Peekaboo Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 4, 2025

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Metasource Limited ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), a company incorporated in Hong Kong with registered address at 610 Nathan Road, Hollywood Plaza, Mongkok, Hong Kong, governing your use of the Peekaboo mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App" or "Service").

The App operates under the trading names "Peekaboo", "Peekaboo App", and via the domain "peekabootribe.com".

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE APP, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT USE THE APP.

2. Description of Service

Peekaboo is a social networking platform designed to facilitate connections between parents and guardians to organize meetings, playdates, events, and activities involving their young children. The App provides features including but not limited to:

  • User profiles and account creation
  • Event creation, organization, and management tools
  • Messaging and communication features between users
  • Photo and media sharing capabilities
  • Location sharing and geographic features
  • Community building and social networking tools
  • User reporting and blocking functionality

IMPORTANT: THE APP IS A PLATFORM ONLY. We facilitate connections between users but do not organize, supervise, endorse, or take responsibility for any meetings, events, or interactions that occur between users, whether online or offline. All arrangements made through the App are solely between individual users.

3. User Eligibility and Account Registration

3.1 Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use the App. The App is intended for use by parents, guardians, and caregivers of young children. Children are not permitted to create accounts or use the App independently.

3.3 Identity Verification (Optional Premium Feature)

We may offer an optional identity verification service for a fee, processed through the Apple App Store. This verification may require you to upload government-issued identification and a selfie photograph. Verification is optional and does not guarantee the safety, trustworthiness, or suitability of any user. Verified status is merely a confirmation that submitted documentation appears to match the account holder and does not constitute any endorsement or warranty by the Company.
