We are Unite ("Company," "we," "us," "our"). We operate the Unite mobile application — a platform for real-world gatherings, social communities called Families, and shared in-person experiences.

By accessing the Services, you confirm you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services. We may update these Terms from time to time; continued use after any changes constitutes acceptance.
Unite is a mobile application designed to facilitate real-world social gatherings ("happenings"), persistent social groups ("Families"), and connected in-person communities. Features include discovering happenings on a live map, joining group chats, building a social profile, and connecting with people nearby.
The Services are intended for personal, non-commercial use. Those who access the Services from outside their jurisdiction of residence do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.
We own or license all intellectual property in the Services — including source code, design, graphics, text, and the Unite brand. The Services are provided for your personal, non-commercial use only.
You retain ownership of content you create and post. By posting, you grant Unite a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, display, and distribute your content solely to operate and improve the Services. You are solely responsible for what you post.
Unite is built around real-world presence and authentic identity. Each person may hold only one Unite account. Creating multiple accounts — under your own name, a pseudonym, or another person's identity — is a serious violation of these Terms and may result in permanent removal from the platform.
Unite uses phone-number verification via Firebase OTP to authenticate users. Your phone number is your identity anchor. Sharing accounts, using virtual numbers to create duplicates, or impersonating another person are strictly prohibited.
Because Unite connects people in real life — at happenings, in Families, within local communities — the integrity of each profile directly affects the safety and trust of every other member.
If we determine you have created or are operating multiple accounts, we reserve the right to terminate all associated accounts without notice and without refund of any paid subscriptions. Further legal action may be taken where appropriate.
Unite uses Stripe to process all payments. By making any purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and authorise Stripe to process payment on our behalf.
Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis. All prices include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
Payments are generally non-refundable. Contact us within 14 days of any error at connect[at]unite.earth. Refunds are at our discretion in line with applicable consumer law.
Cancel anytime through the app or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice to active subscribers. Continued use after the change constitutes acceptance.
Subscriptions are tied to a single account. If your account is terminated for violating these Terms — including creating multiple accounts — you are not entitled to a refund for any unused period.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
The Services allow you to create and share content — including happening descriptions, profile information, photos, and messages in group chats and Family channels. You retain ownership; we do not claim your content as our own. We may remove content that violates these Terms at our sole discretion.
These Terms remain in effect while you use the Services. We may terminate or suspend your account at any time, with or without notice, for breach of these Terms — including creating multiple accounts. If terminated, you may not re-register under any name.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom. Both parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United Kingdom for any dispute arising under these Terms.
Before commencing formal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least 30 days by contacting connect[at]unite.earth. If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be referred to binding arbitration under the European Arbitration Chamber, seated in the United Kingdom, in English. No class actions.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. UNITE FACILITATES REAL-WORLD GATHERINGS BUT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, SAFETY, OR ACTIONS OF ANY USER AT ANY HAPPENING OR EVENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNITE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF £50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO UNITE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Unite and its affiliates from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, or any harmful act you commit toward another member.
We're a small team building something meaningful. A real person will respond.
