By creating an account or using the BUDMO app or services (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
BUDMO helps people meet someone new over a drink, tonight, at a vetted partner venue. The meeting is the product; the drink is only the setting. BUDMO offers one-to-one meetups and small group tables, and a "Rematch" loop for meeting again. BUDMO selects the venue; it is not a dating service and does not promise romantic outcomes.
You must be at least 18 years old (or older where local law requires). By using the Service you confirm you meet the age requirement and can form a binding contract. The Service is not available to anyone previously removed for safety reasons.
You register with a phone number (one-time code) and may be asked to complete identity/liveness verification (a selfie). You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity on your account. We may refuse, suspend, or remove accounts to protect users or comply with law.
Some meetups require a refundable deposit, which is a payment for a real-world service (securing your place at a physical venue) processed by our payment provider. On check-in, your deposit converts to venue credit usable at the partner venue (including on non-alcoholic options); if you fail to attend without valid cancellation, the deposit may be forfeited as described at booking. Deposits and venue credit are not in-app digital content and are handled outside app-store in-app-purchase systems. Card details are handled by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers.
BUDMO is built on respect and real-world safety. You agree to meet in public partner venues; treat others with kindness; and never harass, threaten, deceive, or endanger anyone. Tools including report, block, a discreet exit, live-location sharing, and women-only options are provided for your safety. Violations may lead to warnings, suspension, or permanent removal. We investigate reports and reserve the right to act, including removing users and notifying authorities where appropriate.
No unlawful, harmful, hateful, sexually exploitative, or abusive behaviour; no impersonation; no solicitation, commercial exploitation, or spam; no attempts to identify, stalk, or contact other users outside the Service against their wishes; no scraping, reverse engineering, or interfering with the Service. There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users; we act on reports, typically within 24 hours, including removing content and ejecting offenders.
You retain rights to content you submit (profile, photos, messages) and grant the Operator a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host and display it to operate the Service. You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to share it. We may moderate, remove, or refuse content and act on reports at our discretion.
BUDMO never rewards or gamifies alcohol consumption. Non-alcoholic ("0.0") options are first-class. Drink responsibly and obey local law. You are solely responsible for your own conduct, consumption, and safety at any meeting.
Partner venues are independent third parties. BUDMO is not responsible for venue services, and venue terms and house rules apply while you are there.
The core Service and applicable fees are described in the app. Any optional paid features will be clearly presented before purchase and, where they are digital, sold through the applicable app-store billing system.
You may delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Delete account). We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms or to protect users. Certain records may be retained as described in the Privacy Policy or as required by law.
The Service is provided "as is". BUDMO facilitates introductions and provides safety tools but does not conduct background checks beyond the verification described and cannot guarantee the identity, conduct, or safety of any user. Meeting new people carries inherent risk, which you accept. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for the acts or omissions of other users or venues. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 100. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law (including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence).
You agree to indemnify the Operator against claims arising from your misuse of the Service, your content, or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
We may update these Terms; we will notify you of material changes and record your acceptance in-app (versioned consent). Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates (Emirate of Sharjah), and disputes are subject to the competent courts of the United Arab Emirates — without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection and data-protection rights (including under the EU GDPR and UK GDPR) in your country of residence.
