The ground rules.

1. Agreeing to these terms

By using Echofolk, you agree to these terms, to our privacy policy, and to Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, which also apply whenever you use Discord.

2. Who can use Echofolk

• You must be 18 or older to use matchmaking.
• You need a Discord account in good standing.
• One person, one account. Don't create accounts to get around a block, suspension or ban.

3. What Echofolk is

Echofolk helps people meet for friendship, shared interests and community. It is not a dating service. It's free, and we can't promise you'll always find a match. We may change, pause or stop features as the app grows.

4. Community rules

• Be kind. No harassment, bullying, threats or hate speech.
• No sexual content, sexual advances or requests for photos.
• Don't pressure anyone to share personal information, move to voice, or reveal their Discord account.
• No spam, scams, advertising or recruiting.
• Don't share anyone else's personal information, or screenshots of chats to embarrass or target someone.
• Be honest about yourself. Join the LGBTQ+ Circle only if you're LGBTQ+ — it's a space for the community.
• Never use Echofolk to contact or harm minors.

5. What you share

You're responsible for the messages you send. We relay them to the people you're matched with and keep them briefly for safety, as described in the privacy policy. Moderators may read messages that are attached to a report.

Chats start anonymous, and you decide whether to share your Discord username. In a voice room, Discord shows everyone's profile. Take care before sharing contact details with people you've just met.

6. Safety and moderation

If you break these rules, we may warn you, remove you from the LGBTQ+ Circle, pause your matchmaking, or ban you from Echofolk. Some protections happen automatically — for example, several reports may pause an account until a moderator reviews it. If you think we got it wrong, contact us at tiffingames.studio@gmail.com and a person will look at it.

Blocking and reporting are always free and always available. If you're ever in danger, contact your local emergency services.

7. Supporting Echofolk

You can choose to support Echofolk with a voluntary payment through a third-party service. Support doesn't unlock features or change how matching works. Payments are handled by that service under its own terms, and are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.

8. No guarantees

Echofolk is provided “as is”. We work hard to keep it safe and running, but we can't guarantee it will always be available or error-free, and we aren't responsible for how other people behave. To the extent the law allows, TiffinGames isn't liable for indirect losses arising from your use of Echofolk.

9. Ending things

You can stop using Echofolk and delete your account at any time with /safety. We may stop offering the app, and will give notice in the community server where we reasonably can.

10. Changes, law and contact

We may update these terms. If we do, we'll change the date above, and continuing to use Echofolk means you accept the new version. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
