Terms of Service
Important — U.S. users: Section 14 requires that most disputes between you and the Company be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, and includes a class action and jury trial waiver, except as stated below. Please read Section 14 carefully. U.S. users must be 18+. Illegal activity (drugs, illegal gambling, commercial sex, CSAM, weapons trafficking, and similar) is strictly prohibited — see Section 6 and our Community Guidelines.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

5. User Content
You retain ownership of content you post. By posting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, format, and moderate your content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Services and enforce these Terms. This license ends when the content is deleted from our active systems, except to the extent continued retention is required for safety, legal compliance, disputes, or backup rotation.
You represent that you have the right to post your content and that it complies with our Community Guidelines.
6. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to violate our Community Guidelines or engage in harassment, fraud, spam, platform abuse, or any conduct that harms users or the Service.
Without limiting the Guidelines, you may not use the Services to:
- Buy, sell, distribute, or arrange delivery of illegal drugs or controlled substances
- Organize or promote illegal gambling or unlicensed betting

- Facilitate fraud, money laundering, human trafficking, violence, terrorism, or other criminal activity
We may remove content, suspend, or permanently terminate accounts at our discretion. For severe or illegal violations, we may preserve evidence and refer matters to law enforcement or NCMEC as required or permitted by law.
6A. User Content Compliance & Platform Role
Wanerban is a neutral host for user-generated content and coordination tools. We do not author user invitations or messages. You are solely responsible for your content and offline conduct. Nothing in these Terms makes us an organizer, agent, or accomplice of any illegal activity.
7. Invitations and Offline Meetings
- Hosts and participants interact at their own risk
- We do not verify identities or conduct background checks
- We are not responsible for the conduct of any user on or off the platform
- Follow our Safety Tips for in-person meetups
- Do not use offline meetups arranged through Wanerban to commit or facilitate crime
8. Attendance Rate
Hosts may mark participants as attended or no-show after events. Attendance statistics may be displayed on profiles. False or abusive markings may result in account action.
9. Intellectual Property
The Wanerban app, Bobobans brand, logos, and Service design are owned by the Company or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, or reverse engineer the Services except as permitted by law.
If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, see our DMCA Copyright Policy and contact legal@bobobans.com.
10. Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, pose a safety risk, or engage in illegal activity. We may retain limited records after termination when required for legal compliance, safety investigations, or law-enforcement requests. Provisions that by nature should survive will survive termination.
10A. Law Enforcement & Safety Reporting
We may report illegal content or activity to appropriate authorities. For child sexual exploitation, we report to NCMEC (CyberTipline) as required under U.S. law. We may disclose information pursuant to warrants, subpoenas, court orders, or other lawful process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm.

11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM OFFLINE MEETUPS, USER CONDUCT, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS (IF ANY). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.
13. Governing Law
If you reside in the United States, these Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs Section 14 and all questions of arbitrability.
If you reside outside the United States (and Section 14 does not apply), these Terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, and disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts in Shanghai, China, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your country require otherwise.
14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration (U.S. Users)
This Section 14 applies if you are a consumer who resides in the United States. It does not apply where prohibited by law (including, for users in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, to the extent mandatory local law prohibits mandatory arbitration).
14a. Contact Us First — Informal Resolution
Before starting arbitration or litigation, you agree to contact us at support@bobobans.com and send a written description of your dispute and the relief you seek (“Notice”). You may also mail a Notice to:
Bobobans (Shanghai) Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd.
Attn: Legal / Dispute Resolution
Building 1-2, No. 4, 1628 Lizheng Road, Lingang New Area,
China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Shanghai, PRC
We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 60 days after we receive a complete Notice. Completion of this process is a condition precedent to filing arbitration or court action (except small claims court or where the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (“EFAA”) applies). The statute of limitations and filing deadlines are tolled during this period.
14b. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. All claims must be brought only in an individual capacity. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party’s individual claim(s).
If a court finds any portion of this waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim may proceed in court while remaining claims proceed in individual arbitration, or this Section 14 may be severed as required by law.
14c. Binding Arbitration
Except as set out below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that is not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org.
Exceptions:
- Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it remains within that court’s jurisdiction.
- Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property.
- Claims covered by the EFAA may be brought in court as that law permits.
The arbitrator shall apply Delaware law (consistent with Section 13). Hearings may be conducted by videoconference or, if an in-person hearing is required, in the county where you reside unless the parties agree otherwise.
Filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be allocated under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable law. The Company will pay amounts the AAA rules require a business to pay. Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator or applicable law permits a fee award.
14d. Opt-Out of Arbitration
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@bobobans.com with subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out,” your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out. If you opt out, Section 14b–14c will not apply to you, but the remainder of these Terms will still apply.
14e. Fallback Court
If Section 14 is found unenforceable in its entirety as to a U.S. dispute, or for disputes exempt from arbitration, exclusive jurisdiction shall be the state or federal courts located in Delaware, USA, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
15. Changes
We may modify these Terms. We will provide reasonable advance notice of material changes in-app or by email. If applicable law requires renewed acceptance, we will request it before the revised Terms apply.
