hookmeapp.com at this. The enforceable version requires the checkbox described
in § 1 — without it, this is browsewrap and likely unenforceable in California.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a contract between you and HookMeApp, Inc. ("HookMeApp," "we," "us"), a Delaware corporation. They govern your use of hookmeapp.com and its waitlist (the "Site").
1. How you accept these Terms
These Terms are clickwrap. On the waitlist form you must check the box labeled "I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" before you can submit. By checking that box and submitting, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not check the box and do not use the Site. We record the time you accepted and the Terms version alongside your waitlist entry. Browsing without submitting does not create a contract, but the acceptable-use and IP rules in §§ 5–6 still apply to visitors.
2. Who may use the Site
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to join the waitlist. The Site is not directed to children under 16. You represent that the information you submit is your own and is accurate. Regardless of the 18+ contract age, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.
3. What the Site is today
HookMeApp is pre-launch. Today the Site offers only a waitlist for our Chicago launch. It does not offer booking, payments, escrow, guarantees, reviews, or pro listings. Marketing copy describing future features (including "payment protection" and marketplace mechanics) describes plans that may change. Nothing on the Site is an offer to provide those features on a specific date or on specific terms.
4. Waitlist signups
- Submitting the form is a request to be notified — not a promise that we will launch, that your neighborhood will open, or that you will receive access.
- One signup per person. Provide accurate information.
- Joining the waitlist is free. We will not charge you for it.
- We may change, pause, or discontinue the waitlist, or remove/decline signups, at any time for any reason (for example, spam, abuse, or duplicate entries). We may also export and clear the list around launch.
- The "founding-neighbor badge" mentioned on the Site is a planned, non-monetary recognition with no cash value and no guarantee of delivery.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Submit false information or another person's personal information without permission.
- Attempt to disrupt, scrape at scale, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or our Cloudflare infrastructure.
- Bypass or interfere with the Turnstile bot-protection check or the per-IP rate limit.
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or to harass, impersonate, or harm others.
- Reverse-engineer the waitlist endpoint to evade throttling or deduplication.
6. Intellectual property
The HookMeApp name, logos, and Site content are owned by HookMeApp, Inc. and protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not copy, reproduce, or reuse them without our written permission, except that you may link to the Site. If you believe content on the Site infringes your rights, contact us at admin@hookmeapp.com with the details required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and we will act promptly.
7. Third-party services
We use Cloudflare, Inc. for bot protection (Turnstile) and data storage (KV). Their services are governed by their own terms and privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy). When booking and payments launch, they will be provided by third-party payment processors under separate terms presented at that time.
8. Disclaimers
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any planned feature will launch. Nothing in this section is intended to disclaim warranties that cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, HookMeApp, Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Site. Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to use the Site (which is $0 for the waitlist) or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or implied warranties, so these limitations may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or where prohibited by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HookMeApp, Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the law of your state of residence requires otherwise and cannot be waived by contract. You agree to resolve disputes in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, unless that forum would be unenforceable for a consumer claim under applicable law, in which case venue will be where otherwise required. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at admin@hookmeapp.com so we can try to resolve it informally for at least 30 days.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post the updated version at /terms/, revise
the version and effective date above, and, for material changes affecting waitlist data,
notify you by email to the address you provided where required by law. Your continued use
of the Site after the effective date of the updated Terms means you accept them. If you do
not accept the updated Terms, do not use the Site.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Site at any time. Sections 6 and 8–16 survive termination.
14. Severability; waiver; assignment
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
15. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and HookMeApp regarding the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. Additional terms will govern the marketplace when it launches.
