Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Lati mobile application and services ("Service"). By accessing or using Lati, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Service.

Eligibility

To use Lati, you must:

• Be at least 13 years old (users under 18 require parental consent)
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
• Not be prohibited from using the Service under applicable laws
• Provide accurate and complete registration information

By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

Account Registration and Security

When you create an account:

• You must provide accurate, current, and complete information
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials
• You must not share your account with others
• You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access
• You are responsible for all activities under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Acceptable Use

You Agree To:

• Use Lati only for finding and coordinating sports activities
• Treat other users with respect and courtesy
• Show up to games you commit to joining
• Provide honest feedback and ratings
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
• Respect others' privacy and safety

You Must Not:

• Harass, bully, threaten, or intimidate other users
• Post offensive, discriminatory, or illegal content
• Impersonate others or create fake accounts
• Use Lati for commercial purposes without authorization
• Spam, solicit, or advertise without permission
• Attempt to access unauthorized parts of the Service
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service
• Scrape, copy, or reverse engineer the app
• Use bots or automated tools
• Post sexual, violent, or inappropriate content
• Use Lati for dating or romantic purposes (use dedicated dating apps instead)

User Content

You retain ownership of content you post (messages, photos, etc.). However, by posting content, you grant Lati a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

• Display, distribute, and store your content within the Service
• Use your content for app improvement and analytics (anonymized)
• Moderate, remove, or flag content that violates these Terms

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have rights to the content you post
• Your content does not violate any laws or third-party rights
• Your content does not contain malware or harmful code

Reliability Score and Community Standards

Lati uses a reliability scoring system to maintain community trust:

• You earn points by showing up to games (+5 per completion)
• You lose points for no-shows (-15 per no-show)
• Your score affects your visibility and matching priority
• Consistently low scores may result in account restrictions

This system exists to protect the community. If you commit to a game, show up. Emergency cancellations are understandable, but repeated flaking harms others.

Safety and In-Person Meetings

Safety Guidelines:

• Meet in public, well-lit locations (courts, parks)
• Tell someone where you're going and when you'll return
• Trust your instincts - if something feels off, leave
• Do not share personal information (home address, financial details)
• Report suspicious behavior immediately
• Bring your own water and equipment when possible

Lati is not responsible for in-person interactions. We provide a platform to connect, but cannot guarantee the behavior of users. Use common sense and stay safe.

Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in Lati (including the app, logo, design, code, and features) belong to Lati or our licensors. You may not:

• Copy, modify, or create derivative works
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices
• Use our trademarks without written permission
• Reverse engineer or decompile the app

Third-Party Services

Lati may integrate with third-party services (maps, payment processors, analytics). Your use of these services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
