Terms of Use

These terms explain the rules for using CoBrew, including the safety responsibilities that come with meeting people in public places.

Last updated: June 9, 2026

01

Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and CoBrew. By accessing or using the CoBrew mobile app, website, waitlist, beta, or related services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use CoBrew. If you use CoBrew on behalf of another person or organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.

02

What CoBrew Does

CoBrew helps users discover work-friendly public places, review amenities, and optionally join or start in-person work sessions called Brews. CoBrew is not a coworking operator, venue operator, security provider, transportation provider, background-check service, emergency service, or professional advisor.

Spot details, amenity values, hours, ratings, reviews, Brew details, and user information may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or based on community submissions. You are responsible for independently deciding whether a spot, person, route, event, or Brew is appropriate for you.

03

Brews and Organizer Relationships

Unless a Brew is expressly identified in CoBrew as being hosted or organized by CoBrew, a venue, or another commercial partner, the Brew is an arrangement between the users who host and attend it. CoBrew provides tools that help users make those arrangements but is not a party to them.

A host or participant may separately be an employee, contractor, representative, or partner of CoBrew or a venue. That separate relationship does not, by itself, make every Brew they attend or host an official CoBrew or venue event. No user may bind CoBrew, enter into an agreement for CoBrew, or make promises on CoBrew's behalf unless CoBrew has expressly authorized them to do so.

If CoBrew, a venue, or a partner organizes, staffs, sponsors, or promotes a Brew, we may identify that relationship in the Brew or related promotion and may provide additional terms or disclosures. Sponsorship or organizer involvement does not guarantee attendance, venue access, seating, safety, compatibility, behavior, or a particular experience.

Except to the extent CoBrew expressly agrees otherwise for a clearly identified official Brew, CoBrew does not control or take responsibility for a host's or participant's conduct, whether anyone attends, whether a venue admits users, whether seating or amenities are available, or how a Brew is carried out.

If you host a Brew, you agree to:

  • provide accurate Brew details and promptly correct or cancel outdated plans;
  • choose a lawful public location and follow the venue's rules and staff instructions;
  • not claim a reservation, venue partnership, sponsorship, or CoBrew affiliation that does not exist;
  • disclose any material commercial relationship or compensation connected to the Brew;
  • not charge attendees or conduct promotions through a Brew unless CoBrew has authorized it.

04

In-Person Safety and Meeting Strangers

CoBrew can help you find people who may be working at the same public place, but meeting or interacting with strangers carries risk. You use CoBrew and attend Brews at your own risk.

CoBrew does not screen users, run background checks, verify identities, supervise Brews, guarantee attendance, or guarantee anyone's behavior. A profile, friend request, review, Brew, or spot listing is not an endorsement by CoBrew unless we expressly state otherwise.

Some spot listings, Brews, recommendations, or other placements may be sponsored or promoted by locations or other partners that have a commercial relationship with CoBrew. We will use reasonable efforts to clearly identify sponsored content. A sponsorship means CoBrew may receive payment, services, or other value; it does not mean that CoBrew has screened the people involved, independently verified every claim, or guaranteed the location's safety, quality, availability, accuracy, or suitability for you.

These safety and conduct rules also apply to interactions connected to CoBrew that occur before, during, or after a Brew, including relevant conduct that occurs off-platform. Blocking a user can limit future interaction in CoBrew, but it cannot prevent contact or conduct outside the service.

When using CoBrew, you agree to use common-sense safety precautions, including:

  • meet only in public places and avoid private homes or isolated locations;
  • tell someone you trust where you are going and when you expect to return;
  • keep control of your belongings, drinks, devices, and transportation;
  • leave immediately if a situation feels unsafe or uncomfortable;
  • call local emergency services if you believe anyone is in danger.

05

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to create an account or use CoBrew. By creating an account or continuing to use CoBrew, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. Do not use CoBrew if you are under 18 or prohibited from using the service under applicable law.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs through your account.

06

Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

  • harass, threaten, stalk, exploit, discriminate against, or harm any person;
  • post false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, hateful, violent, or illegal content;
  • impersonate another person, misrepresent your identity, or create deceptive Brews or reviews;
  • use CoBrew to arrange unsafe, unlawful, private, or non-consensual encounters;
  • collect, scrape, sell, or misuse information about users or spots;
  • publish another person's sensitive, private, or confidential information without authorization;
  • record or photograph another person in violation of applicable law or without any consent the law requires;
  • submit a knowingly false, retaliatory, abusive, or misleading safety report;
  • interfere with CoBrew's security, infrastructure, moderation, or operation;
  • use CoBrew to spam, advertise, solicit, or promote unrelated commercial activity without permission;
  • violate the rights of CoBrew, other users, venues, or third parties.

07

Brews, Spots, Reviews, and Community Content

You are responsible for the Brews, spot submissions, reviews, ratings, notes, photos, reports, and other content you submit. Do not submit content you do not have the right to share. Do not include sensitive personal information, private addresses, or confidential information in public content.

By submitting content to CoBrew, you grant CoBrew a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and use that content to operate, improve, promote, and protect CoBrew. This license continues as needed to operate CoBrew, preserve community context, maintain safety records, and comply with legal obligations.

CoBrew may review, edit, reject, remove, down-rank, or preserve content at our discretion, including for safety, accuracy, legal, moderation, or product reasons. We are not obligated to publish or maintain any content.

Reviews and amenity reports must reflect your honest, first-hand experience. You may not manipulate ratings, coordinate deceptive reviews, review a location you have not meaningfully experienced, or conceal a material relationship with a venue, sponsor, or other subject of your review. Venue-provided information and sponsored placements may be displayed separately from community reviews and community ratings.

08

Location and Venue Information

CoBrew spot information may come from users, venue representatives, public sources, third-party services, and internal review. Hours, Wi-Fi availability, outlets, seating, bathrooms, noise levels, accessibility, address details, and open/closed status can change without notice.

You should verify critical details directly with a venue before relying on them. CoBrew is not responsible for a venue's policies, service, safety, availability, prices, accessibility, hours, staff, customers, or conditions.

09

Location Claims and Venue Representatives

If you own, manage, or represent a location, you may contact CoBrew to claim or correct factual information such as hours, amenities, policies, and accessibility notes. You must be authorized to act for the location and must provide accurate information.

Community reviews and community ratings remain community-led. CoBrew may display official venue-provided information separately from community feedback.

10

Reports, Blocking, and Enforcement

CoBrew may provide tools to report users, Brews, spots, and reviews, and to block users. We may investigate reports and take action we consider appropriate, including warning users, removing content, restricting features, suspending accounts, banning users, preserving records, or contacting authorities.

To investigate a report, we may review relevant profiles, Brews, participation records, comments, reviews, account history, and information provided by the people involved. You agree to provide truthful information and reasonably cooperate with a safety investigation. Do not submit information you obtained unlawfully.

We are not required to investigate every report, explain every enforcement decision, monitor every interaction, or reverse any decision. Reporting through CoBrew is not a substitute for contacting emergency services or law enforcement when appropriate.

11

Beta Access, Rewards, and Incentives

CoBrew may offer beta access, early pricing, gift cards, rewards, or other incentives for useful spot submissions, reviews, testing, or feedback. Any reward program may be changed, limited, delayed, or discontinued at any time.

Rewards are not payment for positive reviews and must not be used to encourage false, misleading, biased, or low-quality content. CoBrew may deny rewards for abuse, duplicate submissions, inaccurate content, or conduct that violates these Terms.

Eligibility may depend on completeness, usefulness, originality, verification, and compliance with program rules, not on whether a review is positive or negative. You are responsible for any taxes or reporting obligations associated with a reward.

12

Paid Services and Subscriptions

CoBrew may offer paid memberships, subscriptions, free trials, founding pricing, or other paid features. Prices, renewal periods, included features, and trial terms will be shown before purchase.

Unless the purchase screen states otherwise, a free trial converts to a paid, automatically renewing subscription when the trial ends. You must cancel through the applicable app store before the deadline shown by that store to avoid the next charge. Deleting CoBrew or deleting your CoBrew account does not automatically cancel an app-store subscription.

If you purchase through Apple App Store or Google Play, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled by that app store under its terms. You can manage or cancel app-store subscriptions through your Apple or Google account settings. Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled.

We may change pricing or features prospectively, subject to applicable law and app store rules. Taxes may apply. Except where required by law or app store policy, payments are non-refundable.

13

Third-Party Services and Links

CoBrew may use or link to third-party services, including maps, location search, authentication providers, app stores, payment processors, and venue websites. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, policies, availability, or practices.

14

Intellectual Property

CoBrew, including its design, software, branding, logos, text, and other materials, is owned by CoBrew or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Subject to these Terms, CoBrew grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use CoBrew for its intended purpose.

15

Disclaimers

CoBrew is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, safety, non-infringement, and uninterrupted operation.

We do not guarantee that CoBrew will be error-free, secure, available, accurate, or suitable for your needs. We do not guarantee any user's identity, background, behavior, attendance, intentions, or compatibility with you.

16

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CoBrew and its operators, affiliates, service providers, and contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, personal injury, property damage, emotional distress, or losses arising from your use of CoBrew, Brews, spots, user content, third-party services, or interactions with other users or venues.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to CoBrew will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid CoBrew in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim or $50.

17

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CoBrew and its operators, affiliates, service providers, and contributors from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of CoBrew, your content, your breach of these Terms, your violation of law, or your interaction with another user or venue.

18

Account Suspension and Termination

You may stop using CoBrew at any time and may delete your account in the app. We may suspend or terminate access to CoBrew at any time if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk, abused the service, or if continued access would be harmful to CoBrew, users, venues, or third parties.

19

Changes to CoBrew or These Terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of CoBrew. We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users. Your continued use of CoBrew after updated Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms.

20

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Courts located in New York County, New York will have jurisdiction over disputes, unless applicable law requires a different forum.
