By submitting User Content, you grant South East Idaho a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, modify for technical or formatting purposes, display, distribute, transmit, and otherwise use your User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, promote, secure, moderate, and improve the Service.
This license does not transfer ownership of your User Content to us.
The license generally ends after your User Content is deleted from our active systems, except where copies reasonably remain in backups, security records, moderation records, legal records, or where retention is required by law.

- is otherwise inappropriate for the Service.
We may warn, restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts.
We may use automated systems, artificial intelligence, human reviewers, or a combination of methods to assist with moderation.
Moderation requires judgment. We do not guarantee that we will detect every violation or that every moderation decision will be correct.
Users may report content or other users through functionality provided within the Service or by contacting support@southeastidaho.app.
Users may block other users where blocking functionality is provided.

South East Idaho prohibits the publication or distribution of intimate images or videos without the depicted person’s consent, including AI-generated or digitally altered intimate depictions.
Requests for removal may be submitted through our in-app reporting functionality or to support@southeastidaho.app.
Requests should provide sufficient information for us to identify and locate the content.
We will process qualifying requests as required by applicable law.
We may immediately remove content or suspend accounts when we reasonably believe urgent action is appropriate.

We may remove or disable access to material in response to appropriate infringement notices.

Where applicable, users may submit legally valid counter-notifications concerning removed content.

Transactions between you and third parties are between you and those third parties.
10. Advertising and Sponsored Content
The Service may contain advertisements, sponsorships, promoted posts, business listings, offers, or other commercial content.
Sponsored or paid content may be identified using labels such as “Sponsored,” “Ad,” “Promoted,” or similar terminology.
Local businesses or sponsors do not control our editorial, community, or moderation decisions merely because they advertise with us.
11. Subscriptions and Paid Features
We may offer paid subscriptions or premium functionality, including an advertising-free experience.
If you purchase through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another application marketplace, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refund procedures may additionally be governed by that platform.
Unless otherwise disclosed when you purchase:
- subscriptions renew automatically until canceled;
- you will be charged the price shown at purchase;
- you may cancel through the platform through which you subscribed; and

12. Sweepstakes, Giveaways, and Promotions
South East Idaho may conduct sweepstakes, contests, drawings, giveaways, and other promotions (“Promotions”).
Each Promotion may be subject to separate Official Rules specifying:

- entry methods;
- maximum entries;
- prizes;
- approximate retail value;
- winner selection;
- odds;
- verification requirements;
- winner notification;
- tax obligations; and
- other terms.
If these Terms conflict with applicable Official Rules, the Official Rules govern that Promotion.
No Purchase Necessary
Purchasing a South East Idaho subscription or other paid feature will not increase the odds of winning a sweepstakes.
Promotions may permit participants to earn multiple entries through qualifying free activities as specifically described in the Official Rules.
Creating fraudulent accounts, automating entries, falsifying eligibility, manipulating qualifying activity, colluding to generate entries, or otherwise circumventing Promotion rules may result in disqualification, forfeiture of a prize, account suspension, or account termination.
Potential winners may be required to verify:
- identity;
- age;
- Southeast Idaho residency or other geographic eligibility;
- compliance with the applicable Official Rules; and
- other legally required information.
Winners are responsible for applicable taxes unless the law requires otherwise.

Certain features may use approximate or precise device location, subject to your permissions, to provide locally relevant content, offers, businesses, events, Promotion functionality, or other location-based features.
You control device-level location permission through your device’s operating-system settings.
Location information may be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable.
Do not rely on South East Idaho for emergency navigation, emergency services, personal safety, or other safety-critical purposes.

17. Account Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time.
Where account functionality is provided, you may request or initiate account deletion through the Service.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts when we reasonably believe:
- these Terms have been violated;
- an account creates a security or safety risk;
- an account is fraudulent;
- conduct exposes users or South East Idaho to legal liability;
- a user repeatedly infringes intellectual property rights; or
- restriction is reasonably necessary to protect the Service or community.
Urgent action may be taken without advance notice.
Sections that should logically survive termination, including intellectual-property provisions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute-resolution provisions, will survive.
18. Ownership of South East Idaho
Except for User Content and third-party materials, South East Idaho App LLC and its licensors own all rights in the Service, including its software, source code, interfaces, databases, graphics, designs, trademarks, logos, branding, algorithms, and other proprietary materials.

21. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver
Agreement to Arbitrate
Except for disputes expressly excluded below, you and South East Idaho App LLC agree that disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by individual binding arbitration rather than litigation in court.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration provision.
Informal Dispute Resolution
Before commencing arbitration, the party asserting a dispute must send written notice describing the claim and requested relief.
Notices to South East Idaho should be sent to support@southeastidaho.app.
The parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
Arbitration
If the dispute remains unresolved, either party may commence individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules.
The arbitration may occur remotely unless an in-person hearing is reasonably necessary.
South East Idaho will pay arbitration fees to the extent required by applicable law and applicable arbitration rules.
Exceptions
Either party may:
- bring an eligible individual claim in small claims court; or
- seek temporary or emergency injunctive relief when reasonably necessary to prevent unauthorized system access, security breaches, intellectual-property infringement, or immediate irreparable harm.
Nothing in this section eliminates rights or remedies that applicable law makes non-waivable.
Class Action Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND SOUTH EAST IDAHO APP LLC AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY ASSERT CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.
NEITHER PARTY MAY PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, EXCEPT WHERE APPLICABLE LAW CREATES A NON-WAIVABLE RIGHT TO DO SO.
Jury Trial Waiver
To the extent a dispute is permitted to proceed in court, each party waives trial by jury to the extent permitted by law.
30-Day Arbitration Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@southeastidaho.app within 30 days after first accepting these Terms.
Your request must include:
- your name;
- the email address associated with your South East Idaho account; and
- a clear statement that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement.
Opting out of arbitration will not prevent you from using the Service.
22. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless South East Idaho App LLC and its members, employees, contractors, officers, agents, and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from:
- your User Content;
- your material violation of these Terms;
- your infringement of another person’s rights; or
- your unlawful use of the Service.
You are not required to indemnify South East Idaho for claims resulting from South East Idaho’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or unlawful conduct.
23. Governing Law
Except where federal law or Section 21 applies, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute that is properly permitted to proceed in court will be heard in an Idaho state or federal court having proper jurisdiction, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
24. Changes to the Service
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service.
We do not guarantee that any particular free feature will remain available permanently.
Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice before materially discontinuing functionality for which users have prepaid.
25. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms.
If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide reasonable notice through the Service, email, or another appropriate mechanism.
The updated Terms will identify their effective date.
Continued use of the Service after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
26. General Provisions
If part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
Failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.
You may not assign these Terms without our consent.
South East Idaho App LLC may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of all or part of its business or assets.
These Terms, our Privacy Policy, applicable Promotion Official Rules, and any feature-specific supplemental terms constitute the agreement between you and South East Idaho concerning the Service.
