Terms of Use & Community Guidelines

1. What GoTogether is

GoTogether lets people who ride or travel together see each other's locations on a map. You can use:

• Solo mode (not in a group): only for recording your own rides and navigation. Nobody else can see your live location.
• Group mode (in a multi-person group): you and the group members see each other's live locations.
• Public events: groups started by users that anyone can join.

We provide the tool. We are not the organizer of any event, and we are not a travel agency, a riding team or a rescue service. Public events are started and run by users, who are responsible for them.

2. Your account and nickname

• You can use most features without signing up. The system creates an anonymous ID for your device.
• Your nickname is visible to people in the same group or public event. Don't use someone else's name to pretend to be them, and don't put personal details such as phone numbers, addresses or social media accounts in your nickname.
• You are responsible for what you do with this app.

3. Location sharing: what to know

Solo mode (not in a group)

• Nobody else can see your live location.
• After each ride, the app uploads a masked and simplified ride summary (distance, time, climb, average speed, badges, thumbnail) to the cloud so your friends can see it in the friends feed. Who can see it depends on your default ride visibility: public, friends of friends (default), friends only, or only me. If you choose "only me", nothing is uploaded.

Group mode (in a multi-person group)

• Once you join a group, everyone in it can see your live location until you leave the group or stop sharing.
• You can leave a group at any time; after that, others can no longer see your location.

Public events

• Anyone can see a public event in the app and join it, and after joining they can see every member's location. So:
  • Don't meet or finish at your home, school, workplace or anywhere you don't want strangers to know.
  • When riding with people you don't know, choose a busy, public meeting point and tell friends or family your plans.
  • If you start a public event, make sure you're comfortable with strangers joining.

4. What you can post (public events)

A public event's title, start time, organizer nickname and member count are shown to all users. You may only post events about riding or traveling together. Each person can have at most 2 public events at a time.

5. What's not allowed

In titles, nicknames, event content, or anything you do with GoTogether, you must not:

1. Post content or do anything illegal (including recruiting for illegal activities, illegal gambling, drugs or weapons).
2. Harass, threaten, bully or discriminate, or use hate speech (about race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, disability and so on).
3. Post sexual, violent, gory or otherwise disturbing content.
4. Scam or post fake events: lure people into false events, take their money or personal data, or use events for sales or advertising.
5. Impersonate others, or reveal or publish other people's personal data (including their location).
6. Encourage dangerous behavior, such as riding under the influence, racing through red lights, ignoring traffic signals, or anything else that clearly endangers yourself or others.
7. Abuse or disrupt the service: create large numbers of pointless events, deliberately hold group codes, spam, misuse reports, or try to break or bypass the app's limits.
8. Infringe others' intellectual property.
9. Do anything else we reasonably believe harms users or this service.

6. Riding safety

• Follow local traffic rules and put safety first. Don't use your phone while riding.
• Locations shown by GoTogether may be inaccurate or delayed and are not guaranteed to be real-time or exact. Don't rely on them alone to judge whether your companions are safe.
• The emergency button only notifies members of your group. It does not call the police and is not a rescue service. In an emergency, call your local emergency number (it depends on where you are), for example:
  • Taiwan: 110 (police), 119 (fire and ambulance)
  • Japan: 110 (police), 119 (fire and ambulance)
  • EU countries: 112
  • USA, Canada: 911
  • UK: 999

7. Limits of liability

GoTogether is provided "as is". Activities, arrangements and conduct between users are the users' own responsibility. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage caused by user activities, routes, riding accidents, location errors, other people's conduct, or service interruptions. This does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Reporting, blocking and how we respond

What you can do:

• Report: on a public event's detail page, tap the "⋮" at the top right, choose "Report this event", then pick a reason. Only we can see reports; the person reported won't know who reported them.
• Block: choose "Hide this organizer's events" in the same menu, and you won't see that organizer's events anymore. Blocking only affects you and can be undone any time in Settings.

What we do:

• We review reported content and aim to start within 24 hours.
• Events that break the rules are taken down. For serious or repeated violations, we may limit or stop your ability to create public events, or suspend your access.
• In serious cases that endanger others (for example threats to safety or illegal acts), we may notify the relevant authorities.
• We don't necessarily notify you in advance, and we can't promise every item will be reviewed, so please help by reporting.

9. Content you provide

Titles, nicknames and other content you enter remain yours. You allow us to store and display them in order to provide and show the service. You promise you have the right to use that content.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For significant changes we will raise the version number and ask you to agree again the next time you use it. If you don't agree, you can stop using public events or stop using the app.

11. Privacy

For how we handle your data, see the Privacy Policy: https://u1401056.github.io/legal/A01-PrivacyPolicy.html

12. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
