Terms of Service

Last updated: September 4, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Farts with Friends mobile application and website at fartswithfriends.com (together, the "Service"), operated by Steve Letendre ("we," "us," or "our").

On iOS and Android, the app is Farts with Friends. The name refers to the same Service.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Farts with Friends mobile application and website (together, the "Service"), operated by Steve Letendre ("we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.

You are responsible for:

  • The activity that occurs under your account.
  • Keeping your sign-in credentials secure.
  • Providing accurate account information.

You may sign in using Google, Apple, phone number, or other methods we support. Each sign-in method is also subject to the provider's terms and policies.

We may suspend or refuse registration if we reasonably believe you do not meet these requirements or if your account poses a risk to the Service or other users.

3. Subscriptions & payments

Certain features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed through Apple's App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). We do not collect or store your full payment card details.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval shown on the purchase screen at the time you subscribe. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before that period ends. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period.

Free trials. If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial converts to a paid subscription at the then-current price.

Managing and cancelling. Pricing, renewal, and cancellation are managed entirely through your App Store or Google Play account settings — we cannot cancel or refund a store subscription on your behalf. Refunds are handled according to Apple's or Google's policies. Prices may change; where a change affects a renewal, the store will notify you and, where required, ask for your consent before charging the new price.

If your subscription lapses, access to premium features may end until you resubscribe.

4. Your content

"User Content" means audio recordings, titles, descriptions, profile information, ratings, messages, and other material you submit through the Service.

You retain ownership of your User Content. We do not claim ownership of your recordings. These Terms do not transfer copyright or other intellectual property rights in your User Content to us.

You represent that you have the rights needed to submit your User Content and to grant the license below.

5. License you grant to us

To operate the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, play, distribute, and display your User Content only as needed to provide the Service consistent with the audience and settings you choose.

This license ends when you delete the User Content or your account, except where we must retain copies for legal, safety, backup, or moderation reasons as described in our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for complying with laws that apply to recording other people. Do not record people without any consent required by law in your location. Do not upload recordings of others without permission.

7. Third-party rights

You must respect the privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, and other rights of others. Do not upload content you do not have the right to share.

8. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • Harass, bully, threaten, stalk, or humiliate other users.
  • Post hateful, sexually explicit, exploitative, violent, or illegal content.
  • Post content involving child sexual abuse or exploitation (zero tolerance).
  • Share someone's private information without permission ("doxxing").
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation.
  • Infringe intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
  • Spam, scam, or manipulate ratings or leaderboards.
  • Attempt to bypass blocks, reports, or moderation actions.
  • Probe, scrape, or disrupt the Service or its security.
  • Use the Service in violation of applicable law or the community standards in section 9.

9. Community features & standards

The Service includes social features such as friends, groups, invite codes, ratings, leaderboards, public profiles, and the Fartsphere (public community). Content you share with a public or community audience may be viewed, played, and rated by other users.

You choose the audience for each recording. You are responsible for what you share and with whom.

The spirit of the app

Farts with Friends is meant to be silly, social, and welcoming. Make people laugh. Play with your friends. Keep it kind. If something you're about to post would humiliate, endanger, or expose someone, don't post it. These standards apply to every recording, title, description, group, and interaction on the Service.

What's welcome

  • Harmless jokes and creative audio.
  • Recordings shared with the consent of everyone involved.
  • Friendly competition on leaderboards.
  • Good-natured sharing inside groups and with friends.

What's not allowed

The prohibited conduct in section 8 applies in full. In plain terms, do not post content that harasses or humiliates someone, records or shares a person without the consent you need, targets people with hate or discrimination, is sexual or exploitative, exposes someone's private information, impersonates anyone, cheats the ratings or leaderboards, encourages self-harm or dangerous challenges, or breaks the law. Content involving child sexual abuse or exploitation is reported to the authorities.

Enforcement and appeals

Depending on the severity and history of a violation, we may remove the content, warn the account, restrict features such as posting, ratings, or discovery, temporarily suspend the account, permanently terminate it, or report it to law enforcement where required. If you believe a decision was made in error, email support@fartswithfriends.com with your account and the action you'd like to appeal, and we'll take another look.

10. Safety, moderation & termination

We provide safety tools including block, report, Help & Support, and the community standards in section 9. We may review reports, temporarily hide content pending review, remove content, or restrict and terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose harm.

We may act on our own initiative or in response to user reports. Enforcement decisions are made at our reasonable discretion. Where available, you may contact support to appeal certain account actions.

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account through the app or our Delete Account page.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time.

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@fartswithfriends.com with:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work.
  • Identification of the material you believe is infringing and where it appears.
  • Your contact information.
  • A statement of good-faith belief and accuracy, and your authorization to act on behalf of the rights holder.

Your notice should also include a physical or electronic signature. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, if you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing.

Counter-notification. If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address containing: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live (or, if you are outside the United States, the District of New Jersey), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complaining party notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order.

We may remove or disable access to material that we believe infringes copyright and will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

12. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party services (such as Google, Apple, Firebase, and app stores). We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Your use of those services is subject to their terms.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STEVE LETENDRE AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, the above limits apply to the fullest extent permitted.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Steve Letendre and our affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

16. App Store & Google Play terms

The app is licensed, not sold, to you. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control, as permitted by the usage rules of the store you downloaded it from.

Apple App Store

If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store, the following applies and, to the extent it conflicts with the rest of these Terms, controls for that copy of the app:

  • These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
  • If a third party claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, we — not Apple — are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
  • Apple's applicable third-party terms (for example, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions) apply to your use of the app.

Google Play

If you downloaded the app from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app. We, not Google, are solely responsible for the app, its content, and any support or claims relating to it.

Age signals and store notices

Where an app store provides us with an age category or parental-consent signal for your account under an applicable app store accountability law, we may rely on that signal to determine whether you may create an account or make a purchase, and we use it only for that purpose. If we make a significant change to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or how the app monetizes, we will notify the app stores as those laws require, and parental consent may need to be given again before a minor can continue using the app.

17. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@fartswithfriends.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

18. General provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Notices. We may give you notice through the Service, by push notification, or by email or phone number on your account. You may send notices to support@fartswithfriends.com.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages at our hosting or app store providers.

Survival. Sections on your content and license, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and these general provisions survive termination of your account.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions about the Service, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you.

19. Changes

We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service, by email where appropriate, or by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
