Bot.Me Terms of Use

Last Updated: May 4, 2026.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the apps, websites, and other online products and services (collectively, our “Services”) provided by BotMe Online, Inc. ("BotMe", "Bot.Me", "we" or "us"). By accessing or using the Services, including by installing or using the Bot.Me mobile application, you agree to these Terms and the Bot.Me Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms and the Bot.Me Privacy Policy, including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver in Section 13 of these Terms, do not access or use our Services. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. VIEW THESE TERMS HERE.

Bot.Me is an end-to-end encrypted communication service. These Terms describe how you may use the Services and how encrypted conversation content, account information, and conversation metadata are handled.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to access or use our Services. If you are under 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority where you live), you may only access or use our Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority), you agree to be fully responsible for the acts or omissions of such user in connection with our Services. If you are accessing or using our Services on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on that person or entity’s behalf and that the person or entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or the other person or entity violates these Terms.

2. User Accounts and Account Security

You will need to register for an account to access some or all of our Services. If you register for a Bot.Me account, you must provide accurate account information and promptly update this information if it changes. You also must maintain the security of your account and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your account without your permission. Our Services may use profile information and hashed contact information to help users find each other or connect with others they know. We do not represent or warrant that our tools are sufficient to determine that a user is actually who they say they are or whether it is appropriate for you to interact with that user. Further, we do not endorse any persons who use or register for our Services unless we expressly say otherwise. We encourage you to take precautions when interacting with users, particularly when interacting with people you do not know.

3. Privacy

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about you.

4. Chats and User Content

Our Services allow you and other users to create, send and receive messages, text, photos, images and other materials in encrypted chats and other supported participants (collectively, "User Content"). Except for the limited license you grant below, you retain all rights in and to your User Content, as between you and Bot.Me.

Conversation content is end-to-end encrypted. Bot.Me may store, transmit and process encrypted copies of User Content, conversation metadata and related technical information as needed to provide, secure and improve the Services, but Bot.Me does not have the keys needed to decrypt encrypted conversation content stored on our servers. You understand that intended recipients, and devices that receive decrypted User Content may be able to view, save, use or share it.

You grant BotMe Online, Inc. a limited, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, transmit, display and otherwise use your User Content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Services, including delivering encrypted messages to intended recipients, syncing conversations across your devices, providing support you request, enforcing these Terms and complying with law. This license does not grant Bot.Me the right to use private encrypted conversation content for advertising or to publicly display it except at your direction.

You represent that you own or have secured all legal rights necessary for the User Content submitted by you to be used by you, BotMe Online, Inc., and other intended recipients as described and otherwise contemplated in these Terms. You may not send any User Content that violates these Terms or for which you do not have all the rights necessary to grant us the license described above. Although we have no obligation to screen, edit or monitor User Content, we may remove or restrict access to accounts, profiles, metadata, reported content or other parts of the Services where we are able to do so and where we believe action is appropriate. Because encrypted conversation content stored on our servers cannot be decrypted by Bot.Me, our ability to review or remove that content may be limited.

5. Prohibited Conduct and Content

You will not violate any applicable law, contract, intellectual property or other third-party right or commit a tort, and you are solely responsible for your conduct while accessing or using our Services. You will not:

Engage in any harassing, threatening, intimidating, predatory or stalking conduct; Use or attempt to use another user’s account without authorization from that user and BotMe Online, Inc.; Sell, share, or otherwise transfer your account username, password, other information, or your rights or obligations under these Terms; Use our Services in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect or inhibit other users from fully enjoying our Services or that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the functioning of our Services in any manner; Reverse engineer any aspect of our Services or do anything that might discover source code or bypass or circumvent measures employed to prevent or limit access to any part of our Services; Reproduce, duplicate, copy, modify, sell, re-sell or exploit any other user’s User Content or the Services Attempt to circumvent any content-filtering techniques we employ or attempt to access any feature or area of our Services that you are not authorized to access; Develop or use any third-party applications that interact with our Services without our prior written consent, including any scripts designed to scrape or extract data from our Services; Probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Services or any network connected to the Services, or breach the security or authentication measures on or of the Services or any network connected to the Services; Use the Services in any way that could interfere with our rights or the rights of other users of the Services; Use our Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, or engage in, encourage or promote any activity that violates these Terms.

We do not control, endorse or take responsibility for any User Content or third-party content available on or linked to by our Services.

Your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Our Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, BotMe Online, Inc. does not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. While BotMe Online, Inc. attempts to make your access to and use of our Services safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Services or servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services.

11. Limitation of Liability

BotMe Online, Inc. and the other BotMe Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages or lost profits, even if BotMe Online, Inc. or the other BotMe Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The total liability of BotMe Online, Inc. and the other BotMe Parties, for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to access or use our Services.

You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with BotMe Online, Inc. and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Except for small claims disputes in which you or BotMe Online, Inc. seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or BotMe Online, Inc. seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and BotMe Online, Inc. waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in San Francisco, California, USA in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason. You and BotMe Online, Inc. agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and BotMe Online, Inc. and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and BotMe Online, Inc. agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 13 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and BotMe Online, Inc. agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and BotMe Online, Inc. will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by BotMe Online, Inc., BotMe Online, Inc. will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and BotMe Online, Inc. agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND BOTME ONLINE, INC. WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 13 by submitting an email to legal@bot.me. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must (i) include your full name, email address, and city of residence (including state/province/territory and country) (ii) identify the telephone number, email address, username, or other credentials you used to register for an account with Bot.Me, and (iii) clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 14.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in San Francisco, California.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the amended Terms to our Services and update the “Last Updated” date above. We may also attempt to notify you by sending a notification to the email address, telephone number, username, or other contact information associated with your Bot.Me account, or providing notice through the Bot.Me app or other Services. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of our Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services.

16. Termination

We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use our Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services. Furthermore, you acknowledge that we reserve the right to take action -- technical, legal or otherwise -- to block, nullify or deny your ability to access the Services. You understand that we may exercise this right in our sole discretion, and this right shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available to BotMe Online, Inc.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive the termination of your access to the Services, including provision regarding ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

17. Notice

By use of the Services, you consent to receive electronic communications from BotMe Online, Inc. (via email or via a posting on the Services), and you agree that any such communications satisfy any legal requirement to make such communications in writing. You also agree that BotMe Online, Inc. may communicate any notices to you under these Terms through electronic mail, regular mail or posting the notices on the Services. All notices to BotMe Online, Inc. must be provided by either sending: (i) an email to legal@bot.me; or (ii) a letter, first class certified mail, to BotMe Online, Inc., 584 Castro Street #3223, San Francisco, CA 94114 US, Attention: Legal Department. Such notices will be deemed delivered upon receipt.

18. Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BotMe Online, Inc. relating to your access to and use of our Services. If you breach any term of this Terms or other agreement with BotMe Online, Inc., BotMe Online, Inc. may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available, including but not limited to, direct, consequential, and punitive damages and injunctive relief. The failure of BotMe Online, Inc. to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with BotMe Online, Inc.’s prior written consent. BotMe Online, Inc. may transfer, assign or delegate the Terms and its rights and obligations without consent. Users of the Services are responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations and laws. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and BotMe Online, Inc. as a result of these Terms or use of the Services. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
