cofounder Terms of Use

Version: 1.6

Version date: 10 November 2026

Effective date: 10 November 2026.

1. What cofounder is and who provides it

cofounder is an app for meeting other people who want to start something and working out whether you fit as cofounders. It lets you create a profile, see other people's profiles, show interest, match when the interest is mutual, talk by chat, and create or join groups of people looking to complement profiles for a project, with a group chat among members.

It is provided by Joel de Torres Sainz de la Maza, residing at carrer Nou, 37, 25153 Puigverd de Lleida (Catalonia, Spain). Contact: soporte@getcofounder.app.

By creating an account or using the app you accept these terms, the community guidelines and the privacy policy.

2. What cofounder is not

• It is not a dating app. Using it for dating or sexual propositions is prohibited.
• It is not a job board. Nobody hires anybody: people relate to each other as peers.
• It does not offer legal, tax or financial advice, and it neither provides nor promises funding.
• It does not guarantee that you will find a cofounder, that a relationship will work or that a project will succeed.

3. Minimum age

You must be 16 or older. Age is self-declared. If you state an age that is not yours, you are in breach of these terms. We delete the accounts of people under 16 as soon as we detect them.

4. Your account

• You are responsible for the activity on your account and for the accuracy of the information on your profile.
• You may only have one active account for yourself. You may not create fake profiles or impersonate anyone.
• An account created without an email is lost if you sign out or uninstall the app. Adding and confirming an email lets you recover it. An account created with Google or Apple is recovered by signing in again with that same service.
• You can delete your account whenever you want from Settings > Account > Delete my account, or by following the instructions at https://getcofounder.app/en/eliminar-cuenta.

5. Content you post

You are responsible for what you post: profile, photo, board photos and text, answers, links, messages (including group chat messages) and, if you create or administer a group, the name, description and profiles the group is looking for. You grant us the non-exclusive permission, limited to what is needed to provide the service, to store that content and show it to other people on the app as described in the privacy policy. You keep the rights to your content, and you may not post content you do not own or do not have permission to use.

To create your profile you need to add a profile photo. Before it is published it is reviewed automatically (§7); if it does not pass the review, it is not published and you cannot finish signing up until you upload another one. Afterwards you can change or remove it whenever you want.

Your profile, including your approved photo, your board and your links, can be seen by anyone with an account on the app. 1:1 conversations can only be seen by the two people in the match. A group chat can only be seen by members of that group. The name, description, profiles a group is looking for and the public profiles of its members can be seen by people using the Groups deck.

6. Conduct and zero tolerance

cofounder has zero tolerance for abusive content and conduct. In particular, the following is not allowed:

• Harassment, threats, intimidation, insults or discrimination on any grounds.
• Sexual content, nudity or sexual propositions.
• Any content that sexualises, exploits or endangers minors.
• Graphic violence or incitement to violence or hatred.
• Impersonating another person or creating fake profiles.
• Scams, spam, soliciting money or unsolicited promotion.
• Sharing other people's personal data without their permission.
• Any illegal activity.

The details are in the community guidelines.

7. Moderation, blocks and reports

• You can block and report anyone from the app.
• We review reports and may remove content, issue warnings, or suspend or delete accounts, without prior notice when the severity justifies it.
• Profile and board photos, with their text, are automatically reviewed by a third-party service before they are published. If they cannot be reviewed or do not pass the review, they are not published.
• We may report to the competent authorities any content and conduct that requires it, especially where minors are affected.

8. "GitHub verified"

If you link your GitHub account, your profile shows "GitHub verified". That badge only indicates that the GitHub link belongs to you. It does not verify who you are, your identity, your experience or your knowledge, and you must not present it as such.

9. What you agree between yourselves

Whatever you agree with other people you meet on cofounder is your own business. cofounder is not a party to those agreements, does not supervise them and is not liable for them. You should verify for yourself who you are talking to and seek independent professional advice before forming a company, signing an agreement or contributing money.

10. Groups

You can create a group or join one to complement profiles on a peer-to-peer project.

Creation. The person who creates the group is the admin. They set the name, description and the profiles the group is looking for (specialties and slots, up to a maximum of 6 people in total). Creating a group is free for now; in the future we may require cofounder Premium to create one. If we do, we will say so in the app and in these terms.

Joining. If you like a group and the admin likes you (in either order), you join the group in the agreed profile and the group chat opens (or you are added to it).

Group chat. Group chat messages are visible to all members. The same conduct rules as for 1:1 chat apply (§6). You can report a specific message. There is a basic content filter; it does not guarantee full moderation.

Administration. The admin may remove a member. Any member may leave. If you leave or are removed, the slot opens again and you do not rejoin on your own from prior likes. If the admin leaves or deletes their account, leadership passes to the longest-standing member; if the group is empty, it is deleted.

Blocking and reporting. You can block or report a group. Blocking a group means a permanent pass on it and blocking its admin. Reporting a group is filed against the admin.

Not employment. A group does not create an employment, services or company relationship among you or with cofounder. “Profiles we are looking for” describes peer complementarity, not a job offer. Whatever members agree among themselves is your own business (§9).

11. cofounder Premium

What it includes. cofounder Premium is an optional subscription that removes the daily like limit and adds Super Likes, undoing your last swipe, Boost and seeing who liked you. cofounder remains free without Premium and shows no ads. Creating a group is free for now; if we later require Premium to create one, we will say so here and in the app.

Price and renewal. €4.99 per month or €39.99 per year, taxes included, charged by the Apple App Store or Google Play. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. The first time you subscribe you get a 7-day free trial on the annual plan and a 3-day one on the monthly plan; if you do not cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, charging for the chosen plan begins. The trial is limited to one per person and store account.

How to cancel. From the subscription settings of your Apple or Google account (in the app, the "Manage subscription" link is at the bottom of the Premium screen and, if you are already Premium, in Settings). Deleting your cofounder account does not cancel the subscription in the store: cancel it first.

Withdrawal and refunds. The charge is made by the store, which handles refunds under its own conditions. By subscribing, you request immediate access to the digital content and acknowledge that you lose the 14-day right of withdrawal as soon as performance begins, except for whatever the store grants you.

Price changes and ending. We will notify you before changing the price, and the store will ask you to confirm it. At the end of the paid period you return to the free plan without losing your profile or your matches.

12. Availability and liability

We offer the app as is, with no guarantee of continuous availability. We may modify, interrupt or withdraw it. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from the conduct of other people or from the agreements you reach. This does not limit the rights the law grants to consumers.

13. Suspension and leaving

We may suspend or delete your account if you breach these terms or the guidelines. You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time.

14. Changes and acceptance

If we change these terms in a significant way, we will publish a new version with its number and date, and we will ask you to accept it to keep using the app. The app stores the version and date of the terms you accept.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you keep the rights granted to you by the rules of your place of residence and you may go to the courts that correspond to you.
