Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Causling mobile app and related services ("Service"). Creating an account requires you to review and accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. We record that acceptance, including the document versions you accepted, on your account.
1. Agreement to terms
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Causling. They include our Privacy Policy and other in-product policies we publish. You must tap to accept the current Terms and Privacy Policy before we create or finish your account. Using the Service after acceptance also confirms that agreement.
2. Eligibility and account responsibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a contract. You are responsible for your account credentials and all activity under your account.
3. Platform purpose
Causling is a for-profit platform for causes and community participation. Causling is not a charity and does not provide tax advice.
4. Monthly Vote Access
Voting requires Monthly Vote Access for the current UTC calendar month only. Access includes one advisory vote on that month’s board unless the app explicitly states otherwise. Advisory votes are community signaling on Causling; they are not donations and do not create a charitable contribution.
Vote Access is a one-time in-app purchase for that UTC month. It is not a subscription, does not auto-renew, and unused access does not carry over to a later month. Access is tied to the purchaser’s Causling account and is non-transferable. See also How Vote Access works.
5. Purchases, billing, and UTC windows
In-app purchases are processed by Apple (and, where offered, other third-party app stores such as Google) under their store terms. Monthly Vote Access purchases are final through Causling. If a store reverses a charge, Causling removes remaining Vote Access for that UTC month.
Purchase of Monthly Vote Access includes the Apple sharing terms described in How Vote Access works, which you may update later in app settings.
At UTC month boundaries, purchases and voting may be briefly unavailable while entitlements reconcile.
6. Cause and community content
Users may create and share cause/community content subject to moderation and product limits. We may rank, delay, label, or remove content that violates policy.
When you create a cause or other community content, you represent that you have permission from every person and organization portrayed, named, or otherwise involved, and that you have the rights needed to submit any photos or other media. You are responsible for that content.
7. User content license
You keep ownership of content you submit, but grant Causling a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, display, distribute, and improve Service features using that content.
8. Community standards
You must not post unlawful, abusive, fraudulent, or rights-infringing content, and must not manipulate voting, abuse automation, or bypass platform safeguards.
9. Moderation and enforcement
We may review and enforce at our discretion, including warnings, removals, suspensions, or account termination. Enforcement timing and outcomes are not guaranteed.
10. Intellectual property and DMCA
Service software, branding, and platform materials are owned by Causling or its licensors. Copyright notices and counter-notices should be sent to Contact@Causling.com. Formal DMCA agent designation and mailing address will be published here when finalized; until then use that address for copyright concerns.
11. Third-party services
Your use of Apple, Google, AWS, and identity providers is also governed by their terms. We are not responsible for third-party service interruptions.
12. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free behavior, or any specific cause/community outcome.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Causling is not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Aggregate liability is limited to the greater of USD $100 or what you paid for Monthly Vote Access in the prior six months.
14. Dispute resolution
Disputes are governed by Texas law and should first go through informal resolution at Contact@Causling.com. Unless prohibited by law, disputes are resolved by individual arbitration, with class-action waiver. Arbitration mailing details will be published when finalized; until then use that same address.
15. Changes, suspension, and termination
We may update these Terms, change features, or suspend/terminate access when needed for safety, legal compliance, or platform integrity. You may delete your account in the app (Settings → Account).
