TanoChat Terms and Conditions

License to use the Application

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on a supported mobile device for personal and non-commercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law.

Intellectual Property

The Service Provider retains all intellectual property rights in the Application, including its code, design, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, branding, and original service content (the "IP").

Nothing in these Terms grants you any license or right to use the Service Provider's trademarks, logos, or branding except as necessary for ordinary use of the Application. You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices displayed in or on the Application.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of User-Generated Content to the Service Provider.

Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally permitted to use the Application in your jurisdiction.

The Application is not available to anyone under 18, even with permission or agreement from a parent or legal guardian. A user who does not meet the minimum-age requirement may not create or use an account.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate information when creating and maintaining your account
• Keep your authentication credentials and mobile device secure
• Not share, sell, transfer, or allow another person to use your account
• Notify the Service Provider if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization
• Maintain only accounts that you are legally authorized to use

The Service Provider may require you to complete a profile before using group-matching features. Required profile information includes a nickname, birth year, gender, and introduction. Optional information may include your current activity, city, location, and profile image.

Service Functionality

TanoChat is a social service that allows adult users to meet through small-group games and conversations.

The Application does not provide unsolicited one-to-one matching, direct-interest messages, or direct messaging before both users have established a friendship through the Application's group-session process.

The Application may:

• Propose a group of users based on predetermined eligibility and matching rules
• Ask each proposed participant to accept or skip the proposal
• Create a group only when the required participation and composition conditions are satisfied
• Provide group games, group conversation, AI-generated introductions, and session-completion features
• Allow a user to send a friend request to one eligible participant after completing the same group session
• Create or open a one-to-one conversation only after a friend request has been accepted and a user chooses to start messaging
• Allow eligible remaining group members to agree to another game in the same group conversation

A group proposal, successful match, particular group composition, friend request, friendship, response from another user, or continued availability of a conversation is not guaranteed.

You may participate in only one active group game at a time. Proposals, searches, games, friend requests, and rematch requests may expire or become unavailable under the rules displayed in the Application.

The Service Provider may refuse or cancel a match, proposal, friend request, message, or other interaction when eligibility, account status, blocking, safety, availability, or technical requirements are not satisfied.

Termination

The Service Provider may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Application when reasonably necessary because of:

• A material or repeated breach of these Terms
• Illegal activity
• Fraud, payment abuse, or misuse of participation credits
• Intellectual-property infringement
• Harassment, threats, sexual content, violence, spam, impersonation, or other harmful conduct
• Conduct that creates a safety or security risk for another user, the Application, or the Service Provider
• A legal, regulatory, or platform requirement

Where appropriate and required by applicable law, the Service Provider may provide notice or an opportunity to respond. Immediate restriction or suspension may be applied where reasonably necessary to protect users, preserve evidence, prevent further harm, investigate suspected abuse, or comply with law.

Warnings recorded through the Application's internal moderation system may be used as internal administrative records and are not necessarily delivered as user notifications.

Upon termination, your right to use the Application ends. Termination does not require deletion of the Application from your device to become effective, although you should uninstall it if you no longer intend to use it.

Termination or account deletion does not eliminate provisions that by their nature should continue, including intellectual-property provisions, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, dispute provisions, and lawful data-retention obligations.

User-Generated Content and Acceptable Use

The Application allows users to create, submit, send, display, or upload content, including nicknames, introductions, profile information, profile images, messages, reactions, report descriptions, and other communications ("User-Generated Content").

You agree not to submit content that:

• Is illegal or infringes third-party intellectual-property rights, including copyright, trademark, or patent rights
• Is abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, hateful, or discriminatory
• Encourages violence, self-harm, exploitation, or illegal activity
• Is spam, phishing, malware, fraudulent, or commercially deceptive
• Impersonates another person or misrepresents your identity
• Violates another person's privacy or personal-data rights
• Contains another person's contact information or personal data without authorization
• Attempts to exchange prohibited contact information or circumvent Application safety controls
• Contains explicit sexual content, sexual exploitation, or graphic violence
• Exploits, endangers, sexualizes, or otherwise harms a minor
• Interferes with the operation, security, or integrity of the Application

There is no age-gated exception permitting explicit sexual content merely because the Application is limited to adult users.

The Service Provider reserves the right to:

• Reject, filter, mask, hide, remove, or disable access to content that violates these Terms, applicable law, or applicable platform policies
• Prevent content from being delivered while a safety review is pending
• Suspend or terminate accounts that materially or repeatedly violate these Terms
• Preserve and review limited evidence when a report is submitted
• Cooperate with law enforcement or other authorities where legally required
• Use automated tools to assist with content-safety classification and administrative review

Text and image content may be subject to different safety checks. An uploaded profile or message image may remain unavailable to other users until it passes the applicable safety review.

Safety systems may fail to identify every violation. The availability or delivery of content does not mean that the Service Provider endorses it or has determined that it complies with these Terms.

Visibility of Content

User-Generated Content is not necessarily visible to the general public. Its visibility depends on the relevant feature.

For example:

• Your nickname, avatar, age group, introduction, optional current activity, optional city, account-creation month, and completed group-session count may be displayed as part of your public profile to other authenticated users
• Proposal-time profile information may be shown to proposed group participants
• Group messages and game content may be visible to eligible members of that group
• One-to-one messages are visible only to the relevant conversation participants, subject to safety and administrative access
• Certain individual selections may be revealed to group participants as part of the rules of a game
• Individual cooperative-quiz answers are not displayed to other participants
• Reports and limited related evidence may be reviewed by authorized administrators and service providers

Do not submit content that you are not authorized or prepared to share with the intended recipients of the relevant feature.

Reports, Blocking, and Moderation

You may report another user or particular content through the Application where the reporting feature is available. Reports may include a selected reason, an optional explanation, a referenced message, and limited surrounding context necessary to evaluate the report.

Submitting an in-app report also blocks the reported user as described in the Application.

You may separately block another user without submitting a report. Blocking may prevent new matching, friend requests, friendships, one-to-one messages, or notifications between the affected users. In an existing group, the Application may hide the blocked user's messages without removing the entire group.

The Service Provider may review reported content, obtain AI-generated classification or summaries, and take appropriate administrative action. AI outputs are recommendations or review aids only. The Application does not impose permanent moderation sanctions solely through an automated AI decision.

The reporting user does not receive the detailed processing status or result of an in-app report. This does not limit any information or remedy that must be provided under applicable law.

A user affected by a content or account restriction may contact playkorkis@gmail.com. The availability and scope of a review or appeal will depend on applicable law, the nature of the action, safety requirements, and the information that can lawfully be disclosed.

License for User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of User-Generated Content you submit.

By submitting User-Generated Content, you grant the Service Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use that content only as reasonably necessary to:

• Operate and provide the Application
• Deliver the content to its intended recipients
• Perform safety checks and moderation
• Investigate reports and enforce these Terms
• Maintain, secure, and improve the technical operation of the Application
• Comply with legal obligations

This license does not grant the Service Provider the right to sell your content or independently sublicense it for unrelated commercial purposes.

The license ends when the content is deleted from the Application's active systems, except where continued retention is reasonably necessary for backups, report evidence, security, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or other purposes described in the Privacy Policy.

You represent that you own or control the rights necessary to submit the content and that its use as described in these Terms does not violate applicable law or another person's rights.

User-Generated Content may contain personal data. Processing of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy.

Fees, Participation Credits, and Purchases

The Service Provider may offer free, advertising-supported, or paid participation credits that allow users to participate in additional newly formed group sessions.

The initial service configuration provides one free newly formed group session per UTC calendar day. This amount may be adjusted as part of the service configuration, subject to applicable law and appropriate notice where required.

A participation credit is consumed only when a group is successfully formed and a group room is created for the user. A credit is not consumed merely because a user:

• Starts or cancels a search
• Waits for a proposal
• Skips a proposal
• Does not respond to a proposal
• Experiences a proposal failure or expiration
• Cannot be matched because there are not enough eligible users

When applicable, participation is consumed in the following order: available free participation, advertising-earned participation, and purchased participation.

An additional game started by unanimous agreement of eligible remaining members in the same group room does not consume another participation credit.

Rewarded advertising may grant participation credits only after the advertising reward has been verified. Merely viewing or clicking a banner or native advertisement does not grant a participation credit. Advertising rewards may be subject to a daily limit.

Paid participation credits are consumable digital items. Products initially offered may include packages of 1, 5, or 10 participation credits. The price, currency, package availability, and any displayed discount are determined using the current information provided by Google Play or the Apple App Store and may vary by country or platform.

The price displayed by the applicable application store at the time of purchase controls. Purchases may be processed and validated through the application store and RevenueCat.

A payment confirmation displayed by the store does not by itself determine the Application balance. The participation credit is added after the purchase is verified by the Service Provider's systems.

Refunds, cancellations, payment-method disputes, and other purchase rights are subject to applicable law and the policies of the application store through which the purchase was made. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer right.

Participation credits:

• Have no cash value
• Cannot be sold or transferred between users
• Cannot be redeemed for money
• May be removed if they were obtained through fraud, duplicate processing, an invalid transaction, a refunded transaction, or abuse of the payment or advertising system
• Remain associated with the relevant account and may become unavailable when the account is deleted

The Service Provider will clearly display applicable charges before a purchase is confirmed.

Privacy and Account Security

The Application stores and processes personal data to provide its services. Personal-data collection, visibility, AI processing, external processors, retention, and deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for maintaining reasonable security over your mobile device, authentication credentials, and access to the Application.

The Service Provider strongly advises against jailbreaking or rooting your mobile device. Such actions may expose your device to malware, compromise security features, or cause the Application to malfunction.

Third Party Services

The Application may rely on third-party services, including:

• Google Play Services
• Firebase
• AdMob
• Google Analytics for Firebase
• Firebase Crashlytics
• RevenueCat
• OpenAI
• Apple, when Apple authentication, distribution, or payment services are used

Third-party services are governed by their own applicable terms and policies. The Service Provider does not control every aspect of such services and is not responsible for an independent third party's acts or omissions beyond the extent required by applicable law.

Internet and Device Requirements

Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, which may be provided through Wi-Fi or your mobile network.

The Service Provider is not responsible for reduced functionality caused by a lack of network access, insufficient data allowance, an unsupported device, or circumstances outside the Service Provider's reasonable control.

When using the Application outside a Wi-Fi area, your mobile network provider's terms apply. You may incur data, roaming, or other charges from your provider. You are responsible for such charges.

If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you use the Application, you represent that you have permission from the bill payer to incur applicable data charges.

You are responsible for keeping your device sufficiently charged, maintaining a supported operating-system version, and installing required Application updates.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under applicable consumer-protection laws that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption, arising from use of or inability to use the Application.

The Service Provider does not guarantee:

• That a group, friendship, or conversation will be successfully created
• That other users will respond, remain in a group, or comply with these Terms
• That all inappropriate content will be detected before it is displayed
• That the Application will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device
• That AI-generated content will always be complete, accurate, or appropriate

The Service Provider remains liable for:

• Death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot be excluded
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
• Intentional misconduct or gross negligence where applicable
• Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of the Service Provider for a claim shall not exceed the amount paid by you to the Service Provider through the Application during the 12 months preceding the claim, or the minimum liability required by applicable law, whichever is greater.

If you have not paid for the Application, liability is limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The Service Provider is not liable for losses resulting solely from inaccurate information supplied by another user or independent third party, except to the extent the Service Provider has a non-waivable legal responsibility.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses arising directly from:

• Your intentional misuse of the Application
• User-Generated Content you knowingly submit without the necessary rights
• Your material breach of these Terms
• Your violation of applicable law or another person's rights

This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from the Service Provider's own negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law. In jurisdictions where consumer indemnification is restricted, this clause applies only to the maximum extent permitted.

Artificial Intelligence

The Application uses AI for limited group-introduction, content-safety, and moderation-support functions.

AI may process proposal-time public profile snapshots to produce a group title, shared-interest introduction, or light conversation topics. AI must not infer sensitive characteristics, personality, compatibility, popularity, or romantic suitability from profile information.

AI is not used to select or re-rank matching candidates.

Group content may be processed where necessary for group introduction, progression, conversation support, and safety. One-to-one friend messages are not used for AI conversation analysis, although safety checks may still be applied to uploaded content.

AI may also assist with nickname or image safety checks and may classify or summarize reports for authorized administrators. AI does not automatically impose permanent sanctions. Moderation decisions remain subject to administrative review as described above.

AI output may contain mistakes or omissions. You should not rely on AI-generated content as professional, legal, medical, financial, or safety advice.

Additional information about AI processing and external processors is provided in the Privacy Policy.

Application Updates and Availability

The Service Provider may update the Application from time to time. Operating-system requirements and supported devices may change, and you may need to install an update to continue using the Application.

The Service Provider does not guarantee that every earlier Application version will remain supported. A minimum supported build number may be enforced to protect security, data integrity, or compatibility with current services.

If you choose not to install a required update, some or all Application features may stop functioning.

The Service Provider may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Application. Where required by applicable law, the Service Provider will provide appropriate notice.

Upon permanent discontinuation:

• Rights and licenses granted under these Terms end
• You must stop using the discontinued services
• You may uninstall the Application from your device
• Personal data will be handled according to the Privacy Policy and applicable law

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service Provider is established, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws provide otherwise.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms will be brought before a court having jurisdiction under applicable law.

Nothing in this section prevents you from bringing a claim before another competent court where mandatory law grants that right.

DSA Compliance (Digital Services Act)

If and to the extent that the Application or Service Provider is subject to the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, the "DSA"), the provisions below apply in addition to these Terms.

Point of Contact: Users and applicable EU authorities may contact the Service Provider at playkorkis@gmail.com regarding matters covered by the DSA.

If the Service Provider is legally required to appoint a representative in the European Union under Article 13 of the DSA, the representative's identity and contact information will be made available separately. These Terms do not represent that such a representative has already been appointed.

Content Moderation and Statement of Reasons: Where required by the DSA, the Service Provider will provide an affected user with a clear and specific statement of reasons when restricting content, suspending or terminating an account, or otherwise limiting access because content is considered illegal or incompatible with these Terms.

Notice and Action: A notice of allegedly illegal content may be submitted through an available in-app reporting mechanism or by email to playkorkis@gmail.com. A notice should include sufficient information to identify the content, explain why it is alleged to be illegal, and allow the Service Provider to evaluate the notice.

The Service Provider will process qualifying notices in accordance with applicable DSA requirements. Automated tools may assist with classification or prioritization, but final moderation action is subject to human administrative review where required.

Dispute Resolution: Where the DSA provides a right to internal complaint handling or certified out-of-court dispute settlement, eligible users may exercise that right without losing the right to seek judicial remedy.

Transparency Reporting: The Service Provider will publish content-moderation transparency reports only where and to the extent required by the DSA. The publication location and reporting frequency will be determined by the applicable legal obligations. These Terms do not represent that reports are currently being published.

These DSA provisions apply only to the extent that the Application qualifies for the relevant DSA service category and obligation. They do not replace or limit rights under applicable consumer-protection or data-protection law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

The remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for a specific paid feature or platform service, constitute the agreement between you and the Service Provider concerning use of the Application.

They supersede prior agreements or understandings concerning the same subject matter, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Changes to These Terms and Conditions

The Service Provider may periodically update these Terms and Conditions.

The Service Provider will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where appropriate or legally required, by providing an additional notice or obtaining renewed agreement.

Changes will not retroactively remove rights or impose obligations where prohibited by applicable law.

Previous versions of these Terms and Conditions will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting the Service Provider at playkorkis@gmail.com.

These Terms and Conditions are effective as of 2026-09-07.
