Terms of Service

Last updated: July 3, 2026 · Nightlyfe is pre-launch; these terms will be finalized with counsel before public release.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Nightlyfe (the "App," "we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Nightlyfe.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 21 years old to create an account or use Nightlyfe. By using the App, you represent that you are 21 or older, that the information you provide (including your birthday) is accurate, and that you will drink responsibly and comply with all applicable laws.

Nightlyfe is intended for personal, non-commercial use by individuals. Bar and venue staff accounts are subject to the additional terms in Section 10.

2. Your account

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. You may not share your account, let anyone under 21 use it, or maintain more than one personal account. You can permanently delete your account at any time from the app's Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. The service

Nightlyfe shows informational, crowdsourced, and estimated data about bars — including crowd levels, wait times, and vibe — to help you decide where to go. This data is provided by other users, venues, and automated estimates, and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Nightlyfe is not a reservation, booking, or guaranteed-entry service, and we do not control or operate any bar or venue.

4. Skip-the-line passes

A skip-the-line pass is a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to request expedited entry at a participating venue. It is not a guarantee of entry.
Admission is always at the venue's discretion and subject to capacity, ID checks, dress code, house rules, and local law. A venue may refuse or revoke entry to anyone.
Each pass is valid for one use, on the stated night, at the stated venue, until it expires as shown in the app. Once redeemed (torn/scanned at the door), it cannot be used again and cannot be reissued.
Passes are not gift cards, securities, or currency, may not be resold, transferred, or auctioned, and have no cash value except as expressly stated at purchase.

5. Nightlyfe credit & payments

Nightlyfe credit is a stored-balance feature you can add funds to and spend on passes within the app. Credit has no cash value outside the app, cannot be redeemed for cash, transferred to another account, or withdrawn, and does not earn interest. Stripe, a third-party payment processor, handles all card transactions. By making a purchase, you authorize us (via Stripe) to charge your selected payment method for the amount shown at checkout, including any applicable service fee. You are responsible for any taxes associated with your purchases, where applicable.

6. Refunds

Because passes and credit grant time-sensitive, on-demand access, purchases are generally final and non-refundable, except where required by law. If a venue is closed, refuses to honor a valid, unexpired pass, or otherwise fails to deliver what you paid for, contact us and we'll review the situation in good faith and make it right, which may include a credit or refund at our discretion.

7. Surveys, vibe checks & promotional rewards

Optional surveys and vibe checks may offer a chance to receive line-skip credit or a promo code. No purchase is necessary to participate. Rewards are limited, have no cash value beyond their stated in-app discount, and are awarded at our discretion. To keep crowd data trustworthy, some rewards (including check-ins and vibe checks) require your device to be verifiably near the venue, and are limited to one submission per venue per hour. Submitting false, automated, or location-spoofed information disqualifies you from the reward and may result in account suspension. A promo code or reward is personal to the account that earned it — you may share the code, but only the account it was issued to may redeem it. Where a survey involves a random drawing, winners are selected at random from eligible entries submitted during the entry period shown in the app; odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries.

8. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to: use fraudulent, false, or spoofed location data; tamper with, forge, resell, or duplicate passes or promo codes; create or use multiple accounts to circumvent limits; impersonate bar staff or gain unauthorized access to venue tools; scrape, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the App or its infrastructure; or use the App for any unlawful purpose. We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate accounts involved, including forfeiting any associated credit or pending rewards, without refund.

9. Content you submit

You retain ownership of the survey answers, vibe-check responses, and other content you submit. By submitting it, you grant Nightlyfe a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, aggregate, and display that content (including in de-identified or aggregated form, such as a venue's overall crowd rating) to operate and improve the service. Do not submit content that is false, unlawful, or that infringes another person's rights.

10. Bar & venue partners

Venues and their staff who use Nightlyfe's partner tools (scanning, promotions, staff management) do so under these Terms and any additional partner agreement provided separately. Staff access is granted at the discretion of the venue owner or an authorized manager and may be revoked at any time.

11. Third-party services

Nightlyfe relies on third-party services to operate, including Google Firebase (backend and data storage), Stripe (payments), and Apple/Google (sign-in). Your use of those features may also be subject to those providers' own terms.

12. Intellectual property

Nightlyfe, our logo, and the App's content and design are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose. All other rights are reserved.

13. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Crowd levels, wait times, vibe data, and other in-app information are estimates and may be inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete. We do not guarantee entry to any venue, the accuracy of any listing, or that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Nightlyfe and its officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the App. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $100.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify Nightlyfe against any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the App, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Dispute resolution

We'd rather resolve disagreements directly — contact us first and we'll try to sort it out informally. If a dispute can't be resolved informally, you and Nightlyfe agree to resolve it through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and Nightlyfe each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing us with your name and a clear statement that you opt out.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 16, the state and federal courts located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the product evolves. We'll post the new effective date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the App. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Nightlyfe regarding the App.

This is a good-faith starting agreement for a pre-launch product, drafted without a licensed attorney. Have it reviewed by legal counsel and aligned with your final features, payment terms, and jurisdiction before you rely on it or take payments at scale.
