Terms and Conditions
Effective date: April 11, 2026
Last updated: May 22, 2026
Welcome to Gather. These are the terms that govern your use of the Gather service, operated by Gather More, Inc.(“we,” “us,” “our”).
By creating an account, using Gather, receiving a Gather invitation, or opting in to Gather communications, you agree to these terms.If you don't agree, don't use the service.
We wrote this in plain language. If anything is unclear, email us at hello@gathermore.com.
1. What Gather is
Gather is a service that helps groups of people plan gatherings together — coordinating when, what, and who, and handling the invitations and RSVPs that follow. It's available through our website and any mobile or desktop apps we offer.
“Gathering” means a real-world or virtual plan organized through Gather — a dinner, a book club, a hike, a workshop, a meetup of any kind.
2. Who can use Gather
You can use Gather if:
- You are at least 13 years old
- You can form a legally binding contract where you live
- You are not barred from using Gather under any applicable laws
- You agree to these terms
If you're under 13, you are not allowed to create an account or use Gather. Parents or guardians: see Section 10 of the Privacy Policy.
If you're using Gather on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms.
3. Your account
Creating an account
When you sign up, you'll give us your name, email address, and a password (or you'll sign in through a provider like Google). You agree to:
- Give us accurate information
- Keep your password secure
- Not share your account with anyone else
- Notify us right away at hello@gathermore.com if you suspect someone else has accessed your account
You are responsible for everything that happens on your account. If someone else uses your account because you shared your password, that's on you.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time from your profile settings, or by emailing us at hello@gathermore.com. When you delete your account, we remove your profile and your gatherings within 30 days. Some records are kept longer for legal reasons — see the Privacy Policy for details.
Our right to suspend or terminate
We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you've broken these terms, put other users at risk, or made Gather unsafe to operate. We'll tell you why whenever we can — exceptions apply where the law or safety require us to act without warning.
4. How you agree to use Gather
You agree to use Gather only for lawful purposes, and only in ways that don't harm other users or the service.
You agree NOT to:
- Use Gather for any illegal activity, or to plan any illegal activity
- Harass, threaten, intimidate, or impersonate other people
- Post or share content that is hateful, violent, sexually explicit, or targets people based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic
- Collect information about other users without their consent — including scraping, crawling, or systematically extracting data from the service
- Interfere with the service — including hacking, exploiting vulnerabilities, uploading malware, or overloading the system
- Use Gather to send spam, unsolicited marketing, or phishing attempts
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the service
- Create fake accounts, automated accounts, or multiple accounts to evade bans or manipulate the service
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute Gather without our written permission
We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules. If you see someone breaking them, email us athello@gathermore.com.
5. The content you create
When you create a gathering, write a profile, leave a comment, or post anything else to Gather, you keep your rights to that content. You give us a limited permission — a license — to store it, display it to the people you choose, and do the things the service needs to do to function.
Specifically, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify for technical purposes (like resizing an image), and display your content in connection with operating and improving Gather. This license lasts as long as your content is on Gather and ends when you delete it, except for copies we're required to keep for legal reasons or that have already been shared with other users.
You promise that the content you post is yours to post — that you own it, or you have permission to share it, and that it doesn't break anyone else's rights or any laws.
We don't pre-screen content, but we can remove anything that breaks these terms or that we think is harmful. We're not responsible for content other users post.
6. Email and SMS communications
By creating an account, you agree to receive service communicationsfrom Gather — for example, invitation emails, RSVP confirmations, password resets, and gathering reminders. These are part of the product and you can't opt out of them without deleting your account.
If you opt in, you also agree to receive marketing communications — for example, product updates, new-feature announcements, and occasional tips. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time:
- Email: click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email
- SMS: reply STOP to any text message from Gather
Full details of how our SMS program works — including message frequency, the exact opt-in checkbox wording, carrier fees, and data sharing — are in the Privacy Policy, Section 5. By providing your phone number and checking the SMS opt-in box at signup, you agree to those terms.
7. Things you pay for
Gather may offer paid features in the future. As of the effective date above, using Gather is free. If we introduce paid features, we'll update these terms and give you the details before you're charged.
8. Our intellectual property
Gather — the name, the logo, the software, the design, the look and feel — belongs to us. You can use the service as intended, but you can't copy, reproduce, or reuse our branding or our code without our written permission.
You can link to Gather from your own website or social media. You can take a screenshot of a gathering you organize and share it with your friends. Those are fine. What's not fine: copying the product, pretending to be Gather, or using our name to promote an unrelated service.
9. Disclaimers
Gather is provided “as is” and “as available.”We do our best to keep the service running, but we don't promise it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or perfect.
We don't guarantee that any specific gathering will actually happen. Gathering organizers are responsible for their own plans. Attendees are responsible for their own decisions to attend.
We don't vouch for other users.Gather is a tool for coordinating plans with people you already know or want to know. We don't run background checks, verify identities, or guarantee that anyone is who they say they are. Use your judgment when meeting people, especially in person, especially for the first time.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law:
- We are not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, or lost opportunities — arising from your use of Gather.
- Our total liability for any claim related to these terms or your use of Gather is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions don't allow these kinds of limitations. If you live in one of them, these limitations apply only to the extent allowed in your jurisdiction.
11. Indemnification
If someone brings a claim against us because of how you used Gather — for example, because you broke these terms, violated someone's rights, or broke the law — you agree to defend us against the claim and to cover our costs, legal fees, and damages.
This doesn't apply to claims that arise from our own negligence or misconduct.
12. How disputes get resolved
Try talking to us first
If you have a problem with Gather or with something that happened on the service, email us at hello@gathermore.com before taking any legal action. Most problems can be solved in a conversation.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Where disputes get heard
Any dispute that can't be resolved by email will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Georgia. You and we each agree to the jurisdiction of those courts.
No class actions
You agree to resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, not as part of a class action or collective proceeding. This is important — it means any claim you bring is on your own behalf, not on behalf of a group.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Gather grows. If we make a material change — something that actually affects your rights or obligations — we'll notify you by email or in the app at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of Gather after the change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
If you don't agree to a change, stop using Gather and delete your account before the change takes effect.
Small edits — fixing a typo, clarifying a sentence — happen without notice. The “Last updated” date at the top always reflects the most recent change.
14. Other legal details
- Entire agreement: these terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the full agreement between you and us about Gather. They replace any previous agreements or understandings.
- Severability: if any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the terms stay in effect.
- No waiver:if we don't enforce a right under these terms right away, that doesn't mean we've given up the right. We can still enforce it later.
- Assignment:you can't transfer your account or your rights under these terms to anyone else. We can transfer our rights — for example, if Gather is acquired.
- Force majeure:we're not responsible for failures caused by events outside our reasonable control — natural disasters, war, internet outages, and similar.
