1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Social Nexus. Social Nexus is a group of platforms that exist to support meaningful, real-world groups—such as churches and other faith communities, book clubs, fitness communities, and accountability circles—as members build stronger connections and work toward personal and shared goals. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Social Nexus, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company ("Social Nexus," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Social Nexus mobile applications, any platform owned and operated by Social Nexus, and any related services (collectively, the "Apps").

If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent's or legal guardian's permission to use the Apps and that they have read and agree to these Terms on your behalf.
We reserve the right to request verification of age at any time and to terminate accounts if we have reason to believe a user does not meet the eligibility requirements.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SOCIAL NEXUS OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, COVER, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Social Nexus and its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with:

Your User Content;
Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation;
Your violation of any rights of any third party; or
Your participation in any in-person event or activity coordinated through the Apps.
Social Nexus reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.
13. Dispute Resolution
13.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at legal@socialnexus.group and attempt to resolve any dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of submission, either party may proceed to binding arbitration as set forth below.
13.2 Binding Arbitration
You and Social Nexus agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Apps (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies.
The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by this Section 13. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS rules. The arbitration will be held in Maricopa County, Arizona, unless you and Social Nexus agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that such location would pose an undue hardship.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You understand that by agreeing to arbitration, you are waiving your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.
13.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND SOCIAL NEXUS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Social Nexus agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding.
Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.
13.4 Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@socialnexus.group within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue to apply.
14. Governing Law
These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Apps shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
If the arbitration agreement in Section 13 is found not to apply to you or your Dispute, or if you opt out of arbitration, you agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
15. General Provisions
15.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, constitute the entire agreement between you and Social Nexus regarding your use of the Apps and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral.
15.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.
15.3 Waiver
The failure of Social Nexus to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Social Nexus.
15.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Social Nexus. Social Nexus may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
15.5 Notices
We may provide notices to you via email to the address associated with your account or by posting notices within the Apps. You are responsible for keeping your email address current. Notices sent by email will be deemed received when sent. Notices posted within the Apps will be deemed received when posted.
15.6 Headings
The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms in the Apps and updating the "Last Updated" date above. We may also notify you by email. Your continued use of the Apps after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Apps.
