Terms of use

Niceo · last updated 7 September 2026 · draft, not yet reviewed by a lawyer

Niceo is run by DX Machina s. r. o., Kukučínova 14, 831 03 Bratislava, Slovakia, company ID 53146051, reachable at info@niceo.app. Using Niceo means agreeing to what follows. If you do not agree, do not check in.

What Niceo does

An organiser buys a room for their event and gives out a code. You enter the code, fill in a badge, and see the other people who did the same. Swipe right on someone and, if they do the same, a conversation opens. It is free for attendees and always will be — the organiser pays for the room.

Who can use it

You must be 18 or over. One person, one account, and the email address has to be yours. Your badge has to say who you actually are: people decide whether to walk across a room to meet you based on it, so a false badge is grounds for removal. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

Content and conduct

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour on Niceo. By using it you agree not to post, send or display anything that is:

• harassing, threatening, hateful or demeaning towards a person or a group;
• sexual, sexually suggestive, or a sexual advance of any kind;
• violent, or encouraging harm to anyone;
• an impersonation of another person, company or organisation;
• unlawful, or an infringement of somebody else’s rights;
• unsolicited selling, recruiting or bulk messaging to people who did not ask for it;
• a scrape, copy or export of the room, whether by hand or by machine.

People who match here often meet in person minutes later, in a real building. That is why these rules are not decoration.

Reporting and blocking

Every card in the room and every conversation has a menu that lets you block or report the person. Blocking is immediate, mutual and permanent: you disappear from each other’s rooms and neither of you can write to the other again.

A person reads every report within 24 hours. Where a report is upheld we remove the content and eject the account, and we may do so on a single report. You will not be told what happened to someone else’s account, and we will not tell them who reported them.

What you write stays yours

Your badge, your event note and your messages are yours. You give us only the permission we need to run the service: to store them and to show them to the people in the same room as you, and to the person you are talking to. Nothing is published, sold, licensed onwards, or used to train anything.

The app itself

Niceo — the software, the name, the logo, the badge design and everything else we made — is ours and stays ours. You get permission to use the app for what it is for, on your own devices, for as long as these terms are kept. That permission is personal to you and cannot be passed on.

It does not extend to copying or reselling any part of Niceo, reverse-engineering it, working around its limits, running it through an automated client, or using our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse something we do not.

Changes to the service

Niceo is still being built and we will add, change and remove things as we learn what works at real events. We will not take away something you are relying on without telling you first, unless we have to for legal or security reasons.

Rooms and organisers

A room exists for one event and closes when the organiser’s access ends. Your account, your badge and your conversations are not the organiser’s and stay with you afterwards. We are not responsible for the event itself, for who the organiser let in, or for anything that happens at it.

What we do not promise

We do not promise that anyone will match with you, reply to you, or turn up. We do not verify anybody’s identity, employer or intentions — a badge is a claim its owner makes, not a fact we checked. Meeting someone from Niceo is your decision, made with the same care you would use meeting anyone at a conference. Niceo is offered as it is, and during the first events it will have rough edges.

Ending it

You can delete your account at any time under Your badge, or from the account deletion page if you no longer have the app. We can suspend or remove an account that breaks these terms, and for anything on the conduct list we will do it without warning.

If you got Niceo from the App Store or Google Play

These terms are between you and us, not between you and Apple or Google. They run the store; they do not run Niceo.

• We — not Apple or Google — are solely responsible for Niceo, for supporting it, and for any claim that it does not work, breaks a law, or infringes somebody’s intellectual property.
• Apple and Google have no obligation to provide any support for Niceo.
• If Niceo fails to conform to any warranty, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. Niceo is free to attendees, so that amount is zero. Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Liability

We are liable for damage we cause intentionally or through gross negligence, and for damage to life, body or health. For anything else our liability is limited to damage that was foreseeable and typical for a service of this kind, and nothing here limits liability that Slovak or EU law does not allow us to limit — including your rights as a consumer.

The small print

• If one part fails, the rest holds. Should any clause here turn out to be unenforceable, it is treated as removed and everything else stays in force.
• This is the whole agreement between you and us about Niceo, together with the privacy policy. It replaces anything said beforehand.
• Not enforcing something is not giving it up. If we let a breach pass, we keep the right to act on the next one.
• We may transfer these terms to whoever takes over the business, provided your rights are not reduced. You cannot transfer yours.
• Things outside anyone’s control. Neither of us is liable for a failure caused by something we could not reasonably prevent — a network or power outage, an act of a provider we depend on, industrial action, a natural event or a war.
• How we reach each other. We write to the email address on your account, so keep it one you read. You write to info@niceo.app, or to the postal address at the top.

The legal bit

Slovak law applies. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in, and you may bring a claim in your own courts. You can also use the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/odr.

How we handle your data is a separate document: read the privacy policy. If we change these terms, the date at the top changes and material changes are emailed to you before they take effect.
