Terms of Use
Last updated: 8 October 2026
Before publishing: the operator name, address, governing law and the liability figure below are placeholders in [SQUARE BRACKETS]. Fill them in and have the result checked by someone qualified where you operate. This is a plain-language draft of how the product actually behaves — it is not legal advice.
PopOff is run by [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME]. By making an account you agree to what is on this page. If you do not, please do not use it.
Who may use PopOff
- You must be at least 13. [Check your country — some require a parent's consent below 16 or 18.] We do not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to use PopOff or collect their information; if we learn an account belongs to someone under 13, we close it and delete the data.
- The Love section is for people aged 18 and over who have been verified by a person. Nobody is put in front of anyone else there without opting in.
- One account per person. Do not share your sign-in with anyone.
- If your account is closed for breaking these rules, do not make another one.
How to behave
PopOff is a study space. The rules are short, and they are enforced.
- No harassment, bullying, hate, threats or stalking.
- No sexual content involving minors, ever. No sexual content at all outside the 18+ section.
- No nudity or sexual behaviour on camera. Cameras are for studying together.
- No spam, scams, chain messages, or advertising that is not ours.
- No impersonating other people, and no pretending to be staff.
- Do not post other people's personal information, photos or messages without their agreement.
- Do not try to break, overload, scrape or work around the app's limits.
- Follow the law where you live.
What you post
What you write and upload stays yours. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, copy and display it inside PopOff so the app can work — a message has to be stored to be delivered, a profile photo has to be shown to be a profile photo. That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies that sit in backups until those age out, and anything the law requires us to keep.
You are responsible for everything you upload. By posting a photo or anything else, you confirm that you own it or have permission to use it, and that you have the agreement of every identifiable person shown in it. Do not upload:
- photos or content that are not yours to post — someone else's pictures, images taken from the web or social media, or anyone's face or likeness without their consent;
- anything that infringes a copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity right.
Accounts that upload stolen or infringing photos are closed, and such content is removed when we find it or when it is reported.
Copyright and takedowns
If you believe something on PopOff infringes a copyright you hold, send a notice to support@popoff.club that includes:
- the work you say is being infringed, and where the infringing material is on PopOff (a link, a username, or enough detail to find it);
- your name and contact details, and a statement that you are the rights-holder or are authorised to act for them;
- a statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorised by you, the rights-holder, or the law;
- a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and your electronic or physical signature.
We remove infringing material promptly and, where appropriate, tell the person who posted it — who may reply with a counter-notice if they believe the removal was a mistake. We close the accounts of repeat infringers.
Your responsibility to us
If something you post or do on PopOff — breaking these rules, infringing someone's rights, or uploading content you had no right to — leads to a claim against [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME] or costs us money, you agree to cover those reasonable costs and losses, so far as the law allows.
Points, the Store and purchases
- Points are earned by showing up and studying. They have no cash value, cannot be bought, sold, exchanged or transferred, and are not a currency.
- Things bought with points (looks, frames, banners, stickers, rooms) are a licence to use them inside PopOff, not property.
- Points and items can be adjusted or removed if they were obtained by cheating or by a bug.
- [If you ever sell anything for real money, this section needs a refund policy and consumer-law wording. Today nothing costs money.]
The 18+ Love section
- Entirely optional, and off until you turn it on.
- Identity is checked by a person: a selfie plus an identity document. Both images are deleted as soon as the check is decided.
- Everything else in PopOff stays what it is — the study side is not a dating app, and behaving as though it is will get your account closed.
- Meeting people carries real-world risk. Meet in public, tell somebody where you are going, and use your judgement. We cannot vouch for anyone.
Moderation
Rooms have hosts and moderators; communities have owners and admins; PopOff has staff. They can mute, block a camera, remove somebody from a room, close a room, or suspend an account. Serious matters — anything involving a child, a credible threat, or a crime — may be reported to the authorities.
If you think a decision was wrong, write to support@popoff.club and it will be looked at by a person.
Ending it
You can delete your account at any time from Profile ▸ Account & privacy. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these rules, or if we have to for legal or safety reasons. If PopOff itself shuts down, we will give reasonable notice so people can take their content out.
What we promise, and what we do not
PopOff is offered as it is. We work to keep it up and safe, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted, or that everything anyone posts is true or lawful. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to [the greater of what you have paid us in the last twelve months, or INR 1,000].
Nothing here removes rights you have under consumer law where you live.
Third-party names
Names of other products or games that appear in PopOff belong to their owners and are used only to say what a thing is. [Check this list before launch — see the note in the project README about the board-game names used in the Games section.]
Law
These terms are governed by the law of [COUNTRY / STATE], and disputes belong to the courts of [CITY], unless the law where you live says otherwise.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app will say so. Carrying on using PopOff after that means you accept the new version.
