These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Groovr mobile application (“App”) operated by Groovr (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using Groovr, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Groovr is a social platform that connects vinyl record collectors to arrange in-person swaps of physical records they own. Groovr does not sell records, stream music, or act as a party to any transaction or exchange between users. We are solely a facilitator of introductions between collectors.
To use Groovr you must:
By registering, you represent that you meet all eligibility requirements above.
You must create an account to use most features of Groovr. You agree to:
You may only hold one account. Duplicate accounts may be suspended or merged without notice.
This is the most important section — please read it carefully.
Groovr provides a platform for users to discover other collectors and arrange voluntary exchanges of physical records. Groovr:
Ownership. By listing a record, you represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner, have the right to offer it for swap, and that it is not stolen, counterfeit, or a bootleg.
Accurate Descriptions. You agree to describe records accurately, including condition using recognised grading standards (e.g. Mint, Near Mint, Very Good Plus). Misrepresentation may result in account suspension.
Photos & Content. When you upload photos or content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display and distribute that content within the App and in promotional materials. You retain all ownership rights.
Groovr may retrieve album artwork from Discogs via its API for identification purposes. This artwork remains the property of the respective rights holders. Our use of the Discogs API is subject to the Discogs API Terms of Use. If you upload artwork yourself, you represent that you own it or have written permission from the rights holder.
When you meet in person to exchange records, you do so at your own risk. We strongly recommend:

Zero-Tolerance Policy for Objectionable Content and Abusive Users
Groovr has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior. You agree not to post, share, or transmit any content — including listings, photos, messages, usernames, or profile information — that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, hateful, defamatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable, and not to harass, threaten, impersonate, or abuse other users.
Every listing is reviewed by our moderation queue before it appears in Discover. You can report any listing, message, profile, or user from the “⋯” menu, and you can block any user at any time. We review reports and will remove offending content and eject the user who provided it within 24 hours of becoming aware of a violation. By creating an account you accept this policy as a condition of using Groovr.
Groovr is not a mediator or arbitrator of disputes between users. If you have a dispute with another user, we encourage you to resolve it directly and in good faith. Groovr may, at its sole discretion, investigate reported misconduct and suspend or terminate accounts found to be acting in bad faith. Groovr has no obligation to intervene in any dispute.
