Terms of Service

Last updated: November 8, 2026

Welcome to Withly. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Withly LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Withly," "we," "our," or "us"), and govern your use of the Withly mobile app and related services (the "App"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. What Withly is

Withly helps college students meet new people. If you choose to join, each evening at 8pm your local time the App may place you in a small group chat ("Circle") with other students. A Circle stays open for about 24 hours. Members can privately vote to keep it. If enough members keep it, it continues as a group chat in Chats with those members; otherwise it ends and its messages are deleted. The App also lets you send direct and group messages ("Chats") to other students.

We try to form a Circle for you every night, but we cannot guarantee that you will be matched on any given night or matched with any particular person.

2. Eligibility and your account

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You must be a current college or university student (undergraduate or graduate). Withly is not for faculty, staff, alumni or other non-students, even if they have a school email address. When you sign up, you confirm that you are a current student and 18 or older.
• You must register with a valid college or university email address that you control (for example, one ending in .edu) and verify it. You may only create one account.
• The information you give us, including your name, birthday and school, must be accurate. Do not impersonate anyone.
• You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for activity on your account.

We may refuse, suspend or close accounts that do not meet these requirements.

3. Not an emergency or counseling service

Withly is a place to meet people. It is not a medical, mental-health, counseling or emergency service. Other users and the App's automated features cannot give professional advice. If you or someone else is in danger, call 911. If you are in emotional distress or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the US) or contact your campus counseling center.

4. Your content

You are responsible for everything you post or send in the App, including messages, photos, voice messages, videos and files ("Your Content"). You keep ownership of Your Content. You give Withly a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to run, protect and improve the App (for example, to deliver your messages to the people you are talking with and to check messages for safety).

5. Community rules

Withly has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You agree not to:

• Harass, bully, threaten, stalk or intimidate anyone.
• Post hate speech or content that discriminates against or promotes violence toward any person or group.
• Send sexual content, nudity or unwanted sexual advances, or use Withly for dating solicitation.
• Share someone else's private information, or photos of others without their permission.
• Promote self-harm, illegal activity or illegal drugs.
• Spam, advertise, sell things, or collect other users' information.
• Misrepresent your identity, age or school, or use another person's account.
• Interfere with the App, try to access it by automated means, or get around blocks, matching settings or safety features.
• Infringe anyone's intellectual property or other rights.

6. Safety tools and moderation

• Report and block. You can report a message or a user from a chat or their profile, and block any user. A message you report is hidden for you. You won't see messages from people you block, they won't be told, and they will not be placed in Circles with you.
• Removal from a chat after reports. If messages from one person are reported by three different members of the same chat, group or Circle (or, in a group of three, by both other members), that person is automatically removed from it. Reports are also reviewed by us.
• Automated checks. Messages sent in Circles, including edited messages, are automatically checked for harmful content by a third-party moderation service. Messages that are flagged may be hidden from other members and reviewed by us.
• Our review. We review reports and may remove content, limit features, or suspend or permanently ban accounts that break these Terms, with or without notice.

We cannot review everything before it is posted and are not responsible for what other users say or do. Please use good judgment, and be careful before meeting anyone in person or sharing personal details.

7. Automated features

The App uses automated tools, including artificial intelligence, to form Circles, to suggest conversation prompts and icebreakers, and to check messages for safety. These suggestions are generated automatically and may occasionally be inaccurate or unsuitable; please report anything inappropriate.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use and protect it. By using the App you agree to that policy.

9. Fees

Withly is currently free for verified college students. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will tell you the price and terms before you are charged, and purchases through the App Store or Google Play are also subject to those stores' terms.

10. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the App (Me > Account settings > Delete account). We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if required by law, or to protect users or the App.

11. Intellectual property

The App and its design, software, name, logos and content (other than Your Content) belong to Withly LLC and are protected by law. You may not copy, modify, or reverse engineer the App except as allowed by law.

12. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, or that you will be matched or make friends.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Withly LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, or for the conduct of any user on or off the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US $100).

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless Withly LLC and its owners, employees and agents from claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the App, or your violation of these Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may bring a claim in small-claims court.

Class action waiver: You and Withly LLC may bring claims against each other only individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative proceeding.

16. Apple and Google

These Terms are between you and Withly LLC, not Apple Inc. or Google LLC. Apple and Google are not responsible for the App or its content, and have no obligation to provide support for it. If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

17. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make important changes, we will update the date above and, when appropriate, notify you in the App. If you keep using the App after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.
