Terms of use

Last updated 12 October 2026

1. Who we are, and agreeing to these terms

Hangxiety Society is made by SPENCER AI (ABN 31 978 335 623), Victoria, Australia ("we", "us"). These terms are an agreement between you and us about the Hangxiety Society app and this website (together, "Hangxiety Society"). By downloading, opening or using Hangxiety Society you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use it, and delete the app.

2. You must be of legal drinking age

Hangxiety Society talks about nights out and drinking, so it's only for adults. You may use it only if you are 18 or older and at least the legal drinking age where you live. In the United States that means 21 or older. Where your local legal drinking age is higher than 18, that higher age applies to you. By using Hangxiety Society you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you don't, you must not use it, and please delete the app.

We don't check ID, so you're responsible for telling us the truth. If we learn that someone under the required age is using Hangxiety Society, we may stop them using it.

3. What Hangxiety Society is, and what it isn't

Hangxiety Society helps a small crew of friends plan a sesh, check that everyone got home, say how they're feeling the next day, piece the night together and keep a simple tab of who owes who.

• It does not sell, supply or promote alcohol, and it doesn't encourage anyone to drink, to drink more, or to drink in any particular way. Nothing in it is a challenge or a dare.
• It is not medical, health, legal, financial or any other professional advice.
• The just-for-fun parts (characters, how you're feeling, fill your cup, funniest moment, best line, BOG) are for fun only.

Please drink responsibly, know your limits, plan how you'll get home, and never drive or ride after drinking. If you're worried about your drinking or someone else's, see our support page for free helplines.

4. Home safe, bumps and reminders are not an emergency service

Home safe, bumps, reminders and the safety net are simple check-ins between friends. They are not monitored by us or by anyone else, they don't contact emergency services, and they may not work: a phone can be flat, offline, on silent or have notifications turned off, and messages between phones can be delayed. Never rely on Hangxiety Society to keep anyone safe. If you're worried about someone, call them or go to them. In an emergency, call 000 in Australia, 111 in New Zealand, 911 in the United States, or 999 or 112 in the UK and Ireland.

5. The tab is just notes between mates

The tab lets people in a sesh note who owes who. No money moves through Hangxiety Society and we are not a payment, lending or record-keeping service. An IOU in the app is not a contract, a debt we're part of, or a reliable record for any legal, tax or financial purpose. Sorting out what's owed, and how it's paid, is between you and your friends.

6. Your crew and what you post

You choose who you link with, by code or QR, and who is in each sesh. Anything you post in a sesh (check-ins, gaps, funny moments, BOG votes, IOUs and messages) is shared with the other people in that sesh. You're responsible for what you post, and you agree not to:

• post anything unlawful, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit or that puts anyone at risk;
• share someone's private information, photos or secrets without their permission, or post things that are untrue and damaging about a real person;
• use Hangxiety Society to plan or encourage illegal activity, drink driving, supplying alcohol to anyone under age, or anything that could harm someone;
• share a sesh code with people who shouldn't be in that sesh. Anyone with a sesh code can join that sesh until the code expires, so treat it like a key;
• copy, resell or tamper with the app, except where the law allows you to.

You can remove or block anyone at any time. Blocking takes them out of your crew, ignores their updates on your phone and stops their code linking with you again. It can't take back what's already on their phone. Because seshes live on the phones of the people in them, we can't see or remove what's been shared. To report someone, email us. If someone is putting you at risk, contact the police.

7. Your information

Hangxiety Society keeps your information on your phone. Updates to your crew are locked on your phone before they're sent and pass through a postbox that can't read them. We don't keep a copy, so we can't back up or recover anything if your phone is lost or reset or the app is deleted. Our privacy policy explains this in full.

8. Using Hangxiety Society properly, and who owns it

We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms, for your own non-commercial use. The app, its name, characters, artwork, logo and text are ours or used with permission. The things you write are yours, and you give the people in your sesh permission to see them in the app.

9. Changes and availability

Hangxiety Society is free. There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads. As far as the law allows, we provide it "as is" and "as available", without any promise that it will be accurate, available, error-free, secure or suitable for your purpose. We may update, change, pause or stop Hangxiety Society or any part of it, or stop you using it, as far as the law allows.

10. Your rights under consumer law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can't be excluded, restricted or changed by agreement. If you live outside Australia, you may also have rights under your local consumer law that these terms can't take away. Every part of these terms applies only as far as the law allows.

11. Limits on our responsibility

As far as the law allows:

• we give no promises or guarantees about Hangxiety Society other than those in these terms or that the law says must apply;
• we aren't responsible for anything you or anyone else does or doesn't do on a sesh, including drinking, travel and getting home, or for any check-in, bump or reminder that was missed, delayed or didn't work;
• we aren't responsible for what other people post, for debts between friends, or for anything to do with venues, transport or services run by other people;
• we aren't responsible for any indirect or consequential loss, or any loss of data, opportunity or enjoyment;
• otherwise, our total responsibility to you for everything to do with Hangxiety Society is limited to the greater of what you paid us for it in the 12 months before the claim (nothing, while it's free) and AUD $50.

None of this limits your rights in section 10, or our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit.

12. If you misuse Hangxiety Society

As far as the law allows, if you break section 2 or section 6, or use Hangxiety Society unlawfully, and that causes someone else to make a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable loss and costs your breach causes us. This doesn't apply to the extent that we caused or contributed to the loss.

13. If something goes wrong: talk to us first

1. Tell us. Email welcome@myspencer.ai with what happened and what you'd like us to do.
2. Try to fix it together. We'll both try in good faith to sort it out within 30 days of your email.
3. Mediation. If it's still not sorted, either of us can ask for mediation with an independent mediator in Victoria (for example through the Resolution Institute), with each side paying its own costs and the mediator's fees shared equally.

We ask both sides to follow these steps before going to court. They don't stop you from contacting a consumer protection agency or ombudsman, complaining to a regulator, going to a small claims court or tribunal, or asking a court for urgent help at any time.

14. Apple and the App Store

These terms are the licence for the app. Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where the two differ, these terms apply between you and us. If you got Hangxiety Society from Apple's App Store:

• these terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content;
• your licence is limited to using the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms (including Family Sharing where it applies);
• we, not Apple, are responsible for maintenance and support (see our support page). Apple has no duty to provide any;
• if the app fails to meet any warranty that applies, you can tell Apple, and Apple will refund any price you paid for it (the app is free). As far as the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app, and any other claims, losses, costs or expenses from such a failure are our responsibility, under these terms;
• we, not Apple, deal with any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws;
• if anyone claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and resolving that claim;
• you confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or listed by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
• you must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your mobile or internet provider's;
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, once you accept them, can enforce them against you.

Questions, complaints or claims about the app go to us: SPENCER AI (ABN 31 978 335 623), Victoria, Australia, welcome@myspencer.ai.

15. General

• Law. These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia. Courts in Victoria can hear disputes about them, but you can also use the courts where you live if your local law gives you that right.
• Changes to these terms. We may update these terms, for example when the app changes or the law does. We'll update the date at the top and, for a big change, let you know in the app. A change won't apply to anything that happened before it. If you don't agree with a change, you can stop using Hangxiety Society and delete it.
• If part doesn't work. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, it's cut back only as much as needed, and the rest still applies.
• No waiver. If we don't enforce something straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• The whole agreement. These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Hangxiety Society.
• Moving the agreement. We may transfer these terms to another business that takes over Hangxiety Society, as long as your rights under them stay the same.
