1. Introduction
1.1 PairPoint ("PairPoint," "we," "us," "our") is an online platform operated by AsyncOrigins LTD, providing location-based networking and communication services ("Services") to its registered members ("Members," "you," "your"). These Terms govern your use of PairPoint and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and PairPoint.

The chosen profile visibility setting in real-time determines how it appears to others initially in the location history. Users can switch between settings (locked, hidden, or visible) at any time in the location history. Each Member is free to interact and build relationships with other Members in accordance with these Terms of Service and applicable laws.
