Terms of Service — Social Friends

Last updated: April 27, 2026 Effective date: April 27, 2026


1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Skand Shekatkar (“we”, “us”, or “Social Friends”). By creating an account or using the Social Friends mobile app (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.


2. Who can use the Service

We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or remove content at our discretion for any reason consistent with these Terms.


3. Your account


4. Your friends’ data — your responsibility

Social Friends lets you store information about people in your life (“friends”) — their names, phone numbers, tags, notes, and a history of your hangs. You are the person deciding to store that information, and you are responsible for doing so appropriately.

By adding a friend to the Service, you represent and warrant that:

  1. You have an existing personal or social relationship with that person that makes it reasonable to keep this information.
  2. You will use the information only for your own private record- keeping and not to harass, stalk, impersonate, or harm anyone.
  3. You will respect any request from that person to remove their data from your Social Friends account.
  4. You will not share notes, photos, or hang history about a friend with any third party without a legitimate reason.

We reserve the right to remove content or terminate accounts that violate these responsibilities.

If a non-user asks us to remove their data from the Service, you authorise us to delete it from your account without further notice.


5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Violations may result in content removal, account termination, and, where appropriate, legal action.

Polls and “free to hang” slots are user-generated content and are subject to the same content rules as anything else you create in the Service. Do not use polls or slot notes to harass, defame, or otherwise target people.


The Service lets you generate a shareable link for a planned hang. Anyone with the link — including people who do not have a Kindrd account — can submit an RSVP through the public RSVP page.

By submitting an RSVP, the responder agrees to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy with respect to the limited information they provide (name, optional phone number, response, optional note). RSVP information is visible only to the meeting owner. The host is responsible for sharing the link only with people they intend to invite, and for honouring any request from a responder to remove their RSVP.


6. User content

You retain ownership of any content you create in the Service (notes, photos, hang logs, tags). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account.

We do not use your content for advertising, for training AI models, or for any purpose other than running the Service.


7. Our content

The Social Friends app, its design, logo, source code, and all associated intellectual property are owned by us and protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without our written permission.


8. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers (for example Supabase, Google, Apple, PostHog, Sentry). Your use of those integrations is also subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of third parties.


9. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy to understand what data we collect and how we use it. By using the Service you agree to the practices described there.


10. Beta features

Some features may be labelled “beta”, “preview”, or “experimental”. These features are provided as-is, may change or be removed without notice, and may contain bugs.


11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation.

We do not guarantee that:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.


12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, in no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD

  1. The Service is currently free, so in practice this cap will usually be USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.


13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or damages (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any third party’s rights — including, for example, a friend whose data you added to the Service without authority.


14. Termination

You can terminate your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete my account. We can terminate or suspend your account if you violate these Terms or applicable law, or if we decide to discontinue the Service.

On termination, all your content will be hard-deleted from our live database promptly, subject to the backup-retention window described in the Privacy Policy.


15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, notify you inside the app before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the new Terms.


16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Pune, Maharashtra, India, unless you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that grants you a non-waivable right to sue in your local courts.
