Terms of Service

Effective: December 18, 2025 | Last updated: March 17, 2026

Welcome to Currot ("we," "our," or "us"), a service owned and operated by Eliary Inc. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our mobile application (the "Service"). Currot is a mobile-only application and is not available as a web service or desktop application. By accessing or using Currot, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using Currot, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

We may modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirements

You must meet the minimum age requirement for your jurisdiction to use Currot:

• Default Minimum Age: 13 years old
• European Economic Area (EEA): 16 years old, or the minimum age specified by your country if lower (varies by member state, minimum 13)
• South Korea: 14 years old
• Other Jurisdictions: The minimum age required by local law, if higher than 13

Important: Age requirements vary by country, state, or territory based on local laws. You are responsible for knowing and complying with the age requirements of your jurisdiction. If your local law requires a higher minimum age, that age applies to you.

2.2 Age Verification and Accuracy

You must provide your accurate date of birth during registration. By providing your birth date, you represent and warrant that it is truthful and correct.

Content-Based Age Review: We may review your account, including pictures, posts, and other content, to assess whether you meet our age requirements. If we have reasonable suspicion that you may be younger than the required age or that you provided a false date of birth, we may:

• Request that you submit proof of age (such as a government-issued ID)
• Temporarily suspend your account pending verification
• Permanently terminate your account if proof is not provided or confirms you do not meet age requirements
• Retain records of the account and associated data for an extended period for safety and legal purposes

We reserve the right to take these actions at any time and at our sole discretion to ensure the safety of our community.

Changes to Age Requirements: Age requirements may vary by jurisdiction and may change based on applicable laws and regulations. You are responsible for complying with the age requirements applicable to your location. We reserve the right to modify age requirements at any time to comply with legal obligations or to enhance community safety.

2.3 Minors (Under 18)

If you are between the minimum age and 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that:

• Your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms on your behalf
• Your parent or legal guardian consents to your use of the Service
• Your parent or legal guardian understands and accepts our Privacy Policy

Parents and guardians who permit minors to use Currot assume responsibility for the minor's compliance with these Terms and for monitoring their activity on the Service.

2.4 Enhanced Safety Measures for Users Under 18

To protect younger members of our community, users under 18 years of age may be subject to enhanced safety measures, which may include but are not limited to:

• Enhanced Content Review: Content posted by or directed at users under 18 may be subject to more active moderation and review
• Interaction Monitoring: Interactions involving users under 18 may be subject to enhanced monitoring for potentially harmful patterns
• Communication Safeguards: Additional safeguards may apply to direct messaging and other communication features

These measures may be modified, expanded, or adjusted at our sole discretion based on evolving safety considerations, community feedback, and legal requirements. We do not guarantee that any specific safety measure will be in effect at any given time.

Interaction Monitoring for Minor Protection: To protect users under 18, we may analyze interaction patterns between adult users (18 years or older) and minor users. Adult accounts that exhibit patterns of initiating contact with multiple users under 18 may be subject to enhanced review. Based on such review, we may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice:

• Restrict the adult account's ability to contact users under 18
• Immediately suspend or permanently terminate the adult account
• Retain records of the account and related communications for an extended period to support safety investigations and respond to legal requests
• Report concerning activity to appropriate authorities where permitted or required by law

Users 18 years or older should be aware that their interactions with users under 18 may be subject to enhanced scrutiny. This policy exists to maintain a safe environment for younger users and does not require any specific pattern or threshold to trigger review.

2.5 Account Restrictions

You may not use Currot if:

• You have been previously suspended or removed from our Service
• You are prohibited from receiving our Service under applicable laws
• You are located in a country subject to U.S. government embargo or sanctions
• You are on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties

2.6 Business Use

If you are using Currot on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the entity.

3. Your Account

3.1 Account Creation

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Maintain and promptly update your account information
• Not share your account credentials with others
• Create only one account per person

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You must:

• Immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or security breach
• Not use another user's account without permission
• Log out of your account when using shared devices

3.3 Device Identification and Multi-Device Access

To secure your account and provide our Service, we identify and track devices:

• Device ID: We generate and store a unique identifier for each device you use to access Currot
• Multi-Device: You can access your account from multiple devices simultaneously
• Session Tokens: Each device receives secure authentication tokens that are validated with your device ID
• Device Information: We collect device type, operating system, app version, timezone, and language settings

Security Notice: If we detect suspicious activity or a device ID mismatch, we may require re-authentication or temporarily restrict access to protect your account.

3.4 Session Management

Your login sessions are managed as follows:

• Session Duration: Sessions remain active as long as you use the app regularly
• Token Refresh: Your authentication tokens are automatically refreshed to maintain your session
• Logout: You can log out from the current device at any time via app settings
• Remote Logout: We may implement the ability to log out from all devices for security purposes

For security reasons, we may terminate sessions after extended periods of inactivity or if suspicious activity is detected.

3.5 Account Deletion

You may permanently delete your account at any time through the app settings (Settings > Account > Delete Account). This is separate from account deactivation.

Account Deletion (permanent):

• Your profile and all public content will be immediately removed from public view
• You have a 30-day recovery period during which you can cancel deletion by logging back in
• After 30 days, your account is permanently and irreversibly deleted — it cannot be recovered
• Your pictures, posts, and associated data will be permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymized after the retention period (up to 90 days for standard content; extended for reported content, legal matters, or minor protection — see Section 5.6)
• Your Ask responses will be anonymized (your identity removed) upon account deletion (see Section 6.3)
• Content shared with others may remain visible to them until they delete it

Account Deactivation (temporary):

• You may temporarily deactivate your account through the app settings
• Your profile is hidden while deactivated, but your data is preserved
• You can reactivate at any time by logging back in
• Deactivation does not delete your data — it is a temporary pause, not a deletion

Account deactivation is NOT a substitute for account deletion. If you wish to permanently delete your account and data, you must use the Delete Account option.

3.6 Username Policy and Ownership

Usernames are the property of Eliary Inc. By creating an account, you are granted a limited, revocable license to use your chosen username, subject to the following terms:

Platform Ownership:

• All usernames remain the exclusive property of Eliary Inc. (operating as Currot)
• Users do not own, and have no proprietary rights to, any username
• We reserve the right to reclaim, reassign, or modify any username at our sole discretion

Reserved Usernames:

• Certain usernames may be reserved for official Currot accounts, partner accounts, or platform features
• Usernames may be reserved for notable public figures, celebrities, brands, or individuals with established public identity and recognition
• We may proactively reserve usernames to prevent impersonation or confusion

Username Reclamation: We may reclaim usernames in the following circumstances:

• Inactivity: Accounts that remain inactive for extended periods may have their usernames reclaimed for reassignment
• Username Squatting: If we reasonably believe a username was registered with the intent to "hold" or "squat" on a desirable username without genuine use, we may reclaim it without notice
• Notable Person Claims: If a public figure, celebrity, or notable individual can demonstrate legitimate claim to a username held by another user, we may transfer that username to them
• Trademark or Brand Conflicts: Usernames that infringe on trademarks or cause brand confusion may be reclaimed
• Policy Violations: Usernames associated with suspended or banned accounts may be permanently retired or reassigned

3.6.1 Username Modification for Public Interest

To prevent impersonation and public confusion, Eliary Inc. reserves the right to modify usernames that appear to represent:

• Official Entities: Government agencies, public institutions, international organizations, or official bodies
• Government Representatives: Elected officials, government employees acting in official capacity, or diplomatic personnel
• Highly Notable Public Figures: Celebrities, public figures, or individuals with significant public recognition who have not verified their identity
• Registered Organizations: Companies, non-profits, or organizations with established legal identity

If your username is determined to cause potential confusion with any of the above, we may:

• Require you to change your username within a specified timeframe
• Modify your username automatically with or without prior notice
• Add distinguishing elements to your username (e.g., suffixes or prefixes)
• Suspend your account until the username issue is resolved

This policy exists to protect users from misinformation and to maintain trust in our platform.

No Compensation: Users are not entitled to any compensation, refund, or consideration if their username is reclaimed, reassigned, or modified under this policy. By using our Service, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

5. Your Content

5.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of the content you create and share on Currot ("User Content"), including photos, text, and other materials. However, by posting User Content, you grant us certain rights as described below.

5.2 License Grant to Currot

By posting User Content, you grant Currot a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to:

• Use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and display your User Content
• Create derivative works from your User Content
• Distribute your User Content in any media formats and channels
• Use your name, username, and likeness in connection with your User Content

This license exists for the purpose of operating, developing, promoting, and improving our Service, including conducting experiments (such as A/B tests) to improve features and user experience, and the use of anonymized and de-identified data for academic and child safety research (see Privacy Policy Section 5.4). Experiments may vary the features, content, or experience available to different users. The license terminates when you delete your User Content or account, except where your content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it, or where data has been irreversibly anonymized for research purposes.

5.3 License Grant to Other Users

When you share content publicly or with other users, you grant those users a non-exclusive license to access and use your User Content as permitted through the normal functionality of the Service.

5.4 Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to your User Content
• Your User Content does not infringe any third-party rights
• Your User Content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws
• You have obtained all necessary consents from individuals appearing in your content

5.5 Additional Content Types

In addition to posts and pictures, the Service includes the following content types, all subject to these Terms:

• Contact Discovery: You may choose to share your device contacts to find friends on Currot. Contact phone numbers are hashed on-device before transmission and are not stored on our servers in plaintext

5.6 Content Retention After Deletion

Important: When you delete pictures or posts, the content is removed from public view but processed versions (resized images) may be retained in our database for up to 90 days. This retention period allows us to:

• Investigate potential policy violations
• Respond to legal requests and law enforcement inquiries
• Protect our community from harmful content and abuse
• Resolve disputes between users

Extended Retention (365 days or longer): We may retain content, account data, and related communications for 365 days or longer in the following circumstances:

• The content or account is subject to an ongoing investigation
• The content or account has been reported by users or third parties
• The account has been suspended or terminated for policy violations

• The data is relevant to the protection of minors or safety investigations

We may retain data beyond these periods where required by law, to protect our legal interests, or to support ongoing safety initiatives.

5.7 Public Content and Admin Review

Once you make pictures or posts public, they become accessible to other users on the platform. All public content is automatically visible to our administrators for moderation and review purposes. By making content public, you acknowledge that:

• Your content may be viewed by any user on the platform
• Our admin team actively monitors public content for policy violations
• Administrators may delete content that violates our guidelines without prior notice
• Administrators may restrict or suspend accounts that repeatedly violate our policies

6. Social Features and Interactions

Currot provides various social features to connect with others. Here's how they work:

6.1 Following and Followers

• You can follow other users to see their public content in your feed
• Other users can follow you
• You can remove followers or block users at any time
• Follower counts are public by default

6.2 Messaging

Mutual-Follow Requirement: Direct messaging on Currot requires mutual following. Both users must follow each other before they can exchange direct messages. This platform-wide policy helps create a safer messaging environment for all users.

• Send direct messages only to users you mutually follow
• Messages can include text and shared public pictures (only public media can be shared in chats)
• You can delete messages you've sent (but recipients may have already seen them)
• You can report inappropriate messages

6.3 Ask Feature - Response Deletion

The Ask feature allows users to send questions to other users. By answering an Ask, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Your response is publicly visible once submitted
• You may request deletion of your Ask responses by contacting support@currot.com
• If your response has already been viewed by others, we will anonymize it (remove your identity from the response) rather than fully delete it, to maintain conversation integrity
• You should carefully consider your response before submitting

6.4 Anonymous Asks

Purpose of Anonymity: The anonymous Ask feature exists to encourage deeper, more honest social connections by allowing users to express themselves freely. Anonymity is designed to foster genuine communication, not to enable harmful behavior or attacks on others.

By using the anonymous Ask feature, you acknowledge:

• Limited Anonymity: While your identity is hidden from the recipient, we retain sender information in our systems for safety and legal compliance
• No Abuse Protection: Anonymity does not protect you from consequences. If your anonymous Ask violates our Community Guidelines, we can identify you and take enforcement action against your account
• Admin Access: Authorized administrators can access anonymous Ask sender data when required by law, in response to reports, or for safety investigations
• Recipient Controls: Users can disable receiving anonymous Asks at any time

6.4.1 Reporting and Restrictions

While anonymous Asks protect sender identity from the recipient, this protection has limits:

• Reportable Content: If an anonymous Ask is inappropriate, harassing, or violates our Community Guidelines, the recipient can report it
• Content Preservation: Reported anonymous Asks are saved and preserved for investigation, including sender identification
• Account Restrictions: Users who send inappropriate anonymous Asks may face account restrictions, including limited ability to send anonymous content, temporary suspension, or permanent termination
• Manual Review: We manually review patterns of abuse through anonymous Asks and may take enforcement action

Misuse Warning: Using anonymous Asks to harass, threaten, or abuse other users will result in account suspension or permanent ban, regardless of anonymity.

6.5 Blocking

• Block: Blocked users cannot see your profile, content, or contact you
• Blocked users are not notified of your action

7. Prohibited Conduct

In addition to the Community Guidelines (Section 4), you agree not to engage in the following:

7.1 Account Misuse

• We will review your appeal and respond within 30 days

9-12. Intellectual Property, Copyright, Third-Party Services

The Service and its contents are owned by Eliary Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of content you create but grant us a license to use it for operating the Service.

We respect copyright. To report infringement, contact support@currot.com. We will respond to valid DMCA notices and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

Third-party links and integrations are subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party content.

13-16. Termination, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification

You may permanently delete your account at any time through the app settings (see Section 3.5). Account deletion is permanent and irreversible after the 30-day recovery period. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations, inactivity, or legal requirements.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES. WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100 USD.

You agree to indemnify and hold Currot harmless from claims arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

17-18. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by California law. Subject to arbitration provisions, disputes will be resolved in San Francisco County courts.

Exceptions: Small claims court, intellectual property disputes, and claims for injunctive relief are not subject to arbitration.

19-22. General Provisions, App Store Terms, Changes, Contact

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

These Terms are between you and Eliary Inc., not any app distribution platform. If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms.

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified through the app. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
