Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old to use BFFR. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live (typically 18), you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your activity. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and have the authority to enter into these Terms.

You are responsible for your account, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Provide accurate information and keep it current. Notify us promptly at support@bffr.social of any unauthorized use. We may refuse, reclaim, or remove a username for any reason.

BFFR lets you post questions, photos, videos, polls, votes, comments, and other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting it, you grant One Life Studios LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, use, copy, reproduce, modify (e.g., reformat), display, publish, and distribute your User Content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Service.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms, any law, or the rights of any third party (including privacy, publicity, and intellectual-property rights). You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it.

BFFR is built on honest feedback — be real, but never cruel. You agree to follow our Community Guidelines and not to misuse the Service, including by interfering with its operation, attempting to access it through unauthorized means, scraping or harvesting data, reverse-engineering it, or using it to violate any law.

You agree not to post, share, or promote content that involves:

• Harassment, bullying, or targeted abuse of any person.
• Hate speech, or content that attacks people based on protected characteristics.
• Sexually explicit material, or any sexual content involving minors.
• Threats of violence, or content that promotes self-harm or harm to others.
• Illegal activity, or the sale of illegal or regulated goods or services.
• Spam, scams, malware, or deceptive or manipulative behavior.
• Impersonation of any person, brand, or organization.
• Content that infringes someone else’s intellectual-property or privacy rights.

We may, but are not obligated to, review, moderate, restrict, or remove any User Content, and we may suspend or terminate your account or access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines, or if we reasonably believe your conduct may harm BFFR, its users, or others. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 8–18) will survive.

The Service, including its software, design, logos, and the “BFFR” and “Be For Real” names and marks, is owned by One Life Studios LLC and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). If you believe content on BFFR infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at support@bffr.social that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the infringing material and its location; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act. We may remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers. A counter-notice process is available to users whose content is removed.

Opinions, advice, votes, and comments on BFFR are provided by other users and do not represent One Life Studios LLC. The Service may contain links to third-party sites or services that we do not control or endorse, and we are not responsible for them. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

BFFR is an entertainment and social-opinion platform. Content on the Service is not professional advice of any kind — legal, medical, financial, mental-health, relationship, or otherwise — and you should not rely on it as such. You are solely responsible for any decisions you make and any interactions you have with other users, and you assume all risks arising from your use of the Service.

If you download BFFR from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and One Life Studios LLC only, not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC, and that the app-store provider is not responsible for the Service or its content. One Life Studios LLC, not the app-store provider, is solely responsible for the app and any support, maintenance, warranty, or claims relating to it, to the extent any exist. You agree to comply with the applicable app-store terms of use. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any content is accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ONE LIFE STUDIOS LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless One Life Studios LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to email us at support@bffr.social with a description of your dispute and to work with us in good faith to resolve it for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and One Life Studios LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration may be conducted remotely or, if in person, in Texas.

Class-action waiver. You and One Life Studios LLC agree that each may bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative action.

Jury-trial waiver. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and One Life Studios LLC each waive any right to a jury trial.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual-property rights.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@bffr.social within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and One Life Studios LLC agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Texas, and waive any objection to such venue.

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by posting the updated date above or notifying you in the app). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and One Life Studios LLC regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
