5. Content Ownership & Licence
Your content: You retain ownership of all content you post, submit, or share on Wondermates ("User Content"), including profile photos, trip descriptions, and chat messages. By posting User Content, you grant Wondermates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.
Our content: All other content on the Service — including our logo, design, software, text, and features — is owned by or licensed to Wondermates and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute our content without written permission.
Content standards: You represent that your User Content does not violate any third-party rights, contains no malware or harmful code, and complies with all applicable laws.
Removal: We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to the Service or its users.
6. Verification & Safety
Wondermates offers a selfie verification badge. While this badge indicates that a user has completed our verification process at the time of verification, it does not guarantee the ongoing authenticity or intentions of any user. Meeting other users — whether online or in person — is at your own risk.
We strongly encourage users to exercise caution when meeting anyone from the internet:
- Meet in public places.
- Tell a friend or family member where you are going.
- Trust your instincts.
- Report any suspicious behaviour using the in-app report feature.
Wondermates is not responsible for the conduct of users outside of the platform.
7. Subscription Terms (Wondermates Pro)
Wondermates offers an optional paid subscription called Wondermates Pro. By subscribing, you agree to the following:
- Billing: subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). Your payment method will be charged at the start of each billing period.
- Auto-renewal: subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
- Cancellation: you may cancel at any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you will continue to have Pro access until then.
- Refunds: we generally do not offer refunds for partial billing periods. Refunds may be issued at our discretion or as required by law. For App Store purchases, Apple's refund policy applies; for Google Play, Google's policy applies.
- Price changes: we may change subscription prices. We will give at least 30 days' notice of any price increase, and you may cancel before the new price takes effect.
- Free trials: if we offer a free trial, it will convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled beforehand.
