Terms of Service

01Eligibility and Membership

The App is intended for adults aged 18 and older. The Men’s Club is a club for men and the Women’s Club is a club for women; you choose the Club you join before you sign in. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age; that you meet the membership rules of the Club you join; that you have the legal authority to enter into these Terms; and that you are not prohibited from using the App under the laws of the United States or of any other applicable jurisdiction.

You sign in with Apple (or, in the Men’s Club on Android and the web, with Google or another sign-in method we offer). You may hold at most one account in each Club. Blum & Co. reserves the right to deny, suspend, or revoke any membership at its sole discretion, at any time, for any lawful reason, with or without notice.

You agree to provide accurate, truthful, and complete information during registration and onboarding, including your real name and date of birth, and a profile photo that is you and shows your face. Providing false, altered, or fraudulent information, or attempting to get around age or identity checks, is grounds for immediate and permanent removal.

You are responsible for keeping your Apple, Google, and device accounts secure and for all activity under your account. We may remove, reclaim, or change a name if we determine, in our sole discretion, that it is inappropriate, obscene, impersonating someone, or otherwise objectionable.

02Two Separate Clubs

Each Club has its own members, its own feed (The Club), its own rooms, circles and stories, its own member numbers, and its own server. Content you share in your Club is shown only to members of your Club, apart from private messages you choose to send across the Clubs under section 03. An account in one Club does not give access to the other Club. Each Club may have its own rules (such as the Men’s Club House Rules), which form part of these Terms.

If you are an Old Boyz Club member, your Old Boyz Club account, membership, member number, content and chats continue in the Men’s Club under these Terms.

03Private Messages Across the Clubs (Keys)

A member may open a private one-to-one chat with one member of the other Club by private invite only (a “key”). A key is created by one member, handed over personally (in person or by text), and works only once the other member accepts it. There is no directory or search across the Clubs. Either member can take a key back at any time, which closes the chat for both. We may limit how many keys a member can hold or accept.

Keys are for people you already know. Using keys to contact strangers, to solicit, to harass, or for dating or commercial purposes is a breach of these Terms. You can block or report the other person from the chat. Reports about key chats are reviewed by our Keys desk as described in our Privacy Policy. We may switch keys off for any member or for everyone.

04Code of Conduct

Membership is a privilege, not a right. Members are expected to conduct themselves with integrity, respect, and maturity at all times, both within the App and at any events associated with either Club.

The following behaviors are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of your membership without refund:

• Harassment, bullying, hate speech, unwanted advances, or any form of targeted aggression toward another member
• Unsolicited commercial solicitation, spam, or aggressive business pitching
• Impersonating another member, public figure, or any other individual
• Sharing, distributing, or reproducing any private content, conversations, or member information outside of the App
• Any content that sexualizes minors, or any attempt to contact a minor (see our Child Safety Standards)
• Attempting to get around, hack, or manipulate any feature, security measure, or functionality of the App, including the separation between the Clubs
• Planning or engaging in any illegal, fraudulent, or manipulative activity
• Any conduct that Blum & Co. determines, at its sole discretion, to be harmful to either Club or inconsistent with its values

Blum & Co. is not obligated to monitor all content or conduct but reserves the right to investigate and act on any reported or observed violation of these Terms.

Redacted posts (Men’s Club). Redacted posts and replies hide your name and chapter from other members, but they remain subject to these Terms. We keep a private record of who wrote Redacted content so that you can manage your own posts and so that we can enforce these Terms and meet legal obligations.

05Membership Fees and Billing

Access to each Club requires a paid membership subscription for that Club. Membership is a yearly subscription, currently $20.00 per year in the United States; prices in other countries are shown in the App. Memberships do not include a free trial; your payment method is charged upon purchase. Current pricing is displayed in the App, in the store listing, and at checkout. We may change pricing at any time. Price changes apply only to new memberships purchased after the change; members already subscribed keep their rate for as long as their subscription stays active and uninterrupted. A membership in one Club does not include the other Club.

Complimentary membership. From time to time we may give a member a period of membership at no charge, for example with a personal invitation. A complimentary period is not a free trial of a subscription: nothing is charged when it starts or ends, and it does not turn into a paid subscription by itself. When it ends, you need a paid membership to keep using the App. If you have never had a paid membership and do not start one, your place is held for 7 days after the complimentary period ends. After those 7 days we may remove the account, including its profile, posts, messages and other content, and its member number may be given to a new member. We aim to contact you before an account is removed. A removed account cannot be restored, and you are welcome to join again as a new member.

How you are billed depends on where you subscribe:

• iPhone and iPad: billed through Apple’s In-App Purchase system, under Apple’s terms and policies.
• Android (Men’s Club): billed through Google Play, under Google’s terms and policies.
• Website (Men’s Club): billed by us through our payment partners (Stripe, with subscription management by RevenueCat). We never see or store your full card number. Applicable sales tax may be added at checkout.

Memberships renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless cancelled before the renewal date (for Apple and Google purchases, at least 24 hours before). You can cancel at any time: on iPhone or iPad in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions; on Android in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions; on the website in Settings > Membership. Cancelling stops future renewals; your membership continues until the end of the period you already paid for. Cancel on the same platform where you subscribed. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription.

Refunds. Purchases made through Apple or Google are refunded only by Apple or Google under their policies. Purchases made on our website are non-refundable except where required by law. Memberships terminated for violating these Terms or a Club’s rules are not refunded.

06Intellectual Property Rights

Our intellectual property

We own or license all intellectual property rights in the Services, including source code, databases, functionality, software, designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics (the “Content”), and the trademarks, service marks, logos and crest in them, including HOUSE BY BLUM & CO. and OLD BOYZ CLUB (the “Marks”). The Content and Marks are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws, and are provided “AS IS” for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Your use of our Services

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use. No part of the Services, Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our prior written permission. Requests: team@oldboyzclub.com. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Your contributions

You keep ownership of the original content you post, send or upload in the App. By posting content, you grant Blum & Co., LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, display, and deliver that content to the people you share it with in the App, solely to operate the Services. You represent and warrant that your content does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any third party, and you are solely responsible for it. We may remove any content that violates these Terms or that we determine, at our sole discretion, to be harmful or inappropriate.

07Third-Party Websites and Content

The Services may contain links to other websites and content from third parties (such as link previews, posts from X or videos from YouTube). We do not check them and are not responsible for them, including their content, accuracy, privacy practices or policies. Including or linking to them does not mean we approve or endorse them. If you leave the Services to use them, you do so at your own risk, and these Terms no longer govern.

08Privacy and Confidentiality

Each Club is a private community. Members are expected to treat everything shared within the App, including posts, stories, messages, key chats and personal disclosures by other members, with discretion and confidentiality. Sharing, screenshotting, recording, or reproducing any content or communication from within the App outside of the App without the consent of the people involved is prohibited and is a material breach of these Terms.

09Privacy Policy

Please review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. The Services are hosted in Canada and the United States. If you use the Services from another region, your data is transferred to and processed in those countries.

10In-Person Events and the House Store

A Club may organize or list in-person events, meetups and gatherings (each an “Event”). Attendance is voluntary and at your own risk. Blum & Co. is not responsible for any injury, loss, damage, or harm in connection with your attendance at, travel to and from, or participation in any Event. Conduct rules apply at Events, and violations may lead to removal from the Event and from the Club. Some Events are hosted by individual members rather than by the Company; the Company reviews member-hosted Events before they are listed but does not organize, supervise or control them, and the member host is not an agent or employee of the Company.

The House Store (Men’s Club) sells physical goods. Prices, availability, shipping and returns are shown at checkout.

11Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the App at any time, for any lawful reason, at our sole discretion, with or without notice, including for violations of these Terms or a Club’s rules or conduct harmful to either Club or the Company. Termination in one Club may also lead to termination in the other Club and of your keys. Upon termination, your right to access the App ceases immediately. No refund of prepaid or unused fees is issued for termination for cause. A member removed for violating these Terms or a Club’s rules may not use another account to rejoin. You may cancel your membership or delete your account at any time (see sections 05 and 20).

12Modifications and Interruptions

We may change, modify, suspend, or remove any part of the Services at any time without notice, and we cannot guarantee the Services will always be available. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform maintenance, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services, or for any loss or inconvenience caused by your inability to use them. Nothing in these Terms obliges us to maintain or support the Services or to supply corrections or updates.

13Limitation of Liability

Blum & Co., LLC provides the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to reliability, availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the Services will be accurate, error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components, or that they will meet your needs. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services is to stop using them and end your membership. On the end of your membership, content and data you provided may be deleted.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Blum & Co., LLC and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Services, any interactions with any other member or third party (in either Club or through a key chat), any Event, or any content in the Services. In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the lesser of (i) the membership fees you actually paid us in the twelve months before the claim or (ii) US$100.00.

14Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Blum & Co., LLC and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Services, your interactions with other members or third parties, any Event, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another person.

15Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Indiana, except where the law of your country of residence gives you a right to bring a claim where you live.

16User Data

We keep certain data you send to the Services to operate them, and data about your use of the Services. Although we make routine backups, you are responsible for all data you send. We are not liable for any loss or corruption of such data, to the extent permitted by law.

17Electronic Communications

Using the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms are electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, in the App, by email and on the Services, and agree that they satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. You agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders and records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies and records of transactions made through the Services.

18Apple

If you use the App on an Apple device: these Terms are between you and Blum & Co., LLC, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any claims relating to the App (including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, or intellectual property claims). If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

19California Users and Residents

If a complaint is not satisfactorily resolved, you can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd, Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834 or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.

20Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account at any time in the App under Settings > Delete account, on the Men’s Club website, by following the steps at housebyblum.com/support, or by emailing team@oldboyzclub.com. Each Club account is deleted separately. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile and the content and messages you sent, as described in our Privacy Policy, and cannot be undone. It does not cancel a paid subscription and does not entitle you to a refund. Some records may be kept as described in the Privacy Policy.
