COORDIN8 shows you which days your friends are free, and turns one of those days into a plan. These terms are the agreement between you and the person who runs it. Please read them — they are short by the standards of this sort of document, and written to be understood.
These terms were prepared for a pre-launch product and have not been reviewed by a lawyer. They were written in good faith to describe accurately how COORDIN8 works today, but they are not legal advice and they have not been checked by anyone qualified to check them.
The operator should have them reviewed by a lawyer before COORDIN8 launches publicly, and again before anything is offered for sale.
COORDIN8 is free and in an early stage. Your friends see when you are free — never what you are doing. Restaurants, events and travel prices come from other companies and can be wrong, so check before you rely on them. Nothing is for sale right now. Be decent to the people you invite. If something goes wrong, email abasefi0207@gmail.com and we will try to sort it out before anyone talks about lawyers.
The short version is a summary, not a substitute. The numbered sections below are what actually applies.
COORDIN8 is operated by an individual sole developer based in Sacramento, California, USA ("we", "us", "the operator"). These terms are an agreement between you and that individual. In them, "COORDIN8" or "the service" means the web app at coordin8-rho.vercel.app, the COORDIN8 iOS app (built, but not yet released), and any related features we provide.
You accept these terms by creating an account or by using COORDIN8 in any way. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.
COORDIN8 is early software and it changes often, so these terms will change too. When we make a change that materially affects your rights or obligations, we will give you reasonable notice before it takes effect — by email to the address on your account, by a notice in the app, or both — and we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If you keep using COORDIN8 after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms. If you do not want to accept them, you can stop using the service and delete your account at any time (see section 12). Changes are not retroactive: the version of these terms in force when something happened is the version that applies to it.
Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we do with it, and forms part of your agreement with us. Where a specific feature has its own additional terms, those apply to that feature alongside these.
To use COORDIN8 you must:
COORDIN8 is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow them to create accounts. If we learn that someone under the applicable minimum age has an account, we will delete it. If you believe a child under the minimum age is using COORDIN8, please email us at abasefi0207@gmail.com.
If you are using COORDIN8 on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms on its behalf, and "you" then means both you and that organisation.
You can create an account with an email address and a password, or by signing in with Google. Sign-in with Apple is planned and will be available once enabled. Whichever way you sign in:
We may need to reclaim a username in limited cases — for example where it impersonates someone, infringes a trade mark, or is being squatted on — and we will let you know if we do.
COORDIN8 exists so that people can see when their friends are free and make plans together. Availability information is personal, and in the wrong hands it tells someone where you will and will not be. Most of the rules below follow from that.
If you see something on COORDIN8 that breaks these rules, please report it to abasefi0207@gmail.com. We may remove content, restrict features, suspend an account or terminate it for a breach of this section, as described in section 12.
"Your content" means anything you put into COORDIN8: your profile name and photo, plan titles and descriptions, options you propose, votes, chat messages, checklist items, photos you upload, availability you mark, and anything else you create or submit.
You keep ownership of your content. These terms do not transfer any ownership of it to us.
To run COORDIN8 at all — to show your plan to the friends in it, to sync your availability across your devices, to display a photo you uploaded — we need your permission to handle your content. So you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable (only to the service providers who host and deliver the service for us) licence to host, store, copy, reproduce, adapt for technical purposes such as formatting and resizing, transmit and display your content.
That licence is only for operating, maintaining, securing, supporting and improving COORDIN8. It does not let us sell your content, publish it outside the service, use it in advertising, or show it to people you did not share it with.
The licence ends when you delete the content or delete your account, except that: (a) copies may remain in routine encrypted backups for a limited period before they are overwritten in the ordinary course; (b) content you shared with other people — a message in a group plan, for example — may remain visible to them, because it is part of their conversation too; and (c) we may keep content where the law requires us to, or where we need it to resolve a dispute or enforce these terms.
You confirm that you have the rights necessary to post your content and to grant the licence above, and that your content does not break these terms or any law.
We do not routinely monitor content, and we are not obliged to. But we may remove or restrict any content that we reasonably believe breaks these terms or the law, or that exposes us or another user to liability or harm. Where it is practical and lawful to do so, we will tell you why. If you believe content of yours was removed in error, email us and we will look at it again.
If you send us suggestions or feedback about COORDIN8, we may use them freely, without obligation to you and without owing you anything for them. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.
COORDIN8 lets you bring other people in: you can invite friends, create groups, name people in a plan or on a checklist, and send an "answer link" to someone who has no account at all so they can say whether they are free.
When you do that, you are responsible for having a proper basis for it. Specifically, you confirm that:
Someone who answers a link is not creating an account and is not agreeing to anything ongoing. They give a name and a simple answer — free, busy or not sure; coming, can't or maybe — and that is all. Please treat that answer as what it is: a favour to you, for one question.
If you tell us to remove someone's information, or if that person asks us to, we will do so promptly. Requests go to abasefi0207@gmail.com.
You can connect Google Calendar, a Microsoft or Outlook calendar, or an ICS subscription URL. Connecting is optional. COORDIN8 works without it.
When you connect a calendar, you authorise us to read enough of it to work out when you are busy — the start and end times of your events. COORDIN8 derives your busy times from that and shares only free/busy availability with the friends and groups you have chosen. Your friends never see your event titles, descriptions, locations, attendees or any other detail of what you are doing. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what we hold and for how long.
Write-back is a separate, optional permission that is off unless you turn it on. If you turn it on, COORDIN8 can create real events in your connected calendar when a plan is confirmed. Those are real entries in your real calendar: they may be visible to anyone who can see that calendar, they may sync to your other devices, and they may trigger notifications or invitations through your calendar provider. Please make sure you are comfortable with that before enabling it. You can turn write-back off at any time in your profile; doing so stops new events being created but does not delete events already created.
You can disconnect a calendar in COORDIN8 at any time, and you can also revoke our access directly with your provider — in your Google Account permissions, your Microsoft account settings, or by removing the ICS subscription. When you disconnect, we stop reading that calendar.
Google, Microsoft and any ICS host are independent third parties. Your use of their services is governed by their terms and their privacy policies, not ours. We are not responsible for their availability, their accuracy, their security, their pricing, or for changes they make to their APIs or permissions — including changes that break or disable a connection in COORDIN8. If a provider changes something, we will do what we reasonably can to adapt, but we cannot promise a connection will keep working.
COORDIN8 shows you restaurants, bars and other venues from Google Places, events from Ticketmaster, and flight and hotel prices from third-party travel pricing services. None of that information is ours, none of it is verified by us, and any of it may be wrong, out of date, or unavailable. Check with the venue, seller or operator before you rely on it.
Venue, event, deal and travel content in COORDIN8 is a suggestion and a link. We do not sell, book, reserve, ticket or arrange anything. We take no payment for any of it. We are not a party to any transaction between you and a venue, ticket seller, airline, hotel, booking site or anyone else, and we have no involvement in and no responsibility for that transaction. Their terms, prices, cancellation rules and refund policies are theirs, and you deal with them directly.
Star ratings, review counts, opening hours, addresses, photos, map directions, ticket availability, and flight and hotel prices come from the providers named above. They are the providers' data, not our assessment. Travel prices in particular are frequently drawn from cached results of other people's searches, so a price you see in COORDIN8 may no longer exist by the time you follow the link. Treat every price as an estimate for deciding, never as a quote.
A venue appearing in COORDIN8 is not a recommendation, endorsement or vetting by us. We have not visited it, checked it, or assessed whether it is safe, accessible, open, suitable for your group, or licensed to do what it does. We are not responsible for anything that happens at a venue you found through COORDIN8, or for anything a third-party business does or fails to do. Use your own judgement, as you would with a search engine result.
Please confirm the things that matter — that a place is open, that it takes your group size, that a ticket is genuine and still available, that a price is real, that an address is right, and that travel arrangements are what you think they are — directly with the business concerned. Do not rely on COORDIN8 for anything time-critical, expensive or safety-related without checking.
COORDIN8 links out to third-party sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, their security or their practices. Some travel links may carry an affiliate identifier, which means that if you book through one, the operator may receive a commission from the booking provider. Any such commission is paid by the provider and does not change the price you pay. It also does not change what we show you: results are not ranked or selected in exchange for payment.
The heart of COORDIN8 is people saying when they are free. That information comes from users and from calendars users have connected, and it can be wrong for all the ordinary reasons: someone forgot to update a calendar, someone marked a day free and then made other arrangements, a calendar was slow to sync, a person guessed, or someone answered a link on another person's behalf.
Availability shown in COORDIN8 is an indication, not a commitment. A person shown as free has not promised to be free, and a confirmed plan is not a contract between the people in it. Please do not rely on COORDIN8 for anything where being wrong would matter — medical, legal, financial, travel, childcare, work obligations, safety, or anything else that requires certainty. Confirm important arrangements with the people involved, directly.
COORDIN8 is free. There is nothing to buy, no feature is behind a payment, and we never ask you for card details.
Reasonable limits may apply to keep the service running and to stop it being abused.
Nothing in these terms is a promise that COORDIN8 will always be free, or that any particular feature will stay available. Equally, nothing here commits you to paying for anything. If that ever changes, we will update these terms and tell you in the app first, and you would never be charged without choosing to pay.
COORDIN8 is early, pre-release software, built and run by one person. Please hold it accordingly.
You may stop using COORDIN8 at any time, and you may delete your account from within the app. If you cannot find the option or it does not work, email abasefi0207@gmail.com and we will delete it for you.
We may suspend or terminate your access, or remove your content, if:
Where the breach is serious — in particular anything involving harm to a person, harassment, stalking, or content involving minors — we may act immediately and without notice. Otherwise we will give you notice where it is reasonable to do so, and where the problem can be fixed we will normally give you a chance to fix it. If you think we got it wrong, email us and we will review it.
When your account is deleted, we delete or anonymise your personal data and your content within a reasonable period, subject to: copies in routine backups until they expire in the ordinary course; content you shared with others that remains part of their plans and conversations; anonymised or aggregated data that no longer identifies you; and anything we must keep by law or need to resolve a dispute or enforce these terms. Our Privacy Policy has the detail. Deletion is permanent and we cannot undo it.
Sections that by their nature should continue do so after termination, including 5 (as to the limited backup and shared-content carve-outs), 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.
Some of this section is in capitals because that is the conventional way of signalling that it matters. It matters.
COORDIN8 is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of a course of dealing or usage of trade.
Without limiting the above, the operator does not warrant that the service will meet your requirements; that it will be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; that any defect will be corrected; that availability information, venue information, event information, travel prices, ratings, directions or any other content will be accurate, complete, current or reliable; or that notifications will be delivered.
Any content, product or service obtained from a third party through COORDIN8 — including any venue, ticket seller, airline, hotel, booking site or calendar provider — is obtained at your own discretion and risk, and the operator makes no warranty regarding it and is not responsible for it.
Nothing in this section limits any warranty or guarantee that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some or all of the above may not apply to you. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, or another place with mandatory consumer guarantees, you keep the rights that law gives you, in full, and nothing here overrides them.
COORDIN8 is free. This section limits what the operator can be held liable for, and it is drafted with that in mind.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, business, data or anticipated savings, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use COORDIN8, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not the operator has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator's total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to COORDIN8 or these terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid the operator for the service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (US$100).
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator is not liable for: the acts or omissions of any other user; anything that happens at a venue, event or business you found through COORDIN8; any transaction between you and a third party; the accuracy of any third-party content, price, rating or listing; the acts, omissions, security or availability of any third-party service, including calendar providers, hosting providers, app stores and payment processors; or any decision you make in reliance on availability information.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. That includes, in particular, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence; liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and any other liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some or all of the above may not apply to you. If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, your statutory rights are unaffected, and nothing in this section limits the operator's liability where the law of your country of residence does not permit it.
The limits in this section apply even if a remedy stated in these terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. They reflect a fair allocation of risk for a service that is provided free of charge, and are a basis on which the operator is able to offer it at all.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and reasonable legal fees brought by a third party and arising out of:
This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from the operator's own breach, negligence or wrongdoing. We will notify you of any claim we seek indemnity for, and you may participate in the defence; we will not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation on you without your consent, which you will not unreasonably withhold. If you are a consumer, this section applies only to the extent your local law allows it.
These terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to COORDIN8, are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Subject to section 17, you and the operator agree that the state and federal courts located in Sacramento County, California will have jurisdiction over any dispute that is not resolved informally or through arbitration, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.
This clause is not meant to take away rights you have where you live, and it does not. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or any other country whose law gives you mandatory protections, you keep the benefit of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under that law.
EU consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform, though we would much rather you emailed us first.
If you have a problem, email abasefi0207@gmail.com with the subject line "Dispute", describing what happened and what you would like us to do. We will do the same if we have a problem with you. Both of us agree to try in good faith to resolve it informally for at least 30 days before starting any formal proceeding. There is one person running COORDIN8 and an email will reach them.
If we cannot resolve a dispute within those 30 days, then — unless you opt out below, and subject to the carve-outs that follow — you and the operator agree to resolve it by binding individual arbitration rather than in court. Arbitration is a private process before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury.
You can opt out of arbitration, and it takes one email. Send an email to abasefi0207@gmail.com with the subject line "Arbitration opt-out", stating your name and the email address on your account, within 30 days of first accepting these terms (or of the date any change to this section takes effect). That is all that is required. Opting out costs you nothing, changes nothing else about your account, and will never be held against you — disputes will simply be resolved in the courts identified in section 16 instead.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where a pre-dispute agreement to arbitrate or a class-action waiver is not enforceable against consumers, this arbitration section does not apply to you and your dispute will be handled under section 16, preserving your right to bring proceedings where you live.
This section applies if you obtained the COORDIN8 iOS app through the Apple App Store. It is required by Apple, and where it conflicts with the rest of these terms as regards Apple, this section governs.
COORDIN8 is built and run by an individual sole developer based in Sacramento, California, USA.
For anything at all — a question about these terms, a report of misuse, a request to remove information, a data or privacy request, a dispute, or an arbitration opt-out — email:
We read every message and will reply as quickly as one person reasonably can. If your message is urgent — a safety concern, harassment, or content involving a minor — please say so in the subject line and it will be prioritised.
