Hunohu Terms of Use
Effective Date: September 15, 2026
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. THEY INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 17 THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and ETC Software, LLC (“ETC Software,” “Hunohu,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Hunohu website (hunohu.com), the Hunohu mobile application, and related features (together, the “Service”). By creating an account, downloading the app, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and that organization.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or otherwise use the Service. The Service is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, children, and children may not create accounts or profiles. As explained in our Privacy Policy, an adult account holder may reference or post limited information about a minor (such as a child’s name and photo) solely in the context of an appropriate Circle (for example, a circle of parents whose children attend the same class); this does not make the Service directed to children or permit a minor to use the Service directly.
By using the Service, you represent that you meet these eligibility requirements and are not barred from using the Service under applicable law.
3. The Service
Hunohu helps people organize, manage, and communicate with people they know in specific, often temporary contexts, called “Circles.” The Service, its features, and its availability may change, and we may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time.
4. Your Account
To use most features of the Service, you must create an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at the email address in Section 20 if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
5. User Content
“User Content” means any text, photos, names, messages, or other content that you or another user submits, posts, or shares through the Service, including within a Circle.
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant ETC Software a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, and improve the Service (for example, displaying your profile and posts to other members of your Circles). This license ends when you delete the applicable content or your account, except (a) to the extent it was shared with other users who have retained it, and (b) as needed to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes.
You are solely responsible for your User Content and for having any rights and consents needed to post it, including consents required to post information or images of another person (see our Privacy Policy regarding content about children in a Circle context).
6. Prohibited Conduct and Content
You agree not to use the Service to post, send, or engage in any of the following:
- Content that is unlawful, defamatory, threatening, harassing, abusive, or that constitutes bullying or hate speech directed at any individual or group;
- Sexually explicit content, or any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors, in any form;
- Content that promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activity;
- Impersonating another person, or misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or entity;
- Spam, unauthorized advertising, or solicitation;
- Content that infringes another person’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
- Uploading another person’s personal information without appropriate consent or legal authority;
- Attempting to access another user’s account, interfere with the Service, or introduce malware or other harmful code; and
- Any other conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to other users, the Service, or third parties.
We do not pre-screen all User Content, but we may review, remove, or restrict access to any User Content, and suspend or terminate accounts, at our discretion and without notice, including in response to a report under Section 7.
7. Reporting, Blocking, and Moderation
If you encounter content or behavior that violates these Terms, you can report it directly within the Service using the in-app “Report” or “Flag” feature available on user profiles, posts, and messages. You can also block another user at any time using the in-app blocking feature; once blocked, that user cannot contact you or view your content within the Service.
We review reports of prohibited content or conduct and take action we consider appropriate, which may include removing content, issuing a warning, or suspending or permanently terminating a user’s account. We aim to review reports promptly, though response times may vary. For urgent safety concerns, you can also reach us directly at the email address in Section 20.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and software (but excluding User Content), is owned by ETC Software or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you to use the Service, we reserve all right, title, and interest in the Service.
9. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)
If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to the email address in Section 20 that includes: (a) a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; (b) a description and location (e.g., URL or in-app location) of the allegedly infringing material; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
10. Third-Party Services
The Service may contain links to, or integrate with, third-party websites, platforms, or services that we do not control (for example, the advertising and analytics partners described in our Privacy Policy). We are not responsible for the content or practices of any third-party service.
11. Apple App Store Terms
If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply and, to the extent of any conflict with the rest of these Terms, govern your use of the app on Apple devices:
(a) This agreement is between you and ETC Software, LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). ETC Software, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
(b) The license granted to you for the app is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms of Service, except that the app may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
(c) ETC Software, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the app. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the app.
(d) In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app to you, if any; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are ETC Software’s sole responsibility.
(e) ETC Software, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession and/or use of the app, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
(f) In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of the app infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, ETC Software, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
(g) You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
(h) You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app (for example, your wireless data service agreement must not be violated by your use of the app).
(i) Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
(j) ETC Software’s contact information for any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the app is set out in Section 20 below.
12. Google Play Terms
If you downloaded the app from Google Play, your use of the app is also subject to Google Play’s applicable terms of service. As between you and Google, this agreement is between you and ETC Software, LLC, and Google is not a party to it and bears no responsibility for the app or these Terms, except that Google may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service and deactivate or delete your account at any time as described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, and 17) will survive.
14. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. WE DO NOT ENDORSE AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY USER CONTENT OR FOR THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER, ON OR OFF THE SERVICE.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ETC SOFTWARE AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ETC Software and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
17. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. YOU AND ETC SOFTWARE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this arbitration provision is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or dispute, the parties agree that the exclusive venue for that claim or dispute will be the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Effective Date” above and, where required by law, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
19. General
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ETC Software regarding the Service.
