Terms of Service
Effective Date: April 28, 2026 · Last Updated: April 28, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Thirstii mobile application and website at thirstiiapp.com (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Thirstii (“we,” “our,” or “us”).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the app or email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Age Requirement
YOU MUST BE 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO USE THIRSTII.
Thirstii is a nightlife and bar discovery app for New York City. The venues featured — including bars, clubs, live music spaces, and other nightlife destinations — are intended for adults. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 21 years old. We reserve the right to terminate accounts of users who misrepresent their age.
3. Accounts
3.1 Registration
To use Thirstii, you must create an account using a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3.2 Username (Handle)
Upon registration, you will choose a unique username (handle). Handles are subject to availability and may not impersonate another person, use offensive language, or violate these Terms. We reserve the right to reclaim or reassign handles at our discretion.
3.3 Account Security
You agree to notify us immediately at contact@thirstiiapp.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized use of your account.
3.4 One Account Per Person
You may not create multiple accounts. Duplicate accounts may be suspended or merged.
4. User-Generated Content
4.1 Your Content
Thirstii allows you to post ratings, scores, and tags (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. Tags you submit are contributed to anonymized aggregate counts per venue and are not linked to your account — they are not deleted upon account deletion.
4.2 License to Thirstii
By posting User Content, you grant Thirstii a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and modify your User Content in connection with operating and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete your content or account, subject to content already cached or distributed.
4.3 Public Visibility
Your ratings and scores are visible to friends. Non-friends can see up to 5 of your top and 5 most recent ratings unless your account is private, in which case no ratings are visible to non-friends. Do not post content you do not wish to be publicly visible.
4.4 Content Standards
You agree not to post User Content that:
- Is false, misleading, or defamatory
- Infringes any third party's intellectual property rights
- Contains hate speech, harassment, threats, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin
- Is obscene, sexually explicit, or inappropriate
- Promotes illegal activity
- Contains spam, advertisements, or commercial solicitations without our express written consent
- Violates any applicable law or regulation
We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these standards, at our sole discretion, without notice.
5. Social Features
5.1 Following
You may follow other users to see their ratings and activity in your feed. Following a user does not imply endorsement of their views or content.
5.2 Friend Discovery
With your permission, Thirstii may access your device contacts to suggest friends who are already on the platform. This feature is optional and can be disabled in your device settings.
5.3 Notifications
Thirstii sends notifications when other users interact with your content. You can manage notification preferences in your device's Settings app.
6. Venue Information
Bar and restaurant information on Thirstii is sourced from Google Places API and user-submitted ratings. We do not own or operate any venues listed on the platform. Venue details including hours, addresses, and photos may not always be accurate or up to date. Always verify venue information directly with the establishment before visiting.
7. Alcohol and Responsible Drinking
Thirstii is a nightlife discovery and social platform — we do not sell, serve, or deliver alcohol.
By using Thirstii, you acknowledge and agree:
- Thirstii does not encourage excessive or irresponsible alcohol consumption
- Ratings and recommendations on Thirstii reflect personal user opinions only
- If you choose to drink, please drink responsibly. Know your limits, designate a driver, or use a rideshare service.
We support the responsible enjoyment of alcohol for adults of legal drinking age. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol use, please contact the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 (free, confidential, 24/7).
8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Service if you are under 21 years of age
