Terms of Service
Overview
Effective October 15, 2025 |
Interreference LLC builds technologies and services that enable people to connect with
each other, build communities, and grow businesses. These Terms of Service (the "Terms")
govern your access and use of Interreference LLC and the other products, websites,
features, apps, services, technologies, and software we offer (the Interreference LLC
Products), except where we expressly state that separate terms (and not these) apply.
These Products are provided to you by Interreference LLC. These Terms therefore
constitute an agreement between you and Interreference LLC. If you do not agree to these
Terms, then do not access or use Interreference LLC or the other products and services
covered by these Terms.
These Terms make up the entire agreement between you and Interreference LLC regarding
your use of our Products. They supersede any prior agreements.
We don’t charge you to use Interreference LLC or the other products and services covered
by these Terms, unless we state otherwise. Instead, businesses and organizations, and
other persons pay us to show you ads for their products and services. By using our
Products, you agree that we can show you ads that we think may be relevant to you and
your interests. We use your personal data to help determine which personalized ads to
show you.
We don’t sell your personal data to advertisers, and we don’t share information that directly
identifies you (such as your name, email address or other contact information) with
advertisers unless you give us specific permission. Instead, advertisers can tell us things
like the kind of audience they want to see their ads, and we show those ads to people who
may be interested. We provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads
that help them understand how people are interacting with their content. See Section 2
below to learn more about how personalized advertising under these terms works on the
Interreference LLC Products.
1. The services we provide
Our mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer
together. To help advance this mission, we provide the Products and services described
below to you:
1.2 Connect you with people and organizations you care about:
We help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others
that matter to you across the Interreference LLC Products you use. We use data to make
suggestions for you and others - for example, Interreference LLC Pages to follow or send a
message to, shows to watch, and people you may want to become friends with. Stronger
ties make for better communities, and we believe our services are most useful when
people are connected to people, groups, and organizations they care about.
1.3 Empower you to express yourself and communicate about what matters to you:
Interreference LLC provides ways to communicate with what matters to you.
1.4 Help you discover content, products, and services that may interest you:
We show you personalized ads, offers, and other sponsored or commercial content to help
you discover content, products, and services that are offered by the many businesses and
organizations that use Interreference LLC and other Interreference LLC Products. Section 2
below explains this in more detail.
1.5 Promote the safety, security, and integrity of our services, combat harmful conduct
and keep our community of users safe:
People will only build community on Interreference LLC Products if they feel safe and
secure. We work hard to maintain the security (including the availability, authenticity,
integrity, and confidentiality) of our Products and services. We use technical systems to
detect potential misuse of our Products, harmful conduct towards others, and situations
where we may be able to help support or protect our community, including to respond to
user reports of potentially violating content. If we learn of content or conduct like this, we
may take appropriate action based on our assessment that may include - notifying you,
offering help, removing content, removing or restricting access to certain features,
disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement. We share data across Interreference
LLC Companies when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone using one of our
Products or to help keep Interreference LLC Products, users and the community safe. For
example, we share information with Interreference LLC Companies that provide financial
products and services to help them promote safety, security and integrity and comply with
applicable law. Interreference LLC may access, preserve, use and share any information it
collects about you where it has a good faith belief it is required or permitted by law to do so.
For more information, please review our Privacy Policy .
In some cases, the Oversight Board may review our decisions, subject to its terms and
bylaws.
1.6 Use and develop advanced technologies to provide safe and functional services
for everyone:
We will be implementing technologies so that people can use our Products safely
regardless of physical ability or geographic location. We will be improving our ability to
detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the
integrity of our Products.
1.7 Research ways to make our services better:
We engage in research to develop, test, and improve our Products. This includes analyzing
data we have about our users and understanding how people use our Products, for
example by conducting surveys and testing and troubleshooting new features. Our Privacy
Policy explains how we use data to support this research for the purposes of developing
and improving our services.
1.8 Provide consistent and seamless experiences across the Interreference LLC
Company Products:
Our Products help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations,
and others that are important to you. We design our systems so that your experience is
consistent and seamless across the different Interreference LLC Products that you use.
1.9 Ensuring access to our services:
To operate our global services and enable you to connect with people around the world, we
need to transfer, store and distribute content and data to our data centers, partners,
service providers, vendors and systems around the world, including outside your country of
residence. The use of this global infrastructure is necessary and essential to provide our
services. This infrastructure may be owned, operated, or controlled by Interreference LLC
or its affiliates.
2. How our services are funded
Instead of paying to use Interreference LLC and the other products and services we offer,
by using the Interreference LLC Products covered by these Terms, you agree that we can
show you personalized ads and other commercial and sponsored content that businesses
and organizations pay us to promote on and off Interreference LLC Products. We use your
personal data, such as information about your activity and interests, to show you
personalized ads and sponsored content that may be more relevant to you.
Protecting people's privacy is central to how we've designed our personalized ads system.
This means that we can show you relevant and useful ads without telling advertisers who
you are. We don't sell your personal data. We allow advertisers to tell us things like their
business goal, and the kind of audience they want to see their ads (for example, people
between the age of 18-35 who like cycling). We then show their ad to people who we think
might be interested.
We also provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads to help them
understand how people are interacting with their content on and off Interreference LLC
Products. For example, we provide general demographic and interest information to
advertisers to help them better understand their audience, like the fact that women
between the ages of 25 and 34 who live in Madrid and like software engineering have seen
an ad. We don’t share information that directly identifies you (information such as your
name or email address that by itself can be used to contact you or identifies who you are)
unless you give us specific permission. Learn more about how Interreference LLC ads
work.
We collect and use your personal data in order to provide the services described above to
you. You can learn about how we collect and use your data in our Privacy Policy. You have
controls over the types of ads and advertisers you see, and the types of information we use
to determine which ads we show you.
3. Your commitments to Interreference LLC and our community
We provide these services to you and others to help advance our mission. In exchange, we
need you to make the following commitments:
3.1 Who can use Interreference LLC
When people stand behind their opinions and actions, our community is safer and more
accountable. For this reason, you must:
• Provide for your account the same name that you use in everyday life.
• Provide accurate information about yourself.
• Create only one account (your own) and use it for personal purposes.
• Not share your password, give access to your Interreference LLC account to others,
or transfer your account to anyone else (without our permission).
We try to make Interreference LLC broadly available to everyone, but you cannot use
Interreference LLC if:
• You are under 13 years old.
• You are a convicted sex offender.
• We've previously disabled your account for violations of our Terms, the Community
Standards, or other terms and policies that apply to your use of Interreference LLC.
If we disable your account for a violation of our Terms, the Community Standards,
or other terms and policies, you agree not to create another account without our
permission. Receiving permission to create a new account is provided at our sole
discretion, and does not mean or imply that the disciplinary action was wrong or
without cause.
• You are prohibited from receiving our products, services, or software under
applicable laws.
3.2 What you can share and do on Interreference LLC Products
We want people to use Interreference LLC Products to express themselves and to share
content that is important to them, but not at the expense of the safety and well-being of
others or the integrity of our community. You therefore agree not to engage in the conduct
described below (or to facilitate or support others in doing so):
1. You may not use our Products to do or share anything:
• That violates these Terms, the Community Standards, or that apply to your
use of our Products.
• That is unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or fraudulent (or assists
someone else in using our Products in such a way).
• That you do not own or have the necessary rights to share.
• That infringes or violates someone else's rights, including their intellectual
property rights (such as by infringing another’s copyright or trademark, or
distributing or selling counterfeit or pirated goods), unless an exception or
limitation applies under applicable law.
2. You may not upload viruses or malicious code, use the services to send spam, or do
anything else that could disable, overburden, interfere with, or impair the proper
working, integrity, operation, or appearance of our services, systems, or Products.
3. You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means
(without our prior permission) or attempt to access data you do not have permission
to access, regardless of whether such automated access or collection is
undertaken while logged-in to a Interreference LLC account.
4. You may not proxy, request, or collect Product usernames or passwords, or
misappropriate access tokens.
5. Except as provided in the Platform Terms, you may not sell, license, or purchase
any data obtained from us or our services, regardless of whether such data was
obtained while logged-in to a Interreference LLC account.
6. You may not misuse any reporting, flagging, dispute, or appeals channel, such as by
making fraudulent, duplicative, or groundless reports or appeals.
7. You may not do, or attempt to do, anything to circumvent, bypass, or override any
technological measures that Interreference LLC uses to control or limit access to
our Products or data.
We can remove or restrict access to content that is in violation of these provisions. We can
also suspend or disable your account for conduct that violates these provisions, as
provided in Section 4.2.
If we remove content that you have shared in violation of the Community Standards, we’ll
let you know and explain any options you have to request another review, unless you
seriously or repeatedly violate these Terms or if doing so may expose us or others to legal
liability; harm our community of users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or
operation of any of our services, systems or Products; where we are restricted due to
technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons. For
information on account suspension or termination, see Section 4.2 below.
To help support our community, we encourage you to content or conduct that you believe
violates your rights (including ) or our terms and policies, if this feature exists in your
jurisdiction. We also can remove or restrict access to content, features, services, or
information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate
misuse of our services or adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Interreference LLC.
3.3 The permissions you give us
We need certain permissions from you to provide our services:
1. Your content: Some content that you share or upload, such as photos or videos, may be
protected by intellectual property laws.
You retain ownership of the intellectual property rights (things like copyright or trademarks)
in any such content that you create and share on Interreference LLC and other you use.
Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to
share your content with anyone else, wherever you want.
However, to provide our services we need you to give us some legal permissions (known as
a "license") to use this content. This is solely for the purposes of providing and improving
our Products and services as described in Section 1 above.
2. Permission to use content you create and share: Specifically, when you share, post, or
upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our
Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and
worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display,
translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your and settings).
This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Interreference LLC, you give us
permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings)
such as Interreference LLC Products or service providers that support those products and
services. This license will end when your content is deleted from our systems.
3. Deleting Your Content: You can delete individual content you share, post, and upload at
any time. In addition, all content posted to your personal account will be deleted if you
delete your account. Account deletion does not automatically delete content that you post
as an admin of a page or content that you create collectively with other users.
It may take up to 90 days to delete content after we begin the account deletion process or
receive a content deletion request. If you send content to trash, the deletion process will
automatically begin in 30 days unless you chose to delete the content sooner. While the
deletion process for such content is being undertaken, the content is no longer visible to
other users. After the content is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it
from backups and disaster recovery systems.
Content will not be deleted within 90 days of the account deletion or content deletion
process beginning in the following situations:
• where your content has been used by others in accordance with this license and
they have not deleted it (in which case this license will continue to apply until that
content is deleted);
• where deletion within 90 days is not possible due to technical limitations of our
systems, in which case, we will complete the deletion as soon as technically
feasible; or
• where immediate deletion would restrict our ability to:
• investigate or identify illegal activity or violations of our terms and policies
(for example, to identify or investigate misuse of our Products or systems);
• protect the safety, integrity, and security of our Products, systems, services,
our employees, and users, and to defend ourselves;
• comply with legal obligations for the preservation of evidence, including data
Interreference LLC Companies providing financial products and services
preserve to comply with any record keeping obligations required by law; or
• comply with a request of a judicial or administrative authority, law
enforcement or a government agency;
in which case, the content will be retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes
for which it has been retained (the exact duration will vary on a case-by-case basis).
In each of the above cases, this license will continue until the content has been fully
deleted.
4. Permission to use your name, profile picture, and information about your actions
with ads and sponsored or commercial content: You give us permission to use your
name and profile picture and information about actions you have taken on Interreference
LLC next to or in connection with ads, offers, and other sponsored or commercial content
that we display across our Products, without any compensation to you. For example, we
may show your friends that you are interested in an advertised event or have liked a
Interreference LLC Page created by a brand that has paid us to display its ads on
Interreference LLC. Ads and content like this can be seen only by people who have your
permission to see the actions you've taken on Interreference LLC Products.
5. Permission to update software you use or download: If you download or use our
software, you give us permission to download and install updates to the software where
available.
3.4 Limits on using our intellectual property
If you use content covered by intellectual property rights that we have and make available
in our Products (for example, images, designs, videos, or sounds we provide that you add to
content you create or share on Interreference LLC), we retain all rights to that content (but
not yours). You can only use our copyrights with our prior written permission. You must
obtain our written permission (or permission under an open source license) to modify,
translate, create derivative works of, decompile, or reverse engineer our products or their
components, or otherwise attempt to extract source code from us, unless an exception or
limitation applies under applicable law. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
4. Additional provisions
4.1 Updating our Terms
We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our
Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these
Terms from time to time to accurately reflect our services and practices, to promote a safe
and secure experience on our Products and services, and/or to comply with applicable law.
Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you before we make changes to these
Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Once any
updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to access or use our
Products.
We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated
Terms or wish to terminate your agreement to this contract, you can delete your account at
any time and you must also stop accessing, or using Interreference LLC and the other
Interreference LLC Products.
4.2 Account suspension or termination
We want Interreference LLC to be a place where people feel welcome and safe to express
themselves and share their thoughts and ideas. If we determine, in our discretion, that you
have clearly, seriously or repeatedly breached our Terms or Policies, including in particular
the Community Standards, we may suspend or permanently disable your access to
Interreference LLC Company Products, and we may permanently disable or delete your
account. We may also disable or delete your account if you repeatedly infringe other
people’s intellectual property rights or where we are required to do so for legal reasons.
We may disable or delete your account if after registration your account is not confirmed,
your account is unused and remains inactive for an extended period of time, or if we detect
someone may have used it without your permission and we are unable to confirm your
ownership of the account.
Where we take such action we’ll let you know and explain any options you have to request a
review, unless doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of
users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our services,
systems or Products; where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are
prohibited from doing so for legal reasons. You can contact us if you think we have disabled
your account by mistake.
If you delete or we disable or delete your account, and you stop accessing, using, or visiting
Interreference LLC and the other Interreference LLC Products, or if this contract is
otherwise terminated, then these Terms shall terminate as an agreement between you and
us, except for the following provisions, which will remain in place: (3, 4.2-4.5).
4.3 Limits on liability
We work hard to provide the best Products we can and to specify clear guidelines for
everyone who uses them. Our Products, however, are provided "as is," and we make no
guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free, or that they will function
without disruptions, delays, or imperfections. To the extent permitted by law, we also
DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and
we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any
content they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, and other
objectionable content).
We cannot predict when issues might arise with our Products. Accordingly, our liability
shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and under no
circumstance will we be liable to you for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or
consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages arising out of
or related to these Terms or the Interreference LLC Products (however caused and on any
theory of liability, including negligence), even if we have been advised of the possibility of
such damages. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the
Interreference LLC Products will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you have
paid us in the past twelve months.
4.4 Disputes
We try to provide clear rules so that we can limit or hopefully avoid disputes between you
and us. If a dispute does arise, however, it's useful to know up front where it can be
resolved and what laws will apply.
You and Interreference LLC each agree that any claim, cause of action, or dispute between
us that arises out of or relates to these Terms or your access or use of the Interreference
LLC Products shall be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County. You also agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such
claim, and that the laws of the State of California will govern these Terms and any claim,
cause of action, or dispute without regard to conflict of law provisions. Without prejudice
to the foregoing, you agree that, in its sole discretion, Interreference LLC may bring any
claim, cause of action, or dispute we have against you in any competent court in the
country in which you reside that has jurisdiction over the claim.
4.5 Miscellaneous
1. Supplemental Terms: Some of the Products we offer are also governed by
supplemental terms. If you use any of those Products, supplemental terms will be
made available and will become part of our agreement with you. For instance, if you
access or use our Products for commercial or business purposes, such as buying
ads, selling products, developing apps, managing a group or Page for your business,
or using our measurement services, you must agree to our Commercial Terms. If you
post or share content containing music, you must comply with our Music Guidlines.
If you use Avatars, then the Avatar Terms also apply. If you use our AI products and
features, the Interreference LLC AI Terms also apply. To the extent any supplemental
terms conflict with these Terms, the supplemental terms shall govern to the extent
of the conflict.
2. Severability: If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the
unenforceable portion will be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary
to make it enforceable, and if it can’t be made enforceable, then it will be severed
and the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect. If we fail to enforce any
of these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver. Any amendment to or waiver of
these Terms must be made in writing and signed by us.
3. No Transfer: You will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms
to anyone else without our consent.
4. Legacy Contact: You may designate a person (called a legacy contact) to manage
your account if it is memorialized. If you enable it in your settings, only your legacy
contact or a person who you have identified in a valid will or similar legal document
expressing clear consent to disclose your content to that person upon death or
incapacity will be able to seek limited of information from your account after it is
memorialized.
5. No Third-party Beneficiaries: These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary
rights. All of our rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us
in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or
otherwise.
6. User Name Change: We may need to change the username for your account in
certain circumstances (for example, if someone else claims the username and it
appears unrelated to the name you use in everyday life).
7. Feedback: We always appreciate your feedback and other suggestions about our
products and services. But we may use feedback and other suggestions without any
restriction or obligation to compensate you, and we are under no obligation to keep
them confidential.
