Tap In — Terms of Service

These terms are the rules for using Tap In, a social app for finding bars and restaurants, tapping into them when you're actually there, and sharing that with friends. Tap In is run by Zaimes Holdings LLC ("we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using Tap In, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

Who can use Tap In

• You must be at least 13 years old.
• You're responsible for your account and for keeping your login private. Give us accurate information, and use one account for yourself.
• Bar and restaurant accounts must be created by someone authorized to act for that business.

Alcohol and being responsible

Many places on Tap In serve alcohol. Tap In doesn't sell or serve alcohol, and it doesn't check anyone's age to enter a venue. Each venue checks ID itself and decides who it lets in. If you're under the legal drinking age, don't drink alcohol. If you drink, do it responsibly, and never drive after drinking. Tapping into a place is not an invitation or a recommendation to drink.

Tapping in and your location

• Tap in only when you're really at the place. Don't use fake locations, spoofing tools or anything else to pretend you're somewhere you're not.
• Tap-ins are limited (for example, once per place every 12 hours) to keep them meaningful.
• Tap In shows your check-ins to your mutual friends, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Your content and how you behave

You keep ownership of the photos, videos, messages and other content you post. By posting, you give us permission to store it, display it to the people you share it with, and operate the app with it. Only post things you have the right to share.

• No illegal content, threats, harassment, hate, or content that sexualizes or endangers anyone.
• Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse or exploitation. We remove it, suspend the account, and report it to the authorities where the law requires.
• No impersonating others, spam, scams, scraping, or trying to break or overload Tap In.
• Respect other people. You can block or report anyone from a chat or their profile. We review reports and may remove content or suspend accounts.

Bars and restaurants

• You're responsible for the accuracy of your listing, hours, menu, drinks and promotions, and for honoring the promotions you post.
• Ratings come only from guests who tapped in at your place. You can't buy, offer rewards for, or remove ratings.
• Pilot restaurants and bars can use Tap In free until our official launch on April 15, 2027. After that, a monthly subscription applies. Subscriptions are billed through Stripe, have no contract, and you can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you've already paid for.
• We'll tell you before changing the price. We may pause or end an account that isn't paid for.
• Before a venue joins, Tap In may show an address-only listing for it so guests can tap in. It has no business name and no owner, and we replace it with the venue's own listing when the venue joins. To have an address-only listing removed, email us.

Other services

Tap In relies on services from others, including Supabase, Stripe, Google, Apple and Expo. Their availability and terms are outside our control, and they may change.

Our rights

The Tap In app, name, logo and artwork belong to Zaimes Holdings LLC. We give you a personal, non-exclusive license to use the app for its intended purpose. Don't copy, resell, reverse-engineer or misuse it.

Ending your account

You can delete your account any time from the Profile tab. We may suspend or end an account that breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or is used to harm Tap In.

Disclaimers and limits

Tap In is provided "as is" and "as available." We work hard on it, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free, that listings, hours or promotions are accurate, or that any venue will meet your expectations. Meeting people and visiting places carries risk, and you do so at your own judgment.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Zaimes Holdings LLC isn't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for the actions of other users or venues. Our total liability for any claim relating to Tap In is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

Disputes and governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be handled in the state or federal courts located in New York.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If we make a meaningful change, we'll update the date above, and continuing to use Tap In after that means you accept the new terms.
