Terms & Conditions

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are CRCL ("Company," "we," "us," "our").

We operate the mobile application CRCL (the "App"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").

CRCL is a social event application that allows users to create and join circles — groups of friends and family. Users can post events to their circles, view event pins on a map, and coordinate attendance.

You can contact us by email at hello@crcl.events.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and CRCL, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

We will provide you with prior notice of any scheduled changes to the Services you are using. The modified Legal Terms will become effective upon posting or notifying you by hello@crcl.events, as stated in the email message. By continuing to use the Services after the effective date of any changes, you agree to be bound by the modified terms.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 13 years old. Persons under the age of 13 are not permitted to use or register for the Services. Users under 18 should have parental consent.

1. Our Services

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws (and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws) and treaties in the United States and around the world.

The Content and Marks are provided in or through the Services "AS IS" for your personal, non-commercial use only.
