(2) Users may, where the Contest permits, rate other Users' submissions on a 0–10 scale ("Peer Rating"). Users cannot rate their own submissions.

Coins do not constitute stored value, prepaid payment instrument, or any regulated financial instrument under applicable law.

(3) Coins may be used within the Platform for features, cosmetic items, entries, and other virtual goods as the Company may make available from time to time.

The purchase of Coins does not create any deposit, custody, escrow, or fiduciary obligation on the Company.

The Company shall not be responsible or liable for any act, omission, failure, delay, interruption, security issue, or data handling practices of any payment provider, banking institution, or payment network.

5.4 Subscriptions

(1) Users may subscribe to Premium or Pro tiers on a recurring (monthly, quarterly, annual, or other) basis as offered on the Platform. (2) By subscribing, the User authorizes the Company (through Third-party) to charge the applicable recurring fee, plus applicable taxes (including GST), to the User's selected payment instrument for each renewal period until the Subscription is cancelled.

The Company may change Subscription pricing or features with reasonable advance notice; changes will apply to the next renewal period.

6. MESSAGING AND CALLS

6.1 Overview

(1) The Platform provides one-on-one and group messaging, media sharing, polls, and voice and video calls. Messaging is secured using end-to-end encryption.

6.2 End-to-End Encryption

(1) Messages and calls between Users are protected by end-to-end encryption based on the Signal Protocol (or a functionally equivalent protocol), with device key management performed on-device. (2) The Company's servers relay and store encrypted ciphertext only. The Company does not have access to the content of end-to-end encrypted messages or calls. (3) Because the Company cannot read E2E content, it is unable to proactively moderate the substance of private communications. Users are solely responsible for content they send and receive in private chats. (4) Certain metadata (such as participant identifiers, timestamps, delivery status, and technical logs) may be processed by the Company for the operation of the Service, as further described in the Privacy Policy.

6.3 Message Features

(1) The Platform supports message editing, forwarding, drafts, read receipts, typing indicators, link previews, media sharing (photos, videos, files), poll creation in groups, and disappearing messages with a configurable auto-delete duration. (2) Disappearing messages are removed from the Platform's servers and from sender/recipient caches after the configured duration. The Company cannot guarantee deletion of content that has been screenshotted, copied, forwarded, or otherwise exported from the encrypted session by any participant. (3) Chat messages may be cached locally on the User's device (for example, via SQLite) to enable offline access and faster load times. The User is responsible for securing their device.

6.4 Calls

(1) The Platform supports one-on-one and group voice and video calls via an integrated real-time media streaming layer (currently provided by LiveKit or an equivalent provider). (2) Call signaling, media routing, and related technical metadata may be processed by the Company and its media-streaming provider. Call media between Users is E2E encrypted except where explicitly stated otherwise in-app (for example, server-side features such as transcoding, if and when offered). (3) Call history (incoming, outgoing, missed, duration, timestamps) is stored for the User's convenience. Users may clear their call history through the Platform. (4) On supported platforms, the Platform integrates with native call UI (iOS CallKit and Android telephony) for lock-screen and foreground call management. Such integration is governed by the underlying operating system's policies. (5) The Platform does not and cannot be used to place emergency calls. Users must rely on their mobile carrier or landline to contact emergency services. The Company expressly disclaims all liability for any loss, injury, harm, or damage arising from a User's inability to place an emergency call through the Platform.

6.5 Zero Tolerance for Illegal Activity.

The Company maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards the use of messaging, voice calling, video calling, or any other communication feature of the Platform for any illegal, fraudulent, or unlawful activity. Any such use, including, without limitation, threats, extortion, harassment, stalking, child sexual abuse material, terrorism-related communications, sale or trafficking of illegal goods or services, fraud, impersonation, intellectual-property infringement, or violation of any applicable law of India or of the User's jurisdiction, shall constitute a material breach of these Terms and shall result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of the offending User's Account, forfeiture of any associated balances and Rewards, and reporting of the activity and the User's information to the appropriate law-enforcement, regulatory, or judicial authorities. The Company reserves the right to initiate or assist in any civil, criminal, or other legal action against such Users to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the offending User shall be solely liable for all consequences arising therefrom.

6.6 User Responsibility for Communications

(1) Users are solely responsible for all messages, calls, media, polls, and other communications they initiate, send, receive, or participate in through the Platform. (2) Users shall not use messaging or calling features to transmit unlawful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, or otherwise prohibited content, as further detailed in Section 9.5. (3) Users may report abuse of messaging or calling features to the Company through in-app reporting tools. For E2E content, reporting requires the reporting User to voluntarily share the relevant decrypted content with the Company for review.

6.7 Lawful Disclosure and Interception

(1) Notwithstanding the end-to-end encryption protections described in Section 6.2, the Company shall comply with lawful orders, directions, summons, or requests issued by competent governmental, regulatory, judicial, or law-enforcement authorities under applicable law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 (and rules thereunder), the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (and its successor enactments), and the DPDP Act. (2) In response to such lawful process, the Company will provide such metadata, account information, technical logs, and other data as is within its possession or control. By reason of E2E encryption, the Company is not technically able to produce the plaintext content of E2E messages or call media; this technical limitation shall not be construed as a refusal to comply with lawful process. (3) Where permitted by law, the Company may notify affected Users of such requests; in other cases, the Company is bound by confidentiality requirements imposed by the requesting authority and shall comply accordingly. (4) Users acknowledge that the Company may also disclose information without notice where it has a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm, fraud, or unlawful activity.

7. SOCIAL AND DISCOVERY

7.1 Friends and Suggestions

(1) The Platform provides a friend system allowing Users to send, accept, and manage friend requests, with related notifications. (2) The Platform may suggest potential friends using signals such as mutual connections, Contest activity, interests, and, where the User has granted permission, approximate location or synced contacts. Suggestion algorithms may be updated from time to time.

7.2 Contact Sync

(1) Users may optionally allow the Platform to access their device address book to identify contacts already using the Platform. Contact sync is strictly opt-in and can be disabled at any time in the Platform or device settings. (2) If the User enables contact sync, limited contact information (such as hashed phone numbers) may be transmitted to the Company to perform matching. Users must not enable contact sync if they do not have the necessary consent from the relevant contacts under applicable data-protection laws.

7.3 User Search and Presence

(1) Users may search for other Users by username and view limited profile previews. Real-time online/offline presence indicators may be visible to contacts; Users may adjust presence visibility settings where offered.

7.4 Block and Unblock

(1) Users may block other Users to prevent messaging, calling, and certain forms of interaction. Users may unblock previously blocked Users at any time. Blocking is a personal remedy and does not replace the Company's moderation process for serious violations.

8. INCOGNITO MODE

8.1 Nature of Incognito Mode

(1) Incognito Mode allows Users to browse, match with other Users, create and interact with anonymous posts (including hashtags, upvotes, downvotes, and comments), chat with anonymously matched Users, and browse a feed of anonymous video content and reactions, under a pseudonymous identity that is not displayed to other Users.

8.2 Anonymity Is Not Untraceability

(1) Users expressly acknowledge that Incognito Mode hides a User's public identity from other Users but does not make the User's activity untraceable to the Company. (2) The Company retains the ability to link Incognito activity to the underlying User account for purposes of safety, abuse prevention, Content moderation, enforcement of these Terms, fraud detection, compliance with law, and response to lawful requests from law-enforcement or judicial authorities. (3) By using Incognito Mode, Users consent to such linkage and de-anonymization, solely for the limited purposes described in this Section.

8.3 Prohibited Content and Conduct in Incognito Mode

(1) All restrictions in Section 9.5 apply with full force to Incognito Mode. In addition, the following are strictly prohibited: (i) Any content that sexualizes, grooms, endangers, or otherwise harms minors, including but not limited to child sexual abuse material (CSAM); (ii) Non-consensual intimate imagery, sexual extortion, or doxxing; (iii) Incitement to violence, terrorism, self-harm, or suicide; (iv) Harassment, stalking, or targeted abuse of identifiable individuals; (v) Sale or promotion of illegal goods or services (including narcotics, weapons, and stolen credentials); (vi) Impersonation of real persons, including public figures; and (vii) Any activity prohibited by applicable Indian law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules made thereunder.

(2) Violation of this Section will result in immediate removal of content, suspension or termination of the underlying account, forfeiture of all Coins and Subscription benefits, and referral to law-enforcement authorities where appropriate.

8.4 Reporting in Incognito Mode

(1) Users may report abusive or unlawful Incognito content or conduct through in-app reporting tools. The Company will review reports and take such action as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including but not limited to content removal, de-anonymization for enforcement purposes, and account action.

9. CONTENT, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND USER OBLIGATIONS

9.1 User-Generated Content

(1) The Platform allows Users to upload, share, submit, and transmit photographs, videos, captions, comments, messages, polls, ratings, and related material (collectively, "User Content").

(2) By submitting User Content, the User represents and warrants that: (i) They are the sole creator and owner of the Content, or hold all necessary licenses, consents, and rights to use and submit it; (ii) The Content does not infringe upon any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any other rights of any third party; (iii) The Content is not defamatory, obscene, unlawful, harmful, or otherwise prohibited under applicable law or these Terms; and (iv) Any individuals identifiable in the Content have given the necessary consent, in particular for Contest submissions made public on leaderboards or used in marketing.

(3) Users remain solely responsible for their User Content and any consequences of its use, publication, or distribution on the Platform.

9.2 License Granted by Users

(1) By uploading User Content to non-E2E surfaces of the Platform (such as Contest submissions, leaderboards, Incognito posts, profile photos, and public feeds), the User grants the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, display, publish, reproduce, distribute, communicate, and make available such Content on the Platform.
