Terms of Use
These terms are the rules for using Loop, run by [OPERATOR NAME] ("we"). By creating an account, you agree to them. If you are under 18, please read them with a parent. Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
1. Who can use Loop
- Under 13: only with a parent's verified consent, given through the process described in our Privacy Policy.
- 13 to 17: with a parent's or guardian's permission. A parent's approval is needed before becoming friends with an adult on Loop.
- 18 and over: welcome, but remember that most people on Loop are children. Adults may only connect with under-18s with a parent's approval, and must never ask a child for personal information, photos, or to meet.
Give your real birthday. An account that lies about age to get around these rules can be removed.
2. Your account
Keep your password and backup codes to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account. If you think someone else has got in, change your password (that logs everyone else out) and tell us.
3. Community rules
Loop only works if it feels safe. On Loop, don't:
- bully, threaten, harass or pressure anyone, or keep contacting someone who has said no or blocked you;
- post anything sexual, or any nudity — and never anything sexual involving a child, which we report to the authorities;
- post violence, self-harm content, hate against any group, or anything dangerous or illegal;
- share personal details that could help someone find a person — home address, school, phone number, passwords — yours or anyone else's;
- post photos or videos of other people without their permission, or keep up something a person in it asks to have removed;
- pretend to be someone else, create accounts to get around a block or removal, or spam;
- try to break, overload or get around Loop's safety features.
4. What you post
You own what you post. By posting it, you let Loop store it and show it to the people you chose (friends, or everyone for a public post), only so we can run Loop. That permission ends when you delete it, except for copies we keep for a short time in backups or as part of a safety report (see the Privacy Policy).
5. Reporting, takedowns and how we enforce the rules
- You can report any post, message or person from inside Loop, and block anyone at any time.
- If you are in a photo or video on Loop and want it gone — member or not — use our takedown page. We hide the post as soon as we get the request.
- We review reports [RESPONSE TIME, e.g. within 48 hours]. We may hide or remove content, limit features, or suspend or delete accounts that break these rules, and we may contact a child's parent.
6. Parents
A parent of a child under 13 can see what we hold about their child, switch off video calls or photo and video sharing, and delete the account at any time from the parent dashboard.
7. Payments
Loop does not currently charge for anything. The only charge is the $0.50 card check a parent makes to verify consent, which is refunded immediately. If paid features are ever offered, their price and terms will be shown before anyone pays. [REVIEWER: update if memberships or donations are turned on.]
8. Ending your account
You can delete your account in Settings at any time, and a parent can delete their child's account. We may suspend or remove an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk.
9. Loop is provided as is
We work hard to keep Loop safe and running, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. [REVIEWER: disclaimer and limitation-of-liability wording to be written with legal advice — consumer-protection law limits what can be excluded, especially for children.]
10. Changes
We may update these terms. If a change is important we will tell members in the app, and parents by email, before it applies.
11. Law
These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE], United States.
