Conditions

By accessing or using the Cheers Mate application, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any additional policies incorporated herein by reference.

Cheers Mate is a social companion matching platform that enables registered users to find a single partner for spontaneous shared dining and beverage experiences, including but not limited to:

• Breakfast meetups
• Brunch outings
• Lunch engagements
• Coffee or tea sessions
• Casual drinks and beverage companionship
• Spontaneous dining at restaurants, cafés, bars, or similar venues

Core Platform Mechanics

The Service operates on the following model:

1. A registered user ("Requester") creates a spontaneous activity request specifying the type of meal/activity, preferred location, date, time, and any relevant details.
2. Another registered user ("Companion") accepts the request to join the activity.
3. All activities on Cheers Mate are strictly limited to two (2) participants — the Requester and one Companion.
4. Users independently arrange and attend the activity at a mutually agreed public venue.
5. Cheers Mate serves as a technology intermediary only and does not organize, host, supervise, or participate in any in-person activity.

Interactive Computer Service Status

Cheers Mate is a provider of an interactive computer service within the meaning of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230). All User Content, activity requests, profiles, and communications on the Platform are created by users, not by Cheers Mate. Cheers Mate does not create, develop, control, direct, or endorse any User Content or any user's conduct, whether online or offline, and shall not be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by users of the Platform.

User Safety Recommendations

Although not mandatory, Cheers Mate strongly recommends that users:

• Inform a trusted friend or family member of the meetup details (location, time, and the other user's profile)
• Meet for the first time only in well-lit, populated public places
• Arrange your own transportation to and from the venue
• Avoid sharing sensitive personal information (home address, financial details, workplace address) with other users before establishing trust
• Trust your instincts — if you feel unsafe at any point, leave immediately
• Keep your mobile phone charged and accessible throughout the meetup

Assumption of Risk

Reporting Safety Concerns

If you experience harassment, misconduct, or any concerning behavior from another user — whether online through the app or during an in-person meetup — you are encouraged to report it immediately within the application via the Report function, or by contacting us at safety@cheersmate.app. Cheers Mate will review all reports and take appropriate action, which may include account suspension or termination and, where required by law, reporting to law enforcement.

Cheers Mate is a platform that facilitates social activities which may include the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The following terms govern alcohol-related activities arranged through the Platform:

Legal Drinking Age Compliance

Users who participate in activities involving alcohol must be of legal drinking age. In the State of Florida and throughout the United States, the minimum legal drinking age is 21 years of age, as mandated by the National Minimum Drinking Age Act (23 U.S.C. § 158) and Florida Statute § 562.11. By accepting a request that involves alcohol, you represent that you are 21 years of age or older.

No Facilitation of Underage Drinking

It is a violation of these Terms and a criminal offense under Florida law to purchase, serve, or otherwise provide alcohol to a person under the age of 21. Any user found to have facilitated underage drinking through the Platform will be immediately and permanently banned and may be reported to law enforcement.

Responsible Consumption

Cheers Mate does not encourage excessive alcohol consumption. Users are solely responsible for their own alcohol consumption and its consequences. Cheers Mate shall not be liable for any injury, property damage, DUI offense, or other harm resulting from alcohol consumption during or after activities arranged through the Platform.

Impaired Driving

Cheers Mate strongly discourages driving under the influence of alcohol or any substance. If you consume alcohol during a meetup, arrange a safe ride home through a licensed transportation service. Driving under the influence is a serious criminal offense under Florida Statute § 316.193 and may result in injury, death, and criminal prosecution.

Florida Dram Shop Liability Notice

Under Florida's Dram Shop Act (Fla. Stat. § 768.125), social hosts may bear liability in limited circumstances for serving alcohol to habitually addicted persons or to persons under the legal drinking age. Users assume full personal responsibility for their own alcohol service decisions during meetups arranged through the Platform. Cheers Mate expressly disclaims any liability under dram shop or social host liability theories.

"User Content" means any content, information, data, text, photographs, images, or materials that you submit, post, or otherwise make available through the Platform, including your profile, activity requests, and in-app messages.

License Grant

By submitting User Content to Cheers Mate, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, display, and perform the User Content in connection with operating and improving the Platform. This license terminates when you delete your content or account, subject to reasonable backup and archival retention periods.

Your Representations

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to submit all User Content
• Your User Content does not violate any third-party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights
• Your User Content does not contain false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, or harmful material
• Your User Content complies with all applicable laws

Content Moderation

Cheers Mate reserves the right, but has no obligation, to review, monitor, edit, or remove User Content at its sole discretion, including content that violates these Terms or that we find objectionable for any reason. The Company is not responsible for User Content posted by users.

Your use of Cheers Mate is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Data Collection

Cheers Mate collects personal information necessary to provide the Service, including name, email address, date of birth, profile photograph, location data (with your permission), device information, and activity history. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Location Data

Indemnification Procedure

Cheers Mate will provide you with prompt written notice of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section; provided, however, that any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not relieve you of your indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure. You agree to cooperate fully with Cheers Mate in the defense of any indemnified claim.

Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or your relationship with Cheers Mate shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available at www.adr.org.
