Terms of Service

Castle Benscoter Ventures LLC · Chaser

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (individually a “User,” and collectively, “Users”) and Castle Benscoter Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us”), and govern your access to and use of the Chaser mobile application (“Chaser” or the “App”) and any other consumer-facing services that link to or otherwise present these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to the Chaser Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. The Services

Chaser is a real-time nightlife companion. The Services display information about bars, venues, and events — including estimated wait times, crowd levels, deals, and friend activity — and offer social planning tools and a rewards program.

Venue information shown in the Services (including occupancy, wait times, “vibe” descriptors, and deal availability) is drawn in substantial part from reports submitted by other Users and from third parties, and is provided as an estimate only. Company does not guarantee that any information in the Services is accurate, complete, or current, and does not guarantee entry to any venue, the availability of any deal, or the conditions at any venue.

Company is not a bar, restaurant, or alcohol vendor. Company does not sell, serve, or supply alcohol, and nothing in the Services is an offer by Company to do so.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 21 years of age to create an account or use the Services. The Services are not directed to, and may not be used by, persons under 21. Company requires you to attest that you are 21 or older when you create an account, and may suspend or terminate any account that misrepresents age. You are responsible for complying with all laws that apply to you, including laws governing the purchase and consumption of alcohol.

3. Accounts

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete registration information and to keep it up to date. You may register only one account, and you may not create an account on behalf of another person, use another User’s account, or sell, transfer, or share your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify Company promptly at castlebenscoterventures@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

4. Location Services

Core features of the Services — including venue discovery, check-ins, and friend presence — use your device’s location, as described in the Privacy Policy. Location permissions are controlled through your device settings, and friend location sharing can be turned off, paused, or hidden (“ghost mode”) at any time in the App. Some features will not function without location permissions enabled.

5. User Content

The Services allow you to submit content, including check-ins, crowd and wait reports, posts, comments, photos, and profile information (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting), display, and distribute that content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Services, consistent with the Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the content you submit and that it does not violate the rights of any third party or any law.

Content standards and moderation

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on the Services. You may not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, obscene, sexually explicit, violent, or that promotes dangerous or illegal activity, and you may not submit deliberately false venue reports. The Services provide tools to report objectionable content and to report or block abusive Users; Company reviews reports and acts on them, including removing content and ejecting Users who violate these standards. Company may remove or restrict any User Content at any time, at its sole discretion, with or without notice.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Falsify your location (including GPS spoofing) or submit check-ins for venues you are not physically at;
• Submit false crowd, wait, or deal reports, or otherwise manipulate venue statistics or the rewards program;
• Create multiple accounts, use another person’s account, or circumvent device, rate-limit, or anti-fraud controls;
• Harass, threaten, stalk, impersonate, or harm another User or any other person;
• Use the Services while operating a vehicle;
• Access the Services by any automated means (bots, scrapers), or copy, scrape, or resell data from the Services;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App, or interfere with the security or operation of the Services;
• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose, including any activity involving the purchase, supply, or consumption of alcohol by persons under 21.

Company may investigate violations and may suspend or terminate accounts, withhold or revoke rewards, and involve law enforcement where appropriate.

7. Rewards Program

The Services include a loyalty program in which Users earn stamps or points (“Points”) for verified activity, redeemable for rewards offered by participating venues (“Rewards”). The following rules apply:

• Points and Rewards have no cash value, are not your property, and are not transferable, assignable, or redeemable for cash.
• Rewards are offered and fulfilled by participating venues, not by Company. Venues are responsible for honoring Rewards, and all Rewards are subject to availability and to the venue’s own rules and legal obligations.
• Any Reward involving alcohol is available only where the venue has confirmed legal eligibility, only to Users 21 or older with valid ID, and only where permitted by law. Venues may refuse service in their discretion.
• Redemption codes expire as indicated at redemption and are single-use.
• Points and Rewards earned through fraud, falsified check-ins, or any breach of these Terms may be revoked, and the associated accounts suspended or terminated.
• Company may modify, suspend, or discontinue the rewards program, Point values, earning rules, or any Reward at any time.

8. Deals and Venue Information

Deals, specials, and event information displayed in the Services are offered by venues or submitted by Users, are informational only, and are subject to change or termination without notice. Company is not a party to any purchase between you and a venue and is not responsible for a venue’s failure to honor a deal, its pricing, its admission decisions, or the conditions at its premises.

9. Safety and Responsible Use

Nightlife involves inherent risks. You are solely responsible for your own safety, decisions, and conduct, including your consumption of alcohol. Drink responsibly, never drink and drive, and comply with all applicable laws. Company does not conduct background checks on Users, does not supervise venues or events, and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any User, venue, or third party, whether online or offline.

10. Intellectual Property

The Services — including the App, its design, text, graphics, logos, and software — are owned by Company or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on an Apple-branded device that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. “Chaser” and associated logos are trademarks of Company; no right or license to use them is granted except as necessary to use the Services as intended.

11. Third-Party Services

The Services may link to or interoperate with third-party services (for example, map and directions providers, venue websites, and social platforms). Company does not control and is not responsible for third-party services; your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

12. Apple App Store Terms

These Terms are an agreement between you and Company only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. The following apply to any use of the App obtained from the Apple App Store:

• Your license to the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App.
• In the event the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection or similar laws.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Company, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim.
• You represent that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time in the App or by contacting Company. Company may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms or to protect the Services or other Users. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends and unredeemed Points and Rewards are forfeited. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 10, and 14–17) survive.

14. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION IN THE SERVICES — INCLUDING WAIT TIMES, CROWD LEVELS, DEALS, AND VENUE DETAILS — IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, ANY VENUE, EVENT, OR OTHER USER, OR THESE TERMS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID COMPANY FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your User Content, your use of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact Company at castlebenscoterventures@gmail.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Ohio, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Each party waives any right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Changes to These Terms

Company may update these Terms on a rolling basis. If material changes are made, Company will provide notice through the Services or by other reasonable means, and the updated Terms will state a new effective date. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

19. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Company’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; Company may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the Services.

20. Contact

If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact Company at castlebenscoterventures@gmail.com.
