OBL
Terms of Service
App name: OBL ("Obambulare")
Effective date: 27 May 2026 · Last updated: 27 May 2026
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the OBL mobile or web application (the "App"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Who we are
The App is operated by the OBL team ("OBL", "we", "us", "our"). Contact: team.obambulare@gmail.com
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 years old if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom) to use the App. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement.
If you are under 18, you confirm that you have permission from a parent or guardian.
3. Your account
- When you first open the App, we generate a three-word "seed phrase" that acts as your account identifier. You are responsible for keeping your seed phrase private. Anyone who knows it can access your data.
- You may set a display name. You must not impersonate another person.
- You are responsible for all activity that happens under your account.
- We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms.
4. Your content
The App lets you save "memories" containing photos, videos, voice memos, text, locations, and friend tags ("Your Content").
- You own Your Content. You retain all rights to anything you upload.
- You grant us a licence to host, store, transmit, display, and otherwise process Your Content solely to operate the App and deliver it to friends you have chosen to share with. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account (subject to backup retention described in our Privacy Policy).
- You are responsible for Your Content. You must own it or have permission to upload it, and it must not break any law or these Terms.
What you must not upload
You agree not to upload, share, or tag friends in content that:
- Is unlawful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, hateful, or discriminatory.
- Contains nudity, sexual content involving minors, or other sexually explicit material.
- Infringes anyone else's intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights.
- Contains malware, spam, or attempts to disrupt or compromise the App.
- Reveals personal data about other people without their consent.
- Promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activity.
We may remove content and suspend accounts that violate these rules, at our discretion and without notice.
5. Sharing memories with friends
- When you tag a friend in a memory or accept a friend request, that user can see the memory and all attached media.
- Once you share content with a friend, they may save copies locally on their device. You cannot guarantee they will delete those copies if you later remove the memory.
- Do not share private content with people you do not trust.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code (except where permitted by law).
- Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to access the App.
- Interfere with or disrupt the App, its servers, or other users' use of it.
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the App without our written permission.
- Attempt to access any account or data that does not belong to you.
7. Service availability
The App is provided on an "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable for any loss caused by downtime, data loss, or discontinuation, except as required by law.
We strongly recommend you keep your own copies of important photos and recordings — do not rely on the App as a sole backup.
8. Intellectual property
- The App itself (excluding Your Content), including its design, code, branding, and logos, is owned by OBL or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws.
- We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.
9. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services including Apple (App Store, push notifications), Clerk (authentication), Replit (hosting), and OpenStreetMap / Nominatim (geocoding). Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of those services.
10. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
- We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that it will meet your requirements.
- We are not responsible for the conduct of other users, including content they upload or share with you.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (such as death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, OBL's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (which, if the App is free, will be zero), or £100, whichever is greater.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OBL, its officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the App, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
13. Termination
- You may stop using the App at any time and request deletion of your account (see the Privacy Policy).
- We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or for any other reason at our discretion.
- Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnity) will survive.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or via email (if we have one for you). Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence requires otherwise.
16. Apple-specific terms
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following also apply:
- These Terms are between you and OBL, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the App purchase price (if any). Apple has no further warranty obligations.
- OBL, not Apple, is responsible for product claims, intellectual-property infringement claims, and any other claims relating to the App.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
