You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if lower), you may only use the Service under the supervision and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.
3. Account Registration and Contact Information
To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account and provide certain personal information, which may include your name, phone number, email address, and other contact details ("Contact Information"). You agree to:

As part of the account creation process, Fribee uses your phone number to send a one-time SMS verification code ("Verification Code") for the sole purpose of confirming your identity and completing account registration. By providing your phone number and requesting a Verification Code, you expressly consent to receive this one-time automated text message from or on behalf of Fribee.
- Purpose: Verification Codes are used exclusively for account creation and identity verification. They are not used for marketing, promotional, or any other purpose.
- Message frequency: You will receive a single Verification Code message per verification attempt. Message frequency may vary if you request a new code.
- Message and data rates: Standard message and data rates charged by your mobile carrier may apply.
- Consent: Consent to receive a Verification Code is required in order to complete account creation, as it is necessary to verify your identity and secure your account.
- Carrier liability: Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
- Support: If you have questions about SMS verification, contact us at Fribee@sera.dev.
