Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the In-Town mobile application ("the App"), operated by Sharp Edge Technology LLC ("we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the App.

These Terms cover the App only. Our website, intownfriends.com, is covered separately by our Website Terms & Privacy Notice.

1. What In-Town Does

In-Town lets you connect with friends and groups you choose to join, and shares whether you're near them — not your exact location — based on location data you provide. See our Privacy Policy for details on what we collect and how it's used.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use In-Town, and able to form a binding contract under the laws of your state. The App is currently offered only to users in the United States. By using the App, you confirm you meet these requirements.

3. Your Account

• You must provide a real phone number you control and verify it via SMS code.
• You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, including anything shared through groups you've joined.
• Keep your device and phone number secure — anyone with access to your verification codes can access your account.
• You may delete your account at any time from Settings within the App. This permanently removes your account, friend connections, and group memberships.

4. Acceptable Use

In-Town is meant for sharing your presence with people you know and trust. You agree not to:

• Use the App to track, monitor, or locate anyone without their knowledge and willing participation.
• Use the App to stalk, harass, intimidate, or harm another person.
• Create a group or join a group to gain access to someone's proximity information under false pretenses.
• Impersonate another person, or provide a false name or phone number.
• Attempt to access another user's account, or another group's password, without authorization.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or use automated tools to access the App or its backend services.
• Use the App in any way that violates applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, with or without notice, at our discretion.

5. Groups and Friends

Groups are created and joined using a group password that the group's members share with each other directly — we don't vet who a group owner shares that password with. You're responsible for who you invite into your groups and who you accept as a friend. Anyone with a group's password can see the proximity, name, and phone number of everyone in that group. Only share a group password with people you actually want to have that access.

6. Location Data Isn't a Safety Tool

Location data in the App can be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable — it depends on your device's GPS, network connectivity, and how recently you or your friends opened the App. Do not rely on In-Town for emergencies, to verify someone's safety, or as a substitute for calling 911 or other emergency services.

7. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party infrastructure to function, including Google Firebase (authentication, data storage, push notifications) and Google Maps Platform (map display). Your use of the App is also subject to those providers' own terms where applicable.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, its design, and any own-able underlying code are owned by Sharp Edge Technology LLC. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on your own device for personal, non-commercial use. You don't get any ownership rights in the App itself.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't guarantee the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that location data will be accurate.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sharp Edge Technology LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App — including damages resulting from another user's conduct, inaccurate location data, or unauthorized access to your account. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed $100.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Sharp Edge Technology LLC harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the App.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms, or at our discretion to protect other users or the App itself.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will take effect 14 days after we post the update, matching the notice period in our Privacy Policy. Continued use of the App after that point means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
