Komorei may integrate with or contain links to third-party services that are not owned or controlled by us. Notably, payments on Komorei are processed via Stripe, and our app may use other services (for example, map services to display event locations). Your use of third-party services is subject to each service’s own terms and privacy policy, not these Terms. For example, when you make a payment, you are also agreeing to Stripe’s terms by using their service on our Platform. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for third-party websites or services. If you follow a link to a third-party site (for example, a social media link in a Host’s profile or a café’s website), you do so at your own risk, and you understand that our Terms and Privacy Policy do not apply to those external sites.

Komorei is also available via mobile app marketplaces (Apple App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android). Use of our app is subject to the respective app store rules as well. For example, if you downloaded Komorei from the App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries to these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as an end-user of the app. However, your direct relationship is with Komorei, not Apple or Google. If you have questions, complaints, or claims regarding the mobile app, you should contact Komorei (see “Contact Us” below), not Apple or Google.

Komorei provides the Platform to help users connect and organize events, but we do not supervise or control those events or the interactions between individuals. Events listed on Komorei are organized and run by Hosts and Venues who are independent from Komorei. Komorei does not conduct background checks on users (Hosts, Attendees, or Venues) and does not vet the safety, quality, or legality of any event. We do not guarantee that any event will meet your expectations, or that the Host or Venue will comply with their obligations. User content (including event descriptions, profiles, and comments) is not endorsed or approved by Komorei – it reflects the views of the users who provided it. While we may, at our discretion, moderate content or handle complaints, we make no warranty that all inappropriate behavior or content will be caught or addressed.

Use of the Platform and attendance at any event is at your own risk. Komorei is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the maximum extent allowed by law, we specifically disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any guarantees of accuracy, reliability, or availability. For example, we do not promise that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, that events will be safe or will actually occur, or that information provided by users (such as event details or personal profiles) is true or up-to-date

If you are a Host or Venue, you acknowledge that Komorei is not responsible for assisting you in complying with lawsapplicable to your events or business. For instance, if your jurisdiction requires insurance or special permits for events, or if there are health regulations for café gatherings, you (not Komorei) are responsible for adhering to those requirements. Komorei disclaims all liability for the actions or omissions of any user, Host, Venue, or other third party.

Because Komorei is simply a facilitator of in-person meetups, you understand that there are inherent risks in attending or hosting social events. By using the Platform, you agree that you are voluntarily assuming all risks related to your in-person interactions and activities through Komorei. This includes potential risks of physical injury, illness (for example, exposure to communicable diseases), loss or damage of property, or other unforeseen events that may occur at a café event. You also agree that Komorei is not responsible for any personal injuries, deaths, property damages, thefts, or other losses that happen during or as a result of an event organized through our Platform, to the maximum extent permitted by law

Hosts and Venues are fully responsible for the events they provide. Komorei does not supervise events or guarantee the behavior of any participants. We do not verify the identity or qualifications of Hosts, nor the condition or suitability of Venues, and we do not guarantee any specific outcome from an event. By participating in an event, you release Komorei and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims or liability arising from the event or related interactions. For example, if you are injured at an event or unsatisfied with how it was run, you agree that your claim is against the Host or possibly the Venue not against Komorei, since Komorei itself was not hosting or managing the event

This release does not apply to any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. However, in jurisdictions that allow liability waivers, you waive and discharge any and all claims or causes of action against Komorei that arise from your participation in events or your use of the Platform, whether those claims are known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected. We advise all users to exercise common sense and caution in all interactions and to prioritize safety at events (for example, meet in public places, keep personal belongings secure, etc.).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Komorei and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages that result from or are related to the use of the Platform or participation in events. This includes, for example, damages for lost profits, loss of data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Komorei’s total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the services shall not exceed the amount (if any) you paid to us for access to the Platform in the 6 months preceding the claim, or CAD $100, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. In any case, Komorei’s liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

No Joint Liability: We facilitate connections and transactions between Hosts, Venues, and Attendees, but we are not jointly liable for the obligations of those parties. If a Host fails to deliver an event or a Venue fails to provide the agreed space or services, Komorei is not liable for those breaches. Any dispute or claim arising from interactions between users should be resolved between the parties involved, without implicating Komorei, to the extent possible

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Komorei and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform or services, (b) your violation of these Terms or of any law or regulation, (c) your infringement of any rights of another party (including other users or any third parties), or (d) your events or interactions with Hosts, Attendees, or Venues through Komorei. This means that if you, as a Host, violate someone’s rights or cause harm and Komorei is sued as a result, or if you, as an Attendee, harm someone at an event, you will cover Komorei for any costs or liabilities incurred from those incidents. Komorei reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense strategy.

By Us: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to Komorei at any time, with or without notice, if we believe (in our sole discretion) that you have violated these Terms, any applicable law, or you are otherwise misusing the Platform. In most cases of minor violations, we will attempt to send a warning or work with you to resolve the issue before terminating. However, for serious violations or illegal activities, your account can be terminated immediately. We are not liable to you for any such suspension or termination of service. If your account is terminated, you remain bound by the sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (such as provisions on liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, etc.).

Komorei is currently operated by a business registered in Canada. Therefore, these Terms and any dispute arising from them or your use of the Platform will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you reside outside of Canada, you still agree that Canadian law governs your use of Komorei.  Nothing in these Terms is intended to undermine any rights you have under consumer protection laws in your province, state, or country of residence. In other words, if local law in your area provides you certain protections or rights that cannot be waived, those provisions will still apply to you.

Dispute Resolution: We encourage you to contact us first to try to resolve any issue informally. Often, a quick chat or email can resolve misunderstandings. If we cannot resolve a dispute amicably, and unless prohibited by law, you and Komorei agree that any legal claim will be handled individually (not as part of a class action). At this time, we do not require arbitration – you may proceed in court. However, both you and Komorei waive any right to a jury trial if permitted under applicable law, opting instead for a trial before a judge if a trial occurs. This jury trial waiver does not apply where prohibited by law (for instance, some jurisdictions do not allow predispute jury waivers).

While these Terms are governed by Canadian law, Komorei is intended to be used in various locations. As a user, you are responsible for obeying all laws and regulations that apply to your use of the Platform and participation in events in your local jurisdiction. This means, for example, if you are a Host in the United States, you must follow U.S. laws (and state/local laws) regarding events (including any tax obligations, permitting, or safety regulations). Similarly, Venues must ensure they comply with health and safety codes, capacity limits, liquor licensing (if applicable), etc., when allowing events. Komorei strives to create a community that respects legal boundaries everywhere. If we discover conduct or content that violates local law, we may take action (such as removing content, cancelling events, or reporting to authorities) as appropriate.

Komorei is an evolving service, and we may update these Terms to adapt to new features, legal requirements, or other changes. If we make material changes, we will notify users through the app, website, or via the email associated with your account, at least 30 days before the updated Terms take effect whenever feasible. The notice will outline the key changes. If you continue to use Komorei after the new Terms become effective, that constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using Komorei and, if desired, delete your account before the changes take effect.
