Terms of Service

Effective date: July 6, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Lynk ("Lynk", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the Lynk mobile application, the website located at lynkapp.ca, and any related services (collectively, the "Services"). By creating an account, joining our waitlist, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements and that any registration information you submit is accurate.

2. Your account

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
• You may not impersonate any person, misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, or create accounts by automated means.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
• Harass, threaten, intimidate, defame, or abuse any person;
• Post or transmit content that is illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, deceptive, or that infringes any intellectual property, privacy, or other right of any person;
• Send spam or other unsolicited communications, or engage in commercial solicitation without our prior written consent;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services; circumvent authentication or security measures; or access data not intended for you;
• Scrape, harvest, or collect information about other users without their consent;
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Services, including by overloading, flooding, or reverse engineering any portion of them.

We may investigate violations and may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion, with or without notice, where we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

4. User content

You retain ownership of the content you submit to the Services, including messages, photos, plans, and profile material ("User Content"). You grant Lynk a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display User Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, and improve the Services. This licence ends when your User Content is deleted from the Services, subject to limited backup retention.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to submit it. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any User Content, and we may remove User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.

5. Third-party services and content

The Services display information sourced from third parties, including place listings, ratings, and photographs. We do not verify and are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or safety of any third-party information, venue, or location. Your use of third-party services is subject to those parties' own terms and policies.

6. Plans and real-world activity

Lynk helps users organize social plans. We are not a party to any plan, gathering, or other real-world interaction arranged through the Services, and we have no responsibility for the conduct of any user or third party, online or offline. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users and for exercising appropriate caution and judgment when meeting others or visiting venues.

7. Intellectual property

The Services, including all software, designs, logos, and content provided by Lynk (excluding User Content), are owned by Lynk or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services except as permitted by law.

8. Beta status and availability

The Services may be offered on a pre-release or beta basis and may contain defects. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Services at any time, and we do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LYNK, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100) AND THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

11. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lynk and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or connected with your User Content, your use of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or right of a third party.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 through 15) will survive.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the Services. Your continued use of the Services after the revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the changes.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section deprives you of mandatory consumer protections available in your jurisdiction of residence.

15. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lynk regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
