Terms of Use

Updated as of April 5, 2025

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you (collectively, “you,” “your,” or “User(s)”) and Lavash Social LLC (collectively, “Lavash,” “us,” “we,” “Company,” or “our”) governing your use of the services on https://www.lavashapp.com ( “Website”), the Lavash Love mobile application (“App”), and any other services or platforms that Lavash may offer (collectively, the “Platform”).

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

a. By accessing the Platform, accessing or using any information, Platform features, or resources available or enabled via the Platform, clicking on a button or taking similar action to signify your affirmative acceptance of this Agreement, or completing the Lavash Love account registration process, you hereby represent that:

i. You have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and any future amendments and additions to this Agreement as published from time to time or through the Platform

ii. You are of legal age in the jurisdiction in which you reside to form a binding contract with Lavash

iii. You have the authority to enter into this Agreement personally and, if applicable, on behalf of any company, organization, or other legal entity you have named as the user during the Lavash Love account registration process and to bind that company, organization or entity to this Agreement.

b. Except as otherwise provided herein, if you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, you may not access or use the Platform.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATFORM

a. The term "you" and “User” as used in this Agreement will apply to all Lavash Love users, persons that visit the Website or App, and individuals who otherwise access and/or use the Platform.

b. Lavash merely makes the Platform available to enable Users to find and interact directly with each other. Lavash does not control the conduct of individual Users. Each User is solely responsible for their interactions with other Users of the Platform. Sex offender screenings and other tools do not guarantee your safety, and are not a substitute for following our safety guidelines, using your best judgment, and taking other sensible safety precautions when communicating with or meeting new people. Communications received through the Platform, including automatic notifications sent by Lavash, may result from Users engaging with the Platform for improper purposes, including fraud, abuse, harassment, or other such improper behavior. At all times, Users are responsible for evaluating and determining the suitability of the platform, its services, content, features, and other users for their personal use, and Lavash makes no representations or warranties regarding their accuracy, reliability, safety, or fitness for a particular purpose."

c. You acknowledge and understand that we do not routinely screen Users, inquire into the background of Users, attempt to verify information provided by Users, or conduct criminal screenings of Users. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to conduct such inquiries or screenings (including the search of any sex offender registries). You further acknowledge that we are under no obligation to conduct any such investigations. We do not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees as to the conduct of Users, information provided by Users, or Users’ compatibility with you. You acknowledge that not all Users are available for matching and that we may create test profiles or accounts to monitor the operation of the Platform. You agree to take all necessary precautions when meeting other Users, especially if you decide to meet in person. Lavash is not responsible for any User’s withdrawal from the Platform. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides, in relevant part: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

d. Although we do not routinely conduct criminal screenings of Users, you agree that we have the right to do so at our sole discretion, and you consent to such screening and agree to provide to us complete, accurate, and current information confirming your eligibility for use of the Platform. You understand and agree that if Lavash believes, in its sole discretion, that you have violated the terms of this Agreement, misused the Platform, or behaved in a way that could be regarded as inappropriate, unlawful, illegal, or unsafe, Lavash may—among other things—investigate, take legal action against you, terminate your Account (as defined herein) and/or cancel any subscription or membership you may have via the Platform.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that in the event of a report regarding user conduct, we may review messages, interactions, and other content shared through our platform to assess potential violations of our Terms of Use or Community Guidelines. Users expressly consent to such reviews as part of our moderation and enforcement practices. However, we do not guarantee monitoring of all content and disclaim liability for user interactions on the platform. Any action taken following a report is at our sole discretion.

Users may report inappropriate conduct through our in-app reporting system. While we strive to review reports in a timely manner, We do not guarantee a specific response timeframe. Reports will be reviewed at our discretion, and we reserve the right to address or decline reports as deemed appropriate. In cases involving potential safety concerns or illegal activity, we encourage users to contact local law enforcement in addition to reporting through the platform.

We are not obligated to take any particular action in response to user reports and retain full discretion regarding content moderation, account suspension, and other enforcement measures. Users acknowledge that our failure to act on a report does not constitute a waiver of our rights or policies.

4. CONTENT

While using the Platform, you may have access to: (a) content that you upload or provide while using the Platform (“Your Content”), (b) content that other Users upload or provide while using the Platform (“User Content”), and (c) content that Lavash provides on and through the Platform (“Lavash Content”). As used in this Agreement, “content” includes, without limitation, all text, images, video, audio, or other material on the Platform, including information on users’ profiles and in direct messages between users.

iii. The content included on your individual profile should be relevant to the intended purpose of the Platform. You may not display any personal contact or banking information, whether in relation to you or any other person (i.e., names, home or work addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, credit/debit card or other banking details, driver's license or passport details, social security information, health insurance information). If you choose to reveal any personal information about yourself to other users, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to exercise caution in disclosing any personal information online.

iv. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that Your Content will be visible to other Users and may be viewed by other Users and any person visiting or using the Platform or possessing a link to the Platform (e.g. individuals who receive a link to a User’s profile or shared content from other Users). You further acknowledge that other users may share Your Content with third parties and your use of the Platform constitutes your consent to any such sharing or distribution of Your Content, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

By uploading Your Content on the Platform, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and licenses to do so, and automatically grant Lavash a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, worldwide license to use Your Content in any way (including, without limitation, editing, copying, modifying, adapting, translating, reformatting, creating derivative works from, incorporating into other works, advertising, distributing, and otherwise making available to the general public such content, whether in whole or in part and in any format or medium currently known or developed in the future). We may assign or sub-license the above license to our affiliates and successors without any further approval by you. We do not have any obligation to store Your Content.

This license does not allow you to use the Platform on any device that you do not own or control. The terms of the license will govern any upgrades provided by Lavash that replace or supplement any aspect of the Platform, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

We reserve the right to stop offering or supporting the Platform (or any particular portion or part thereof) or restrict access to the Platform at any time, at which point your license to use or access the Platform, or any part thereof, will be automatically terminated.

To make these opportunities available, the Platform will determine your location using one or more reference points (e.g., GPS, Bluetooth, or software within your mobile device). If you have set your mobile device to disable GPS, Bluetooth, or other location-determining software, or otherwise do not authorize the Platform to access your location data, you will not be able to access such location-specific content, products, services, and materials. For more about how the Platform uses and retains your information, please read the Privacy Policy.

g. The Platform was developed by private financing and constitutes a “Commercial Item,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101. The Platform consists of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 and 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. government end-users acquire only those rights in the Platform that are expressly provided by this Agreement.

Any use, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of the Platform—in whole or in part—by the U.S. government will be governed solely by this Agreement, and is prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

h. The Platform, and its underlying information and technology, may not be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) any country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By downloading or using the Software and/or Documentation, you are agreeing to the foregoing and you represent and warrant that you (a) are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list, (b) are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, and (c) you agree to comply with all United States and foreign laws related to use of the Platform.

For detailed information about how Lavash and its affiliates collect, use, and share your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy. By using the Platform, you agree that we may use your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

8. FEES, PURCHASES, AND PAYMENT

a. General Payment Terms

i. Lavash may make available certain fee-based content, functionalities, features, and/or other e-commerce services on and/or in connection with the Platform or through third-party service providers (“Premium Services”). Prices for Premium Services will be specified on the Platform. Users agree to pay all amounts due in accordance with the payment terms in effect when purchasing Premium Services, including any applicable taxes and service, transaction, or processing fees. All transactions are in U.S. dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified at the point of payment.

ii. You acknowledge and agree that certain Premium Services may utilize third-party service providers. You further acknowledge and agree that Lavash does not operate, own, or control any third-party payment processors. Use of your payment information is governed by your agreements with, and the privacy policies of, the payment processors, not this Agreement. You agree to immediately notify payment processors of any change to billing details or other information for your payment card(s).

iii. Generally, all charges for purchases are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially-used Subscriptions (as defined herein), except if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for refunds. You agree that you will not make unjustified requests for a refund from Lavash, any payment processor, or any payment card provider in relation to any transaction through the Platform. If we determine that a User’s request for a refund or chargeback request was made in bad faith, we reserve the right to suspend or delete that User’s Account.

iv. We may suspend or terminate access to the Platform, including Premium Services, for any Account on which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Premium Services, a delinquent Account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any unpaid amount, including collection fees.

v. Lavash is not responsible and has no liability whatsoever for goods or services that Users may obtain through third-party service providers or other websites or web pages. Lavash encourages Users to take all necessary or appropriate measures before proceeding with any online transaction with any of these third parties.

b. Subscription Terms

i. Some Premium Services may be billed on a subscription basis (“Subscriptions”), and some Subscriptions may be automatically-renewing. IF YOU PURCHASE AN AUTOMATICALLY-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, UNLESS YOU CANCEL, AT LAVASH’S THEN-CURRENT PRICE FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTIONS. To avoid charges for a new Subscription period, you must cancel, as described below, before the end of the then-current Subscription period. Deleting your Account or deleting the App from your device does not cancel your Subscription. If you cancel your Subscription, you will continue to have access to your Subscription benefits until the end of your Subscription period, at which point it will expire.

ii. Users may cancel Subscriptions, as well as payments in connection with Subscriptions, at any time. Termination of a Subscription takes effect in the subsequent (not current) term for that Subscription. Once a Subscription has been canceled, the canceling User’s access to the Subscription and associated features will terminate at the end of the term or cycle during which the cancellation was initiated. Users will not be entitled to a refund for any Subscription-based offerings on the Platform.

iii. If you sign up for a free trial and do not cancel, your trial may convert into a paid Subscription, and your payment method will be charged at the then-current price for such Subscription. Once your free trial converts to a paid Subscription, your paid Subscription will continue to automatically renew at the end of each period, and your payment method will be charged, until you cancel. To avoid charges at the conclusion of a free trial period, you must cancel before the end of the then-current free trial period. Deleting your Account or deleting the App from your device does not cancel your free trial.

iv. For Users residing in New York:

Upon notice in writing and delivered to Lavash Social LLC, 8401 MAYLAND DR STE P RICHMOND, VA 23294, Users may place any Subscriptions on hold for up to one year.
How your information is used and how you may access your information is set forth in our Privacy Policy.

v. For Users residing in North Carolina: You may review the North Carolina Buyer’s Rights here.

vi. For Users residing in California:

You may cancel any Subscriptions, without penalty or obligation, at any time prior to midnight of the third business day following the date on which you subscribed. If you subscribed using an external service, you must cancel through your external service.
If you subscribed through your Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple/Google, not Lavash. You can request a refund from Apple through your Apple ID account on your phone or at https://getsupport.apple.com.
All other Users may request a refund by contacting Lavash’s customer service department at connect@lavashapp.com, or by mailing or delivering a signed and dated notice stating that you (the buyer) are canceling this Agreement, or words of similar effect. Please also include your name and the email address, phone number, or other unique identifier that you may have used to create your account. This notice should be sent to: Lavash Social LLC, ATTN: Cancellations, 8401 MAYLAND DR STE P RICHMOND, VA 23294.

9. EXTERNAL SERVICES AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENT

a. Third-Party Systems and App Stores

i. The following additional terms and conditions apply to you if you download the App from a third-party platform such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (“Third-Party Store”). To the extent that the other terms of this Agreement are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this section, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this section will apply, but solely with respect to the App and the Third-Party Store. You acknowledge and agree that:

This Agreement is concluded solely between you and Lavash, not with the providers of any Third-Party Store, and Lavash (not the Third-Party Store providers) is solely responsible for the App and the content thereof. To the extent that this Agreement provides usage rules for the App that are less restrictive or in conflict with the applicable terms of service of the Third-Party Store from which you obtain the App, the more restrictive or conflicting terms of the Third-Party Store will take precedence and will apply.
The Third-Party Store provider has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. Lavash is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. The Third-Party Store provider will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.
Lavash, not the Third-Party Store provider, is responsible for addressing any claims that you or any third party may have relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including, but not limited to: (1) product liability claims; (2) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (3) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; or (4) intellectual property infringement claims.
The Third-Party Store provider and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and, upon your acceptance of this Agreement, the Third-Party Store provider from whom you obtained the App will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

ii. In the event of a conflict between a Third-Party Store’s or mobile carrier’s applicable terms and conditions and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Third-Party Store or mobile carrier will govern and control. We are not responsible, and have no liability whatsoever, for third-party goods or services you obtain through a Third-Party Store or mobile carrier. We encourage you to conduct whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online transaction with any of these third parties.

b. Third-Party Links and Services

i. If you use a service, feature, or functionality that is operated by a third party and made available through the Platform (including services we jointly offer with the third party), each party’s terms will govern the respective party’s relationship with you. Lavash is not responsible or liable for a third party’s terms or actions taken under the third party’s terms.

ii. Certain features of the Platform may require access to and use of your device’s map features or functionality, such as Google Maps or other External Services. Any use of those features will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to such External Services. By using the Platform, you may also be required to agree to the end-user terms for any such third-party services. It is your sole responsibility to review the terms and conditions that apply to the third-party services before using those services in conjunction with the Platform. This Agreement does not apply to any activities conducted via third-party services.

iii. The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, advertisers, products, services, or other offerings that are not owned or controlled by Lavash. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party sites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access a third-party website from the Platform or use a third-party service, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that this Agreement and the Lavash Love Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such third-party sites or services. You expressly relieve Lavash from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website, service, or content.

iv. Additionally, your dealings with or participation in promotions of advertisers found on the Platform, including payment and delivery of goods, and any other terms (such as warranties) are solely between you and such advertisers. You agree that we will not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort relating to your dealings with such advertisers.

v. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any other similar applicable state statute), which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

vi. Some links to third-party sites may be monetized by third-party services. Lavash may receive compensation for its role in the purchasing process by referring prospective purchasers to products on third-party sites. This compensation does not affect the final purchase price of such products. This referral disclosure is provided in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR § 255.5.

c. External Service Purchases

i. When making a purchase on the Platform, you may have the option to pay through an external service and your external service account will be charged for the purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase and the general terms applicable to your external service account. Some external services may charge you sales tax, depending on where you live, which may change from time to time.

ii. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your external service account, we may terminate your Account immediately, at our sole discretion. We will retain all funds charged to your external service account until you cancel your subscription through your external service account. Certain Users may be entitled to request a refund.

10. ACCOUNT TERMINATION

a. You can delete your Account at any time by logging into your Account on the Platform and following the instructions to terminate your Account. However, you will need to cancel or manage any external service purchases through your external service account (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play) to avoid additional billing.

b. We reserve the right to investigate and, if appropriate, suspend or terminate your account without a refund if you have violated this Agreement, misused the Platform, or behaved in a way that we deem inappropriate or unlawful, on or off the Platform. We reserve the right to make use of any personal, technological, legal, or other means available to enforce this Agreement, at any time without liability and without the obligation to give you prior notice, including, but not limited to, preventing you from accessing the Platform.

c. If your Account is terminated by you or by Lavash for any reason, the terms of this Agreement continue and remain enforceable between you and Lavash, and you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases made. Your information will be maintained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

ii. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, you and Lavash may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election will be binding on you and Lavash, subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you or Lavash may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

iii. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
