Terms of Service

Last updated: October 18, 2025

When you use Maintain ("the Service"), you are agreeing to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Violation of these terms may, at our discretion, result in us terminating your account.

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. If we make significant changes, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and notify users via email or through the Service.

Definitions

  • "Company," "we," "our," or "us" in any of our policies or terms, refers to Maintain Social LLC.
  • "Service" refers to the Maintain mobile and web application, including all features, content, and functionality provided through maintain.com, our mobile applications, or any other format we may offer.
  • "You" or "your" refers to the individual who owns an account with the Service. You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age.

Account Terms

  • Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. Accounts created by individuals under 18 are not permitted, and we reserve the right to terminate any account that violates this requirement.
  • Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree not to share your password with others and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account. The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
  • Account Responsibility: You are responsible for all content posted to and all activity that occurs under your account. If you authorize others to access your account, you remain fully responsible for their actions.
  • Human Accounts Only: Accounts registered by bots, automated methods, or any non-human entity are not permitted. You agree to use the Service only for personal, non-commercial purposes.
  • Content Standards: You agree that all content you post to the Service must comply with the Content Policy outlined below. You are solely responsible for the content you post.

Content Policy

The Service is designed as a private, friends-only space for meaningful connection. To maintain the integrity and safety of the platform, you agree not to post content that includes:

  • Violent, threatening, or harassing language or imagery
  • Pornographic, sexually explicit, or sexually suggestive content
  • Illegal content or content that promotes illegal activities
  • Content that facilitates discrimination, hate, or harassment based on protected characteristics (including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or national origin)
  • Impersonation of another person or entity
  • Spam, commercial solicitation, or advertising
  • Malicious code, viruses, or technology designed to harm or disrupt the Service
  • Intellectual property that you do not own or have the right to use
  • Misinformation designed to deceive or cause harm
  • Any other content that we reasonably determine violates the spirit of this Policy

Your Responsibility: You agree that you are solely responsible for the content you post. You warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all content you post, and that posting such content does not infringe on any third-party rights.

Moderation: Because Maintain is a private, friends-only network, moderation is primarily peer-enforced within your social circles. However, we reserve the right (but not the obligation) to investigate reports of content violations, and we may remove content or terminate accounts at our sole discretion if we determine that content violates this Policy or applicable law.

Payment, Refunds, and Plan Changes

  • Free Tier: We currently offer a free tier of the Service with limited storage. The free tier includes up to 5GB of storage, though this limit may change at our discretion. If we change storage limits, we will notify you via email with advance notice whenever reasonable.
  • Future Paid Tiers: When we introduce paid subscription options, they will be offered on a monthly subscription basis for additional storage and features. At that time, separate payment terms will apply.

Account Termination and Deletion

  • Your Right to Cancel: You may cancel your account at any time by following the instructions provided in your account settings. You may also contact our Support team for assistance with cancellation.
  • Content Deletion: Upon account cancellation, your account will become inaccessible immediately. All of your content will be permanently deleted from our active systems and backups within a reasonable timeframe, after which we cannot recover this information.
  • Our Right to Terminate: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service for any reason at any time, with or without notice. This includes but is not limited to:
    • Violation of these Terms or the Content Policy
    • Violation of applicable law
    • Abuse or threats directed toward Company employees or other users
    • Any activity we determine to be harmful to the Service or other users
  • Inactivity: Accounts that have not been accessed for more than two years may be archived or deleted by the Company to manage storage and operating costs. We may or may not provide advance notice of such action.

Service Modifications and Availability

We are committed to maintaining the Service and continuously improving it. However, we reserve the right at any time to modify, temporarily or permanently discontinue, or limit access to any part of the Service with or without notice.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uptime or uninterrupted availability, though we take the reliability of the Service seriously.

Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption and regular backups, to protect your data. However, no security measure is completely foolproof.

You agree that Maintain may process your data in accordance with our separate Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to our collection and use of data as described in the Privacy Policy.

We work with third-party service providers including Cloudflare, Supabase, Google, and others to operate the Service. These providers may have access to your data only to the extent necessary to provide their services.

Intellectual Property

  • Your Content: All content you post to the Service remains your property. You grant Maintain a limited license to use, store, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you and your approved friends.
  • Our Intellectual Property: Maintain Social LLC and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all intellectual property rights. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the Service, including its code, design, or functionality, without express written permission from the Company.

Liability Limitation

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT MAINTAIN SOCIAL LLC IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR:

  • Any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
  • Loss of data, revenue, or profits
  • Damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service
  • Damages resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
  • Damages resulting from actions of any third party using the Service
  • Damages resulting from any content posted by other users
  • Any other damages or losses related to these Terms or the Service

This limitation applies regardless of whether the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Maintain Social LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Maintain Social LLC is incorporated, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that state.

General Provisions

  • Severability: If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
  • Contact: If you have questions about these Terms, please contact our Support team at support@maintain.social.

By using Maintain, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
