TERM & TERMINATION ================================================================================ This Agreement is effective upon Your first use of the Software or Services and shall remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by deleting Your account in the app (Profile > Delete Account). QWAD may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, terminate or suspend Your access to the Software or Services for any violation of this Agreement or the Community Guidelines, or where required by law. Upon termination, all licenses granted to You herein immediately cease, and the license You granted to QWAD ends as described in Section 3.3. All provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including Sections 3.3 (Duration of the License), 3.4 (Aggregated Data), 4 (Intellectual Property), 5 (Warranties Disclaimer), 6 (Limitation of Liability), 7 (Indemnification), 8 (Arbitration), 9 (Governing Law), and this Section 10. ================================================================================ 11. PRIVACY & DATA SECURITY ================================================================================ QWAD's Privacy Policy, available in the app under Profile > Legal & Support and at https://qwad-public.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/QWAD_LLC_Privacy_Policy.txt, is incorporated herein by reference and describes what information QWAD collects, how it is used, how long it is kept, and how You can delete it. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy concerning the collection, use, retention, or deletion of personal information, the Privacy Policy controls. You acknowledge that no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. ================================================================================ 12. CHILDREN & AGE RESTRICTIONS ================================================================================ The Software and Services are intended for individuals aged 18 years and older. If You are under the age of 18 (or the applicable age of majority in Your jurisdiction), You may not use the Software or Services. By using the Software or Services, You represent and warrant that You are at least 18 years of age. If QWAD discovers that a User is under 18, QWAD will terminate that User's access immediately and delete their account. ================================================================================ 13. OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT, ABUSIVE USERS & PROHIBITED CONDUCT ================================================================================ 13.1 Zero-Tolerance Policy QWAD has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users on the Software and Services. "Objectionable Content" includes, without limitation, content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit, or exploitative of minors, or that promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activity. "Abusive Users" means any User who creates, posts, or transmits Objectionable Content, or who harasses, threatens, stalks, or abuses any other User. The complete list of prohibited content and conduct is set forth in the Community Guidelines (Section 1.6). 13.2 Prohibited Conduct You agree not to: * Use the Software or Services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose; * Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Software, Services, or related systems; * Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Software, Services, or related systems, or to any other User's account; * Use any automated means, including bots, scrapers, or crawlers, to access the Software or Services without QWAD's prior written consent; * Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code; * Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any access controls, security features, content filters, or geographic restrictions; * Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent Your affiliation with any person or entity; * Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation. 13.3 Content Moderation, Reporting & Blocking The Software provides the following safeguards: (a) Filtering. Every chat message, display name and group name is screened by an automated content filter before it is stored or shown to other Users, and every uploaded profile photo is screened by automated image analysis. Content the filter blocks is never delivered; repeated filter hits are logged for review. Automated screening is not perfect, and QWAD does not guarantee that all Objectionable Content will be caught -- which is why the reporting tools below exist. (b) Reporting. Users may report any other User (including their profile photo), any individual chat message (long-press the message), or any group directly within the Software. Reports are recorded and sent to QWAD's moderation team immediately. (c) Blocking. Users may block another User from a chat, from a group's member list or from a profile. Blocking immediately hides the blocked User's messages from the blocking User, prevents either User from being matched with the other again, stops delivery of messages between them, and notifies QWAD of the block for review. (d) Removal. Users may delete their own messages at any time and may leave any group at any time; deleted messages are removed for all members immediately. (e) Contact. QWAD's contact information is displayed in the app under Profile > Legal & Support (support@qwadapp.com) so that any User can report inappropriate activity directly. 13.4 Enforcement Timeline QWAD reviews every report within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt. Where a report of Objectionable Content or an Abusive User is substantiated, QWAD will, within that same twenty-four (24) hour period, remove the offending content and eject the responsible User by suspending or terminating their account and access to the Software. Ejected Users' messages are removed from all groups and they are removed from matching. This commitment is subject to the disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement. ================================================================================ 14. UPDATES & MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT ================================================================================ QWAD reserves the right to modify this Agreement by posting an updated version at the "Current copy" address shown at the top of this Agreement (also reachable in the app under Profile > Legal & Support > Terms of Use) and updating the "Last Updated" date. For material changes QWAD will also notify You by email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Software or Services following the posting of changes constitutes Your acceptance of the revised Agreement. If You do not agree to any modification, Your sole remedy is to cease use of the Software and Services and delete Your account. ================================================================================ 15. GENERAL PROVISIONS ================================================================================ 15.1 Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and the Community Guidelines, constitutes the entire agreement between You and QWAD relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings. 15.2 Severability If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 15.3 No Waiver QWAD's failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of QWAD. 15.4 Assignment You may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of QWAD. QWAD may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, in which case the Privacy Policy will continue to govern Your personal information. 15.5 Force Majeure QWAD shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside QWAD's reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, government actions, pandemics, cyberattacks, or failures of third-party service providers. 15.6 Relationship of Parties Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between the parties. 15.7 Headings Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 15.8 Electronic Acceptance You agree that Your electronic acceptance (by checking the consent box at sign-up, installing, or using the Software) shall have the same legal force and effect as a written signature. 15.9 Notices & Contact Notices to QWAD, and questions regarding this Agreement, may be sent to: QWAD, LLC -- support@qwadapp.com. QWAD may send notices to the email address associated with Your account or by in-app notice. ================================================================================ ACKNOWLEDGMENT ================================================================================ BY INSTALLING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES OF QWAD, LLC, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY GUIDELINES AND THE PRIVACY POLICY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.
