Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

The Platform is operated by KaneFilous Limited ("we", "us", "our", "KF").

These Terms apply to our website at kf.social (where you can book in your browser) and our mobile application available on the Apple App Store .

We are opening across the UK, Ireland, Europe and the US. Some features may not yet be available in every region.

You can contact us anytime at support@kf.social.

• Privacy questions: privacy@kf.social
• Safety and abuse reports: abuse@kf.social
• Security issues: security@kf.social

2. How KF.Social Works

KF.Social brings small groups of people together over dinner. Each week we seat 6 to 8 people near you at a local Restaurant, matched by age and shared interests. The idea is simple: a relaxed meal with new people, in a public place, with no pressure.

2.1 The Dinners

• We choose the Restaurant and the table, and tell you when and where to turn up.
• You join a group of strangers matched to you by age and interests.
• The venue is revealed to you ahead of the Dinner once your group is confirmed.
• You attend, meet people, and (we hope) make some new friends.

2.2 The Social Side

Alongside the Dinners, the Platform has social features so your group can stay in touch and you can share your experience:

• Profiles - a profile that stays private until you have actually met people at a Dinner.
• Posts - you can share posts set to public, friends, or private.
• Group chats - each table gets a group chat for organising and keeping in touch.
• Points and XP - you earn points and XP for taking part (see Section 6).

3. Eligibility and Age

You must be 18 or older to book a Dinner. Dinners take place in restaurants where alcohol may be served, in the company of adults you have not met before, so they are strictly for adults.

3.1 Eligibility Requirements

To book a Dinner, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Live in or be visiting a place where the Platform is available
• Use the Platform for lawful purposes only
• Have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms

We may ask you to verify your age at any time, and we may decline or cancel a booking if we cannot reasonably confirm you are 18 or over.

4. Your Account

4.1 Registration

You need an account to book a Dinner and to use the social features. You agree to give accurate information, keep it up to date, and keep your login secure. You are responsible for activity on your account.

4.2 Profiles

Your profile is part of how we match you to the right table. To protect everyone, profiles stay private until people have actually met at a Dinner. Please keep your profile honest and respectful.

4.3 Closing Your Account

You may delete your account at any time through your account settings. When you do:

• Your access to the Platform ends.
• Most personal data is deleted within a reasonable period, unless we must keep some information for legal, safety, or financial reasons.
• Any upcoming Dinner you have booked is handled under the cancellation and refund rules in Section 7.
• Messages you sent to others may remain visible to them unless they delete them.

For full detail on what we keep and for how long, see our Privacy Policy. If this summary and the Privacy Policy differ, the Privacy Policy applies.

5. Booking and the Matching Fee

5.1 Reserving a Seat

To join a Dinner you pay a flat Matching Fee. The Matching Fee covers our work in matching you to a compatible group and organising the table, and it guarantees your Seat for that Dinner.

5.2 What the Matching Fee Does and Does Not Cover

• The Matching Fee is paid to KaneFilous Limited and covers matching, organising, and reserving your Seat.
• It does not cover food or drink. You pay for your own food and drinks directly at the Restaurant, typically around £20 to £30. We never handle the Restaurant bill.

5.3 Payment Processing

The Matching Fee is processed by Stripe using Apple Pay or a card. The full Matching Fee settles to KaneFilous Limited. There is no escrow and we make no transfers to any third party from your Matching Fee. The exact amount is shown to you before you confirm.

6. Premium and Points

6.1 Premium Membership

Premium is an optional membership that gives you a reduced Matching Fee. It is a subscription billed through your Apple or Google account, under the terms of the relevant app store. You can manage or cancel Premium in your app store account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.

6.2 Points and XP

You earn points and XP for taking part in KF.Social. Points can be used to reduce your Matching Fee at the rate of 1,000 points = £1 off.

Points and XP have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred or sold. We may adjust how points are earned or redeemed, and we may remove points obtained through abuse, error, or fraud.

7. Cancellations and Refunds

This section explains exactly what happens to your Matching Fee if a Dinner is cancelled, whether by you or by us. Food and drink are never part of this, because you pay the Restaurant directly.

7.1 If You Cancel

Within 24 hours of the Dinner the seat is already matched and the table is locked, which is why a late cancellation cannot be refunded. Seats cannot be gifted or transferred to anyone else.

7.2 If the Restaurant Cannot Meet Your Dietary Needs

7.3 If We Cancel

If we cancel a Dinner because the minimum number of seats was not reached, or because of a venue problem, you automatically receive a full refund to your card plus bonus points.

7.4 How Refunds Are Paid

• Card refunds are processed through Stripe back to your original payment method and typically appear within a few business days.
• Point refunds and bonus points are credited to your KF.Social account.
• Any points you applied to a refunded booking are returned to your account.

Nothing in this section affects any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

8. Dietary Needs

We collect your dietary information once, at your first booking, so we can choose a Restaurant that can feed everyone at your table.

Dietary information can be sensitive (for example, it may reveal health or religious details), so we treat it with extra care. For full detail on how we store and protect this data, see our Privacy Policy.

9. Conduct and Safety

Dinners only work if everyone feels safe and welcome. By taking part you agree to the following.

9.1 Be Kind and Be On Time

• Treat everyone at the table with respect.
• Turn up on time, or let your group know if your plans change.
• Look after yourself: drink responsibly and arrange your own way home.

9.2 Safety by Design

9.3 Not a Dating App

KF.Social is for making friends, not dating. Treating Dinners as a dating opportunity, or making other guests uncomfortable with unwanted advances, is a breach of these Terms and may lead to removal from the Platform.

10. Acceptable Use and Content

10.1 Your Content

You keep ownership of the posts, photos, and other content you create. By posting on the Platform, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and share that content as needed to operate KF.Social, including showing your table photos to your group. We will not use your content in external advertising without your separate consent. This licence continues for content you shared publicly or with others even after you close your account, and copies may remain in backups for a limited period.

10.2 Acceptable Use

To keep the Platform safe and welcoming, you agree not to:

• Harass, bully, threaten, or discriminate against others
• Post illegal, hateful, violent, or sexually explicit content
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent who you are
• Post spam, scams, or misleading content
• Share other guests' private information without consent
• Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose

10.3 Moderation

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms. Reported content is reviewed by our team. You can report content or a user with a single tap, or by emailing abuse@kf.social.

10.4 Our Intellectual Property

The Platform, including our name, logo, design, and software, is owned by or licensed to KaneFilous Limited and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works from it without our written permission.

11. Restaurants and Third Parties

Restaurants that host Dinners are independent businesses. We arrange the table, but we do not own or run the Restaurant.

• The food, drink, and service at a Dinner are provided by the Restaurant, not by us.
• You pay the Restaurant directly for what you order. Any issue with your bill is between you and the Restaurant.
• We are not responsible for the quality of the food or service, beyond checking that the assigned Restaurant can meet the dietary needs you declared in advance (see Section 7.2 and Section 8).

We also rely on third-party providers such as Stripe for payments and Apple and Google for subscription billing. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms.

12. Privacy and Data

We care about your privacy and we don't sell your data. KaneFilous Limited is the controller of the personal data processed through the Platform. Our lead supervisory authority is the Irish Data Protection Commission.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or export it, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Dietary information is processed on the basis of your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time (see Section 8).

For full detail on what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and how to exercise your rights, please read our Privacy Policy. You can reach our privacy team at privacy@kf.social.

13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

We work hard to run great Dinners, but there are limits to what we can promise.

13.1 Disclaimers

• The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that it will always be uninterrupted or error-free.
• We match people in good faith but cannot guarantee who will attend a Dinner, that you will get along, or that any particular outcome (such as new friendships) will result.
• We do not vet or guarantee the conduct of other guests. You are meeting other adults in a public place and remain responsible for your own safety and choices.
• Food, drink, and service are provided by independent Restaurants, as set out in Section 11.

13.2 What We Do Not Exclude

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

13.3 Limitation of Liability

Subject to Section 13.2, and to the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of:

• The total Matching Fees you paid to us in the 3 months before the claim, or
• £100.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of profit, data, or opportunity.

13.4 Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KaneFilous Limited and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Platform, your content, or your conduct towards other guests or third parties. This obligation survives the closing of your account.

14. Suspension and Termination

You can stop using KF.Social and close your account at any time (see Section 4.3).

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, behave in a way that puts other guests at risk, or use the Platform unlawfully. Where it is fair and practical to do so, we will tell you why and, where appropriate, give you a chance to respond. If we cancel an upcoming Dinner you have paid for as part of a suspension that is not your fault, we will refund your Matching Fee under Section 7.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example as we open in new countries or add features. If we make a material change, we will give you reasonable advance notice by email or through the Platform. Continuing to use KF.Social after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you can close your account.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you may also have the benefit of mandatory consumer protections, and the right to bring proceedings, in your country of residence.

We would always rather sort things out directly first, so please contact us at support@kf.social before taking any formal step.

If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in full effect.

17. Mobile App

The KF.Social app may ask for access to your device's camera, photo library, location, and push notifications. These are used for features such as posting a table photo, finding Dinners near you, and reminding you about an upcoming Dinner. You can manage or revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.

18. Apple App Store Terms

The following applies if you use the app from the Apple App Store :

• These Terms are between you and KaneFilous Limited, not Apple Inc.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property claims.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
