Terms of Use

Last updated November 4, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Matlas ("we"). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Matlas.

No tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users

Matlas has no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You may not post, send or upload anything, in your profile, posts, comments, messages or photos, that:

• harasses, threatens, bullies or intimidates anyone, or encourages self-harm;
• attacks people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics;
• is sexually explicit, or shares nudity or intimate images of anyone without their consent, including images made with AI;
• sexualizes, exploits or endangers a minor in any way;
• shares someone's private information, such as their home address, without their consent;
• is spam or a scam, impersonates someone, or misleads people about where a session is;
• promotes violence outside of consensual training, or breaks the law.

Offering, arranging or soliciting sexual activity, and any contact meant to groom or exploit a minor, is banned. We remove child sexual abuse material and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

How we enforce this

We filter some words automatically. You can report a person, post, comment or message from inside the app, and block anyone. We review reports within 24 hours. If something breaks these rules we remove it, and we can suspend or permanently remove the account that posted it, with or without warning.

Who can use Matlas

You must be at least 16, and give true information about your age. You may have one account, and you're responsible for what happens on it, so keep your password safe.

Your content

What you post stays yours. You give us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy and show it, only so we can run Matlas. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for things others already saved and the records described in our Privacy Policy. You confirm you have the right to post what you post.

Training and meeting people

Grappling is a contact sport, and it carries a real risk of injury. You train at your own risk. Matlas helps people find each other but isn't a party to any session, doesn't run any gym, and doesn't check who people are or their qualifications. Use your judgment, especially when meeting someone new or going somewhere that isn't a gym. Gym details and schedules may be out of date, so check with the gym before you go. If you're in danger, call your local emergency number.

Using the app properly

Don't misuse Matlas, such as by scraping it, getting around its limits, or interfering with how it works. Check-ins are for when you're really there.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app, under Settings, Account, Delete account. We can suspend or end your access if you break these terms.

No warranty, and limits on our liability

Matlas is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential damages, for injuries from training or for what other users do, and our total liability for any claim is limited to $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

Apple

If you got Matlas from Apple, these terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app, its content, its maintenance or support, or any claims about it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as the App Store's terms allow.

General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules. If part of them can't be enforced, the rest still applies. We may change these terms, and if a change matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. Keeping on using Matlas after that means you accept the change.
