Welcome to TymeLyne. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the TymeLyne mobile application, website, beta builds, and related features, content, and services (collectively, the “Services”). Please read them carefully. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

TymeLyne is a private social network designed for sharing Daily Updates with chosen audiences and preserving selected moments as Timeline memories. Privacy controls shape who TymeLyne delivers your content to, but no online service can guarantee that a recipient will not copy, record, or share what they receive.

1. Your agreement with TymeLyne

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and TymeLyne, the operator of the Services from India (“TymeLyne,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). If you use the Services for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes both you and the organization.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect information. It is part of your relationship with TymeLyne and should be read with these Terms. Feature-specific notices, in-product rules, beta terms, promotion rules, or purchase terms may also apply. If additional terms conflict with these Terms for a particular feature, the additional terms control for that feature to the extent of the conflict.

2. Who may use the Services

You may use the Services only if you can legally enter into this agreement, are not prohibited from receiving the Services under applicable law, and meet the minimum age and consent rules where you live.

General minimum. You must be at least 13 and must meet any higher minimum age or parent/guardian-consent requirement that applies in your location.
Australia. If TymeLyne is treated as an age-restricted social-media platform under Australian law, you must be at least 16 to create or keep an account in Australia.
India. If you are under 18, you may create or use an account only if TymeLyne has made a legally compliant parent or guardian consent process available and the required consent has been obtained. If no such process is available, the minimum age for use in India is 18.
Other locations. If local law requires parent or guardian consent above age 13, you may use TymeLyne only after that consent is validly obtained through a process we support.

If you are a parent or guardian who authorizes a young person to use TymeLyne, you are responsible for supervising their use to the extent permitted by law. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify age or consent and may restrict, suspend, or delete an account that does not meet these requirements.

You may not use the Services if we previously permanently disabled your account for serious or repeated violations, unless we give you written permission to return.

3. Your account

Accurate information. Provide current, truthful information and keep account and contact details reasonably up to date.
Account security. Keep your password, device, sign-in credentials, and verification codes secure. Do not share credentials or allow another person to use your account in a misleading or unauthorized way.
Responsibility for activity. You are responsible for activity through your account unless it results from a security failure for which TymeLyne is legally responsible. Contact us promptly if you suspect compromise or unauthorized access.
No account trading. You may not sell, rent, license, purchase, or transfer an account or username without our written permission.
Usernames. Usernames must not impersonate others, infringe rights, mislead people, contain prohibited abuse, or create a safety risk. We may change, reclaim, or remove a username when reasonably necessary.
Third-party sign-in. If you use Apple, Google, or another sign-in provider, you must also comply with that provider’s applicable terms.

4. Licence to use the Services

Subject to these Terms, TymeLyne grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable licence to install and use the application and access the Services for lawful, non-commercial purposes. This is a licence, not a sale. TymeLyne and its licensors retain all rights in the Services, including software, design, branding, interfaces, and other materials, except for your User Content and third-party materials.

Unless applicable law prevents the restriction, you may not:

copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works from the Services or their software except as expressly allowed;
reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, discover source code, or bypass technical protections, except to the limited extent the law expressly permits;
scrape, crawl, index, archive, or use bots, scripts, automated accounts, or other automated means to access the Services or collect content or account data without our written permission;
interfere with operation or security, probe vulnerabilities without authorization, introduce malware, overload infrastructure, or evade access or rate limits;
use TymeLyne content, private communications, or personal data to build surveillance tools, facial-recognition databases, data-broker products, or artificial-intelligence training datasets without all necessary rights and our written permission; or
remove ownership notices, falsely imply TymeLyne’s endorsement, or use our name, marks, or branding except as permitted by law or with our written permission.

5. Your content and the licence you give TymeLyne

5.1 You keep ownership

“User Content” means photos, videos, audio, text, notes, captions, profile and Wiki information, links, Timeline memories, Daily Updates, reactions, responses, comments, reports, and other material you submit or create through the Services. As between you and TymeLyne, you retain the ownership rights you have in your User Content.

You are responsible for your User Content. You confirm that you own it or have all permissions needed to upload and share it, and that our permitted use of it will not violate another person’s privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, contractual, or other rights. Obtain consent before sharing another person’s private or sensitive information.

5.2 Service-operation licence

When you submit User Content, you grant TymeLyne a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, cache, reproduce, process, adapt for technical formatting, transmit, display, and otherwise use that content only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and moderate the Services; honor your selected audience and privacy settings; comply with law; and enforce these Terms. This licence includes the right to engage infrastructure, hosting, content-delivery, security, and other service providers to perform those functions for TymeLyne. Those providers may use the content only to provide their services to us under appropriate restrictions.

The licence is sublicensable only to those service providers and transferable only as part of a permitted transfer of the Services or TymeLyne’s business. It does not give us permission to sell your private content, use it in third-party targeted advertising, or train generative-artificial-intelligence models on your private content or personal information.

The licence ends when your User Content is deleted from our active systems, except to the extent limited copies remain temporarily in backups, must be preserved for security, legal, safety, or dispute purposes, or were independently saved or shared by a recipient. Aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably identify you may be retained and used.

5.3 Audience choices and recipient actions

TymeLyne may let you share supported content with your Circle, Followers, both, only yourself, or another available audience. We use those settings to decide who the Services deliver content to. Settings do not create a legal duty of confidentiality for recipients and cannot prevent screenshots, screen recordings, downloads, copying with another device, or onward sharing. Choose your audience carefully and do not share content that would create serious harm if copied.

If you repost, quote, tag, or otherwise include another person’s material, you must respect their rights and the context in which it was shared. Removing a person from your audience or changing an audience later may not remove copies they already received.

5.4 Feedback

If you voluntarily send ideas, suggestions, or feedback about TymeLyne, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use and incorporate that feedback without restriction or payment, provided we do not publicly identify you as its source without permission.

6. Daily Updates, Timeline, Media Bank, and in-app indicators

Daily Updates. Daily Updates are designed to expire after 24 hours unless saved to Timeline. Technical delays, moderation, legal preservation, backups, or copies made by recipients may cause some material to remain longer.
Timeline. Timeline memories are intended to remain available until you delete them or delete your account, subject to these Terms and service availability. Timeline is not a guaranteed permanent archive.
Media Bank. Media Bank may store supported captures locally on your device and is subject to technical and capacity limits. Deleting the app, clearing app data, losing a device, or device failure may remove locally stored media.
Your backup responsibility. Keep an independent copy of content that is important to you. We do not promise that any content, draft, memory, response, or account data will always be available, recoverable, or free from corruption.
Points and indicators. Interaction points, badges, counts, streaks, labels, and similar in-app indicators are informational features only. Unless specific purchase terms say otherwise, they have no monetary value, are not property, and cannot be sold, transferred, or redeemed for cash.

7. Respect others and use TymeLyne lawfully

You must comply with applicable law, these Terms, and any safety or feature rules presented in the Services. You may not use the Services to create, upload, share, promote, request, coordinate, or facilitate:

Child exploitation or endangerment. Sexual content involving minors, grooming, sextortion, trafficking, or any conduct that exploits or endangers a child.
Non-consensual intimate material. Intimate imagery shared or threatened without valid consent, including altered or synthetic intimate imagery, sexual exploitation, or voyeuristic material.
Violence and dangerous conduct. Credible threats, terrorism or violent-extremist support, instructions intended to enable serious harm, graphic abuse, or encouragement of suicide or self-harm.
Hate, harassment, or abuse. Attacks based on protected characteristics, slurs, dehumanization, targeted harassment, bullying, stalking, sexual harassment, doxxing, or coordinated abuse.
Fraud and deception. Scams, phishing, identity theft, impersonation, manipulated identity, fake accounts used to deceive, financial fraud, or misleading schemes.
Illegal or regulated activity. Unlawful transactions or promotion of illegal drugs, weapons, trafficking, gambling, or regulated goods and services in a way that violates applicable law.
Sexual exploitation or prohibited nudity. Pornographic solicitation, sexual services, exploitative sexual content, or other sexual material prohibited by law or our safety standards.
Privacy or intellectual-property violations. Content that unlawfully reveals personal information, violates confidentiality, infringes copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other rights, or unlawfully distributes leaked material.
Spam and platform manipulation. Unsolicited bulk activity, engagement manipulation, fake interactions, coordinated inauthentic behavior, unauthorized promotions, malware, or attempts to manipulate discovery, reporting, or enforcement systems.
Unauthorized access or data collection. Account compromise, credential collection, circumvention of blocks or bans, scraping, surveillance, or collection of another person’s data without authorization.

Context matters. Educational, documentary, newsworthy, counterspeech, or support content may be treated differently when lawful and appropriately presented, but context does not excuse exploitation, credible threats, targeted abuse, or illegal material. We may apply additional protections to younger users.

8. Reports, blocking, safety, and emergencies

Use in-app reporting, blocking, muting, and audience controls when available. Reports should be made honestly and must not be used to harass, silence, or retaliate against others. We may ask for additional information and may share report details with service providers, advisers, rights holders, regulators, or law enforcement when reasonably necessary and lawful.

TymeLyne is not an emergency service and does not monitor every account or communication in real time. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis service first. Do not rely on a report to TymeLyne as a substitute for urgent professional help.

We may take urgent protective action, preserve evidence, and notify appropriate authorities when we reasonably believe there is imminent harm, child exploitation, a credible threat, serious fraud, or another legal or safety need.

9. Content moderation and enforcement

We may review content, account information, and reports when needed to operate and protect the Services, investigate possible violations, respond to complaints, or comply with law. Audience settings do not prevent this limited review. We are not obligated to pre-screen every item or guarantee that all objectionable or unlawful material will be identified or removed.

Depending on the circumstances, we may issue a warning; remove or restrict content; reduce distribution; disable interactions; change or reclaim a username; limit features; require age or identity-related verification; freeze, suspend, or terminate an account; prevent a person from creating another account; preserve records; or refer a matter to authorities. We may act without advance notice when notice would create risk, interfere with an investigation, be unlawful, or be impracticable.

We consider factors such as severity, context, intent, harm, risk, account history, and legal requirements. Enforcement may be imperfect. If you believe we made an error, you may promptly request review through an available in-app process or by contacting support. A review request does not guarantee restoration.

Where Indian intermediary law applies, we aim to acknowledge qualifying grievances within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days or any shorter period required for the relevant category. Reports involving non-consensual intimate material, sexual impersonation, or similar urgent harms will be handled within the legally required time where that law applies.

10. Intellectual-property complaints

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe material on TymeLyne infringes your copyright, trademark, or another right, email tymelynesupport@gmail.com with the subject “Intellectual Property Notice” and include:

your full name, contact information, and electronic or physical signature;
identification of the protected work or right you claim is infringed;
enough information to locate the material in TymeLyne, such as the account, post, Timeline item, URL, screenshot, and relevant date;
a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law; and
a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorized to act for the owner.

We may forward a complaint to the affected user and may remove or restrict material while reviewing it. Knowingly submitting a false or misleading notice may create legal liability. A user who believes material was removed by mistake may contact us with an explanation and supporting evidence. We may terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe rights when appropriate.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes our data practices and your choices. By using the Services, you acknowledge that TymeLyne will process information as described there and in feature-specific notices. Device permissions—such as camera, photos, microphone, location while using the app, and notifications—can generally be managed through your device settings, but disabling a required permission may prevent the related feature from working.

You may not use information obtained through TymeLyne for unauthorized profiling, advertising, discrimination, surveillance, harassment, or data brokerage. If you process another person’s information outside the ordinary personal use of the Services, you are responsible for having a lawful basis and providing any required notices.

12. Third-party services, links, and content

The Services may connect to or display services, content, links, authentication, weather data, GIFs, media, maps, websites, or tools provided by independent third parties. Their terms and privacy practices apply to your use of their offerings. TymeLyne does not control and is not responsible for independent third-party services, their availability, or their content, except where applicable law says otherwise.

A link, integration, or appearance in TymeLyne does not necessarily mean we endorse the third party. Use care before leaving TymeLyne, sharing credentials, making a purchase, or relying on third-party information.

13. App-store terms

If you download the application from Apple’s App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and TymeLyne, not the app-store provider. TymeLyne—not the app-store provider—is responsible for the application, support, and these Terms, subject to applicable law. You must also comply with the store’s usage rules and account terms.

For an iOS download, Apple and its subsidiaries are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section and may enforce the app-store-related provisions against you. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support and has only the warranty obligations, if any, imposed by its standard store terms and applicable law. Similar limitations apply to Google to the extent stated in Google Play’s applicable terms.

14. Communications and electronic notices

You agree that we may send service, security, verification, legal, and account notices electronically, including by email, in-app message, push notification, or posting in the Services. Keep your contact information current. Notices are effective when sent or posted, subject to mandatory law.

You can manage optional push categories in TymeLyne or device settings. You cannot opt out of communications reasonably necessary for security, account administration, transactions, or legal compliance while you maintain an account.

15. Changes, availability, and beta features

We may add, modify, test, limit, suspend, or discontinue features; change technical or storage limits; or update how the Services work. We will provide notice when required by law or when a change materially reduces an ongoing paid entitlement. We do not promise that every feature will be available in every country, on every device, or at all times.

Beta, preview, and experimental features may be incomplete, change without notice, contain errors, or be withdrawn. Use them at your own risk and keep independent copies of important material. Feedback about beta features is subject to Section 5.4.

Outages, maintenance, network failures, provider issues, security incidents, legal requirements, and events beyond reasonable control may interrupt the Services. We will use reasonable efforts to restore service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

16. Paid features

TymeLyne’s current core Services do not require a paid subscription. If we introduce a paid feature, the price, billing period, renewal terms, cancellation method, taxes, and any additional conditions will be shown before purchase. App-store purchases are processed under the applicable store’s payment and refund rules, together with mandatory consumer law. Unless clearly stated in purchase terms, in-app indicators or interaction points are not purchased currency and have no cash value.

17. Deactivation, deletion, suspension, and termination

17.1 Your choices

You may stop using the Services at any time. Where available, you may deactivate your account or request permanent deletion through the app or by contacting support. Deactivation may hide or restrict the account while allowing reactivation for a limited period. Permanent deletion is subject to verification, processing time, backup cycles, and lawful retention described in the Privacy Policy.

17.2 Our enforcement rights

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created legal or safety risk, infringed rights, compromised security, used the Services fraudulently, failed to meet eligibility requirements, or exposed TymeLyne or others to harm. We may also close inactive accounts or discontinue the Services, subject to any notice required by law.

17.3 What happens after termination

When these Terms or your account end, your licence to use the Services ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should continue—including ownership, content licences for retained copies, feedback, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, disputes, and general provisions—survive. Termination does not erase rights, obligations, or liabilities that arose earlier.

18. Disclaimers

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, remedies, or other rights that cannot legally be excluded. Subject to those rights, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, TymeLyne disclaims implied warranties and conditions, including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, accurate, complete, or error-free.

TymeLyne does not control and does not endorse User Content merely because it appears in the Services. You are responsible for deciding whether to rely on content or interact with another user. We do not guarantee the identity, conduct, statements, or qualifications of users or third parties.

No advice or information from TymeLyne creates a warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. The Services are not designed as emergency, medical, legal, financial, or records-preservation services.

19. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, wilful misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot be limited, or any other liability or consumer right that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TymeLyne and its founders, affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, or data; device damage; or the cost of substitute services arising from or related to the Services, even if advised that such loss was possible.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TymeLyne’s total aggregate liability for all claims arising from or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid TymeLyne for the Services during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) INR 10,000. The exclusions and cap apply only to the extent they are lawful in your location.

20. Your responsibility for claims

To the extent permitted by law, if you use the Services on behalf of a business or your unlawful conduct, User Content, or material breach of these Terms causes a third-party claim against TymeLyne, you will indemnify and hold TymeLyne and its affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors harmless from resulting claims, damages, judgments, penalties, and reasonable legal costs. We will give reasonable notice and may control the defense and settlement, while allowing your reasonable participation. This Section does not require a consumer to indemnify TymeLyne where such an obligation is prohibited or unfair under applicable law.

21. Resolving disputes and governing law

21.1 Contact us first

Before starting formal proceedings, please email tymelynesupport@gmail.com with your account information, a description of the dispute, and the resolution you seek. Except for urgent safety matters, intellectual-property protection, or claims near a legal deadline, each party agrees to try in good faith for 30 days to resolve the matter informally.

21.2 Law and courts

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to mandatory consumer and jurisdictional rights, disputes will be brought in the courts in India that have territorial jurisdiction over TymeLyne’s registered office. If the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts or under mandatory local consumer law, these Terms do not take that right away.

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or protective relief from a court with jurisdiction. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not waive any non-waivable right to participate in a collective or representative proceeding.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Services, business, risks, or laws change. We will revise the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice of material changes through the app, website, email, or another appropriate method. Unless law requires otherwise, material changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date.

If you continue using the Services after updated Terms take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services and may request account deletion. If applicable law requires express consent, we will request it.

23. General provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable additional terms are the entire agreement between you and TymeLyne about the Services and replace earlier agreements on the same subject.
Severability. If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue.
No waiver. A delay or failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. A waiver must be clear and applies only to the specific instance.
Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms or your account without our written permission. We may transfer these Terms in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the Services, subject to law and the Privacy Policy.
No agency. These Terms do not create employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, or agency relationship between you and TymeLyne.
Third-party rights. Except for app-store beneficiaries stated in Section 13 and TymeLyne parties protected by Sections 19 and 20, these Terms do not give rights to anyone other than you and TymeLyne.
Force majeure. TymeLyne is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, such as natural disasters, war, civil disorder, government action, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, provider outages, or cyberattacks, except where law provides otherwise.
Language. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls to the extent permitted by law if there is a conflict.

24. Contact and grievance redressal

For questions about these Terms, account issues, safety reports, legal notices, or complaints, contact:

Include the email or username associated with your account, the type of request, relevant content or account details, and the resolution you seek. Do not send your password or one-time verification code. We will handle grievances within the period required by applicable law. You may also have the right to contact a consumer, online-safety, data-protection, or other regulator in your location.
