Mea

Terms of Use

Effective date: August 7, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Mea LLC ("Mea," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the Mea mobile application and related services (the "Service"). Please read them carefully.

By creating an account or using Mea, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Please note: Section 16 ("Dispute Resolution") contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class-action waiver. They affect your legal rights, including how disputes with us are resolved. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described in that section.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Mea. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Mea only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using Mea, you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Your account

You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. Please provide accurate information and let us know promptly if you believe your account has been compromised ([email protected]).

3. Your content

You own your content. Collections, items, photos, and text you add to Mea ("Your Content") remain yours. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

License to operate the Service. To run Mea for you, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, copy, back up, process, adapt (for example, resize or reformat), and display Your Content, solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service. This includes allowing our service providers to process Your Content on our behalf, displaying content you choose to share to the people who follow you, and transferring the license in connection with an assignment permitted under Section 17. This license continues while Your Content is on the Service and for a reasonable period afterward for backups and for copies already shared with others, and it survives to the extent needed to operate the Service and comply with law. We do not sell Your Content and do not use it for advertising.

Your responsibility. You represent that you have all rights necessary to upload and share Your Content, that it does not violate these Terms or the rights of others, and that you are responsible for any amounts owed to any person based on Your Content or our hosting of it. All content you submit is your responsibility; we are not responsible for its accuracy or for mistakes or omissions in it.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

Post content that is illegal, infringing, harassing, hateful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, sexually exploitative, or abusive, or that invades another person's privacy.
Upload other people's private information or photographs without their consent.
Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone, or choose offensive or rights-violating names.
Post information you know to be false, misleading, or inaccurate, or engage in deceptive or fraudulent activity.
Send spam or unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional material, chain messages, or auto-responders.
Distribute viruses, malware, or any code or material designed to interfere with the operation of any software, hardware, or equipment.
Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or bypass, disable, or interfere with any security or access-control measures.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, data, password, or other information, whether ours or another party's.
Impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Service or on our third-party providers' infrastructure.
Use any manual or automated means (including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or spiders) to access, "crawl," or "spider" any part of the Service, or to harvest or collect data from it.
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying ideas, or algorithms of any part of the Service, or create derivative works of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

5. Sharing and social features

Mea lets you follow other users and share collections and items. Content you share becomes visible to the people who follow you and may appear in their stream and notifications. You can stop sharing a collection at any time, which prevents new items from being posted; however, content you already shared may remain visible to people who previously received it. Please share thoughtfully.

6. Moderation and enforcement

You can block users and report content within the app. We may, at our discretion, remove content, limit features, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we believe pose a risk to other users or the Service. We are not obligated to monitor content but may do so. We do not vet users or the content they post, and you interact with other users and their content at your own risk.

7. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to [email protected]. We may remove or disable access to content alleged to be infringing, and we will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

8. Our intellectual property

The Mea app, including its name, branding, design, and software (excluding Your Content), is owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You agree to respect all copyright and other notices in the Service, not to create derivative works of it, and not to use our name or branding without our prior written permission. Any commercial use requires our prior written permission.

9. Fees and paid features

The Service is currently free. If we introduce paid features, we will present the applicable pricing and terms at that time. You are responsible for any fees for features you purchase and for any applicable taxes.

10. Our rights

To operate the Service, we retain control over it. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, with or without notice, and without liability. We may determine who is eligible to use the Service, and we may suspend, terminate, or decline to provide the Service to anyone, for any reason, at any time, to the extent permitted by law. We are not liable for any of these actions, and it is our policy not to comment on our reasons for them.

11. Third-party services

Mea relies on third-party providers (including Supabase, Cloudinary, Resend, and Apple) to operate, and the Service may link to or interoperate with third-party sites and services. Your use of the Service may also be subject to those providers' and Apple's applicable terms. We do not control or endorse third-party sites or services, and you access and use them at your own risk. We are not responsible for third-party services.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties implied by course of dealing or usage of trade. No advice or information you obtain from us creates any warranty. Mea may be offered as a pre-release or test version and may contain errors, change, or be discontinued at any time. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that content will never be lost. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of anything important to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mea and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, or the conduct or content of any third party. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mea and its operator from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs) arising out of or related to Your Content, your use or misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.

15. Termination

You may stop using Mea and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content-license limits already granted, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

16. Dispute Resolution: Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

16.1 Arbitration agreement. You and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) each party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual-property rights, and (b) either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies.

16.2 Class-action and jury waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative action. You and we waive any right to a jury trial. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 will be void.

16.3 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 16 by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

16.4 Rules and governing law. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside, and for claims of $10,000 or less may be decided on documents alone. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Except as provided by the arbitration agreement above, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Florida will have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration.

17. Assignment

These Terms are personal to you. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense them, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. We may assign, transfer, or delegate our rights and obligations under these Terms without your consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

18. General

These Terms, together with the materials referenced in them, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms stay in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it or of any other provision.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice. New versions will not apply retroactively. Your continued use of Mea after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
