By using deed, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully. deed is operated by Deed App LLC, a California limited liability company. These terms govern your use of the deed mobile application and website at deedapp.app.
By creating an account or using deed, you agree to be bound by these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use deed — by using the app, you represent that you meet this requirement. You must not share your account credentials or allow others to access your account. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that we reasonably believe are being accessed by unauthorized parties.
You retain ownership of content you create. By posting, you grant deed and Deed App LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, transferable license to use, display, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the app, including but not limited to: displaying content to other users within the app and on deedapp.app; generating shareable images of your deeds; producing aggregate or anonymized statistics, impact reports, and analytics; and promoting the app through marketing materials. This license survives account deletion for content that has been aggregated or anonymized.
AI training: We do not use your content to train or fine-tune AI or machine learning models. AI is used solely for content verification at the time of submission (see Section 4). Only the text of your deed is sent to the AI service — your photos, profile data, and other personal information are never included.
You are solely responsible for content you post. You must not post:
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these terms or that we determine is harmful to the community, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
deed is built on trust. You agree to post only genuine acts of kindness or community service that you personally performed or witnessed. Fabricating, exaggerating, or misrepresenting deeds to gain scores or recognition is a violation of these terms and may result in account termination.
All deeds are subject to automated content review by an AI system that evaluates whether the posted deed appears genuine. Deeds that are flagged may be reviewed by community members (see Section 5) or by deed staff. AI review is automated and may not be perfect — you may contact us at support@deedapp.app to dispute a rejection.
Community members with a sufficient deed score may participate in peer review of flagged content. If you participate in peer review, you agree to vote honestly and in good faith based on the deed content alone. Abuse of the peer review system — including coordinated voting, voting in exchange for consideration, or voting to target specific users — is a violation of these terms and may result in account suspension.
deed maintains a scoring system that reflects your community activity, engagement, and consistency. Scores, tiers, streaks, and leaderboard rankings are calculated automatically and are visible to other users. Scores have no cash value, are not redeemable for money or goods, and may be adjusted, recalculated, or reset at our discretion. We reserve the right to modify the scoring system at any time without liability.
Not a consumer report: Deed scores are informal community engagement indicators. They are not intended to be, and should not be used as, a factor in determining eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, or any other purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or similar laws. deed is not a Consumer Reporting Agency and does not vouch for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any score as a measure of a person's character or trustworthiness.
deed supports community groups and events organized by users. Group and event organizers are solely responsible for managing their communities in accordance with these terms. deed is not responsible for the conduct of group or event organizers or participants, including any real-world interactions, meetings, or activities that arise from use of the app. We reserve the right to remove groups or events that violate these terms.
Assumption of risk: By participating in any in-person event, meetup, or activity discovered through or organized via deed, you acknowledge and agree that deed is not the organizer, host, insurer, or supervisor of such activity. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation, including but not limited to personal injury, property damage, or any other harm. You agree that deed and Deed App LLC shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims arising from your participation in in-person activities.
If you grant notification permission, deed may send you push notifications related to your activity and community interactions. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings. We do not use push notifications for advertising purposes.
You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting support@deedapp.app. We will process account deletion requests within 45 days. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms, abuse of the community, or for any other reason at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
deed is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee the accuracy of scores, rankings, peer review outcomes, or any user-generated content. We are not responsible for the actions or content of other users. Use of deed is at your own risk.
The order in which content appears in your feed, leaderboards, and other surfaces is determined by automated systems that may consider factors such as recency, location, engagement, challenge participation, and community relevance. deed does not endorse, verify the truthfulness of, or assume responsibility for any content by virtue of its position or prominence in the app.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, deed and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the app, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of scores or streaks, reliance on user-generated content, or harm arising from interactions with other users arranged through the app. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of deed shall not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (if any).
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless deed and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the app, your content, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of another person.
We may update these terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes through the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
deed respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content on deed infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to our designated agent with the following information:
Send DMCA notices to: support@deedapp.app
Counter-notification: If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification to the same address with: (1) identification of the removed material and its prior location, (2) a statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, (3) your name, address, and phone number, and (4) a statement consenting to jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or Northern District of California if outside the U.S.) and that you will accept service of process from the complainant. We will restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.
Repeat infringers: deed will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We determine repeat infringer status at our sole discretion, taking into account the number and severity of notices received.
In compliance with the TAKE IT DOWN Act (S.146, effective May 2026), deed prohibits the posting of nonconsensual intimate images, including AI-generated deepfakes. If an intimate image of you has been posted on deed without your consent, you may submit a removal request to support@deedapp.app with the following information:
We will remove the reported content and any known identical copies within 48 hours of receiving a valid request. We will notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed, unless doing so would compromise your safety. Repeated violations will result in immediate account termination.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Agreement to arbitrate: You and deed agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, the app, or your use of deed (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring individual claims in small claims court if they qualify.
Class action waiver: YOU AND DEED AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Arbitration rules: Arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, if the claim exceeds $250,000, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Alameda County, California, or, at your election, may be conducted by phone or video conference. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Fees: If you initiate arbitration, deed will reimburse your JAMS filing fee for claims under $10,000. For claims over $10,000, filing fees will be split as provided by JAMS rules. Each party bears its own attorney's fees unless the arbitrator awards them to the prevailing party.
Claims deadline: Any claim or dispute arising under these terms must be filed within one year after the claim arose. Claims filed after this period are permanently barred.
Mass arbitration: If 15 or more claimants submit similar arbitration demands against deed represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the claims will be resolved in batches of no more than 20 cases at a time. A single arbitrator will be appointed per batch. No new batch will commence until the prior batch is resolved. Filing fees for batched claims will be split as provided by JAMS rules. This provision does not prevent any individual from filing a claim — it governs the procedural handling of similar concurrent claims.
Opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to support@deedapp.app within 30 days of first accepting these terms. Your notice must include your name, email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, the Governing Law provision below will apply.
Severability: If the class action waiver above is found to be unenforceable, then this entire arbitration section will be void. If any other provision of this section is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the rest of this section will remain in effect.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. For any disputes not subject to arbitration (including if you opt out of arbitration), you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Alameda County, California.
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
