Terms of Service
Last updated: 11 June 2026
The short version. Be 18+, be yourself, be decent to people. Your words and photos stay yours — you let us show them to the people the product is built to show them to. Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google; event fees and tickets go through Razorpay. Events are hosted by real people in the real world, so use judgment and read our Safety page. If you break the rules, we can suspend or remove your account.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and NETSPHERE TECHNOLOGIES, a sole proprietorship of Nikhil Sahu, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India ("Unfyltered", "we", "us"). They govern your use of the Unfyltered app on iOS and Android and the website unfyltered.com (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and Refund & Cancellation Policy, all of which form part of this agreement. If you don't agree, please don't use Unfyltered.
1. Who can use Unfyltered
- You must be at least 18 years old. Your date of birth is verified at sign-up and locked thereafter. Accounts found to belong to minors are removed immediately.
- One account per person, tied to your own phone number. No accounts on behalf of someone else, and no sharing accounts.
- You must be legally capable of entering a binding contract under Indian law, and you must not have been previously banned from Unfyltered.
- Everything on your profile must be accurate and yours — your name (or the name you genuinely go by), your real age, your own photos.
2. Your account
You sign in with your phone number and a one-time password. Keep your device and number secure: you're responsible for activity on your account. If you believe your account has been accessed without permission, contact hello@unfyltered.com immediately. We may require re-verification before restoring access.
3. Your licence to use the Service
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app and the Service for their intended purpose: meeting people through words and events. You may not copy, scrape, data-mine, reverse-engineer, resell, or build a competing dataset or service from any part of Unfyltered, and you may not access it by automated means.
4. Your content
- You own what you create — your photos, prompt answers, Question of the Day answers, messages, and event listings ("Your Content").
- So the Service can function, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, adapt (e.g. resize or crop images), and display Your Content within the Service — in discovery, The Drop, Nearby, chats, and event pages — to the users those features are designed to show it to. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have already received (e.g. messages you sent) and copies we retain under our Privacy Policy.
- We do not use Your Content for advertising and we never post it outside the Service without your separate, explicit permission.
- You're responsible for Your Content. Don't post anything you don't have the right to post, and nothing that violates the law or our Community Guidelines.
- We may review, moderate, restrict, or remove content that violates these Terms, the Guidelines, or applicable law — including via automated screening followed by human review.
5. Rules of conduct
The full house rules live in our Community Guidelines; they're part of these Terms. In brief, you must not:
- Misrepresent who you are: fake profiles, someone else's photos, AI-generated images presented as you, wrong age;
- Harass, stalk, threaten, defame, or abuse anyone, on or off the platform;
- Post content that is unlawful under Indian law, including content prohibited by Rule 3(1)(b) of the IT Rules 2021 — obscene, invasive of privacy, harmful to children, deceptive, impersonating, or threatening public order;
- Engage in or solicit commercial sexual services, or use Unfyltered for any commercial purpose without our written consent (including promotion, MLM recruitment, or fundraising);
- Scam, defraud, or ask other users for money or financial information;
- Share another person's private information (including their phone number) without their consent — the double-consent number system exists for a reason;
- Circumvent safety systems, quotas, bans, or payment flows, or interfere with the Service's operation.
Zero tolerance: any sexualisation of minors or child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) results in an immediate permanent ban and a report to law enforcement and relevant authorities. No warnings, no appeals.
6. Paid features
6a. Unfyltered+ subscriptions (Apple / Google billing)
- Unfyltered+ unlocks digital features such as revealing locked Drop answers, seeing everyone who liked you, profile views, read receipts, messaging event attendees, and sending number requests.
- Subscriptions (weekly, monthly, or yearly) are purchased through and billed by Apple's App Store or Google Play — not by us directly. Prices, including taxes, are shown before you buy.
- Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each period at the then-current price until you cancel. To cancel, use your store settings — iOS: Settings → your name → Subscriptions; Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions — at least 24 hours before the period renews. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds for subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google under their policies — see our Refund Policy for links and details.
6b. Event fees and tickets (Razorpay)
- Payments for real-world items — the ₹299 listing fee for publishing a public event, and tickets to paid events — are processed by Razorpay, an RBI-regulated payment aggregator, not by Apple or Google.
- For paid tickets, Unfyltered charges a platform fee of 10% of the ticket price, disclosed to hosts before publishing.
- All prices are in Indian Rupees. Refund and cancellation rules for listings and tickets are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy, which complies with the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
7. Events: hosts, attendees, and the real world
- Hosts are users, not Unfyltered staff. Unless an event is explicitly marked as curated by Unfyltered, it is created and run by an independent user. We provide the platform — listing, RSVPs, group chat, check-in — not the event itself.
- If you host, you are responsible for: describing the event accurately (venue, time, price, capacity); having any permission, licence, or booking the venue or activity requires; complying with local laws (including those on alcohol service and public gatherings); treating attendees safely and lawfully; and actually showing up. You must not use events to run scams, sell unrelated products, or collect attendees' personal data.
- If you attend, you do so at your own judgment and risk. Meeting people in the real world carries inherent risks that no app can remove. Read our Safety page, check in at events, and report anything off.
- We do not run background checks on users or hosts. We may remove events or hosts that violate these Terms.
- Private events use invite codes and are limited in capacity; public events are reviewed for listing-policy compliance but are not endorsed by us.
8. Safety and moderation
You can report any profile, photo, prompt, message, event chat, or off-platform behaviour from inside the app, and block any user (blocking removes you from each other's view both ways). We review reports and take action ranging from warnings to permanent bans, as described in the Community Guidelines enforcement ladder. Reports of underage users or CSAE trigger immediate suspension pending review.
9. Our role as an intermediary
Unfyltered is an intermediary under Section 2(1)(w) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and hosts user-generated content. We observe the due-diligence obligations of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, including publishing these rules, informing users of prohibited content, and operating a grievance mechanism with a resident Grievance Officer (see Grievance Redressal). To the extent provided by Section 79 of the IT Act, we are not liable for third-party content made available through the Service; we act on unlawful content when we obtain actual knowledge through a court order, an appropriate government notification, or our grievance process.
10. Termination
- By you: delete your account any time in the app (You → Settings → Delete account, confirmed by OTP). Deletion and the 30-day grace window are described in the Privacy Policy. Remember to cancel any subscription in your store settings separately.
- By us: we may suspend or terminate your account, restrict features, or remove content if you breach these Terms or the Guidelines, if required by law, or to protect users. For serious violations (safety, fraud, CSAE) we may do so immediately and without prior notice. Where reasonably possible, we'll tell you the reason and you may contest it through the grievance process.
- Sections that by nature survive termination (your content licence wind-down, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) survive.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that you will meet anyone, match with anyone, or enjoy any particular event; that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; or that other users are who they claim to be (verification badges reflect a selfie check, not an identity or background check).
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of your use of the Service — including the conduct of other users online or at events. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us (through subscriptions, listing fees, or our platform fees) in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) ₹5,000. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law, including under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, or your right to approach a consumer forum.
13. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NETSPHERE TECHNOLOGIES and its proprietor from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your events, your conduct toward other users, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any non-excludable consumer-protection rights you hold (including the right to file before a consumer commission having jurisdiction), the courts at Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service. Before going to court, we'd genuinely like the chance to fix things — write to grievance@unfyltered.com first.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the product and the law evolve. For material changes we'll notify you in the app before they take effect and update the date above. Continuing to use Unfyltered after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't, stop using the Service and delete your account.
