Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. Funtoosh is operated by Funtoosh Private Technologies Private Limited.

2. Definitions

• Anonymous Messaging: Communication where sender and receiver are identified only by pseudonymous usernames, without phone number requirement.
• Email OTP Login: Authentication via one-time password sent to email, valid 5 minutes, single-use.
• User Wallet: Internal ledger for wallet recharge, paid messaging, tips, and premium features.
• User Profiles: Pseudonymous profiles with display name, bio, and discovery preferences.

3. Eligibility

• You must be at least 13 years old (16+ in EEA/UK where required) to create an account.

4. Accounts & Anonymity

4.1 Registration

Sign-up requires Full Name and Email Address. Email is verified via OTP. Full Name is used for display and wallet compliance where applicable; you may use a pseudonym consistent with community standards, but wallet payouts above regulatory thresholds require accurate information.

4.2 Anonymity Responsibility

• Your username is your public identity; keep private information private if you wish to remain anonymous.
• Do not attempt to de-anonymize others via IP grabbing, social engineering, or unauthorized data aggregation — results in immediate suspension per Account Suspension Policy.
• Keep your email secure; OTP is single-use, time-limited, and rate-limited.

5. Acceptable Conduct

To maintain a safe environment for anonymous communication, you agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, dox, stalk, or incite violence or self-harm
• Share Child Sexual Abuse Material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or sexual content involving minors — zero tolerance, immediate ban and legal report
• Distribute spam, scams, phishing, malware, crypto drainers, or engage in fraud
• Impersonate Funtoosh staff, use official badges without authorization, or create deceptive profiles
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape at scale, disrupt edge network, or bypass security monitoring
• Buy, sell, or trade accounts or wallet balances

We employ content moderation for reported content, spam detection via heuristics, and abuse prevention systems operating on metadata only, preserving end-to-end encryption.

6. Content & Ownership

6.1 Your Content

Landing page, branding, UI, and advertisements are owned by Funtoosh. Do not copy or reproduce without permission per Intellectual Property Policy.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Funtoosh liability is limited to amount you paid in last 12 months or ₹8,000 / $100 whichever higher. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from anonymous interactions, wallet transactions, or advertisements.
