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.

You must be at least 13 (or older, if your country sets a higher minimum age) to create or use an account - see section 12 of the Privacy Policy. You must enter your real date of birth when asked; giving a false date of birth is a breach of these Terms and we may close the account. If you are under 18 you should only use Animora with a parent or guardian's permission, and some features are limited for you: gifts and creator subscriptions to other users are available only to accounts confirmed as 18 or older.

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 short (1-4 character) username you buy through Google Play. 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. To enforce this we limit how many accounts can be created from one device or network.

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 short usernames - are set out in Privacy Policy section 9 and apply here as part of these Terms.

If you block, restrict or hide someone, respect that choice: do not use another or new account to contact, follow or harass a person who has blocked you, and do not use Block, Restrict or Hide to harass or to falsely make it look like someone else is at fault. Repeated attempts to get around a block are a violation and can lead to suspension. Creators may filter comments on their own posts and stories by keyword; do not try to get around a filter by posting the same text in disguise. Message requests and calls are for genuine conversation: do not send unsolicited or repeated messages to people who have not accepted you, do not place repeated unwanted voice/video calls, and do not record or share a call or a private message without the other person's consent where the law requires it. 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.

Animora is free to use. The things you can pay real money for are coin packs from the Coin Store, the Green Tick, Boost (promoting a post or story) and short usernames of 1 to 4 characters (a one-time purchase), all in the Android app and all through Google Play; the price is shown by Google Play before you pay. Chat themes, gifts, creator subscriptions and extra guild member slots are unlocked with coins. A short username stays yours until you change it; if you change it you give it up and must buy it again to get a short username back. To prevent abuse, after 5 username changes you cannot change your username for 15 days. Coins are free to earn: by watching rewarded ads (daily limit applies), achievements, streaks, referrals and gifts from other users. Coins can also be bought in the Coin Store (see "Coin packs" below). Coins, however they were obtained, are for use inside Animora only: they have no cash value and can never be sold, withdrawn, or exchanged for money, gift cards, or any real-world prize.

• Coin packs. Coin packs (100 to 5,000 coins, the larger ones with bonus coins) are one-time purchases through Google Play in the Android app. Google Play shows the price in your local currency before you pay. Coins are added to your wallet after Google Play confirms the payment, usually within seconds; if a payment is pending, they are added when it completes. If coins are missing, restart the app first (unfinished purchases are re-checked when the app starts) and then contact us through the Contact form with your Google Play order ID. Bought coins work like all other coins: once spent they are final, and refunds of the purchase itself follow Google Play's refund policy. If a purchase is refunded, reversed or found to be fraudulent, we may remove the coins it gave you and restrict the account if it happens repeatedly.
• Spent coins are final. Coins already spent on a feature (Green Tick, extra guild member slots, a username change, a theme, a gift, a subscription) are gone the moment the feature is granted and are not returned, for any reason, except where the law requires it.
• Coin History. You can press Clear in Wallet → Coin History to hide the list on your device. This only hides rows on that device; it does not change your balance and does not delete our payment records.

Games. Ludo and Chess have free rooms and coin rooms. Coin rooms are only for accounts verified as 18+. Joining a coin room takes the entry fee from your coin balance; the winner receives the pot minus a small app fee (currently 10%). If a Chess game ends in a draw or is aborted (for example nobody makes the first move in time), or a room never fills, every entry is refunded in full. Leaving, resigning or running out of time in a started game loses your entry. Coins won in games are in-app coins like any other coins: they cannot be cashed out and have no money value. Game results are decided by the server; moves, dice, clocks and results from your device are not trusted.

Fair play. Do not cheat in games: no chess engines or outside help in online Chess, no scripts, bots or modified apps, no collusion or "chip dumping" (two accounts feeding each other coins or losing on purpose), and no using several accounts to farm coins. We may void games, remove coins won this way, and restrict or suspend the accounts involved.

Coins can only be used inside Animora.

Referral program. You can earn a small number of coins when a friend joins Animora with your referral code. A referral counts as soon as the friend joins with your code, confirms a valid date of birth and passes our anti-abuse checks, and the account is in good standing; the invited friend also gets a small welcome bonus. Each account can be referred once, the code must be used within 7 days of the new account being created, and there are daily (10 rewards per day) and lifetime (100 rewards) limits on referral rewards. Referral coins are ordinary coins: they have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money. Do not refer yourself, create or control extra accounts, use one device or network to generate referrals, bribe or trick people into signing up, or spam invites. We may refuse or reverse referral coins, and suspend accounts, involved in abuse. We may change, limit or end the referral program (including the reward amount) at any time; coins already credited remain yours unless they were earned through abuse.

For maintenance or security reasons we may temporarily lock the wallet for everyone; balances and history are not changed by a lock and return when it is lifted. We may correct an obvious coin-price 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.

Green Tick is a fixed-term status (currently 30 days each time you unlock it) that you get with coins - which you earn for free - and it unlocks the green tick badge and exclusive chat themes, and higher sticker/guild-member limits. Green Tick does not remove ads. Renewing adds another 30 days on top of any time remaining; it does not auto-renew unless you renew it again.

A Boost is a fixed-term promotion of one post or story, paid for with real money through Google Play (not with coins), for the duration you choose. Once a Boost starts running it cannot be cancelled, even if you delete the boosted post afterwards. Refunds for Google Play purchases are handled under Google Play's refund policy.

A creator subscription is a recurring coin deduction 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 return the coins for the current period. Gifts sent to other users are a one-time coin spend that is not returned.

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 AdMob (rewarded ads in the Android app only) 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 created 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 get back coins or 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 smallest extent the law allows; Animora is free to use and no money is charged for any feature.

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