Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and HappyLike, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("we," "us," "our"), governing your use of HappyLike and any related websites, applications, and services (the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Community Guidelines, each incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Section 14 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class action waiver that affect your legal rights. Please read it carefully.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.

If you are between 13 and 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, and you represent that your parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete the account and associated data. To report an underage account, contact [email protected].

You may not use the Service if you have previously been removed from it, or if applicable law bars you from doing so.

3. Your account

You are responsible for your account, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity that occurs under it. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.

You must provide accurate information and keep it current. One person, one account. You may not sell, transfer, or share your account.

Usernames are licensed to you, not owned by you. We may reclaim a username that is inactive, infringing, impersonating, or used in bad faith.

4. Your content

You own what you post. We claim no ownership of your text, photos, videos, or other content ("Your Content").

License you give us. To operate the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting, transcoding, and resizing), publish, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute Your Content, solely for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete Your Content, except:

• for content others have shared or saved, which may persist;
• for reasonable backup copies retained for a limited period; and
• for content retained as part of a moderation or legal record (see §7).

You represent that you own or have the rights to Your Content, and that Your Content does not infringe anyone's rights or violate any law or these Terms.

We may promote the Service using Your Content that you have made public — for example, featuring a public post in marketing materials. We do not use the content of anyone under 18 in promotional material. If you would rather we did not use yours, contact [email protected] and we will honor the request going forward.

5. Our content and license to you

The Service itself — software, design, trademarks, and our own content — belongs to us or our licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, scrape, or create derivative works from the Service, or use automated means to access it, except as expressly permitted by our public API terms (if and when offered) or by applicable law.

6. Rules of use

Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines. Violating them is a violation of these Terms.

7. Moderation, enforcement, and your visibility

We may review, screen, remove, restrict, or refuse any content, and suspend or terminate any account, at our discretion, including through automated systems.

Automated screening. Content may be automatically analyzed for violations. Clearly violating content may be withheld from publication before human review.

Ranking is not removal. We may rank, de-rank, feature, or decline to feature content in any feed or discovery surface. Reduced distribution is not a removal and does not require notice.

Notice and appeal. When we remove content or act against your account, we will make reasonable efforts to tell you why and to offer an appeal. Appeals are reviewed by someone other than the original reviewer. We may act without prior notice where we believe there is a risk of imminent harm, legal exposure, or where notice would compromise an investigation.

Records. We retain records of moderation decisions, including a description or hash of removed content, after the content itself is deleted. These records support appeals, repeat-violation detection, and legal obligations, and are not removed by deleting your account or content.

No obligation to monitor. We may, but are not required to, monitor content. Nothing here creates a duty to review, remove, or act on any particular content.

8. Termination

You may delete your account at any time in your settings. Deletion removes your content from public view and initiates permanent deletion within 30 days, subject to the retention exceptions in §4 and §7.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for violation of these Terms, for legal reasons, or where we reasonably believe continued access presents a risk to other users or to us.

Sections 4 (license granted), 7 (records), 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 survive termination.

9. Copyright — DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

To submit a notice, send the following to our Designated Agent:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing and enough information for us to locate it (a URL);
• your contact information;
• a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Designated Agent: Copyright Agent, HappyLike, LLC, St. George, UT 84790, [email protected]

Counter-notices may be submitted by the person whose material was removed, following 17 U.S.C. §512(g). We will forward counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore the material after the statutory waiting period.

Repeat infringers. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

Misrepresentation. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f).

10. Third parties and links

The Service may contain links to or content from third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, sites, products, or services, including advertisers. Your dealings with third parties are between you and them.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that content will be accurate or reliable.

The Service is not a crisis, medical, or mental health service. We may surface third-party support resources as a convenience. We do not provide medical, psychological, or emergency services, we do not endorse or control third-party resources, and we are not responsible for them. If you are in danger or experiencing a crisis, contact emergency services or a crisis line. In the U.S., call or text 988.

User content is not ours. We do not endorse and are not responsible for content posted by users. Interactions with other users are at your own risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions; those exclusions may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither HappyLike, LLC nor its members, officers, employees, or agents will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising from or relating to the Service, however caused and on any theory of liability.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) $100.

These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose, and apply to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; those may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HappyLike, LLC and its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Disputes — arbitration and class action waiver

14.1 Informal resolution first. Before filing anything, contact us at [email protected] with a description of the dispute. We will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.

14.2 Agreement to arbitrate. If we can't resolve it informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its consumer arbitration rules, rather than in court.

14.3 Exceptions. This section does not apply to:

• claims that qualify for small claims court, which either party may bring there;
• claims for injunctive relief regarding intellectual property;
• claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment, which you may bring in court under the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act;
• any claim that applicable law does not permit to be arbitrated.

14.4 Class action waiver. You and we agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding.

14.5 Mass arbitration batching. If 25 or more similar claims are filed against us by or with the assistance of the same counsel or coordinated entities, the claims will be administered in batches of no more than 50, with a single arbitrator per batch resolving a representative selection first. The parties will apply the outcomes of the initial batch to resolve remaining claims in good faith before proceeding further. Limitations periods are tolled for claims awaiting a batch.

14.6 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms and will not affect your use of the Service.

14.7 Fees. Arbitration fees are governed by the administrator's consumer rules. Where those rules require, we will pay the fees for which we are responsible.

14.8 Severability. If the class action waiver in 14.4 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court and the remainder of this section remains in effect.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of laws principles. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Washington County, Utah.

16. Changes

We may modify these Terms. For material changes, we will give notice through the Service or by email at least 14 days before they take effect, and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the changes. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.

17. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the documents incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.

Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
