Terms & Conditions (Terms of Service)
Effective Date: October 6, 2025
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and Retronyms, Inc. (“Retronyms,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of Your Community App, including our websites, mobile and web applications, products, and services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you access the Service through an organization, chapter, club, school, employer, or other group (each, an “Organization”), the Organization may have additional terms that apply to your use within its tenant. Where a separate written agreement is in place between Retronyms and an Organization (an “Enterprise Agreement”), that agreement will govern as between Retronyms and the Organization.
1) Eligibility & Accounts
1.1 Minimum Age. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you have parental/guardian consent.
1.2 Account Registration. You must provide accurate, current information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activities under your account.
1.3 Organization Tenants. If you join an Organization’s tenant, your profile, membership, and certain activity may be visible to Organization administrators as described in our Privacy Policy.
2) Relationship With Organizations
2.1 Admins & Moderation. Organization administrators (“Admins”) may manage membership, groups, events, challenges, and content within their tenant, and may set community rules. Admin actions may affect your access and visibility.
2.2 Data Access by Organizations. Admins may access roster and participation data, including group/event/challenge participation and content you share in shared spaces, consistent with our Privacy Policy and the Organization’s policies.
2.3 Enterprise Agreements. If Retronyms and an Organization have an Enterprise Agreement, those terms govern as to fees, SLAs, DPA, and permitted use within that tenant. These Terms continue to govern your individual relationship with Retronyms.
3) Acceptable Use & Community Conduct
3.1 You agree not to:
Violate laws or rights of others; post or transmit unlawful, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, pornographic, infringing, or deceptive content.
Bully, dox, impersonate, or spam; scrape or harvest data without authorization.

6.1 Payments via Processors. Purchases (e.g., tickets, memberships, donations) are processed by third-party payment processors. We do not store full card numbers.
6.2 Subscriptions. If your account or Organization enables paid features, we’ll disclose pricing, terms, renewal, and cancellation terms at checkout or in your tenant agreement. Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled.
6.3 Taxes & Fees. Prices may exclude taxes or third-party fees. You authorize us or our processor to charge your payment method for due amounts.

We may suspend or terminate your access (including removal of User Content) if you violate these Terms, pose a security risk, or for other legitimate reasons. For tenant accounts, Admins may also manage your access. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitations, indemnities, dispute resolution) will survive.
14) Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RETRONYMS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

17.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will occur in San Francisco County, California, or by video/phone if agreed. The arbitrator may award individual relief and attorneys’ fees as allowed by law.
17.3 Class Action Waiver. Disputes must be brought in an individual capacity and not as a class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except that the arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
18) Export & Sanctions

If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that part shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
