Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and Budmet for use of the Budmet app and this website. By creating an account you accept them, so please read them — especially the Community Guidelines and the section on coins.

1. Who can use Budmet

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. You may not use Budmet if you have previously been removed for a safety violation, or if you are barred from using services like this under applicable law. Budmet is for personal, non-commercial use.

2. Your account

Keep one account, give accurate details, and use photos that are of you and that you have the right to use. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure. Don't share, sell or transfer your account, and don't create a new one to evade a block or a removal.

3. What Budmet does — and doesn't do

Budmet publishes notices to other users in the same city, delivers Interested requests to the person who posted, and opens a chat once that person accepts. Nobody can message you before you accept, and unanswered requests expire after seven days.

Budmet is not an event organiser, employer, travel agency or introduction agency. We do not verify identities, run background checks, or vouch for anyone on the board. We may change or discontinue features, and we aim for continuous availability but cannot promise it.

4. Community Guidelines

These rules are part of these terms. Do not:

Report anything that breaks these rules using the ⋯ menu on a notice, profile or chat. Reports are reviewed by people, usually within 24 hours. Blocking is always available, is silent, and can be undone in Settings.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of what you post. To operate the app you grant Budmet a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display your content for the purpose of running and improving the service — nothing more. We do not use your notices or photos in advertising without asking you first.

You are responsible for having the rights to what you post. We may remove content that breaks these terms or the law. If you believe content infringes your copyright, write to Budmet@gmail.com with enough detail to identify it.

6. Coins, boosts and refunds

Budmet Coins are a prepaid, limited licence to use paid features inside the app. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred between accounts. A boost places a notice higher in its city list for the stated period with a Featured frame; it does not change who may contact you, does not hide safety controls, and does not guarantee replies.

Coin purchases are processed by the App Store or Google Play under their terms, and refunds are requested through them. Unused coins are forfeited if you delete your account or if we terminate it for a guidelines violation. Prices and boost pricing may change; changes never apply retroactively to coins you already hold.

7. Meeting people offline

You decide who to meet and where. Meet in public for the first time, tell someone you trust where you're going, don't send money to people you've met on Budmet, and leave if you feel uncomfortable. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, and Budmet is not liable for anyone's conduct online or offline. If something serious happens, contact your local emergency services first, then report it to us.

8. Suspension and termination

We may remove content, limit features, suspend or terminate an account that breaks these terms, harms other users, or exposes us to legal risk. Where it's reasonable we'll tell you why and, for less serious cases, give you a chance to put it right. You can stop using Budmet at any time and delete your account in Profile → Account & data; notices come down immediately, chats become unrecoverable, remaining coins are forfeited, and signing in within seven days cancels the deletion.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Budmet is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for lost profits, data or goodwill. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 100.

Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory law of your country, including any statutory guarantees.

10. Governing law, disputes and changes

Nothing in these terms limits the consumer-protection rights you have under the mandatory law of the country you live in, and you may always bring a claim where local law entitles you to. Please write to us first — most issues are resolved by email.

We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect, and the date at the top of this page will change. Continuing to use Budmet after that date means you accept the new version. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
