Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Animora ("Animora", "we", "us", "our"), available at https://animorasocial.app/, and govern your use of the Animora website and web app. By creating an account or using Animora you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

If you use Animora on behalf of someone else (for example a minor you are responsible for, where locally permitted), you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms for them.

Animora is not for children under 13 (or under the minimum age required in your country, if higher) - see section 12 of the Privacy Policy. If you are under 18 you should only use Animora with a parent or guardian's permission.

You sign in with Google. You are responsible for keeping your Google account secure and for everything that happens under your Animora account, including a username and any premium (1-4 character) username you buy with coins. Tell us immediately through the Contact form if you suspect unauthorised access.

You must provide accurate account information and keep your profile within the content rules in section 3. One person may not operate multiple accounts to evade a ban, manipulate follower/like counts, or abuse coin, referral or promotional features.

You keep ownership of the posts, stories, comments and messages you create ("your content"). By posting, you grant Animora a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and distribute it inside the service solely to operate the app; this licence ends when you delete the content or your account (see Privacy Policy section 9 for the full wording).

The full content rules - what you may not upload, copyright/takedown requests, username and trademark rules, and premium usernames - are set out in Privacy Policy section 9 and apply here as part of these Terms.

Do not use Animora to scrape, reverse-engineer, spam, send unsolicited bulk messages, interfere with the service, bypass a ban, or resell/redistribute access to the app without our written permission.

Coins are an in-app credit (1 coin = ₹1) you top up by buying a coin pack - through Google Play Billing in the app, or through Cashfree in the website checkout. Coins are used to pay for Boosts, Green Tick, premium usernames, chat themes, gifts and creator subscriptions. Prices are shown in coins in the app.

• No refunds for spent coins. Coins already spent on a feature (Boost, Green Tick, a username, a theme, a gift, a subscription) are gone the moment the feature is granted and are never refunded, for any reason, except where the law requires it.
• A coin pack purchase itself may only be refunded through the payment provider's own process - Google Play's refund process for app purchases, or by contacting us for a website purchase - and only where no coin from it has been spent yet, or where the law requires a refund.
• We never see or store your card details for a top-up. For a website top-up via Cashfree we also do not see your UPI or bank details (see Privacy Policy section 7).

Withdrawals. Withdrawals are locked until your account reaches two milestones - 1,000 Allies (followers) and 30,00,000 total views across your posts - both required. Once unlocked, only the part of your balance received as gifts or creator-subscription income is ever withdrawable; coins you added yourself through a top-up remain spendable in the app but can never be withdrawn or cashed out. Once your withdrawable balance is ₹100 or more, you can withdraw any part of it to a UPI ID or bank account. Every withdrawal carries an Animora Withdrawal Fee - a flat platform fee of ₹10 to ₹25 depending on the amount, shown to you before you confirm - which is deducted from the amount withdrawn and kept by Animora, separate from and in addition to whatever Cashfree separately charges us to process the payout. Withdrawals are processed through Cashfree Payouts and typically land within a few hours. A submitted withdrawal request cannot be cancelled; if a payout fails, the amount (including the fee) is returned to your wallet.

We may correct an obvious pricing or balance error (for example caused by a bug) by adjusting a wallet balance, and will not treat this as removing coins you legitimately earned or bought.

Green Tick is a paid, fixed-term status (currently 30 days per purchase) that unlocks the green tick badge and premium chat themes, an ad-free feed, and higher sticker/guild-member limits. Renewing adds another 30 days on top of any time remaining; it does not auto-renew unless you buy it again.

A Boost is a fixed-term, paid promotion of one post or story for the duration you choose. Once a Boost starts running it cannot be cancelled or refunded, even if you delete the boosted post afterwards.

A creator subscription is a recurring coin charge you choose to start with a specific creator, for a benefit that creator offers; you can cancel a subscription at any time from Settings, which stops future renewals but does not refund the current period. Gifts sent to other users are a one-time, non-refundable coin spend.

The Animora name, logo, app design, layout, source code and "Radar" / "Shonen" / "Allies" feature names are owned by Animora or its licensors and may not be copied, reused or reverse-engineered without our written permission. This does not affect your ownership of your own content (section 3) or of any third-party brands, franchises or works referenced by users, which belong to their respective rights holders.

Animora relies on third-party services to run - Google Firebase (sign-in), Cloudflare (database, file storage, hosting), Vercel (website hosting/analytics), Google Play Billing (payments) and Formspree (contact/report delivery). Each operates under its own terms and privacy policy; Animora is not responsible for their outages or errors, though we will try to help if one affects you.

Boosted/promoted posts may link to a website chosen by the person who paid for the boost. That outside website is not operated by Animora, and we are not responsible for its content, availability or privacy practices.

We may remove content, restrict features, or temporarily or permanently suspend an account that breaks these Terms, the content rules, or the law, as described in Privacy Policy section 8. Any unspent coins on a permanently banned account are forfeited, except where the law requires otherwise.

You may deactivate or permanently delete your own account at any time from Settings. Deleting your account does not entitle you to a refund of coins or paid features already used or granted.

We may suspend or discontinue Animora, in whole or in part, at any time (for example for maintenance, legal reasons, or if we stop operating the service). Where reasonably possible we will give notice in the app.

Animora is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that content will be accurate, appropriate or non-infringing - users post their own content and we moderate on a best-effort basis (see Privacy Policy sections 5, 6 and 8 on media links, encryption and moderation limits).

To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Animora and its team are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the app or content posted by other users. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid Animora (via wallet top-ups) in the 6 months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where the law does not allow it - for example for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

You agree to reasonably indemnify Animora against claims, losses or costs arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of someone else's rights, to the extent caused by you.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless a mandatory local consumer-protection law gives you additional rights where you live. Courts located in India have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, except where local law requires otherwise.

Before starting a formal dispute, please contact us through the Contact form - most issues (billing, moderation, bugs) can be resolved faster that way.

We may update these Terms when the app or the law changes. The "Effective date" at the top shows the latest version. For material changes we will show a notice in the app. Continuing to use Animora after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Questions about these Terms, billing or a moderation decision: use the Contact form (Settings → Contact & Support, or the public /contact page).
