Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Redyus ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Redyus mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. Eligibility

Age Requirement: You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under 18 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a person under 18, we will delete that information immediately.

Legal Capacity: You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement and are not barred from using the Service under applicable law.

Prior Termination: You may not use the Service if you have previously been banned, suspended, or had your access terminated by us for any reason.

3. Account and Device Identification

Public Anonymity: Redyus allows for usage that is anonymous to other users. While you do not need to display your real name to the community, Redyus maintains server-side logs (as detailed in our Privacy Policy) to enforce these Terms. Anonymity on the platform is not a shield for illegal activity.

Device Identification: To maintain platform integrity and enforce these Terms, we collect device and browser identifiers (including fingerprint-derived signals). This information is used to prevent ban evasion, detect fraudulent activity, and enforce community standards. By using the Service, you consent to this collection.

Anti-Circumvention: You agree not to use any method to obscure or falsify device identifiers, spoof your location, or otherwise attempt to circumvent our enforcement mechanisms. Attempting to evade a ban or suspension by creating new accounts or using different devices is a violation of these Terms.

Account Security: If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Location Services

Core Functionality: Redyus is a location-based service. Access to your device's precise geolocation is required for core functionality; without it, major features will not work and the Service may be unusable. The Service allows you to view and post content ("Pins") at geographic locations within your designated radius.

Consent: By using the Service, you expressly consent to the collection and use of your precise geolocation data as described in our Privacy Policy. You may revoke this consent at any time by disabling location services on your device, but doing so will render the Service unusable.

Location Accuracy: We do not guarantee the accuracy of location data. You are solely responsible for any consequences arising from inaccurate location information.

Safety: Do not use the Service while driving or in situations where it may distract you from safety-critical activities. Use caution when interacting with content or people you encounter through the Service. Do not rely on Pins for safety-critical decisions, navigation, or emergency information. Never meet strangers in isolated locations based on information from the Service.

5. User Content

Definition: "User Content" means any text, images, messages, replies, votes, or other content that you submit, post, or transmit through the Service.

Ownership: You retain ownership of your User Content. However, by submitting User Content to the Service, you grant Redyus a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, cache, use, reproduce, modify (for formatting and service operation), create derivative works, publish, display, perform, and distribute your User Content solely for the purposes of operating, providing, maintaining, securing, moderating, marketing, and improving the Service. This license continues until your User Content is deleted from the Service, except that (a) content may persist in backups for a limited period, and (b) copies may remain as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., safety, security, and abuse prevention).

Content Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it. We do not endorse any User Content or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein.

Representations: You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have the necessary rights to post your User Content; (b) your User Content does not violate any third party's rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; and (c) your User Content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.

No Expectation of Privacy: Content posted on Redyus is visible to other users within the designated geographic area. You should have no expectation of privacy for any User Content you post to the Service.

Ephemeral Nature: User Content on Redyus is designed to be ephemeral. Pins have a limited time-to-live (TTL) and will automatically expire from general visibility. We do not guarantee the preservation or availability of any User Content. However, expiration removes Pins from public visibility only; we may retain limited records (including metadata and server-side logs) as described in our Privacy Policy and as needed for safety, security, compliance, and dispute resolution.

Removal Rights: We may remove any User Content at any time for any reason, including content that we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.

6. Prohibited Content and Conduct

You agree not to post, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available any User Content or engage in any conduct that:

• Violence & Threats: Threatens, incites, promotes, or glorifies violence against any individual or group
• Harassment & Bullying: Harasses, intimidates, bullies, or targets any individual with unwanted attention or abuse

• Coordinated Harassment: Organizes or participates in coordinated campaigns to target, harass, or brigade specific individuals or groups

7. Content Moderation

Right to Moderate: We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to monitor, review, edit, remove, or disable access to any User Content at our sole discretion, at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason.

Enforcement Actions: We may take any action we deem appropriate in response to violations of these Terms, including but not limited to: removing content, issuing warnings, temporarily suspending access, permanently banning users, and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement.

Community Reporting: Users may report content that violates these Terms. We will review reported content, but we are not obligated to take any specific action.

Block and Filter Mechanisms: To ensure a safe community, the Service provides functionality for users to block other users and report specific content. We aim to review reports promptly, but do not guarantee any specific response time. You may also use in-app tools to filter out content you find objectionable.

Automated Tools: We may use automated tools, including machine learning systems, to detect spam, abuse, and policy violations. These tools assist but do not replace human review for enforcement decisions.

Preservation of Evidence: We may preserve User Content and account information when we believe it may be relevant to a legal matter, safety concern, or Terms violation, and we may cooperate with law enforcement investigations.

No Liability for Moderation: We are not liable for any moderation decisions, including decisions to remove or not remove content, or to suspend or ban users.

No Pre-Screening: We do not pre-screen User Content before it is posted. You may be exposed to content that you find offensive, objectionable, or inappropriate. You assume all risk associated with viewing or interacting with User Content.

8. Limitations of Anonymity

Not Absolute: While Redyus provides anonymous posting, your anonymity is not absolute. We collect device identifiers and other technical information as described in our Privacy Policy.

Legal Obligations: We will disclose information about you to law enforcement agencies, government officials, or third parties if we are legally required to do so, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; (b) protect the safety of any person; (c) prevent death or imminent bodily harm; (d) prevent fraud or abuse of the Service; or (e) protect our rights or property.

No Guarantee: We do not guarantee that your identity cannot be determined through your User Content, location patterns, or other means. You are responsible for protecting your own privacy.

9. Intellectual Property Rights

Our Property: The Service, including its original content (excluding User Content), features, and functionality, is and will remain the exclusive property of Redyus and its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Trademarks: "Redyus," our logo, and other marks are trademarks of Redyus. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written consent.

Feedback: If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service, you grant us an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

The arbitration shall be conducted in California, USA, by phone, video conference, or based on written submissions, as determined by the arbitrator.

Federal Arbitration Act: This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and not by any state arbitration law.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms, and these Terms shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

19. Waiver

The failure of Redyus to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Redyus.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or policies published by us on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Redyus regarding the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Service.
