By downloading, installing, or using the Spot application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Spot ("we," "us," or "our").
You must be at least 18 years of age to use Spot. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older. We reserve the right to terminate accounts of users found to be under 18.
You agree to use Spot only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You agree not to:
Spot is a proximity-based social discovery platform. Users are solely responsible for their interactions with other users, including any interactions that may occur between colleagues, coworkers, or individuals sharing a professional relationship. By using Spot, you acknowledge and agree that:
If you are using Spot in a workplace, hospital, campus, or other professional environment, you are solely responsible for your conduct and compliance with your organization's policies. Spot has no visibility into professional affiliations and cannot be held responsible for workplace consequences.
Spot uses your device's location to show approximate distances to nearby users. Your exact GPS coordinates are never shared with other users — only an approximate distance (e.g., "~30 ft") is displayed. Precise location data is only used for emergency safety features and is never stored on our servers for any other purpose. By using the App, you consent to this limited use of your location data as described in our Privacy Policy.
Spot includes optional emergency features including shake-to-alert and the ability to pre-fill emergency service communications with your location. These features are provided as a convenience only. Spot makes no warranty that these features will function in all circumstances.
Always contact emergency services directly in the event of an emergency. Text-to-911 availability varies by location — if unavailable in your area, please use the call function. Spot is not a substitute for emergency services.
Spot offers an optional visibility timer that allows users to remain visible on the platform for a set duration. By using this feature, you acknowledge and agree that:
Spot's visibility features are tools to help you control your experience. Responsibility for managing your visibility at all times remains solely with you. When in doubt, go invisible.
You retain ownership of content you submit to Spot, including photos and profile information. By submitting content, you grant Spot a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and store your content solely for the purpose of operating the App. You represent that you have the right to submit all content you provide.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. You may delete your account at any time through the App settings.
Spot is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the App will be available at all times or error-free. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user, whether online or offline. Meeting strangers carries inherent risks — always meet in public places and trust your instincts.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Spot and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to personal injury, property damage, romantic or professional relationship consequences, or data loss.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spot and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your interactions with other users.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Lubbock County, Texas.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
