Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using it under applicable law.

2. Your account

You need an account to publish content, give Impacts and take part in Throos. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your password confidential and to tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Each person may hold one account; creating additional accounts to gain extra Impacts or otherwise influence charts is not allowed.

3. Your content

You own what you make. Krousis does not claim ownership of the videos, photos, music, audio, writing, comments or other material you post ("Your Content").

License to us. So that we can operate the Service, you grant Krousis a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transcode, resize, display, stream and distribute Your Content within the Service, and to make it available to other users according to your settings. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except that copies may remain for a limited time in backups, and content that other users have already interacted with may remain visible in that context (for example, a comment thread) in a form that no longer identifies you.

What you promise. You represent that you own Your Content or have all rights needed to post it, that it does not infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights, and that it complies with these Terms and the law. Music and audio on Krousis must be the creator's own; uploading commercial recordings you do not have rights to is not permitted.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions about the Service, we may use them without any obligation to you.

4. Impact, charts and rankings

Each account receives one Impact per day. An Impact, once given, cannot be withdrawn or transferred. Charts, World and other rankings are computed from Impacts and other signals of genuine use. To protect the integrity of the system we may, without notice, void Impacts, remove content from charts or suspend accounts when we detect automation, coordinated manipulation, purchased engagement, multiple accounts or other attempts to game the rankings. Rankings are provided as they are and confer no rights.

5. Community rules

Do not use the Service to:

• post content that is illegal, sexually explicit involving minors, or that promotes terrorism or violence;
• harass, threaten, bully, defame or impersonate anyone;
• post hate speech directed at people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or serious disease;
• post spam, scams, malware or unsolicited advertising;
• infringe copyright, trademark or other rights, or share someone's private information without consent;
• scrape, crawl or bulk-download content or user data, or access the Service by any means other than the interfaces we provide;
• interfere with the Service, probe or test its security, or circumvent any limits or protections;
• use bots, scripts or multiple accounts to give Impacts, inflate streams or otherwise manipulate the Service.

Content that violates these rules may be removed and the account responsible may be suspended or terminated.

6. Copyright complaints

We respect the intellectual property of others and respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to contact@krousis.com with the subject "Copyright notice" and include: a description of the work; the location of the allegedly infringing content in the Service (username and link or title); your contact details; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and your physical or electronic signature. We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

7. Moderation, suspension and termination

We may remove or restrict content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for Krousis, or are inactive for an extended period. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time by following the steps in our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 3, 8, 10, 11 and 12) will survive.

8. Our property

The Service, including its software, design, name, logos and the Impact, World, Throos and Ecos features, is owned by Krousis, Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for Your Content and the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, nothing here grants you any right, title or interest in the Service. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or create derivative works from the Service.

9. Third-party services

The app is distributed through the Apple App Store and relies on third-party infrastructure such as Supabase and Cloudflare. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms. If you sign in with Google, Google's terms apply to that sign-in. Apple is not responsible for the Service, its content or any claims related to it, and is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you.

The Service is currently free to use. If we introduce paid features in the future, additional terms and pricing will be presented to you before you buy.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, or that any content, ranking or statistic will be accurate. Content posted by users reflects their views, not ours. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability and indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Krousis, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill or content, arising out of or related to the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred US dollars (USD 100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, whichever is greater.

You agree to indemnify and hold Krousis harmless from claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from Your Content, your use of the Service or your breach of these Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will notify you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.
