The ground rules for having an account and spending time on Flux.

1. Agreeing to these terms

These terms form a binding arrangement between you and Flux covering the mobile app, its pages, and everything you can do inside them (together, the service). When you install the app, set up a profile, press the accept button, or buy anything, you are confirming that you have read and accepted this document and the privacy policy.

If something here is not acceptable to you, the only course is not to use the service. The rules of the store where you downloaded the app also apply to you; where those rules are mandatory and conflict with what follows, the store rules win on that point.

2. Who can open an account

Flux is built for adults. You have to be at least eighteen to register, and the app asks you to confirm your age before it will let you finish. Anyone younger is not permitted to hold an account.

The confirmation screen is a declaration rather than a guarantee, so it also matters that the information you give is accurate. Entering a false birth date or pretending to be someone else is a serious breach. We separately look for signs of underage use, and where an account appears to belong to someone under eighteen we close it and remove the linked details, as described in the children's policy. You also need to be old enough, under the law where you live, to enter an arrangement like this one.

3. Your account

You are responsible for what happens under your profile, including posts made with it and charges you authorise. Keep your sign-in details private and tell us promptly if you think someone else has got into the account.

The details you enter when you register, and anything you update later, need to be true and current. You may not sell, give away, share, or hand an account to another person, and normally each person keeps only one profile.

We can restrict, suspend, or close an account where the rules are broken, where the way it is being used puts others or the service at risk, where the law requires it, or for genuine operational reasons. When that happens we are not liable to you beyond what the law or the store's refund rules require. You can leave at any point and ask for the account to be removed; obligations you already owe, including money for purchases, still stand.

4. Subscriptions and in-app purchases

The app is free to enter, while some parts call for payment: recurring subscriptions, one-off in-app purchases, and coins or other virtual items used inside the service. Flux does not run advertising, so nothing here is paid for by showing you ads.

Renewing subscriptions

A subscription carries on for another term of the same length at the price then current unless you cancel before the present term runs out. The price, renewal rhythm, and cancellation steps are shown before you subscribe. You can cancel through the store account that billed you; removing the app or deleting your profile does not switch a subscription off on its own.

Coins and virtual items

Coins, gifts, and similar items are licensed to you rather than sold. They carry no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and are not transferable between people except where we expressly allow it. They cannot be moved off the service, and we may adjust how a feature spends them, though balances already bought stay usable.

How payments are handled

Purchases go through Google Play's billing system or another processor we use. That provider's own terms govern the transaction, and we receive only limited details such as order and product identifiers, subscription status, and confirmation, not the full card number. Refunds follow the store's refund rules and the law where you live; requests for store-billed purchases are made to the store.

5. What you post

You keep ownership of the photos, videos, messages, comments, and anything else you put on Flux. We do not claim it as ours. In order to run the service you give us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to store it, show it, resize or reformat it for different screens, and deliver it to the people your settings allow, including the providers that host and carry the data on our behalf. That licence ends, for ordinary posts, when the material is removed from active systems, subject to the retention notes in the privacy policy and to copies others have already made.

You must have the rights to anything you post, and you may not use Flux to:

• share sexual material involving anyone under eighteen, or sexualise a minor in any way;
• upload abusive, threatening, defamatory, or deceptive material, or content that invades someone's privacy;
• post spam, scams, or impersonate another person;
• distribute harmful code or attempt to break into accounts or systems that are not yours;
• infringe intellectual property, or break the law in some other way.

We can remove content that breaks these rules and may warn, suspend, or close the account, and we can pass material to the authorities where appropriate. To report a problem, use the reporting tools in the app or write to the address below; we act on reports but do not promise a specific outcome.

6. Meeting and talking to others

We do not run criminal background checks and cannot confirm that every person is who they say they are. Care and common sense are yours to apply: take care arranging any meeting, and do not send money to another user.

You can manage who reaches you through the in-app block function and use the report function to bring problematic material to our attention. What you send is delivered through infrastructure providers that route the message for us, and the recipient may keep or copy it, so it should not be treated as guaranteed to disappear.

7. Location features

Parts of the service use your location, including precise coordinates where you allow it, to show nearby people, places, or content. The app asks for location permission before it accesses this and you can withdraw that permission in the device settings; the relevant features will then stop working properly.

We do not use location permission to follow you when the app is closed unless a feature you have switched on requires it, and that is made clear when the feature is turned on.

8. Outside services we rely on

Flux depends on outside providers for hosting and storage, analytics and install measurement, crash reporting, payment processing, sign-in through a third-party account, and the delivery of messages and notifications. They act under written agreements that confine the data they receive to the job they do for us, require confidentiality, and call for protection equivalent to our own.

When you leave Flux to use a third-party service, that service is governed by its own terms and policies, which we do not control and are not responsible for.

9. Our licence and intellectual property

As long as you keep to these terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable licence to install and use Flux for your own non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, alter, reverse engineer, lease, sell, or build something competing from the service, and may not use automated means to access it without permission.

The Flux name, logos, software, and the content we provide ourselves are protected and belong to us or our licensors. If you believe material infringes your copyright, send a notice to the contact address identifying the work and the location of the disputed material; we review valid notices and can remove the material and act against repeat infringers.

10. No promises the service never fails

The service is offered on an as-is and as-available basis. While we work to keep it running and safe, we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that defects will be fixed, or that content posted by users will be accurate or harmless. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Where a jurisdiction does not allow an exclusion, that exclusion applies only as far as it is permitted.

11. The limit of our responsibility

To the extent the law permits, Flux is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost data, or the cost of obtaining something elsewhere, that arise from your use of the service.

For any single matter, the total amount we can be liable for is capped at whichever is greater: the money you actually paid to Flux in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred United States dollars. This cap does not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including fraud or deliberate misconduct.

12. When you have to cover our losses

You agree to keep Flux and its providers harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs that come from the material you post, your use of the service, a breach of these terms, or your violation of someone else's rights. Where local law does not allow this kind of protection, it applies only to the extent allowed.

13. Which law applies

These terms and any dispute about them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory consumer-protection law where you live requires otherwise.

14. How disagreements get settled

Talk first. Before anything formal, write to us describing the problem and give us at least thirty days to try to resolve it directly with you.

If that does not work, the dispute goes to final and binding individual arbitration rather than court, run by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, with a single arbitrator and the seat in Wilmington, Delaware. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arrangement, and the language is English. The arbitrator can decide only the individual matter and cannot award relief for or against anyone who is not a party.

You may still bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court, seek equitable relief to protect intellectual property, or bring a claim the law does not allow to be arbitrated. If you would prefer not to be bound by this arbitration section, you can send a written notice within thirty days of first accepting these terms; after that, the opt-out is no longer available.

15. When these terms change

We may revise these terms as the service and the law evolve, posting the updated version and changing the date at the top. Where required, we give extra notice. Continuing to use Flux after a change means you accept it; if you do not, you should stop using the service.
