Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and BUNCH APP Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), the operator of the BUNCH mobile and web application and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Please read section 9 (Disclaimers) and section 10 (Limitation of liability) carefully — they limit our responsibility for activities you find or arrange through the Service.

1. What BUNCH is — a platform, not the organiser

BUNCH helps people find, organise and join real-life cycling and running activities, and to run clubs, crews and places around them. We provide the app and the tools; we do not run, lead, supervise, vet or endorse any activity, club, crew, place or person on it. Activities are created and run by their organisers. We are not a party to any activity, agreement or arrangement made between users.

2. Eligibility and your account

• You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.
• You are responsible for the information you provide and for keeping your login secure. Give accurate details and keep them up to date.
• You are responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@bunch.cc if you believe your account has been used without permission.
• You may sign in using email, or third-party sign-in (e.g. Apple or Google). Your use of those is also subject to their terms.

3. Organisers' responsibilities

If you post or lead an activity, you are its organiser. You are responsible for:

• how the activity is planned and run, the route, timing and conditions;
• assessing risks and communicating them fairly to those attending;
• complying with the law, the Highway Code, and any landowner or event permissions;
• holding any insurance, licences or permissions your activity needs; and
• your interactions with attendees.

Any insurance, affiliation or credential shown on a profile, club or crew is the organiser's own declaration and is not verified or endorsed by us.

4. Taking part — at your own risk

Cycling, running and related activities carry inherent risks, including injury or death. You take part at your own risk. You are responsible for your own safety, health, fitness, equipment and conduct, and for deciding whether an activity is suitable for you. We do not assess anyone's fitness, competence, equipment or the safety of any route or activity. You should seek medical advice if in doubt about your fitness to take part.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• provide false, misleading or dangerous information;
• harass, threaten, endanger, defraud or impersonate anyone;
• post unlawful, infringing, hateful or harmful content;
• use the Service for commercial spam or to scrape or misuse others' data;
• attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the Service; or
• misrepresent a club, crew, place or business you do not have authority to represent or claim.

We may remove content, and suspend or terminate accounts, that breach these Terms or that we reasonably consider put people at risk.

6. Your content and licence

You keep ownership of the content you add (profile details, activity posts, messages, photos). You are responsible for it and confirm you have the rights to share it.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display your content within the Service and as needed to operate it (for example, showing an activity to riders it's relevant to, or your photo to people on the same ride). This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained for a reasonable period in backups or where we must keep them by law.

Photos on BUNCH are for identity and utility — a person, a venue, a logo — to help people find and understand rides and each other. The Service is not a photo-sharing or social feed, and you must not use it as one.

7. Clubs, crews, places and businesses

• Creating a club or crew makes you its owner, with the tools to manage it.
• You may claim a business or place only if you are authorised to represent it; claims may be reviewed before approval.
• Owners and admins are responsible for the content and conduct of their pages.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, branding and content we provide (excluding your content and third-party content), is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use the Service under these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from it except as the law allows.

9. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind (including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted or error-free operation);
• we do not warrant or endorse any activity, organiser, club, crew, place, business, route, or any information provided by users or third parties; and
• we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of organisers or other users, or for the availability or accuracy of third-party services (such as maps or directions).

10. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under the laws of England and Wales.

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

• we are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your participation in, or organisation of, any activity found or arranged through the Service, or from your dealings with other users;
• we are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special loss, or for loss of profit, data, goodwill or opportunity; and
• our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service and these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) £100, or (b) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. For most community users, who use the Service free of charge, this is £100; for a paying business profile it is the annual subscription fee paid by that business.

If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that these Terms do not affect.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against reasonable claims, losses and costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your content, or an activity you organise, save to the extent caused by our own negligence or breach.

12. Suspension, termination and account deletion

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. On deletion, your account is disabled immediately and removed after a short recovery window (see the Privacy Policy for retention). We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or to protect users or the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13) will do so.

13. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties to function, including hosting and database (Supabase), maps (Mapbox), and notifications and sign-in (Apple, Google, Expo). Your use of features they power may be subject to their terms, and we are not responsible for their services.

14. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may change or discontinue parts of the Service, and we may update these Terms as the Service develops. If we make a material change to the Terms, we will take reasonable steps to tell you (for example, asking you to agree again in the app). Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in your home nation's courts.
