2) Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 8, 2026

2.1 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms are an agreement between you and Techiox Ltd ("we", "our", or "us"), registered at 82 James Carter Road, Suite A, Mildenhall, United Kingdom, IP28 7DE. Whisper Social is a product of Techiox Ltd.

2.2 Nature of the Service

The App is an anonymous social platform. Public content is anonymous to other users, but we may associate content with internal identifiers for safety, moderation, and legal compliance.

Public posts may be automatically screened before they are shown to other users. Other content (comments, group messages, private messages) may be restricted or removed after posting based on automated signals and user reports.

2.3 User Responsibilities

You agree not to use the App to:

Engage in illegal activities
Exploit or harm minors
Harass, threaten, or abuse others
Share violent, hateful, or extremist content
Share non-consensual intimate content
Distribute malware, spam, or scams
Attempt to bypass security or moderation systems
Impersonate others or misrepresent identity

You are solely responsible for your content and interactions.

2.4 Content Moderation

We reserve the right, but do not have the obligation, to:

Use automated systems to detect policy-violating content and behavior
Act on user reports and safety signals
Restrict visibility, remove content, and enforce account restrictions
Report illegal activity to authorities where required by law or when necessary to protect users and the public.

Some enforcement is automatic; some may occur after content is posted.

We aim to review user reports within a reasonable timeframe, but do not guarantee response times.

2.5 Child Safety

We have zero tolerance for sexual content involving minors.

We may remove such content immediately and terminate related accounts.

We may preserve and report relevant information to appropriate authorities where required by law.

2.6 Appeals

If you believe your content or account was restricted in error, contact support at support@whispersocial.qzz.io.

2.7 Account Actions

We may suspend or terminate accounts at our sole discretion, including for:

Violations of these Terms
Suspected abuse or fraud
Legal or safety concerns

We are not liable for any loss resulting from account actions.

Account deletion or uninstalling the App does not cancel a paid subscription. You must cancel through Apple or Google as described in Section 2.9. Deleting your account may end your ability to use premium features even if billing continues until you cancel in the store.

2.8 Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of your content. By posting content, you grant Whisper Social a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, display, and process the content for operating and improving the App.

2.9 Paid Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

(A) Parties and billing

Whisper Social may offer optional paid plans (currently including Whisper Plus and Whisper Pro) as auto-renewable subscriptions sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Service provider: Techiox Ltd provides the Whisper Social premium service and related digital features.
Payment processing: Apple or Google processes the payment for in-app purchases. Depending on territory and store rules, Apple or Google may act as merchant of record for the store transaction.
These Terms govern your use of the premium service. Apple’s and Google’s own terms also apply to store billing.

(B) Plans, duration, and price

Available plans, durations (for example weekly or monthly), features, and prices are shown in the App and in the applicable store listing before you confirm purchase. Prices are charged in the currency displayed by the store for your account / territory and may include applicable taxes as determined by Apple or Google.

A subscription purchase grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access the then-current premium features associated with that plan for the subscription period, subject to these Terms.

(C) What subscribers get

Premium features may include (depending on plan and as described in the App at purchase time), for example: reduced or no ads, ghost / burner account features, one-way read receipts, one-way online status, priority messaging allowances, spotlight posting allowances, and multi-account switching. Exact benefits for Plus vs Pro are shown on the paywall.

We do not guarantee that any specific feature will remain available forever. We may add, change, limit, or remove premium features over time. Your subscription entitles you to access the then-current premium tier for your plan, not a perpetual right to any particular feature set.

(D) Auto-renewal

Unless you cancel, subscriptions automatically renew for the same duration at the then-current price (subject to store notice / consent rules for price changes).

Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm purchase.
Your account will be charged for renewal within the timeframe set by the store (on Apple, typically within 24 hours before the end of the current period).
If a free trial or introductory offer is available, its length, price after conversion, and conversion timing will be shown before you subscribe. Unused trial time may be forfeited if you purchase during the trial, as disclosed by the store.

(E) Cancellation

You can cancel auto-renewal at any time in your store account settings:

iOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions (or Apple ID → Subscriptions), then cancel Whisper Social.
Android: Google Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, then cancel Whisper Social.

Apple: https://support.apple.com/HT202039
Google Play: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7018481

Cancellation stops future renewals. You generally keep access until the end of the current paid period, unless Apple/Google policy or applicable law requires otherwise, or we revoke access under these Terms (for example after a refund or fraud).

(F) Refunds and chargebacks

Refunds for in-app purchases and subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google under their policies, not by Techiox Ltd directly (except where mandatory law requires us to assist or provide a remedy).

Apple refund requests: https://reportaproblem.apple.com
Google Play refunds: follow Google Play’s refund / purchase history tools

If a purchase is refunded, charged back, revoked, or otherwise reversed, we may immediately suspend or revoke premium access. We may also suspend or terminate accounts involved in suspected purchase fraud or abuse.

(G) Price changes

We may change subscription prices. Where required by Apple, Google, or law, you will receive notice and/or be asked for consent. If you do not agree to a price increase where consent is required, auto-renewal may stop and your subscription will end at the close of the then-current period. For Google Play price increases, Google’s notice periods and in-app notice rules also apply.

(H) Payment failures, grace periods, and holds

If a renewal payment fails, Apple or Google may retry billing. Depending on store settings and status, your premium access may continue for a grace period, enter an account hold, or be suspended until payment succeeds. We may reflect those store states in your entitlements.

(I) Restoring purchases

If you reinstall the App or switch devices, use the App’s restore / account flow (and the same store account that purchased) so we can re-verify your subscription. Premium access is tied to valid store verification and your Whisper Social account linkage.

(J) Family Sharing and sharing limits

If Family Sharing or similar purchase-sharing features are enabled for a product, access may depend on Apple’s/Google’s rules. Not all products are shareable. Organizers remain responsible for billing. Access may end if a member leaves the family group or sharing is disabled.

(K) Promotional offers and codes

Introductory offers, promo codes, and similar promotions may have eligibility limits, one-per-user rules, expiration dates, and non-transferability. We may revoke offers obtained through misuse.

(L) Geographic availability and taxes

Subscriptions are available only where the store makes the product available. Prices and tax treatment (including VAT) follow store and territorial rules. You are responsible for any taxes not collected by the store, where applicable.

(M) Consumer rights (UK / EEA and similar)

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be waived under applicable consumer law.

Depending on your location, you may have a statutory cooling-off / withdrawal right for distance contracts. For digital content or digital services supplied immediately, the law may allow that right to end once supply begins if you expressly request immediate access and acknowledge the consequence, where such a waiver is permitted. Where the law treats ongoing app access as a digital service with different rules, those mandatory rules prevail.

If you believe you have a mandatory consumer remedy that Apple or Google cannot resolve, contact us at support@whispersocial.qzz.io and we will help where we reasonably can within the limits of store billing systems and applicable law.

(N) Apple-required acknowledgements (iOS)

To the extent you download or purchase through Apple:

The agreement for the premium service is between you and Techiox Ltd, not Apple.
Techiox Ltd, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content and for maintenance and support to the extent required.
In the event of any failure of the App to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price to the extent required by Apple’s terms; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
Techiox Ltd, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App (including product liability, legal compliance, and consumer protection claims) and for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party intellectual property claim.
Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your license to the App; upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right to enforce those terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

(O) Service changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the App or premium features. Where required by law, we will provide reasonable notice. We are not liable for changes that do not breach non-waivable consumer rights.

2.10 Rewards, Points, and Incentives (if applicable)

If the App offers rewards, points, or monetary incentives:

Participation is optional
Rewards are not guaranteed
We may modify or terminate programs at any time
Rewards are based on internal criteria and anti-fraud mechanisms
Manipulation or abuse will result in disqualification or account termination

Rewards are not tied to ad interactions or deceptive behavior.

2.11 Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

We are not responsible for user-generated content.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including UK consumer law).

2.12 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the App.

2.13 Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
