ETHOMIS Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2025

Ethomis LLC (“Ethomis,” “we,” “us,” or “our“) provides a social platform service called ETHOMIS (including all versions and updates, collectively referred to as the “Service”). These Terms of Service (“Terms“) govern your access to and use of the Service. By accessing or using ETHOMIS, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

Please read these Terms carefully, along with all applicable laws and regulations. By using ETHOMIS, you confirm that you understand and accept all provisions of these Terms, including any amendments made from time to time. We reserve the right to modify these Terms as described in Section 13, and your continued use of the Service indicates your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use the Service. If you do not meet these requirements, discontinue use immediately. Ethomis is not responsible for activities or incidents occurring outside of our platform.

9.3 Third-Party Disclaimer

Third-Party Listings, Products, and Services. Ethomis LLC (“Ethomis”) provides a platform where independent third parties may list and offer physical goods and services. These third parties are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Ethomis. Ethomis does not pre-screen, endorse, monitor, or control third-party listings or conduct and makes no warranties regarding descriptions, pricing, availability, quality, safety, legality, fitness for a particular purpose, shipping/delivery, returns, refunds, scheduling, performance of services, or outcomes.
No Participation in Transactions. Transactions are solely between you and the third-party seller/provider. Ethomis is not a party to any contract you enter and has no responsibility for payment processing, chargebacks, fulfillment, performance, cancellations, or customer service for third-party offerings.
Your Due Diligence. You are solely responsible for evaluating third-party providers, verifying credentials and licensing, and determining whether a product or service is appropriate for your needs. Wellness or spiritual services are not medical, legal, or financial advice and are not a substitute for professional care.
Disputes. Any questions, complaints, or disputes must be addressed directly to the applicable third party. While Ethomis may, in its discretion, facilitate communications, Ethomis has no obligation to resolve disputes and assumes no liability arising from them.
Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and hold harmless Ethomis and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, or expenses of any kind, known or unknown, arising out of or related to any third-party listing, product, service, transaction, or conduct.
Right to remove, suspend, or restrict listings. Ethomis LLC (“Ethomis”) may, in its sole discretion, refuse, moderate, de-prioritize, restrict visibility of, remove, or permanently delete any listing (in whole or in part) and/or suspend or terminate your shop or service listings at any time, with or without notice, and for any or no reason, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Ethomis has no obligation to provide an explanation for any action taken and no liability for any resulting loss, including lost revenue, goodwill, or data. Fees paid are nonrefundable (except where required by law). Attempts to circumvent a removal—such as reposting substantially similar content—may result in additional enforcement, up to account termination. These rights apply in addition to any other remedies available under these Terms or applicable law and are exercised subject to applicable non-discrimination and consumer protection laws. Ethomis may preserve or disclose listing content as necessary to comply with law, enforce policies, or protect users and the Service.

10. Data Security and Global Operations

10.1 Security Measures

We take data security seriously and use appropriate:

Encryption technologies
Firewalls and access logs
Device-level protections
Limited access based on roles and responsibilities

We also use reputable third-party providers to host or process user data under strict confidentiality agreements.

10.2 Acknowledgement of Risk

While we work hard to protect your data, no system is 100% secure. By using the Service, you acknowledge that:

We cannot guarantee absolute data security
You transmit information to us at your own risk
You should use strong passwords and take personal precautions

If a breach occurs, we will:

Take prompt action to contain the issue
Notify affected users if required by law

10.3 International Data Transfers

Ethomis LLC is based in Colorado, USA. Your data may be processed on servers located in:

The United States
Other countries where we or our vendors operate

By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and storage of your data outside your home country, including jurisdictions that may not offer the same data protection laws.

We will treat your data in accordance with these Terms, regardless of where it is processed.

11. Age Restrictions

11.1 Minimum Age Requirement

The ETHOMIS platform is intended for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to register for and use the Service.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that someone under 18 has created an account or provided personal data, we will:

Immediately delete that data
Terminate the associated account

11.2 Parental Notification

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor under your care has accessed ETHOMIS or provided information to us, please contact us immediately at help@ethomis.com.

12. Virtual Currency & Account

12. 1 Virtual Currency (Coins)

Limited License for Virtual Currency: Ethomis may make available a virtual, in-app currency called “Coins” for use exclusively within the Ethomis mobile application. Coins can be redeemed only for designated in-app digital perks (for example, virtual gifts, badges, or special access features) as allowed by Ethomis, and for no other purpose. All Coins provided to you are licensed, not sold, and you obtain only a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use those Coins within the Ethomis platform, subject to full compliance with these Terms. Ethomis (the Company) retains all title, ownership, and intellectual property rights in and to the Coins at all times.
No Monetary Value; No Cash Redemption: Coins are not real money, are not legal tender, and are not backed by any government or credit. They have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or any real-world merchandise or monetary benefit. You acknowledge that Coins are digital content for entertainment purposes only and do not represent any property or vested rights – you do not “own” Coins; all Coins remain the sole property of Ethomis and are part of a limited license granted to you. Coins are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, except at our sole discretion or as required by law (for example, a refund may be issued if required by applicable consumer protection laws or platform rules). Importantly, Coins **do not constitute any form of “stored value,” “prepaid access,” or monetary instrument under U.S. federal or state law; they are not a deposit or bank account and are not insured by the FDIC or any financial institution.
Purchase and Issuance: Coins are issued and controlled solely by Ethomis (the sole authorized issuer of the Coins). You may obtain Coins only through authorized channels – for example, by purchasing them from Ethomis via in-app purchase on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (using the payment methods those platforms permit), or by earning promotional Coins through in-app activities, if offered. All purchases of Coins are final and non-refundable, except where expressly required by applicable law or the relevant app store provider’s policies. Ethomis reserves the right to set or change the price of Coins at any time (including the exchange rate between real currency and Coins), and to offer Coins in bundles or denominations at its discretion. Ethomis may also impose limits on the quantity of Coins you can purchase or hold in your account at any given time, or restrict the total amount of Coins obtainable within certain time periods, in order to protect users and the platform (for example, to prevent fraud or to comply with legal requirements). You are responsible for any taxes or duties applicable to the purchase or use of Coins, and such amounts (if any) may be added to the purchase price as required. All Coin transactions will be processed in accordance with our terms and the payment terms of the platform through which you obtain the Coins (e.g. Apple or Google), and you agree to comply with all relevant App Store or Google Play rules when buying or using Coins.
Limited Use; Non-Transferability: Coins may only be used within the Ethomis app to redeem the specific digital items and services that Ethomis makes available from time to time. Coins cannot be used to purchase any tangible goods or services outside of the Ethomis platform, and have no valid use outside the authorized in-app environment. Coins are non-transferable and may not be traded, gifted, or exchanged with any person or account except through official in-app features expressly permitted by Ethomis. In particular, you must not sell, barter, or attempt to transfer Coins to any other user, third party, or platform (outside of Ethomis’s own services) – any such attempted transfer or exchange is prohibited, void ab initio, and could result in termination of your account. Likewise, you may not convert Coins to any other currency or value, nor purchase Coins from any source other than Ethomis (any unauthorized purchase, sale, or transfer of Coins is a violation of these Terms). Ethomis may, in its sole discretion, allow certain in-app gifting or transfer features; however, unless expressly authorized within the Ethomis app, you have no right to transfer Coins to anyone else. Third-party marketplaces or exchanges for Coins are strictly forbidden – we do not recognize or facilitate any such outside exchanges, and use of any third-party platform to trade Coins for real money or value is a material breach of these Terms.
No Money Services; Regulatory Compliance: Coins are part of a closed-loop digital system and are not convertible to real currency or usable outside the Ethomis application. Because Coins cannot be exchanged for cash, withdrawn, or transferred as value to third parties outside the platform, they are not a form of “currency” or monetary value and are not subject to financial regulations applicable to payment instruments or money transmission. In particular, Coins are not “convertible virtual currency” as defined by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), since they have no equivalent value in fiat and cannot be used as a substitute for real money. The Coin program is structured to fall under applicable exemptions for digital content and loyalty/rewards programs – for example, it may be considered closed-loop prepaid access that is exempt from money transmitter licensing in U.S. jurisdictions when used solely to purchase goods/services from the issuer (Ethomis) and below certain value thresholds. By using Coins, you acknowledge that no real money is being transmitted or exchanged and that Ethomis is not acting as a money transmitter or banking institution by offering this in-app currency. Ethomis does not provide any ability to cash out Coins for money, and no transaction involving Coins will ever result in the transfer of any actual currency or monetary value between users. These Terms intend to ensure that Coins remain a limited, game-like digital product for interactive entertainment, avoiding any characterization as regulated financial services or stored-value products under federal or state law.
Termination; Loss of Coins: Your right to use Coins is conditional on your continued compliance with the Ethomis Terms of Service and any applicable policies. Ethomis reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to Coins (and/or your Ethomis account) immediately if you violate these Terms, if fraudulent or illegal activity related to your Coins is suspected, or if Ethomis is required to do so by law or court order. In the event that your account is terminated (by you or by us) or if the Coins system is discontinued, you may forfeit any remaining Coin balance. Unused Coins are not redeemable or refundable (except if required by law), and upon termination any license you have to use the Coins will expire with no compensation to you. Ethomis may also, at any time and in its sole discretion, modify, suspend, or end the Coin program, or adjust the availability of items and perks obtainable with Coins, without any liability to you. This includes the right to change the manner in which Coins work, impose or alter expiration dates for Coins (if permitted by law), or cease selling or issuing Coins altogether. Ethomis will attempt to provide advance notice of any material changes to the virtual currency system, but we are not obligated to maintain any Coin or digital item indefinitely. You assume all risk of loss of any potential value or use of Coins upon the termination, suspension, expiration, or change of the Coin system or your account, and you agree not to assert any claims against Ethomis for loss of your Coins or of any virtual perks due to account closure, Coins removal, or other management decisions regarding the in-app currency. In summary, Coins are digital privileges that may be modified or revoked by Ethomis as needed to protect our platform and comply with the law, and you release Ethomis from any liability for the loss or expiration of any virtual currency or rewards as described herein.

12.2 Inactivity Policy

If your account is inactive for 730 consecutive days (24 months), we reserve the right to:
