Terms of Service

Last updated: September 3, 2026 · Effective: September 3, 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and DashHOOD (“we”, “us”). They cover the DashHOOD mobile apps and this website. Please read them — particularly section 9, which limits what we owe you if something goes wrong.

1. Who can use DashHOOD

You must be 13 or older to create an account. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you must be 16 or older. DashHOOD is not directed at children under these ages and we do not knowingly allow them to register.

You need an account to use the app. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your sign-in details to yourself and tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access.

2. Your content stays yours

Everything you post — postcards, photos, messages, activities, bulletin items, profile details — remains your content. We do not claim ownership of it.

To operate the service we need your permission to handle it. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, back up, resize, and display your content solely in order to run DashHOOD for you and the people you share it with. That licence exists so the app can put your photo on someone else’s screen; it is not permission to advertise with your face.

This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where a copy has already been shared with another user or where we must keep something to meet a legal obligation. Backups are cycled out on a rolling basis (see the Privacy Policy).

We will not sell your content, licence it to advertisers or data brokers, or use it to train machine-learning models.

3. What you agree not to do

You agree not to use DashHOOD to:

• Post content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, or that depicts or promotes violence.
• Post someone else’s personal information, or photographs of people in a context they would reasonably object to.
• Impersonate another person, or misrepresent your affiliation.
• Post content you do not have the rights to, including copyrighted material.
• Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or otherwise systematically extract data from the service.
• Probe, disrupt, or attempt to bypass the security of the service, or access accounts or data that are not yours.
• Use the service to send spam, chain messages, or unsolicited promotions.

Blocking is enforced in both directions. Attempting to evade a block — including by creating another account — is a breach of these terms.

4. Reporting and moderation

You can report content and block people from inside the app, and you can email support@dashhood.app.

We review reports and may remove content or restrict an account where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached. We are a small team and we do not pre-screen content, so we cannot promise a specific response time; we do prioritise reports involving safety.

5. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on DashHOOD infringes your copyright, email support@dashhood.app with: identification of the work, identification of the material and where it appears, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is unauthorised, and a statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to act. We remove infringing material and may terminate repeat infringers.

6. The service will change

DashHOOD is in active development. Features may be added, altered, or removed. We may impose limits — on activity sizes, upload sizes, or message rates — where they are needed to keep the service running.

DashHOOD is currently free. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases. If that ever changes, we will say so clearly before anything is chargeable, and nothing you already have will be put behind a paywall without notice.

7. Ending it

You may stop at any time. Deleting your account from Settings in the app removes your profile, posts and messages from our systems as described in the Privacy Policy. This is not reversible.

We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, that we are legally required to remove, or that is being used in a way that endangers other users or the service. Except where it would be unlawful or unsafe to do so, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond.

8. Services we rely on

DashHOOD runs on Amazon Web Services and uses Apple and Google platform services for app distribution and notification delivery. Using DashHOOD also means your use is subject to the terms of the app store you installed it from.

9. Disclaimers and limits on liability

DashHOOD is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost. Keep your own copies of photos that matter to you.

We are not responsible for the conduct of other users, online or in person. DashHOOD helps people arrange to meet. We do not verify identities, run background checks, or supervise anything that happens at an activity. Use the same judgement you would use meeting anyone.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the previous twelve months (currently zero) or USD 100.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be excluded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims brought by a third party arising out of content you posted or your breach of these terms, except to the extent the claim results from our own act or omission.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts located in Idaho will have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections of your local law.

Before filing anything, please email us — nearly everything is faster to fix by asking.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the app develops. The “last updated” date above always reflects the current version. For material changes we will give notice in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use DashHOOD after that means you accept the new terms; if you do not, delete your account.

13. Contact

DashHOOD — support@dashhood.app

These terms are written to describe honestly how DashHOOD actually works. They have not been reviewed by a lawyer, and they are not legal advice. Before public launch they should be checked by counsel in the jurisdictions where the app is offered.
