  1.  Eligibility to Use the Services 

    No one under 13 is allowed to create an account or use the Services. We may offer additional Services with additional terms that may require you to be even older to use them. So please read all terms carefully. 

    By using the Services, you state that: 
  • You can form a binding contract with Company.
  • You are not a person who is barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction—meaning that you do not appear on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or face any other similar prohibition.
  • You will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations.
  • you have never been convicted of or pled no contest to a felony, a sex crime, or any crime involving violence, and that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any state, federal or local sex offender registry.

If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or some other entity, you state that you are authorized to grant all licenses set forth in these Terms and to agree to these Terms on behalf of the business or entity. 

3. Rights We Grant You 

Company grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, nonexclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of letting you use and enjoy the Services' benefits in a way that these Terms and our usage policies, such as our Community Guidelines, allow. 

Therefore, you agree not to:

  • use the Service or any content contained in the Service for any commercial purposes without our written consent.
  • copy, modify, transmit, create any derivative works from, make use of, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, images, trademarks, trade names, service marks, or other intellectual property, content or proprietary information accessible through the Service without our prior written consent.
  • express or imply that any statements you make are endorsed by us.
  • use any robot, bot, spider, crawler, scraper, site search/retrieval application, proxy or other manual or automatic device, method or process to access, retrieve, index, “data mine,” or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Service or its contents.
  • use the Service in any way that could interfere with, disrupt or negatively affect the Service or the servers or networks connected to the Service.
  • upload viruses or other malicious code or otherwise compromise the security of the Service.
  • forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any information transmitted to or through the Service.
  • “frame” or “mirror” any part of the Service without Company’s prior written authorization.
  • use meta tags or code or other devices containing any reference to BlindID or the Service (or any trademark, trade name, service mark, logo or slogan of BlindID) to direct any person to any other website for any purpose.
  • modify, adapt, sublicense, translate, sell, reverse engineer, decipher, decompile or otherwise disassemble any portion of the Service, or cause others to do so.
  • use or develop any third-party applications that interact with the Service or other users’ Content or information without our written consent.
  • use, access, or publish our application programming interface without our written consent.
  • probe, scan or test the vulnerability of our Service or any system or network.
  • encourage or promote any activity that violates this Agreement.

The Company may investigate and take any available legal action in response to illegal and/ or unauthorized uses of the Service, including termination of your account.

Any software that we provide you may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, or other new features. You may be able to adjust these automatic downloads through your device’s settings.

4. Rights You Grant Us 

Many of our Services let you make calls, create, upload, post, send, receive, and store content. When you do that, you retain whatever ownership rights in that content you had to begin with. But you grant us a license to use that content. How broad that license is depends on which Services you use and the Settings you have selected. 

For all Services you grant Company a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, and distribute that content. This license is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, promoting, and improving the Services and researching and developing new ones. 

Because Services are inherently public and chronicle matters of public interest, the license you grant us for content submitted to those Services is broader. In addition to granting us the rights mentioned in the previous paragraph, you also grant us a perpetual license to create derivative works from, promote, exhibit, broadcast, syndicate, sublicense, publicly perform, and publicly display content submitted to Services in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). To the extent it's necessary, when you appear in, create, upload, post, or send content, you also grant Company and our business partners the unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual right and license to use your nickname, likeness, and voice. This means, among other things, that you will not be entitled to any compensation from Company or our business partners if your nickname, likeness, or voice is conveyed through Services, either on the BlindID application or on one of our business partner's platforms. 

For more information about how to tailor who can watch your content, please take a look at our Privacy Policy. 

We may record your conversations for safety and quality reasons, in particular to learn how you use the app and make your usage experience better. 

While we're not required to do so, we may access, review, screen, and delete your content at any time and for any reason, including if we think your content violates these Terms. You alone, though, remain responsible for the content you create, upload, post, send, or store through the Service 

The Services may contain advertisements. In consideration for Company letting you access and use the Services, you agree that we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on the Services. Because the Services contain content that you and other users provide us, advertising may sometimes appear near your content. 

We always love to hear from our users. But if you volunteer feedback or suggestions, just know that we can use your ideas without compensating you. 

5. The Content of Others 

Much of the content on our Services is produced by users, publishers, and other third parties. Whether that content is posted publicly or sent privately, the content is the sole responsibility of the person or organization that submitted it. Although Company reserves the right to review all content that appears on the Services and to remove any content that violates these Terms, we do not necessarily review all of it. So we cannot—and do not—take responsibility for any content that others provide through the Services. 

Through these Terms and our Community Guidelines, we make clear that we do not want the Services put to bad uses. But because we do not review all content, we cannot guarantee that content on the Services will always conform to our Terms or Guidelines. 

6. Privacy 

Your privacy matters to us. You can learn how we handle your information when you use our Services by reading our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to give the Privacy Policy a careful look because, by using our Services, you agree that Company can collect, use, and transfer your information consistent with that policy. 

7. Respecting Other People's Rights 

Company respects the rights of others. And so should you. You therefore may not upload, post, send, or store content that: 

  • violates or infringes someone else's rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property right.
  • bullies, harasses, or intimidates.
  • defames.
  • spams or solicits our users.
  • spam, solicit money from or defraud any users.
  • use another user’s account, share an account with another user, or maintain more than one account.
  • create another account if we have already terminated your account, unless you have our permission.
  • post any Content that violates or infringes anyone’s rights, including rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property or contract right.
  • post any Content that is hate speech, threatening, sexually explicit or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
  • post any Content that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual.
  • solicit passwords for any purpose, or personal identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes from other users or disseminate another person’s personal information without his or her permission.
  • impersonate any person or entity or post any images of another person without his or her permission.
  • use the Service for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited by this Agreement.

You must also respect Company’s rights. These Terms do not grant you any right to: 

  • use branding, logos, designs, photographs, videos, or any other materials used in our Services.
  • copy, archive, download, upload, distribute, syndicate, broadcast, perform, display, make available, or otherwise use any portion of the Services or the content on the Services except as set forth in these Terms.
  • use the Services, any tools provided by the Services, or any content on the Services for any commercial purposes without our consent.

In short: You may not use the Services or the content on the Services in ways that are not authorized by these Terms. Nor may you help anyone else in doing so. 

  1. Other Users’ Content.

Although the Company reserves the right to review and remove Content that violates this Agreement, such Content is the sole responsibility of the user who posts it, and Company cannot always guarantee that all Content will comply with this Agreement. If you see Content on the Service that violates this Agreement, please report it within the Service or via support@blindid.com.


  1. Respecting Copyright 

    Company honors the requirements set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We therefore take reasonable steps to expeditiously remove from our Services any infringing material that we become aware of. And if Company becomes aware that one of its users has repeatedly infringed copyrights, we will take reasonable steps within our power to terminate the user's account. 

    We make it easy for you to report suspected copyright infringement. If you believe that anything on the Services infringes a copyright that you own or control, please contact us from support@blindid.com. 

    Your notice must:
  • contain the physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  • identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  • identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed, or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate the material.
  • provide your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address.
  • provide a personal statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • provide a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

  1.  Safety 

    We do our best to keep our Services secure and safe for all users. But we can't guarantee it. By using the Services, you agree that: 
  • You will not use the Services for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited in these Terms.
  • You will not use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, or other automated means or interface to access the Services or extract other user's information.
  • You will not use or develop any third-party applications that interact with the Services or other users' content or information without our written consent.
  • You will not use the Services in a way that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect, or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Services, or that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the functioning of the Services.
  • You will not use or attempt to use another user's account, username, or password without their permission.
  • You will not solicit login credentials from another user.
  • You will not post content that contains pornography, graphic violence, threats, hate speech, or incitements to violence.
  • You will not upload viruses or other malicious code or otherwise compromise the security of the Services.
  • You will not attempt to circumvent any content-filtering techniques we employ, or attempt to access areas or features of the Services that you are not authorized to access.
  • You will not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our Services or any system or network.
  • You will not encourage or promote any activity that violates these Terms.

We also care about your safety while using our Services. So do not use our Services in a way that would distract you from obeying traffic or safety laws. For example, never use our Services and drive. And never put yourself or others in harm's way just to post or talk on BlindID. 

11. Your Account 

You are responsible for any activity that occurs in your BlindID account. So it's important that you keep your account secure. One way to do that is to select a strong password that you don't use for any other account. 

By using the Services, you agree that, in addition to exercising common sense: 

  • You will not create more than one account for yourself.
  • You will not create another account if we have already disabled your account, unless you have our written permission to do so.
  • You will not buy, sell, rent, or lease access to your BlindID account, a BlindID username, or a friend link without our written permission.
  • You will not share your password.
  • You will not log in or attempt to access the Services through unauthorized third-party applications or clients.

If you think that someone has gained access to your account, please immediately reach out to support@blindid.app. 

12. Data Charges

You are responsible for any mobile data charges that you may incur for using our Services. If you're unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your service provider before using the Services. 

13. Third-Party Services 

If you use a service, feature, or functionality that is operated by a third party and made available through our Services (including Services we jointly offer with the third party), each party's terms will govern the respective party's relationship with you. Company is not responsible or liable for a third party's terms or actions taken under the third party's terms. 

14. Indemnity 

You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company, our directors, officers, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your content; and (c) your breach of these Terms.

IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY 'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 USD OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID COMPANY, IF ANY, IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. 

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

19. Additional Terms for Specific Services
