Last updated: November 9, 2026
1. Accepting these terms
By creating an account or using Pathly, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You must be legally able to enter this agreement and provide accurate account information.
2. Your account
You are responsible for activity under your account, protecting your credentials and verification methods, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access. Do not share verification codes or recovery links. You may not create accounts through automation, impersonate another person, evade account restrictions, or misuse device and security controls.
3. Acceptable use
Use Pathly lawfully and respectfully. You must not:
- Harass, threaten, exploit, stalk, or abuse another person.
- Post illegal, fraudulent, hateful, sexually exploitative, or seriously harmful content.
- Impersonate people or organizations, misrepresent affiliation, or violate another person’s privacy.
- Send spam, run scams, distribute malware, scrape the service, or attempt unauthorized access.
- Interfere with security, rate limits, authentication, RLS, private media controls, or service availability.
- Upload content you do not have the right to use.
4. User content
You remain responsible for content you create or share, including Moments, Stories, comments, reactions, messages, images, video, voice notes, and profile media. You retain ownership rights you have in that content.
You grant Pathly a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, reproduce, and display your content only as needed to operate, secure, improve, and provide the service according to your settings. This license ends when the content and related backups are deleted, subject to reasonable technical and legal retention.
5. Moderation and account action
Pathly may investigate reports and remove or restrict content, suspend features, or suspend or terminate accounts when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users, comply with law, or protect the service. Beta moderation may involve judgment and may not be immediate. Users may contact support.pathly@gmail.com about safety issues or account actions.
6. Pathly intellectual property
The Pathly name, branding, software, interface, and original assets are owned by or licensed to the operator. These Terms do not grant permission to copy, sell, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit them except where applicable law permits. Open-source components remain governed by their respective licenses.
7. Beta availability
Pathly is a beta service. Features may change, fail, become unavailable, or be withdrawn. The service may contain defects and is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. Pathly does not promise uninterrupted operation, permanent storage, or error-free delivery. Keep independent copies of content that is important to you.
8. Disclaimers and limitation
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Pathly disclaims implied warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from use of or inability to use the beta. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limits mandatory consumer rights.
9. Ending use and changes
You may stop using Pathly or use the in-app Delete Account flow. Pathly may update these Terms as the beta evolves. Material changes will be posted here with a revised date. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated Terms where permitted by law.
