Terms of Service

Follow.fun(the “Service”) is operated by the entity that provides it (“Follow.fun”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Operator”). By creating an account, connecting an X account, purchasing credits, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Acceptable Use Policy, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

• You are at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
• You are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction, and you are not located in a country or on a list subject to applicable sanctions or trade restrictions.
• If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.
• Each X account you connect is genuinely controlled by you and is used in compliance with X's own terms.

Follow.fun is a neutral technology platform that lets people on X discover one another and exchange in-platform credits in connection with voluntary, opt-in follows. We provide software and processing services only. We do not act on your behalf on X, we do not control X, and we are not a party to, and take no responsibility for, the interactions, follows, content, or arrangements between users.

• We are an intermediary and processor of follow requests and credit transactions between users — not the source, employer, agent, or guarantor of any follower, follow, or outcome.
• We do not perform follows or unfollows for you; every follow is an action you take yourself on X.
• We are an independent service and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to X Corp. “X” and related marks belong to their owner.
• We do not promise any particular number of followers, reach, growth, earnings, ranking, or result of any kind.

• “Credits” means the in-platform unit of account used to facilitate follows, as described in Section 5.
• “Content” means any data, text, profile information, or material you submit to or generate through the Service.
• “Claim” means a request to be awarded Credits for a follow, submitted for verification.
• “Third-Party Services” means services we rely on but do not control, including X, payment processors, and our follow-verification provider.

You sign in with X via OAuth. We never see or store your X password. We verify that you control the connected account and read basic public profile data to operate the Service. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials and X login secure.

• One account per person and per X handle. Operating multiple accounts or identities to game rewards, evade limits, or evade enforcement is prohibited.
• You must keep your connected X authorization active so we can verify follows. If you revoke access, listings and pending Claims tied to your account may be suspended or cancelled.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of the information on your profile and for all Content you submit.
• You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

Credits are a limited, revocable license to use a feature of the Service. Credits are not money, not legal tender, not a deposit, not e-money, not a security, not a financial instrument, and not a cryptocurrency or token. They have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash or anything of value outside the Service, carry no interest, and confer no ownership or rights in the Operator.

• You may obtain Credits by purchasing them, by receiving a one-time signup bonus, or by earning them when others follow under rules you set.
• Credits can only be spent inside the platform to reward people who follow you and to access platform features.
• Credits are non-transferable between accounts except through the platform's normal follow mechanics, and they may not be sold, assigned, sublicensed, or used as collateral.
• We may adjust, suspend, expire, or revoke Credit balances to correct errors, comply with law, or reverse fraud, abuse, chargebacks, or rewards for follows that are later undone.
• We may change Credit pricing, fees, earning rules, and feature availability at any time on a prospective basis.

As a creator you set a follow price within the limits we publish. When another user follows you, they submit a Claim. We verify the follow is live against X through a third-party relationship API before releasing any Credits. The follower earns the Credits you have allocated, less the platform fee disclosed at the time.

• A reward is only paid once a follow is independently verified as active. Verification depends on Third-Party Services and may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable.
• If a verified follow is later removed (an unfollow), the associated reward may be reversed and balances adjusted.
• We may rate-limit Claims, hold rewards for review, or decline a Claim we reasonably believe is fraudulent, automated, or non-compliant.
• Setting a higher follow price may improve placement in the Explore feed but does not guarantee any followers, visibility, or earnings.

Credit purchases are handled by independent payment processors. Card payments are processed by Stripe; crypto payments (such as USDC, SOL, and ETH) are processed on-chain through our crypto provider. We do not store full card numbers or your wallet keys. Your use of those processors is subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

• Prices and any platform fee are shown before checkout. All amounts are exclusive of taxes unless stated.
• You are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies arising from your use of the Service, including any value you obtain through it. We may collect tax where required by law.
• Card purchases of Credits may be refunded within 14 days only if the Credits are fully unused; partially used packs are non-refundable. Bonus and earned Credits are never refundable.
• Crypto payments are final once confirmed on-chain and cannot be reversed by us. Send only the requested asset on the requested network; assets sent in error may be unrecoverable.
• Chargebacks or payment reversals may result in removal of the related Credits, reversal of derived rewards, and suspension or termination of your account.

You are solely responsible for your own conduct on the Service and on X, for your Content, and for complying with all rules and laws that apply to you. You acknowledge that you direct your own activity and that we merely process the requests and transactions you initiate.

• You must comply with X's Terms of Service, rules, and policies at all times. Your relationship with X is solely between you and X.
• You are responsible for ensuring your participation is lawful where you live, including any rules relating to advertising, promotions, financial services, or gambling-related content you choose to associate with your account.
• You will not use the Service in any way that violates law, infringes others' rights, or could expose us or other users to liability.
• You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and process your Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

Follow.fun exists to facilitate genuine, opt-in follows between real people. Automation and fake engagement undermine that and are strictly forbidden. Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms.

• No bots, scripts, automation, or services that follow, unfollow, or claim on your behalf.
• No fake, purchased, recycled, or incentivized-beyond-Credits engagement, and no fake or stolen X accounts.
• No attempts to manipulate verification, exploit bugs, scrape, reverse-engineer, or extract more Credits than legitimately earned.
• No use of the Service that violates X's rules, infringes intellectual property, or breaches any applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator acts solely as a neutral conduit and processor that transmits and records follow requests and Credit transactions between users. We do not originate, endorse, supervise, or guarantee any user, follow, Claim, or Content, and we are not responsible or liable for them.

• We are not a party to the arrangement between any creator and any follower, and we do not control whether any user follows, unfollows, or honors any expectation.
• We are not responsible for any user's conduct, Content, accuracy, identity, or compliance, whether online or offline.
• We are not responsible for the availability, decisions, or actions of Third-Party Services, including X's moderation, suspension, throttling, or termination of any account.
• Any dispute between users is solely between those users; you release the Operator from claims arising out of such disputes.

The Service depends on Third-Party Services that we do not control, including X (sign-in and the platform on which follows occur), our follow-verification provider, Stripe, our crypto payment provider, and our hosting and infrastructure providers. Their availability, terms, fees, and decisions are outside our control. We are not liable for any loss arising from a Third-Party Service, and your use of them may be subject to their own agreements.

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and content (excluding your Content and third-party marks), is owned by the Operator or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the Service except as expressly permitted.

You use the Service at your own risk and accept the following in particular:

• X may, at its sole discretion and without notice, limit, suspend, or terminate your X account. We have no control over and no liability for X's enforcement actions.
• Crypto assets are volatile and transactions are irreversible. You are responsible for sending the correct asset to the correct address on the correct network.
• Verification, Credits, and rewards depend on systems that may be unavailable, delayed, or inaccurate, and outcomes are never guaranteed.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any growth, follower count, earnings, or result will be achieved. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, followers, or opportunities, arising out of or related to the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for Credits in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 100. These limits apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and reflect the allocation of risk between us.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and its officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your Content, your conduct on X, your violation of these Terms or any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, abuse verification, create risk for us or others, or where required by law. Where abuse is involved, we may forfeit affected Credits and reverse fraudulent rewards. You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Credits limitations, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute resolution) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Operator agree to the following:

• Informal resolution first: before bringing any claim, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
• Binding individual arbitration: any dispute that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring qualifying claims in small-claims court.
• Class-action waiver: disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.
• Time limit: any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.
• Where mandatory consumer law gives you stronger rights or a different forum, nothing here removes those rights.

• Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Acceptable Use Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remain in effect and the unenforceable part is limited to the minimum extent necessary.
• No waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment: you may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices: we may give notice in-product or by email; legal notices to us should be sent to the contact below.

Questions or legal notices regarding these Terms can be sent to team@follow.fun.
