Terms & Conditions — thebutton

By creating an account or joining a group on thebutton, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

1. Eligibility & Accounts

You must be 16 years or older and enter an accurate birth date.
You are responsible for safeguarding your device and sign-in method (Apple, Google, or on-device account). On-device accounts cannot be recovered if you uninstall or lose your device without linking Apple or Google.

2. Acceptable Use & Safety

Only share photos, captions, and content you have the right to share.
Do not post sexual, violent, harassing, hateful, privacy-invading (including non-consensual private imagery), or illegal content.
Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse or exploitation material (CSAM).
You can report content and block people in the app. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

3. Group Rules & Server Authority

All deadlines, HP gains, time caps (72h from photos, 96h from the Button), monthly per-group Button turns, 48h recovery windows, and 7-day archive windows are determined authoritatively by the server.
On-device animations or countdowns are visual indicators only and are never proof of a committed server result.
Push notifications, home-screen widgets, and screenshot notices operate on a best-effort basis within operating-system limits; we do not guarantee delivery timing or complete capture detection.

4. Purchases & Subscriptions

Paid plans or in-app items, when offered, are billed and managed by the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Deleting your thebutton account does not cancel an active App Store or Google Play subscription. Cancel subscriptions directly through your store account settings.

5. Service Availability

thebutton is provided on an “as is” basis. We may update, pause, or discontinue features to maintain safety and reliability, and will update these terms accordingly.
