Terms of Use

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and KenoChat (“KenoChat,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of our forum and discussion platform, including our website, applications, and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. If local law requires a higher minimum age for use of online services without parental consent, you must satisfy that age requirement. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction or any applicable sanctions or export control regimes.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it up to date. Notify us immediately at support@kenochat.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information or that we reasonably believe are compromised.

4. User Content and License

“User Content” means any posts, comments, messages, images, or other material you submit to the Service. You retain all ownership rights in your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant KenoChat a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (e.g., resize images), and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, promoting, and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete the applicable content or your account, except to the extent it was shared with others who have not deleted it, or where retention is required for legal, safety, or backup purposes.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content, and that it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or threatening;
• Infringe any intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any party;
• Upload malware, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users’ accounts;
• Send spam, unsolicited advertising, or engage in scraping or automated data collection without our written permission;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation;
• Circumvent or interfere with security features, rate limits, or moderation systems; or
• Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.

We may remove content, issue warnings, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or our community guidelines, at our reasonable discretion and, where feasible, with notice to you.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, graphics, logos, and the KenoChat name and marks, is owned by KenoChat or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, no other rights or licenses are granted, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

7. Copyright Complaints (DMCA and Equivalent)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to support@kenochat.com identifying the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized, a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by KenoChat. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. You access them at your own risk.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time through your account settings. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, where required by law, or to protect the safety and integrity of the Service and its users. Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4, 6, 10, 11, and 13) will continue to apply.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT POSTED BY OTHER USERS IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS ANY WARRANTY OR RIGHT THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING STATUTORY CONSUMER PROTECTION RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO YOU IN YOUR JURISDICTION (SUCH AS UNDER EU AND UK CONSUMER LAW).

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KENOCHAT AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) 100 USD (OR THE EQUIVALENT IN LOCAL CURRENCY). THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY FOR DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KenoChat from any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your misuse of the Service, except to the extent caused by our own breach of these Terms or violation of law.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your country or state of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, to the extent your local law does not permit choice of a foreign governing law. Nothing in these Terms deprives you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident, including your right to bring proceedings in your local courts as a consumer. Where not otherwise required by mandatory local law, disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts, and we encourage you to first contact us at support@kenochat.com to resolve any concern informally.

14. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may modify or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; if we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (such as an in-Service notice or email) before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service and may delete your account.

15. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and KenoChat regarding the Service.
