Melt Terms of Use
Effective Date: April 9, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Melt, including the Melt mobile application and website at melt-together.com (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Melt is operated by What the Funk LLC, a Washington State limited liability company ("we," "our," or "us"). Questions about these Terms can be directed to hello@melt-together.com.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Melt. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service.
Melt is currently available to users in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in other locations.
2. Your Account
To access certain features, you will need to create an account. You agree to:
Provide accurate and current information when registering
Keep your password secure and not share it with others
Notify us promptly at hello@melt-together.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
Take responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that have been inactive for an extended period.
3. What Melt Is
Melt is a personal tool for tracking and maintaining your in-person friendships. It allows you to store friend profiles, record shared interests, log hangout history, and plan future activities together.
Melt is not a social network, a public platform, or a communication service. Content you add to Melt is private to you and is not shared publicly or with other users unless you explicitly choose to share it using the app's share features.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Melt only for its intended purpose — maintaining your personal friendships — and in a manner consistent with all applicable laws. You agree not to:
Enter false, defamatory, or harassing information about other people
Use Melt to stalk, monitor, or collect information about someone without their knowledge in a harmful way
Attempt to access another user's account or data
Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the app
Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Service
Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
Use the Service for any commercial purpose without our written consent
5. Data You Enter About Others
Melt allows you to store information about people who are not users of the Service — including their name, location, interests, and your private notes about them. You are solely responsible for the information you enter about others. By using this feature, you represent that:
You are using this information to maintain a genuine personal friendship
You will not enter information that is false, harmful, or intended to facilitate harassment
You understand that your private notes ("Considerations") are stored in our database and subject to our Privacy Policy
We are not responsible for how you choose to use or describe others within the app, but we reserve the right to terminate accounts used to harm or harass individuals.
6. Your Content
You retain ownership of the content you add to Melt, including friend profiles, hangout ideas, and notes ("Your Content").
By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display Your Content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Service. We do not claim ownership of Your Content and do not use it for any purpose beyond operating Melt.
You are responsible for ensuring that Your Content does not violate any third party's rights, including privacy rights.
7. Privacy
Your use of Melt is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at melt-together.com/privacy. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described there.
8. Intellectual Property
The Melt name, logo, app design, and all original content created by us are our intellectual property and may not be used without our written permission.
Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you beyond the limited license to use the Service as described here.
9. Third-Party Services
Melt uses third-party services to operate, including Supabase for data storage and authentication, and Netlify for hosting. Your use of Melt is subject to those services' own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party service providers beyond our obligations under our Privacy Policy.
The Service may allow you to share content through third-party platforms (such as your messaging apps). Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that any data stored in the Service will be preserved indefinitely.
Melt is a tool to support your friendships. We make no guarantee that using Melt will result in more or better social connection.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100 USD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights.
13. Termination
You may stop using Melt at any time and request deletion of your account by contacting hello@melt-together.com.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.
Sections 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 15 survive termination of these Terms.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date above. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify active users. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
15. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall first be addressed by contacting us at hello@melt-together.com. We will make a good faith effort to resolve disputes informally before either party pursues formal legal action.
If informal resolution is not possible, disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
16. App Store Terms
If you download Melt through the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply: (a) these Terms are between you and us, not Apple; (b) Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for Melt; (c) in the event of any failure of Melt to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any applicable purchase price; (d) Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to Melt or your use of it; and (e) Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
If you download Melt through the Google Play Store, these Terms are between you and us, not Google. Google has no responsibility or liability related to Melt or your use of it.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.
You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our rights freely.
