Terms of Use

Welcome to Tempo, a music rating and social app operated by Gravity Ventures LLC ("Tempo," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using Tempo's services — including the Tempo mobile application (the "App") or any other platforms or services we offer (collectively, the "Services") — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the "Terms" or "Agreement") and our Privacy Policy.

Please read this Agreement carefully before creating an account or using the Services. By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 13 years of age.
• You can form a binding contract with Tempo, or, if you are a minor under applicable law in your jurisdiction, your parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
• You are not barred from using the Services under applicable law, including U.S. law.
• You are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You will provide accurate, complete, and current information when registering and will keep that information up to date.
• You do not have more than one active account.
• You have not previously been removed from the Services, unless you have our express written permission to create a new account.

Children Under 13: The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a user under 13 has created an account without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete that account and associated data. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact us at natevds44@gmail.com.

EU Users Ages 13–15: If you are between the ages of 13 and 15 and located in the European Union, applicable law (GDPR-K) may require verifiable parental or guardian consent before you use the Services.

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for maintaining the security of your login credentials. Do not share your password with anyone. Notify us immediately at natevds44@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorized access to your account.

We may limit, suspend, or terminate your access to the Services if we are unable to verify your account information or if we believe you have violated this Agreement.

Tempo sources music metadata — including song titles, artist names, album artwork, and catalog information — from the Apple MusicKit API and other authorized sources. This content is subject to Apple's developer terms and applicable intellectual property laws. Tempo does not host or distribute music files.

Streaming links within the App (Apple Music, Spotify) are provided for convenience and open content in third-party applications. Your use of those applications is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

The Tempo app, branding, and all related intellectual property are owned by Gravity Ventures LLC. These Terms do not transfer any Tempo or third-party intellectual property to you. All right, title, and interest in and to the Services (excluding Your Content) remain solely with Tempo.

Using the Services does not grant you any right or license to reproduce or otherwise use Tempo's trademarks, service marks, or logos, or those of any third party.

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use the Services. By using the Services, you agree to our collection and use of information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Phone Number: If you opt into contact-based friend discovery during onboarding, your phone number is collected and retained in your profile on an ongoing basis. You may remove your phone number at any time in Account Settings → Privacy & Safety → Manage Data.

Analytics: We use Mixpanel to collect behavioral analytics data for internal product improvement purposes only. This data is not shared with advertisers or used for advertising targeting. You can toggle analytics data sharing at any time in Account Settings → Privacy & Safety.

Tempo uses automated hate speech detection to filter user-generated text and relies on user reports to identify violations. Users may report content for spam, harassment, inappropriate content, or inappropriate images. Reports are reviewed on a discretionary basis.

We reserve the right — but are not obligated — to remove any content that, in our reasonable judgment, violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful or objectionable. We may also suspend or terminate accounts for violations.

The Services integrate with or rely on third-party services, including Supabase (database and authentication), Expo (push notifications), Apple MusicKit (music catalog), Mixpanel (analytics), and Sentry (error monitoring). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers.

For users who download the App from the Apple App Store, Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions are also incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, Apple's terms will govern solely with respect to your use of the App as distributed through the App Store.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TEMPO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TEMPO AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, AND LICENSORS 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, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL TEMPO'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF $50 OR THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO TEMPO IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gravity Ventures LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

You may delete your account at any time through Account Settings. Upon initiating deletion, your profile and all user-generated content — including ratings, comments, posts, lists, rotation entries, follows, and likes — are immediately deleted. Your account then enters a 30-day grace period during which you may log in and restore it. After 30 days, any remaining archived record is permanently and irreversibly deleted.

You may request a copy of your personal data at any time by contacting us at natevds44@gmail.com. We will fulfill requests manually within a reasonable timeframe.

The Services are currently offered free of charge. Gravity Ventures LLC reserves the right to introduce paid features, subscription tiers, or in-app purchases in the future. If and when paid features are introduced, we will provide advance notice and update these Terms accordingly.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Services or by email. Your continued use of the Services after we notify you of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 10, 11, 12, and 18) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

Binding Arbitration: Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, you and Gravity Ventures LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will take place in Cook County, Illinois, or at another mutually agreed location.

Class Action Waiver: YOU AND GRAVITY VENTURES LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Opt-Out: You may opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by sending written notice to natevds44@gmail.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out."

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Gravity Ventures LLC regarding your use of the Services. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. We may assign our rights under these Terms without restriction. You may not assign your rights without our prior written consent.
