Vaultside Terms of Use
Last updated: August 21, 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
By creating an account or using the Vaultside application ("the Application", "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use as well as our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the Service.
2. Minimum age required
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are between 13 and the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm that you have permission from a parent or guardian to use the Service. Vaultside offers a Parental Mode (PIN code lock, message restrictions, comment filtering, forced private account) intended to help parents supervise use of the application, but this feature does not replace parental supervision and does not constitute age verification.
3. Your account
You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for any activity carried out from your account. You must provide us with accurate information when registering. Only one account per person is allowed, unless otherwise authorized by us.
4. User-posted content
You retain all rights to the posts, photos, videos, comments, and messages you publish ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute it as part of operating the Service — this license ends as soon as you delete the content or your account.
You are solely responsible for the User Content you post. This content must belong to you, or you must have the necessary rights to post it.
5. Rules of conduct
By using Vaultside, you agree not to post or share content that:
- contains nudity or unsolicited sexually explicit content;
- depicts or promotes violence;
- constitutes hate speech, harassment, or bullying of others;
- spreads false information in a misleading or harmful way;
- promotes the sale of illegal goods or services;
- constitutes spam or abusive use of the Service;
- infringes on a third party's intellectual property rights;
- violates any applicable law.
6. Content moderation
To ensure a safe environment, Vaultside uses both automated moderation (AI-based nudity and violence detection on posted images and videos) and a reporting system allowing any user to report a post they consider inappropriate. Any content identified as inappropriate may be rejected before publication or removed afterward, without notice.
We reserve the right to suspend or delete any account that violates these terms, at our sole discretion.
7. Blocking and reporting
You may block another account at any time; blocking prevents any mutual access (profile, posts, messages, following). You may also report a post you consider inappropriate; reports are reviewed by our moderation team.
8. Encrypted private messaging
Private messages sent on Vaultside are end-to-end encrypted: we cannot read, moderate, or recover the content of your private conversations. The decryption key is stored only on your device. This means that:
- we cannot intervene on the content of your private messages, including in the event of a report;
- if you lose access to your device without a backup, your message history becomes permanently unreadable;
- it is your responsibility to report any abusive behavior received via message so that we can take action on the account concerned.
9. Account deletion
You can permanently delete your account at any time from the application (Settings > Accounts Center > Password and Security > Delete my account), or by contacting us if you no longer have access to the application. Deletion permanently erases your profile, posts, comments, messages, and follows; this action is irreversible.
10. Intellectual property
The Vaultside name, its logo, and all elements of the Application (except for User Content) are our property or that of our licensors. You may not reproduce or use them without prior written authorization.
11. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fully secure.
12. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of the Service, including loss of data or content.
13. Changes to these terms
We may modify these terms at any time. Significant changes will be communicated to you via the application. Your continued use of the Service after a modification constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
14. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, in the event of a violation of these terms.
