Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 8, 2026
DRAFT — REQUIRES LEGAL REVIEW BEFORE PUBLICATION.
1. Acceptance
By using Dibby, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Dibby. If you're between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your country), you must have permission from a parent or guardian.
3. Your Account
You're responsible for:
- Keeping your login credentials secure
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Providing accurate information
You may sign up with either an email address or a phone number. You may link both to one account.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree NOT to:
- Use Dibby for illegal purposes
- Spam, harass, or impersonate others
- Add fake or misleading expenses to defraud group members
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape the app
- Use the app to launder money or facilitate illegal payments
- Bypass our rate limits or security controls
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
5. Money & Settlements
Important: Dibby is a tracking and communication tool. We do NOT process payments. Settlements you mark in the app are between you and the other person — Dibby has no involvement in actual money transfer.
If you have a dispute with another user about an expense or settlement, that's between you. We can provide a copy of the activity log if needed.
6. Content You Upload
When you upload receipt photos, group images, or other content, you grant Dibby a limited license to store and display that content within the app for the purpose of providing the service.
You retain all rights to your content. You can delete it at any time.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
Dibby is provided "as is". We do our best to keep things working, but we don't guarantee:
- The app will always be available
- Data will never be lost (we backup, but always keep your own records of important transactions)
- The app is bug-free
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dibby's total liability to you is limited to the amount you've paid us in the past 12 months (which is currently $0 for free users; capped at the subscription fee for paid users).
9. Modifications
We may update these terms. We'll notify you at least 30 days in advance of material changes via email or in-app.
10. Termination
You can delete your account at any time via Settings. Deletion takes effect after a 30-day grace period.
We can terminate or suspend accounts that violate these terms, with notice when possible.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION TO BE FILLED] without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
12. Disputes
Any disputes will be resolved by [arbitration / courts of jurisdiction]. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of accepting these terms.
