Using Grooop

Your permission to use Grooop and how the service may evolve.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use Grooop for its intended purpose.

Grooop is a social coordination product designed to help friend groups plan more easily. Features may include messaging, scheduling support, group coordination, suggestions, context-aware assistance, and other related tools.

We may improve, change, add, pause, or remove features from time to time. We will try to do this in a way that is reasonable and proportionate.

5

User content, messages, and group activity

What counts as your content, the rights you keep, and the licence Grooop needs to run.

You may submit, send, upload, or otherwise make available content through Grooop, including messages, replies, reactions, profile information, availability information, preferences, and other material (User Content).

You keep ownership of your User Content.

However, by submitting User Content to Grooop, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, transmit, display, and otherwise use that User Content to the extent reasonably necessary to:

  • operate and provide Grooop;
  • display content within relevant groups and conversations;
  • support scheduling and coordination features;
  • provide Gia and related service functionality;
  • maintain security, prevent abuse, and investigate misuse; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

This licence continues only for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, subject to our retention practices and legal obligations.

You are responsible for the User Content you submit and for ensuring you have the rights needed to submit it.

Users cannot currently delete messages themselves once sent. We may, however, remove or restrict access to content where reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, policy enforcement, or operational reasons.

6

Gia and AI-assisted features

What Gia does, how it works, and why its outputs should be reviewed.

Gia is the AI assistant in the Grooop app.

Gia may use information such as messages, planning context, preferences, and related account or usage context to generate suggestions, summaries, coordination help, and other outputs within Grooop.

By using Gia, you understand and agree that:

  • Gia is intended to assist with coordination and related interactions;
  • Gia may produce content that is incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, poorly phrased, or inappropriate to the context;
  • Gia output should be reviewed by users before being relied on;
  • Gia is not a substitute for professional advice, emergency services, or legally binding decision-making; and
  • final decisions remain with users, not Gia.

We may use third-party providers to help us operate AI-assisted features.

As stated in our Privacy Policy, Gia does not use user messages to train AI models.

7

Planning information and location context

How Grooop handles availability, time, and location context for planning.

Grooop is designed to help groups coordinate around time, availability, and context.

When using planning features, you understand that:

  • suggestions may be based on information provided by you or other users;
  • results may depend on incomplete, changing, or conflicting information;
  • availability-related outputs are assistive and may not reflect every real-world constraint; and
  • Grooop may process approximate location-related context where it is provided by users or inferred from user input, including messages processed by Gia, in order to improve planning and coordination.

You remain responsible for checking the accuracy and suitability of plans, times, locations, and arrangements.

8

Acceptable use

Rules for using Grooop safely and lawfully, and what's not allowed.

You must use Grooop lawfully, responsibly, and in line with these Terms.

You must not:

  • use Grooop for illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive activity;
  • harass, threaten, bully, stalk, exploit, or intimidate others;
  • post, send, or facilitate unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, hateful, violent, sexually exploitative, or otherwise abusive content;
  • upload malware, malicious code, or attempt to disrupt, damage, or interfere with Grooop or other users;

  • use Grooop to scrape, harvest, or collect data in an unauthorised way;
  • impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
  • use Grooop in a way that infringes intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality, or other rights; or
  • misuse Gia or other features in ways that create safety, legal, or operational risk.

We may investigate suspected misuse and take action where reasonably necessary.

9

Safety, moderation, and enforcement

How we may investigate misuse, moderate content, and enforce these Terms.

To protect users, Grooop, and third parties, we may take proportionate action where we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

  • investigate suspected misuse or breaches of these Terms;
  • comply with law, regulation, legal process, or requests from competent authorities;
  • remove, restrict, or review content;
  • suspend features or access;
  • limit visibility or sharing of material; or
  • preserve evidence and records relevant to safety, legal, or operational issues.

We do not promise to monitor all activity, messages, or content, but we may review content and account activity where reasonably necessary for safety, support, security, service integrity, or legal compliance.

10

Suspension and termination

When we may suspend or end access, and what happens if you stop using Grooop.

You may stop using Grooop at any time.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of Grooop if we reasonably believe that:

  • you have breached these Terms;
  • your use creates legal, security, reputational, or operational risk;
  • we need to do so to protect users, Grooop, or third parties; or
  • we are required to do so by law.

Where appropriate, we may choose to warn you, restrict specific features, or take narrower action instead of terminating access.

Termination or suspension does not affect rights or obligations that by nature should continue, including provisions relating to intellectual property, liability, dispute resolution, and retained content or records.

11

Intellectual property

What Grooop owns — the app, design, branding, and technology behind the service.

Grooop and its related materials, including the app, website, software, design, branding, visual elements, text, graphics, and underlying technology, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except as expressly allowed by law or these Terms, you must not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from Grooop or any part of it.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of Grooop or our intellectual property to you.

12

Third-party services and integrations

When third-party services are involved and that their own terms apply.

Grooop may allow you to connect with or use third-party services, integrations, content, or websites.

Where you choose to use these features:

  • your use of the third-party service may also be governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy;
  • we are not responsible for third-party services we do not control; and
  • availability or compatibility may change over time.

You are responsible for reviewing the terms and policies of relevant third-party services.

13

Paid features and future services

Grooop is free at launch — paid features may come later with clear pricing.

Unless we clearly state otherwise, Grooop is currently provided free of charge at launch.

Grooop does not have paid tiers at launch. However, this may change in future.

If we introduce paid features, subscriptions, or other paid services later on, we will present the relevant pricing, billing terms, renewal information, and any additional conditions before you are charged.

Any additional paid-feature terms will apply alongside these Terms where relevant.

14

Availability, maintenance, and changes to the service

Grooop is in beta, so features may change and uptime isn't guaranteed.

We work to keep Grooop available and functioning properly, but we do not guarantee that Grooop will always be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available at all times.

Because Grooop is currently in beta, you understand that some parts of the service may change more quickly than a fully mature release, and some features may still be tested, adjusted, replaced, or withdrawn.

From time to time we may:

  • perform maintenance;
  • release updates, patches, or improvements;
  • change, withdraw, or replace features;
  • address bugs, security issues, or abuse; or
  • change technical requirements for using the service.

Where reasonably possible, we will aim to make changes in a way that minimises disruption.

15

Consumer rights and service standards

Your consumer rights still apply, and we aim to provide Grooop with reasonable care.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit rights you have under applicable consumer law.

Where consumer law applies, we will provide Grooop using reasonable care and skill.

If paid digital content or paid digital services are supplied by us in future, your statutory rights in relation to those services and that content will continue to apply.

If you think something is wrong with Grooop, please contact us so we can review the issue.

16

Liability

Limits on our liability and the rights that can never be excluded.

We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
  • any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to the paragraph above, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • we are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable;
  • we are not responsible for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control;
  • we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from your failure to keep account credentials secure, back up your own information where appropriate, or review planning outputs before relying on them;
  • we are not responsible for the acts, omissions, content, or services of other users or third parties; and
  • where Grooop is provided free of charge, our liability will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law and assessed in light of the nature of the service.

Nothing in this section affects your mandatory consumer rights.

17

Privacy and data protection

Where to find details on how your personal data is handled.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal data in connection with Grooop.

By using Grooop, you acknowledge that personal data may be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy on a data protection issue, the Privacy Policy will apply to the extent of that issue.

18

Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated, here's how you'll know.

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make changes that are material, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, for example through the app, website, or another appropriate channel.

By continuing to use Grooop after updated Terms take effect, you agree to the revised Terms, except to the extent prohibited by law.

19

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, you may also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of the part of the UK in which you live.
