IBETA · PRELAUNCH WEBSITE

Website Terms of Use

Acceptance of these terms

By using this prelaunch website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

IBETA is in development

IBETA is not yet a publicly available travel application. Website descriptions, concept visuals, destinations, features, launch timing, and pricing are preliminary and may change, be delayed, or not be released.

Mission and inclusive access

IBETA is intentionally designed around the travel experiences, safety concerns, cultural needs, and perspectives of Black women and women of color. This mission describes the focus of the product and does not restrict access based on race, color, ethnicity, or another protected characteristic. IBETA welcomes all travelers and provides access to its website, products, services, and opportunities without unlawful discrimination based on any characteristic protected by applicable law.

AI features and regional availability

Planned AI features may not be available in every country or region. IBETA may limit, modify, suspend, or disable AI features when required by applicable laws, regulations, platform requirements, provider restrictions, or technical limitations. Availability may change without notice as legal and technical requirements evolve.

Planned Voice Safety Mode and Voice-Activated SOS

Voice Safety Mode and Voice-Activated SOS are planned features and are not currently available through this prelaunch website. If introduced in the IBETA mobile app, the user will need to opt in and explicitly start a Voice Safety Mode session. While the session is active, saying “IBETA” followed by a default or personalized safety phrase may begin the selected SOS workflow. A one-tap or other non-voice activation method may also be provided.

Using Voice Safety Mode may require the user to keep the app open or in a supported background state and grant microphone, speech-recognition, location, notification, Bluetooth, connected-device, or background-operation permissions. By enabling the feature, the user authorizes IBETA and its service providers to process information as described in the Privacy Policy and in any notices presented when the feature is activated.

The user is responsible for choosing and protecting any personalized safety phrase, maintaining compatible devices and required permissions, confirming that emergency-contact information is accurate, and informing emergency contacts that their information has been provided to IBETA. A user must have the legal right or permission to provide another person’s contact information.

Voice recognition may misunderstand speech, fail to detect a safety phrase, or activate unintentionally. Alerts or requests may be delayed, incomplete, misdirected, or not transmitted or received because the safety session is inactive; the app is closed, inactive, or suspended; the operating system restricts background microphone use; or because of background noise, speech differences, device settings, low battery, lack of connectivity, incompatible hardware, service outages, local restrictions, or other technical conditions. When circumstances allow, users should review any confirmation or cancellation option shown by IBETA and verify that an intended alert was sent.

Voice Safety Mode is not an always-listening service. IBETA does not promise continuous monitoring, guaranteed detection, automatic emergency dispatch, or a response from an emergency contact or public authority. Users should not rely on Voice-Activated SOS as their only safety method.

Not emergency or professional advice

IBETA and this website do not provide emergency response, medical care, legal advice, security services, transportation, or government services. In an emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency service. Always consult official government travel advisories, embassies, healthcare professionals, and other qualified sources.

No guarantee of safety or accuracy

Travel involves risk. Information may become outdated or incomplete, and no website or application can guarantee personal safety, prevent harm, or ensure a particular travel outcome. You remain responsible for your decisions, preparations, and compliance with local laws.

Intellectual property

The IBETA name, website design, copy, graphics, concepts, and other materials are owned by or licensed to The Immersive Black Travel Experience LLC and may not be copied, distributed, modified, or used commercially without written permission.

Acceptable use

You may not interfere with the website, attempt unauthorized access, introduce harmful code, misuse forms, impersonate another person, scrape protected content, intentionally trigger false SOS alerts, use an SOS feature to harass or deceive another person, or use the website or any future IBETA feature unlawfully.

Third-party services and links

The website and future IBETA features may reference or depend on third-party services, devices, data, maps, communications networks, emergency resources, or links. We do not control or endorse every third-party resource and are not responsible for its availability, content, privacy practices, accuracy, response, or performance.

Third-party communities and personal interactions

IBETA may help users discover or connect with independent Black women and women of color expat communities, organizations, online groups, and individuals in supported destinations. These communities and their members are not owned, operated, supervised, controlled, or employed by IBETA. Unless expressly stated, inclusion on IBETA does not constitute an endorsement, certification, background check, or guarantee of any person, organization, advice, activity, or experience.

Communicating with, participating in activities with, or meeting any community, organization, or individual is voluntary and is the user’s own choice. IBETA does not arrange, supervise, monitor, or provide security for these meetings and cannot guarantee any person’s identity, intentions, conduct, or safety.

Users are responsible for evaluating community information, deciding whether to communicate with or meet another person, remaining aware of their surroundings, choosing appropriate meeting locations and transportation, informing someone they trust, taking reasonable personal-safety precautions, and complying with applicable laws. Each user is responsible for her own statements, decisions, conduct, and interactions. If a user feels unsafe or faces an emergency, she should leave the situation when possible and contact the appropriate local emergency service.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, IBETA is not responsible for a user’s personal safety during an independent community interaction or meetup, the conduct of independent community members, or injury, loss, fraud, harassment, discrimination, property damage, or other harm arising from communications, meetings, activities, advice, or relationships involving third parties. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Disclaimer and limitation

To the extent permitted by law, the website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties. The Immersive Black Travel Experience LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of this prelaunch website.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as IBETA develops. Questions may be sent to hello@ibetaapp.com.
