Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use the In The Block mobile app and website (the "Service"), operated by In The Block ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

Who can use In The Block

You must be at least 21 years old to use the Service, because many listed deals involve alcohol. Businesses may ask for ID before honoring any deal.

Your account

• Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
• Keep your password and phone secure. We use your phone number to verify that it's you, so you're responsible for activity on your account.
• One account per person. Don't share or sell your account.

About the deals

Deals are offered by independent bars and restaurants, not by us. We work to keep listings accurate, but businesses can change, limit, or end a deal at any time, and we can't guarantee that a deal is available, accurate, or honored. The business is responsible for its food, drinks, and service. If a deal looks wrong, please report it in the app.

Redeeming deals

• Redeem a deal only while you are at the business. The app checks your location when you redeem.
• Each deal can be redeemed once per day per account unless the deal says otherwise.
• Deals have no cash value, can't be transferred, and may have conditions set by the business.
• Don't fake your location, use multiple accounts, or otherwise game redemptions. We may cancel redemptions and suspend accounts that do.

Community notes

You own the tips you post. By posting, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and modify them as part of operating the Service. Your notes are public and show your name. Don't post anything that is false, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, illegal, or that infringes someone else's rights, and don't post spam or advertising. We may remove notes and suspend accounts that break these rules.

Things you agree not to do

• Use the Service for anything illegal or to harm others.
• Scrape, copy, or resell deal listings or other content from the Service without our permission.
• Interfere with the Service, try to access accounts or systems you aren't allowed to, or reverse engineer the app.
• Impersonate anyone or misrepresent your connection to a business.

Our content

The Service, including its design, logos, and software, belongs to In The Block and its licensors. You may use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use. Business names and trademarks belong to their owners.

Third-party services

The Service relies on and links to third parties, such as Google and Apple sign-in, map and directions apps, and business websites. Their own terms apply, and we aren't responsible for them.

Ending your use

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account in the app under Profile, Settings, Delete account, or by emailing hello@intheblock.app. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or misuse the Service.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't promise that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any deal will be available.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, In The Block will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your visit to or dealings with a business you found through the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to $100.

Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold In The Block harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the Service, your community notes, or your breach of these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If we do, we will change the effective date above, and for significant changes we will tell you in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms.
