Ltd., a company incorporated in India with registered office at Desk Besides the Laundry pile, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (hereinafter "THaF", "we", "us", "our"), governing your access to and use of the THaF mobile application and related backend services (collectively, the "Service").

2. About THaF
THaF is a riding companion app that helps small, invitation-based groups of riders coordinate group trips — referred to in the app as "circles", "trips", and "events" — to:
- exchange messages (with optional end-to-end encryption);
- share live location with one another while a trip session is active;
- store and (when needed) surface a medical / SOS card to emergency contacts;
- record and split shared expenses informally; and
- coordinate plans through groups, trips, and events they create or are invited to.
THaF is not a payment-processing service, money-transmission service, financial institution, courier, navigation/turn-by-turn service, emergency-response service, ride-hailing service, or healthcare service. The medical card is an information-only feature designed to assist first responders — it does not summon help on your behalf.
