Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Maz mobile application, our website, and any related services that link to these Terms (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
What Maz Is
Maz is a social event-planning tool. It helps friends connect, form groups, suggest and discover activities, vote on where to go, plan the logistics, and save photos and memories of their outings. Maz is not a booking, ticketing, or payment service, and we do not act as an intermediary for any reservations, purchases, or transactions between you and any venue, business, or other user.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. In jurisdictions where the minimum digital-consent age is higher (for example, 16 in parts of the European Economic Area), you must meet that higher age or have verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
Your Account
You can create a Maz account using an email and password, or through Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple. When you create an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information
- Keep your credentials confidential and not share your account with anyone else
- Be responsible for everything that happens under your account
- Notify us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account
You may not create an account on behalf of someone else without their permission, and you may not use a Maz account to impersonate another person.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Break any law or facilitate illegal activity
- Harass, threaten, defame, stalk, or harm any other user
- Post or share content that is hateful, sexually explicit, violent, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable
- Upload anyone's photo without their consent or share content that violates another person's privacy
- Spam, send unsolicited messages, or scrape, crawl, or programmatically collect data from the Service
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except to the extent permitted by applicable law
- Probe, scan, or test the Service for vulnerabilities, or interfere with its security or integrity
- Use bots, automated agents, or other tools to access the Service without our written permission
- Use the Service to develop a competing product or service
We may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
User Content
You retain ownership of the photos, comments, votes, activity suggestions, and other content you submit to the Service ("User Content"). To operate the Service, you grant Maz a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as resizing or format conversion), display, and distribute your User Content for the purpose of providing the Service to you and the people you choose to share it with.
You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that sharing it through the Service does not violate the rights of any third party.
We do not claim ownership of your User Content. We may remove User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.
Groups, Events, and Visibility
Maz is built around groups and events. Information you share inside a group or event — including your profile, the activities you suggest, your votes and RSVPs, and any photos you upload — is visible to other members of that group or event. Anyone with a valid invite link to a group or friend connection may be able to join and see that group's shared content. Use good judgment before inviting people or sharing invite links, and only share content you are comfortable letting other group members see.
Activity and Venue Information
The Service includes information about places and activities, including details sourced from third parties such as Google Maps and Google Places. We do not own, operate, endorse, or guarantee any venue or activity, and we make no warranty about availability, opening hours, pricing, safety, or quality. You are solely responsible for your decisions about where to go and what to do. Confirm details directly with the venue when it matters.
Notifications and Communications
By using the Service you agree that we may send you transactional emails and push notifications related to your account, the groups and events you participate in, friend requests, and important updates to the Service. You can manage push notifications and device permissions in your operating-system settings, and you can adjust notification preferences from within the app.
Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers — including Google (Sign-In, Maps, Places, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics), Apple (Sign in with Apple, push notifications), and Amazon Web Services (hosting, storage, email). Your use of those features is also subject to the respective third party's terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for third-party services and have no control over how they operate.
Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, logos, trademarks, and original content, is owned by Maz and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and subject to these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
Copyright and DMCA
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to legal@maz.app with: a description of the work, the location of the allegedly infringing material on the Service, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, and your physical or electronic signature.
Termination
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if your account has been inactive for an extended period, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including the User Content license, intellectual-property terms, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law — will survive.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, RECOMMENDATION, OR ACTIVITY INFORMATION WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAZ 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, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED EURO (€100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Maz and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Maz is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the competent courts of that jurisdiction, except that consumers may also bring claims in the courts of their place of residence where required by mandatory local law.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you should stop using the Service and delete your account.
Apple App Store Additional Terms
If you obtained the Maz iOS app through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Maz only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. In the event the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
