Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Buzzly mobile application and the buzzlyapp.com website (together, the "App"). The App is operated by Dodo Media B.V., Amsterdam, the Netherlands (KVK 72282983) ("we", "us", "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

2. Description of the Service

Buzzly is a social discovery application that helps people find and connect with others nearby. Depending on the features you choose to use, the App allows you to:

  • create a profile with a name, photo, keywords describing what you offer or are looking for, and — optionally — your gender;
  • discover other members on a map and through keyword search, and be discovered by them;
  • publish photo and video stories and gallery items;
  • create and join groups and events, and publish posts within them;
  • send and receive direct messages, including photos and video;
  • list contact and social media details ("shares") that other members can request permission to see;
  • send virtual gifts using tokens;
  • rate other members, leave private notes, and save members to your list;
  • see who has visited your profile, and use other premium features.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. Some features are only available with a premium subscription or by spending tokens.

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

The App is intended for users who are at least 17 years of age. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement.

You must register for an account using an existing Google or Apple account. By registering, you warrant that the information you provide is accurate and complete. You are responsible for activity that takes place through your account, and you may not transfer or share it with anyone else.

4. Location

The App is location-based and will not work as intended without location access. We use your device location to show you members and content nearby and to make you discoverable to others.

To protect your privacy, the location shown for your posts is offset by a random distance of approximately 50 to 100 metres from your actual position. You can stop appearing on the map at any time using the visibility setting in your profile. Premium members may set a different city as their displayed location.

How we collect and process location and other personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Your Content

You are responsible for all content you provide through the App, including your profile, keywords, photos, videos, stories, posts, messages, notes, and contact details ("Your Content").

You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for example to resize or transcode), and display Your Content for the purpose of operating and providing the App. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted, except where it has already been shared with other members or where we must retain it to comply with the law.

You warrant that you have the rights to Your Content and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

6. Community Rules and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  1. use the App for any illegal purpose, or to harass, threaten, bully, defame, stalk, or abuse anyone;
  2. post or send content that is hateful, violent, sexually explicit, or that sexualises minors in any way;
  3. impersonate another person, or misrepresent who you are or your affiliation with anyone;
  4. publish another person's contact details, photographs, or private information without their consent;
  5. use contact details obtained through a share request for spam, marketing, or any purpose the other member did not agree to;
  6. send spam, run scams, solicit money, or promote pyramid or investment schemes;
  7. advertise or arrange sexual services, or any other unlawful goods or services;
  8. use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access the App, or collect members' data in bulk;
  9. use a VPN, proxy, emulator, or any other means to falsify your location or to circumvent restrictions, bans, or paid features;
  10. copy, distribute, or disclose any part of the App in any medium, or reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract its source code;
  11. infringe the intellectual property rights of others;
  12. interfere with the operation or security of the App.

7. Moderation, Reporting, and Enforcement

We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Content submitted to the App — including profile text, images, posts, and messages — may be reviewed by automated systems, by our staff, or both.

Every member can report another member or their content, and can block or hide members they do not wish to interact with. We aim to review reports of objectionable content and act on them within 24 hours.

Where we find a breach of these Terms, we may remove content, limit your visibility or access to features, suspend your account, or terminate it, with or without notice depending on the severity of the breach.

8. Child Safety

We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. Content or conduct of this kind results in immediate termination and is reported to the competent authorities. See our Child Safety Policy for details and for how to report a concern.

9. Shares and Permission Requests

Contact and social media details you add as shares are not made public unless you choose to make them public. Where a share is private, another member must request access and you decide whether to approve or decline. You can add, change, or remove a share at any time. Removing a share stops it from being shown, but we cannot recall details another member has already seen.

10. Messages

Direct messages are private between the participants. They are not end-to-end encrypted: we can access message content where necessary to operate the service, to investigate a report, or to comply with the law. Messages and media may be scanned automatically for prohibited content.

11. Tokens, Gifts, and Purchases

The App uses virtual tokens for features such as sending gifts and promoting content. Tokens can be earned in the App or purchased.

All purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms and payment methods. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

Tokens and gifts are a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use a feature of the App. They are not money, they have no monetary value outside the App, and they cannot be exchanged, sold, or cashed out. Except where the law requires otherwise, purchases of tokens are final and non-refundable; refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We may change the price or token cost of any feature. Unused tokens are lost when an account is terminated.

12. Premium Subscription

A premium subscription unlocks additional features, which currently include seeing who has visited your profile, changing your displayed city, and appearing above non-premium members in discovery.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price until cancelled. You manage and cancel a subscription through your Apple or Google account, not in the App; cancelling takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.

13. Promotions and Offers

We may run promotions, offers, referral rewards, and daily token grants. These may be limited in time, limited to certain members, and changed or withdrawn at any time. Abusing a promotion — for example by creating multiple accounts — may result in the loss of any benefit and of your account.

14. Meeting Other People

Buzzly helps you find people, but we do not verify members' identities and we do not carry out criminal background checks. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members, online and in person. Take sensible precautions: meet in public, tell someone where you are going, and do not send money to people you have not met.

15. Intellectual Property

  1. Ownership: We retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the App, including all intellectual property rights.
  2. Feedback: If you provide us with any feedback or suggestions regarding the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and incorporate such feedback into the App.

16. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including Apple and Google for sign-in and payments, and providers of push notifications, hosting, maps, and content moderation. Their terms apply to their part of the service, and we are not responsible for it.

17. Termination and Account Deletion

You may terminate your account at any time from within the App. On deletion we remove or anonymise your profile and the personal data associated with it, as described in our Privacy Policy. Content you sent to other members, such as messages and gifts, may remain visible to them. Unused tokens and any remaining subscription period are lost and are not refunded.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms or the law, or where we must do so to protect other members or the service.

18. Modifications to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. You will be notified of any material changes through the App's notification system. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

20. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE APP, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory consumer protection rules.

21. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings there.

22. Contact

For any questions about these Terms, please contact us through the App's support ticket system, or write to Dodo Media B.V., Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
