Terms of Service — Parallel

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you and Mira-TechSolutions LLC ("Parallel," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Parallel mobile application and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

Driving safety: Parallel is for use by passengers, when stopped, or when the device is mounted with hands-free voice control. Do not interact with the app while operating a vehicle. You are solely responsible for obeying all traffic laws and for safe driving at all times.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

Choose a username that you have the right to use and that does not impersonate Parallel staff or another person.
Keep your password confidential and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
Not create more than one account, and not transfer your account to anyone else.
Not use the Service if we have previously suspended or terminated you, unless we approve in writing.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

Violate any law, regulation, or third-party right.
Harass, threaten, dox, or stalk another person, or post hateful or discriminatory content.
Post sexually explicit content, content that depicts violence against a real person, or content that promotes self-harm.
Impersonate another person, including Parallel staff, or misrepresent your affiliation.
Promote, organize, or document activity that is illegal where it occurs — including but not limited to street racing on public roads, reckless driving, or evading law enforcement.
Upload spam, scams, malware, or content that infringes someone else's intellectual property or privacy.
Interfere with the Service's operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts or our systems, or scrape or crawl the Service.
Use the Service to develop a competing product, or to train a machine-learning model without our written permission.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. We may also cooperate with law enforcement when we reasonably believe a crime has occurred.

4. Reporting and blocking

The Service includes in-app tools to block users and to report posts, comments, or profiles that you believe violate these Terms. We review reports as resources allow. Submitting a report does not guarantee a specific outcome.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you post, including photos, captions, comments, and other submissions ("Your Content"). By posting Your Content to the Service, you grant Parallel a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (e.g. resize for thumbnails), publicly display, and distribute Your Content as needed to operate, promote, and improve the Service. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except that copies may remain in routine backups for a reasonable period and may persist in the feeds of users who interacted with it before deletion.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to post Your Content and that doing so does not violate the rights of any third party.

6. Our intellectual property

The Service, including the Parallel name, logo, designs, and software, is owned by Parallel and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by law.

7. Third-party services

The Service uses third-party services (including Google Firebase, Google Maps Platform, Resend, and Expo) to operate. Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers.

8. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Profile Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution) will survive.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

Parallel does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components. Map data, route directions, traffic information, and hazard reports are provided for informational purposes only and may be inaccurate or out of date. You are solely responsible for your driving and for evaluating the safety, legality, and suitability of any route or activity.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Parallel and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Parallel's total cumulative liability arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Parallel in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent those jurisdictions apply, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Parallel and its affiliates harmless from any claim, demand, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party right.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any mandatory consumer protections in your jurisdiction, the exclusive venue for any dispute relating to the Service shall be the state or federal courts located in Denton County, Texas, and you and Parallel consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may modify the Service at any time, including by adding, changing, or removing features. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will give you reasonable notice (for example, via in-app notice or email). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Miscellaneous

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a corporate transaction. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Parallel regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.
