Terms of Use

Last updated: October 8, 2026

Welcome to ROWMATE. By downloading, installing, or using the ROWMATE application ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. About ROWMATE

ROWMATE is a proximity-based social app, available on iPhone and Android, that lets users discover people nearby via Bluetooth, see the places around them and chat with the people present in the place they are in, connect with other members, and continue conversations online. The App is developed and operated by Benjamin Taieb.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use ROWMATE. By using the App, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

3. Account & Profile

  • You may create a profile with a nickname, photos, bio, and other optional information
  • You are responsible for the accuracy of your profile information
  • You sign in with Apple, Google or an e-mail address and a password
  • You must not impersonate other people or create misleading profiles

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use ROWMATE respectfully and lawfully. You must NOT:

  • Harass, threaten, bully, or intimidate other users
  • Send unsolicited sexual, violent, or offensive content
  • Use the App for illegal activities
  • Attempt to collect data from other users without consent
  • Impersonate another person or entity
  • Use the App for commercial solicitation or spam
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer or exploit the App
  • Use the App if you are under 18 years old

5. Connections & Consent

  • All connections require mutual consent — both users must agree to connect
  • You are only visible to other users when you manually activate the Radar
  • You can block or remove any connection at any time
  • Blocked users cannot see your profile or contact you

6. Content & Messages

  • You retain ownership of content you create (photos, messages, profile info)
  • By using the App, you grant ROWMATE a license to transmit and store your content for the purpose of delivering the service
  • We may remove content that violates these Terms
  • We may suspend or ban users who repeatedly violate community standards

Places and Group Chats

  • You can only enter a place, read its group chat and see who is there while you are physically in that place
  • Messages in a place's group chat are visible to every member present and are deleted automatically after 6 hours
  • The same rules of conduct apply as everywhere else in the App. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users: such content is removed and its author is banned
  • You can report or block the author of any message by pressing and holding it

Passes and Subscriptions

  • Some features require a paid pass or an auto-renewing subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly), purchased through the App Store or Google Play at the price shown before purchase
  • Payment is charged to your Apple or Google account. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
  • You manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies

7. Reporting & Safety

If you encounter inappropriate behavior, you can report a user directly from their profile or chat. We review all reports within 24 hours and may take action including:

  • Warning the reported user
  • Temporarily suspending the account
  • Permanently banning the user

8. Disclaimer

  • ROWMATE is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
  • We do not guarantee the identity, intentions, or behavior of other users
  • We are not responsible for interactions between users outside the App
  • Bluetooth range and availability depend on device hardware and environment
  • We do not guarantee continuous availability of the service

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Benjamin Taieb shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to ROWMATE at any time for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time, in the App (Profile → Delete account) or as explained on this page.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of France. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Paris, France.
