Effective Date: 01/01/2025
Welcome to Milaap!
We're excited to see you using Milaap
and our other products and services, all of which we refer to simply as the "Services." When we refer to Milaap,
we mean Milaap, Milaap X, Milaap.com and our other products.
These Terms of Service (which we call the
"Terms") govern our relationship with you. Although we have tried our best to strip the legalese from the Terms,
there are places where these Terms may still read like a traditional contract. There's a good reason for that:
These Terms do indeed form a legally binding contract between you and Milaap So please read them
carefully.
By using the Services, you agree to the Terms. Of course, if you don't agree with them, then
don't use the Services.
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE A LITTLE LATER ON.
EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES MENTIONED IN THAT ARBITRATION CLAUSE, YOU AND MILAAP AGREE THAT DISPUTES
BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU AND MILAAP WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN
A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
1. Community
Guidelines
First and foremost, please read the following simple rules, which
we refer as "Community Guidelines".
By using the Services, you state that:
If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or some other entity, you state that you are authorized
to grant all licenses set forth in these Terms and to agree to these Terms on behalf of the business or
entity.
3. Prohibition on Child Sexual Abuse and
Exploration
A. Unconditional Prohibition
Milaap is an environment that must be kept free from any trace of child sexual abuse and exploration. Under no circumstances shall users engage in activities like generating, sharing, or hoarding content that sexually exploits children. Whether it's pornographic images, lewd videos, or text that alludes to the sexual victimization of minors, all such materials are strictly off-limits.
Users are bound by law and ethics to report any inklings of child sexual abuse or exploration witnessed within the app without delay. Local law enforcement agencies, child welfare organizations, or other relevant official bodies should be the recipients of such reports. Simultaneously, the app's developers and operators reserve the right and have the responsibility to forward these concerns to the proper authorities and offer unwavering support throughout the resulting investigations.
Our stance on child sexual abuse and exploration within this app is unwavering: zero tolerance. Those users who are proven to have breached this fundamental prohibition will have their accounts terminated for good. Moreover, they will be exposed to the full force of the law, facing potential criminal prosecutions. We will go to extreme lengths to barricade the app against such illegal uses, thus protecting the most vulnerable members of society.
By simply accessing and using Milaap, users implicitly accept and are held accountable for adhering to this anti-child sexual abuse and exploration rule. To further this cause, we will initiate educational campaigns. These efforts aim to impress upon users the critical importance of staving off child sexual exploitation and equip them with practical knowledge on how to detect and report such dreadful activities.
4. Rights We Grant You
Milaap grants you a personal,
worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, nonexclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use
the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of letting you use and enjoy the Services' benefits in a way
that these Terms and our usage policies, such as our Community Guidelines.
Any software that we provide you
may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, or other new features. You may be able to adjust these
automatic downloads through your device's settings.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease
any part of our Services, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software,
unless applicable laws prohibit these restrictions or you have our written permission to do
so.
5. Rights You Grant Us
Many of our Services
let you make calls, create, upload, post, send, receive, and store content. When you do that, you retain whatever
ownership rights in that content you had to begin with. But you grant us a license to use that content. How broad
that license is depends on which Services you use and the Settings you have selected.
For all Services you
grant Milaap a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display,
reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, and distribute that content. This license is for the limited purpose of
operating, developing, providing, promoting, and improving the Services and researching and developing new
ones.
Because Services are inherently public and chronicle matters of public interest, the license you
grant us for content submitted to those Services is broader. In addition to granting us the rights mentioned in
the previous paragraph, you also grant us a perpetual license to create derivative works from, promote, exhibit,
broadcast, syndicate, sublicense, publicly perform, and publicly display content submitted to Services in any form
and in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). To the extent it's necessary,
when you appear in, create, upload, post, or send content, you also grant Milaap and our business partners the
unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual right and license to use your name, likeness, and voice. This means, among
other things, that you will not be entitled to any compensation from Milaap or our business partners if your name,
likeness, or voice is conveyed through Services, either on the Milaap application or on one of our business
partner's platforms.
For more information about how to tailor who can watch your content, please take a
look at our Privacy Policy.
We may record your conversations for safety and
quality reasons, in particular to learn how you use the app and make your usage experience better.
While
we're not required to do so, we may access, review, screen, and delete your content at any time and for any
reason, including if we think your content violates these Terms. You alone, though, remain responsible for the
content you create, upload, post, send, or store through the Service.
When a user reports inappropriate or
harmful behavior within chats on Milaap, our moderation team may review the reported communication to ensure
compliance with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. This review is conducted solely to address the
specific issue raised and to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all users. Our team is committed to
respecting your privacy and will limit their review to the information necessary for resolving the reported
issue.
The Services may contain advertisements. In consideration for Milaap letting you access and use the
Services, you agree that we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on the Services.
Because the Services contain content that you and other users provide us, advertising may sometimes appear near
your content.
We always love to hear from our users. But if you volunteer feedback or suggestions, just
know that we can use your ideas without compensating you.
6. The Content of
Others
Much of the content on our Services is produced by users, publishers,
and other third parties. Whether that content is posted publicly or sent privately, the content is the sole
responsibility of the person or organization that submitted it. Although Milaap reserves the right to review all
content that appears on the Services and to remove any content that violates these Terms, we do not necessarily
review all of it. So we cannot—and do not—take responsibility for any content that others provide through the
Services.
Through these Terms and our Community Guidelines, we make clear that we do not want the Services
put to bad uses. But because we do not review all content, we cannot guarantee that content on the Services will
always conform to our Terms or Guidelines.
7.
Privacy
Your privacy matters to us. You can learn how we handle your
information when you use our Services by reading our Privacy Policy. We encourage
you to give the Privacy Policy a careful look because, by using our Services, you agree that Milaap can collect,
use, and transfer your information consistent with that policy.
8. Respecting
Other People's Rights
Milaap respects the rights of others. And so should
you. You therefore may not upload, post, send, or store content that:
You must also respect Milaap's rights. These Terms do not grant you any right to:
9. Safety
We try hard to keep our Services a safe place for
all users. But we can't guarantee it. That's where you come in. By using the Services, you agree that:
We also care about your safety while using our Services. So do not use our Services in a way that would
distract you from obeying traffic or safety laws. For example, never use our Services and drive. And never put
yourself or others in harm's way just to post or talk on Milaap.
10. Your
Account
You are responsible for any activity that occurs in your Milaap
account. So it's important that you keep your account secure. One way to do that is to select a strong password
that you don't use for any other account.
By using the Services, you agree that, in addition to exercising
common sense:
11. Data Charges and Mobile Phones
You are responsible for
any mobile charges that you may incur for using our Services, including calls, text-messaging and data charges. If
you're unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your service provider before using the Services.
If
you change or deactivate the mobile phone number that you used to create a Milaap account, you must update your
account information through Settings within 72 hours.
12. Third-Party
Services
If you use a service, feature, or functionality that is operated by
a third party and made available through our Services (including Services we jointly offer with the third party),
each party's terms will govern the respective party's relationship with you. Milaap is not responsible or liable
for a third party's terms or actions taken under the third party's terms.
13.
Modifying the Services and Termination
We're relentlessly improving our
Services and creating new ones all the time. That means we may add or remove features, products, or
functionalities, and we may also suspend or stop the Services altogether. We may take any of these actions at any
time, and when we do, we may not provide you with any notice beforehand.
While we hope you remain a
lifelong Milaap user, you can terminate these Terms at any time and for any reason by deleting your
account.
Milaap may also terminate these Terms with you at any time, for any reason, and without advanced
notice. That means that we may stop providing you with any Services, or impose new or additional limits on your
ability to use the Services. For example, we may deactivate your account due to prolonged inactivity, and we may
reclaim your username at any time for any reason.
Regardless of who terminates these Terms, both you and
Milaap continue to be bound by Sections 4, 7, 10, and 13-22 of the Terms.
14.
Indemnity
You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Milaap, our directors, officers, employees, and affiliates from and against
any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your
content; and (c) your breach of these Terms.
15.
Disclaimers

annoyances. But we make no promises that we will succeed.

AVAILABLE" AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,

Milaap TAKES NO
RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CONTENT THAT YOU, ANOTHER USER, OR A THIRD PARTY CREATES, UPLOADS,

CONTENT THAT MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE, ILLEGAL, MISLEADING, OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE, NONE OF WHICH Milaap WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR.
16. Limitation of Liability
TO
THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MILAAP AND OUR MANAGING MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES,
LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR
MULTIPLE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF
DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO
ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (B) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES;
OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT, EVEN IF MILAAP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL MILAAP'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES EXCEED THE
GREATER OF $100 USD OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID MILAAP, IF ANY, IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS
SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
17. Exclusive Venue
To the extent the
parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Milaap agree that all
claims and disputes, including statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use
of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Central District of
California. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all such claims and
disputes will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. You and Milaap
consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.
18.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then
that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining
provisions.
19. Refund Policy
All sales through
the Service are final. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees and other charges (including, without
limitation, virtual items) are not refundable in whole or in part. You are fully liable for all charges to your
account, including but not limited to any unauthorized charges. We do not issue any refunds or offer any exchanges
of any products purchased on or through the Services.
20. Additional Terms for
Specific Services
Given the breadth of our Services, we sometimes need to
craft additional terms and conditions for specific Services. Those additional terms and conditions, which will be
available with the relevant Services, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those
Services.
