Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

These are the rules for using mōtive. By signing in, you agree to them. They're short on purpose.

You promise

• You're at least 18 years old. mōtive is built for adults making adult friends.
• You're you — real name, real photo, real account. No impersonation.
• You won't use mōtive to harass, threaten, scam, dox, harm, abuse, or impersonate anyone.
• You won't use mōtive as a dating or hookup app. It's for friends. Romantic or sexual pressure on other users is grounds for immediate removal.
• When you join an event, you intend to actually show up, or you'll cancel in advance.
• Events you create are real, in public or semi-public locations, legal, and safe.

Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abuse

We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior — including harassment, hate speech, threats, sexual content directed at users, or any content that violates Apple's App Store guidelines or Google Play policies. Anyone using mōtive to do those things will have their content removed and their account permanently banned.

We promise

• We review reports within 24 hours. Tap the report option on any event to flag content or behavior that breaks these rules. We review every report, remove offending content, and ban users who break the rules.
• You can block anyone, instantly. Tap the block option from an event's attendee list or manage your block list from your profile page. Blocked users disappear from your feed, can't see your events, and can't reach you in any way.
• To keep your private profile data (phone, Instagram) visible only to your accepted friends.
• To not sell your data or run ads.
• When it's your birthday, we may let your accepted friends know so they can say hi. You can turn this off from your profile page.

Real-world risk

mōtive helps you find activities to attend with strangers. It's on you to use common sense: meet in public places, tell a friend where you're going, leave if anything feels off. We're not responsible for what happens at events. Use the report and block features if you encounter someone who shouldn't be here.

Account termination

We can remove accounts that violate these rules. You can permanently delete your account anytime — see our account deletion page.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product grows. We'll let you know in-app when we do.
