Terms of Service

Last updated: August 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and 816 Ventures ("we," "us") governing your use of the 816.ventures website and the Faves mobile application (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from doing so under applicable law.

2. Your account

You're responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping access to your account secure, and for everything that happens under it. Notify us at admin@816.ventures if you believe your account has been compromised. One person, one account — don't share credentials or impersonate anyone.

3. License to use the Service

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the lists, rankings, text, images, and voice notes you create ("Your Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt for formatting purposes, and display Your Content solely as needed to operate and improve the Service — including displaying it to the other users you've chosen to share it with. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups for the period described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to post Your Content and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights or violate any law.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Post content that is unlawful, infringing, harassing, hateful, or sexually exploitative of minors.
Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
Harass, threaten, stalk, or spam other users.
Scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract data from the Service, or access it through automated means we haven't authorized.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive our source code, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable by law.
Probe, interfere with, or circumvent the security, authentication, or rate limits of the Service.
Use the Service to build a competing product or to resell access to it.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules, and we may do so without prior notice where the violation is serious or ongoing.

6. Third-party content and services

The Service displays catalog information — titles, cover art, artwork, genres, and release dates — sourced from third-party providers and rights holders. That material remains the property of its owners and is shown for identification and reference in connection with your lists. The Service may also link to or integrate with third-party services, which are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party content or services.

7. Pre-release software

Faves is in active development. Parts of the Service may be offered as a beta, preview, or test build. Pre-release features are provided as-is, may change or be removed without notice, may contain defects, and may result in data loss. Don't rely on the Service as the sole record of anything important to you.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, "Faves" and "816 Ventures" names and logos, and all related intellectual property — belongs to 816 Ventures or its licensors. These Terms don't grant you any right to use our trademarks or branding without our prior written permission.

9. Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, royalty-free right to use it without obligation or compensation to you. We're glad to receive it, but we won't treat it as confidential.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time; see the Privacy Policy for how deletion works. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including content licenses already granted, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute terms — will survive.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DATA WILL BE PRESERVED WITHOUT LOSS. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 816 VENTURES AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). These limits apply even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 816 Ventures from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.

14. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and 816 Ventures only, not Apple; that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App; that Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the App, including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property claims; and that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. We'll update the date above and, for material changes, give notice in the App or by email. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California for any dispute not subject to small-claims court. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief to protect its intellectual property.

17. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
