Terms of use

Who can use Next Area

You must be 18 or older. Next Area is for returned missionaries and young adults. Crews are always just friends; socials are a separate area, off unless you turn them on.

Independent

Next Area is an independent app. It is not made, approved, or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Intellectual Reserve, Inc.

Community standards

Be kind. No harassment, explicit content, scams or pressure. Meet at public places, respect “no”, and keep other people’s private things private. We may remove content or accounts that break these standards.

Your content

You own what you post. You give us permission to show it to the people you share it with, only to run the app.

Safety

We work hard to keep crews safe (ID verification, public first meetups, reporting), but you are responsible for your own choices when meeting people. In an emergency, call 911.

Not professional advice

Ask Next Area, real-life programs and AI features give general information, not medical, mental health, legal, financial or doctrinal advice. Next Area is not therapy.

Plus and gifts

Plus subscriptions renew until you cancel through Apple or Google. Your first month of Plus after sign-up is free and simply ends; nothing is charged. Gifts (a Homecoming Year with 12 months of Plus and 3 nights out, or a year of Plus) are redeemed on our website; unredeemed codes expire after 24 months. Refunds follow Apple, Google and Stripe rules.

Nights out and socials

Seats are paid by card when you book. Cancel at least 24 hours before for a full refund (or your free night back); later than that, there is no refund. If we cancel a night, everyone is refunded in full. Socials are only for people who turned them on and verified their ID, and are always at public places. Treat everyone with respect; we may remove anyone who doesn’t.

Changes and ending

We may update these terms and will tell you about important changes. You can delete your account any time.
