products, features, applications, services, technologies, and software that we provide to advance Intryst’s mission:

“At its most basic, Intryst provides quality date recommendations and activity options for everyone. Beyond that, though, Intryst promotes intimacy through adventure. Sure, you could settle for the familiar movie-and-dinner date, but why not go for something more memorable? Like that Mediterranean dinner and mini-golf course down the street. Or the Italian bistro with the art museum a block over. Research shows that people are not only more satisfied in their relationship when they’re trying new things together, but also live more fulfilled lives. So don’t settle for what’s basic. Shake things up.”

The Service is made up of the following aspects (the Service):

  • Offering activity suggestions.

While we can’t promise the perfect date, we want to be able to offer our users the ability to see and hopefully enjoy new and exciting experiences through our app. We sincerely hope that our users will be able to utilize this app to explore new cities and expand their horizons while becoming closer together with the people they choose to do these activities with and the communities they choose to do them in.

  • Offering restaurant suggestions

Food is a way to bring people together, so we believe that having a restaurant to go to before or after an activity would be the perfect way to get to know the people and community better. By incorporating reviews from reputable sources as well as using user-generated reviews, we will do our very best to give eatery suggestions that all our users will enjoy

  • Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment.

The creators of Intryst want to include as many people as we can. We feel that everyone should have the opportunity to explore and enjoy new experiences. If you’re reading this and have any suggestions as to how to improve our service and app to make it more inclusive, please don’t hesitate to reach out and contact us at intrystus@gmail.com We also may share information about misuse or harmful content with other Facebook Companies or law enforcement. Learn more in the Data Policy.

  • Developing and using technologies that help us consistently serve our growing community.

Organizing and analyzing information for our growing community is important to our Service. A big part of our Service is creating and using cutting-edge technologies to help us perform, protect, and improve our Service for a broad global community. Technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning give us the power to apply complex processes across our Service. Automated technologies also help us ensure the functionality and integrity of our Service.

  • Ensuring a stable global infrastructure for our Service.

To provide our global Service, we may store and transfer data across our systems around the world.

  • Connecting you with brands, products, and restaurants.

We use data from Intryst, as well as from third-party partners, to show you ads, offers, and other sponsored content that we believe will be meaningful to you.

  • Research and innovation.

We use the information we have to study our Service and collaborate with others to make our Service better.

  • The content you delete will persist in backup copies and will still be visible there. This paragraph and the section below called "Our Agreement and What Happens if We Disagree" will still apply even after your account is terminated or deleted.

Our Agreement and What Happens if We Disagree.

Our Agreement.

  • Your use of our Service is subject to our Platform Policy. If you use certain other features or related services, you will be provided with an opportunity to agree to additional terms that will also become a part of our agreement. For example, if you use payment features, you will be asked to agree to the Community Payment Terms. If any of those terms conflict with this agreement, those other terms will govern.

  • If any aspect of this agreement is unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.

  • Any amendment or waiver to our agreement must be in writing and signed by us. If we fail to enforce any aspect of this agreement, it will not be a waiver.

  • We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Who Has Rights Under this Agreement.

  • This agreement does not give rights to any third parties.

  • You cannot transfer your rights or obligations under this agreement without our consent.

  • Our rights and obligations can be assigned to others. For example, this could occur if our ownership changes (in the case of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets) or by law.

Who Is Responsible if Something Happens.

  • Our Service is provided "as is," and we can't guarantee it will be safe and secure or will work perfectly all the time. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ALSO DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

  • We also don’t control what people and others do or say, and we aren’t responsible for their (or your) actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or content (including unlawful or objectionable content). We also aren’t responsible for services and features offered by other people or companies, even if you access them through our Service.

  • Our responsibility for anything that happens on the Service (also called "liability") is limited as much as the law will allow. If there is an issue with our Service, we can't know what all the possible impacts might be. You agree that we won't be responsible ("liable") for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms, even if we know they are possible. This includes when we delete your content, information, or account. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months.

  • You agree to defend (at our request), indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with these Terms or your use of the Service. You will cooperate as required by us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not, in any event, settle any claim without our prior written consent.

  • If and when our Terms and conditions are translated into a different language other than English, the English version will take precedent.

How We Will Handle Disputes.

  • Except as provided below, you and we agree that any cause of action, legal claim, or dispute between you and us arising out of or related to these Terms or Intryst ("claim(s)") must be resolved by arbitration on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; you and we may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other Intryst users. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision's limitations, then only that claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for relief) remain subject to this provision.

  • Instead of using arbitration, you or we can bring claims in the local "small claims" court of our choosing, if the rules of that court will allow it. If you don't bring your claims in small claims court (or if you or we appeal a small claims court judgment to a court of general jurisdiction), then the claims must be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. We will determine arbitration administration at the time of arbitration. You and we expressly waive a trial by jury.

The following claims don't have to be arbitrated and may be brought in court: disputes related to intellectual property (like copyrights and trademarks), violations of our Platform Policy, or efforts to interfere with the Service or engage with the Service in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways). In addition, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. You can opt-out of this provision within 30 days of the date that you agreed to these Terms. To opt-out, you must send your name, residence address, username, email address, or phone number you use for your Intryst, and a clear statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement, and you must send them here: Intryst LLC 300 Delaware Avenue Suite 210 – A Wilmington, DE 19801.

  • Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username, email address, or phone number you use for your Intryst account, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to Intryst LLC 300 Delaware Avenue Suite 210 – A Wilmington, DE 19801

  • Before we commence an arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address you use with your Intryst account, or other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.

  • For all claims, the costs and fees of arbitration shall be allocated in accordance with the arbitration provider's rules, including rules regarding frivolous or improper claims.

  • For any claim that is not arbitrated or resolved in small claims court, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court of our choosing or a state court of our choosing. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.

  • The laws of the State of California, to the extent not preempted by or inconsistent with federal law, will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Unsolicited Material.

We always appreciate feedback or other suggestions, but may use them without any restrictions or obligation to compensate you for them, and are under no obligation to keep them confidential.

Updating These Terms.

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to these Terms so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Then, if you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Terms. If you do not want to agree to these or any updated Terms, you can delete your account and delete the app.
