• Maintaining the security of your account credentials
• All activities that occur under your account
• Ensuring your profile information is accurate and up to date
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Harass, spam, or send unwanted communications to other users

• Other Handshake users may detect your presence at events
• Proximity data is recorded when both parties have the app active
• You can disable BLE detection at any time through the app settings
• Contact exchange requires explicit mutual consent from both parties

7. User Content

You retain ownership of all content you submit to the Service (profile information, notes, tags). By posting content, you grant Handshake a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and distribute your content solely for operating the Service.

You are responsible for ensuring your content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, features, code, and branding, is the property of Handshake and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service without our written permission.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Proximity detection accuracy depends on hardware capabilities and environmental factors.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Handshake shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to lost profits, data loss, or business interruption.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violations of these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. You may delete your account at any time through the app settings. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

13. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via the app or email. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration.
