Terms of service

Last updated: 16 October 2026  ·  Effective date: 16 October 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Summoner mobile application or the website summoner-app.com (collectively, the "Service"). You agree to these Terms when you tick the box on the sign-up screen, or when the app asks you once to agree. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Summoner ("we", "us", "our"). We record when you agreed and to which version.

Changes. We may change these Terms, for example when we add a feature or the law changes. For a small change, such as a correction or new contact details, we update the date above. For a change that affects your rights, the app shows you the new Terms and asks you to agree before you carry on. If you don't agree, you can delete your account from the app at any time, and the earlier Terms keep applying until you do.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. You confirm this when you sign up, and accounts made before 16 October 2026 confirm it once in the app. Summoner is built around meeting people in person, which is why the limit is 18 for the whole app.

The first time you use Discover, you also accept an in-person safety notice. Discover's public summons and communities can lead you to meet people you don't know (see Section 7). If we have reason to believe you are under 18, we will close your account.

3. Account registration

4. The service

Summoner provides a real-time social coordination platform that allows users to:

Maps in Summoner are Google Maps. By using them you also accept the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy, as they stand at the time.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with reasonable notice where practicable. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

5. User conduct

You agree not to use the Service to:

6. User content

6.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights to the content you create and share through the Service ("User Content"), including messages, photos, and Summon details.

6.2 License to Us

By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, and transmit your content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service. This licence terminates when you delete your content or your account.

6.3 Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of sharing it. We do not pre-screen private or Circle content. Public content is different: avatars, circle and community icons and covers, public Summon cover photos, and photos and videos posted in community chat are automatically scanned for unsafe content before publication and may be rejected, and the text of new public Summons and communities is checked against a prohibited-terms list. When three or more different people report a public Summon, our system hides it until a person reviews it, and we email its host (see Section 13). We may also hide, remove or restrict public content after review. We reserve the right, but have no general obligation, to remove any content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

7. Public summons, communities & in-person safety

7.1 Shareable Summon Links

When you share a link to a circle Summon, anyone who has the link can see the circle's name, the activity, the place you picked, how many people are going and when it ends, for as long as the Summon lasts. When the Summon ends, the link shows that it has ended and nothing else. Summons in private chats have no share link. Only share a link with people you'd tell where you'll be.

7.2 Public Summons & Communities (Discover)

Discover lets you publish Summons and Communities that any user can discover, including people you do not know. Content you post here - titles, descriptions, activities, tags, cover photos, community profiles, and messages in public Summon or community chats - is publicly visible (or visible to all members) and is NOT end-to-end encrypted. Public chat is transmitted and stored in a form we can access and moderate. Do not post anything in Discover that you would not want to be public.

To protect your location, the precise meeting point of a public Summon is never published. Only an approximate, offset area is shown publicly; the exact location is revealed only to the host and to attendees you (or the system) have confirmed. Joining a region-based ("local") Community uses your device's current location at the moment you join to confirm you are within the Community's area.

7.3 In-Person Meetings - Assumption of Risk

Discover may result in you meeting other users in person, in the real world. We do not verify the identity, background, criminal history, or intentions of any user, and we do not screen or supervise meetups. You meet other users entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for your own safety and for deciding whether, when, and how to meet anyone. We strongly recommend you meet in public places, tell someone you trust where you are going, and leave if anything feels unsafe.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume all risk arising from in-person meetings, and Summoner is not responsible or liable for the conduct of any user (online or offline) or for any injury, loss, or harm resulting from contact or meetings arranged through the Service. This allocation of risk is in addition to, and does not limit, the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 10 and 11.

7.4 Host Responsibilities

If you host a public Summon or run a Community, you are responsible for the content you publish and the conduct you facilitate, must comply with these Terms and applicable law, and must not use the feature to deceive, lure, endanger, exploit, or harm others. We may cancel, hide, or delete public Summons or Communities, and restrict hosting, at our discretion.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its name, logo, design, code, and content created by us, is owned by Summoner and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our prior written permission. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service other than the limited right to use it as described herein.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and explains what we collect and why.

Using the Service is not treated as consent to our data practices. Most of what we do with your data rests on performing this agreement or on a legitimate interest, and where we genuinely rely on consent - contact matching and push notifications - we ask for it separately and you can withdraw it at any time in the app. Section 2 of the Privacy Policy sets out the legal basis for each purpose.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.

This section does not apply where the law does not allow it. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you have rights in respect of digital content and digital services that we cannot exclude or reduce by agreement - including under Directive (EU) 2019/770 and the Bulgarian law implementing it, which applies to services supplied in exchange for personal data as well as to services paid for in money. Nothing above limits those rights, and to the extent this section conflicts with them, they take precedence.

11. Limitation of liability

If you use Summoner for yourself, as a consumer, we are liable to you as Bulgarian and EU law provides, and nothing in these Terms reduces that.

If you use Summoner for a business, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits, lost data or lost goodwill, and our total liability to you is limited to EUR 50. The Service is free, so this limit applies only to business use.

Whoever you are, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

12. Indemnification

If a third party brings a claim against us because you broke these Terms or the law, or because of User Content you posted, you agree to cover the resulting claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable legal fees.

This applies only to the extent the claim is actually caused by your own breach or your own content, and it does not extend to anything caused by us. It does not apply at all where you are acting as a consumer and the law does not permit such an obligation.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or if we are required to do so by law. Where a breach is serious - and anything involving the safety of another person is - we may act immediately.

We will tell you why. If we remove or hide your content, restrict your access to Discover, or suspend or terminate your account, we will give you a statement of the reasons, as required by Article 17 of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). It will say what we did, what it applied to, whether it followed a report or our own check, whether an automated step was involved, what rule or law it relied on, and how to contest it. A restriction on your account appears in the app the next time you open it. When reports hide one of your public Summons, we email the statement to the address you sign in with, and a person reviews it. If you think we got it wrong, reply to that statement or write to support@vaultpointlabs.com and a person will review the decision. We may not be able to give reasons in advance where doing so would defeat the purpose of the action, but we will give them.

You may delete your account at any time from within the app, which triggers automated data erasure as described in our Privacy Policy.

14. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Bulgaria and applicable European Union law, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Bulgaria, unless mandatory EU consumer protection law requires otherwise.

If you are an EU consumer, you may also seek an out-of-court settlement. The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025 under Regulation (EU) 2024/3228; the competent bodies are now listed on the Commission's consumer redress site at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu, and in Bulgaria through the conciliation commissions at the Commission for Consumer Protection, kzp.bg. Our Legal notice states whether we take part in such proceedings.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

16. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Summoner regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
