Last updated: June 29th, 2026
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between Social Circles, LLC ("Social Circles," "we," "us," or "our")—owner and operator of the High5 Circles website, mobile site, emails, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service")—and you, the person ("you," "your," or "User") who accesses, registers for, or otherwise uses the Service.
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you (a) acknowledge you have read and understood these Terms; (b) agree to be bound; and (c) represent you are at least 18 years old and legally competent to enter into contracts. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may modify these Terms at any time. We will post the revised Terms and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. We may also change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service (including pricing or features) at any time.
Registration Data. You must provide accurate, current information (name, email, password, any identity-verification details) and maintain it.
Account Security. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your credentials; keep them confidential. Notify us immediately of unauthorised use.
One Account Rule. You may not maintain multiple active accounts.
Suspension / Termination. We may suspend, limit, or terminate your access for any breach, suspected fraud, or behaviour we deem harmful.
Plans. Paid plans (e.g., Basic, Premium) and free-trial promotions are described on the Site. Plan benefits, prices, and renewal periods may change; we will give at least 30 days' notice of price increases.
Payment Processor. We use Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") to process payments. By subscribing you agree to Stripe's terms and authorize Stripe to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
Free-for-First-100 Promotion. If you register within the first 100 sign-ups, we will waive subscription fees for one (1) calendar month beginning on the date of your first successful subscription charge authorization. Verification fees (e.g., identity checks) are not waived.
Cancellation. You can cancel anytime in your account Billing Portal. Cancellation stops future charges; amounts already paid are non-refundable except where required by law.
Failed Payments / Chargebacks. We may suspend or terminate your access until payment issues are resolved; you remain liable for amounts owed and recovery costs.
To foster safety, we may require completion of third-party identity checks (currently via Stripe Identity) before or after you join a Circle. You consent to the collection and processing of the necessary personal data (government ID image, selfie, biometric template, address, date of birth, etc.) for verification purposes. Failure to pass, or refusal to complete, verification may result in cancellation of reservations or account suspension without refund.
Not Affiliated With Venues. Circles meet at independent cafés; Social Circles is not partnered with, employed by, or responsible for the venue. You are a regular customer; purchase of food & beverage is your responsibility.
Arrivals & Table Identification. Instructions (e.g., upside-down cup signal) will be provided in reminder emails; follow them to locate your group.
Code of Conduct. Be respectful, inclusive, non-discriminatory. No hate speech, harassment, political canvassing, recruiting, or commercial pitches. Violation may result in immediate removal and account termination.
Assumption of Risk. Meeting strangers carries inherent risks. You knowingly assume all risks, including illness (e.g., COVID-19), injury, property loss, or other harm. Always use common sense (e.g., meet in daylight, keep belongings secure, leave if uncomfortable).
You may upload text, photos, or other content ("User Content").
The Service, including trademarks, logos, text, graphics, and software, is owned by Social Circles or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international law. You receive a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party sites (Stripe, Google Maps, etc.). We are not responsible for those services; your use is governed by their terms.
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties—express or implied—including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Social Circles (and its owners, employees, agents, suppliers) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service—even if we have been advised of the possibility. Our total liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) amounts you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim or (b) $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in such cases the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Social Circles and its affiliates against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (i) your use of the Service; (ii) your breach of these Terms; or (iii) your violation of any law or third-party right.
Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Informal Resolution. Contact us first at support@high5circles.com; we will try to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.
Arbitration. If unresolved, disputes will be finally settled by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. No class actions; each party may bring claims only on its own behalf.
Venue. The arbitration shall be held in Phoenix, Arizona (or remotely, if agreed).
Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek interim injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force. Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver.
These Terms (plus any additional policies referenced herein, such as the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and Social Circles regarding the Service and supersede all prior oral or written understandings.
