Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the relationship between you ("user", "you") and the operator of the RingsFlow platform. By using the service (creating an account, accessing the website or app, uploading content) you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the service and do not create an account.

2. What RingsFlow is

RingsFlow is a community and creator platform focused on spirituality, personal development, education, creativity and connecting people. Within the service, users may, among other things:

• create profiles and share content ("Flow") — text, photos, videos and other media;
• create and join communities ("Rings"), including public and private circles where entry requests are approved;
• follow users, save posts and communicate in line with the features of the service;
• offer paid content and memberships (Inner Ring) through creator features where made available;
• in the future use further features (live streaming, calls, courses — "Paths") as they are gradually introduced.

Actually available features may change over time; we do not undertake that every feature described above will be active at any given moment.

3. Eligibility, registration and account

3.1 Age

RingsFlow may be used only by persons who are 18 years of age or older. The service is not intended for children or minors. If you are under 18, you may not create an account or use the service. By registering you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.

3.2 Registration

• One person may normally hold and manage one user account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent the rules is prohibited.
• Registration details must be truthful and current. Creating fake profiles or impersonating another person or entity is prohibited.
• You are responsible for the security of your login credentials. If you become aware of misuse of your account, contact us without delay.

3.3 Suspension for breach

We may temporarily restrict or permanently close an account that violates these Terms or the law (see the moderation section).

4. Your content and licence

You remain the owner of the content you upload to RingsFlow (posts, photos, videos, comments, text). By uploading content you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence needed to operate the service: storage, display, technical processing, back-up and making content available to other users in line with the visibility you choose.

You also represent and warrant that:

• you have all rights and permissions needed for the content you upload;
• the content does not infringe the rights of third parties (in particular copyrights, trademarks and personality rights);
• the content is not contrary to these Terms or applicable law.

The licence ends with respect to content you remove yourself, except for necessary copies in back-ups and cases where the content has been further shared by other users.

5. External content and connected services

RingsFlow may allow users to embed or connect content from third parties, such as TikTok or YouTube ("external content").

• Embedded external content remains content provided by the relevant third-party platform and is governed by its own terms and privacy policies.
• For such content RingsFlow normally stores only the URL and necessary metadata and displays it through a supported integration.
• Unless we have permission, we do not download or host copies of videos from these platforms.

You are responsible for your use of connected services (for example connecting a TikTok account); you may disconnect them at any time in your settings.

6. Rings Music and AI-generated content

Through future features RingsFlow may offer music created or licensed by RingsFlow ("Rings Music") and tools that use artificial intelligence (AI).

• You may use Rings Music and AI outputs only within the RingsFlow service and in line with these Terms and any specific rules of the relevant feature.
• Exporting resulting content (for example a video) outside RingsFlow is possible only if and to the extent the relevant feature expressly allows it.
• You may not resell or redistribute Rings Music or use it in a way that infringes the rights of RingsFlow or third parties.
• You are responsible for content created with AI and must not use it to create misleading, fraudulent or unlawful content.

7. Prohibited content and conduct

On RingsFlow it is prohibited to:

• share illegal content or content inciting violence or hatred;
• harass, intimidate, bully or stalk other users;
• impersonate another person, entity or public figure;
• spread fraud, spam, malware, phishing or other harmful content;
• infringe copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights;
• publish sexual content contrary to our rules (including any sexual content involving persons under 18, which is strictly forbidden and will be reported to the relevant authorities);
• share violent or extremely distressing content;
• share other people's personal data without their consent (doxxing);
• circumvent technical measures, probe vulnerabilities or disrupt the service;
• use the service for unlawful activity.

8. Content moderation (DSA)

RingsFlow is a service that hosts user content. In line with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) and these Terms, we reserve the right to:

• hide, restrict, flag or disable the display of content;
• restrict or suspend an account that repeatedly or seriously breaches the rules;
• remove unlawful content or content that breaches these Terms.

Moderation decisions are made using automated tools and human review. If a decision to remove or restrict content concerns your content or account, you may submit a complaint (appeal) through the contacts in these Terms or the in-service reporting mechanism. We will review the complaint and respond within a reasonable time.

When deciding whether content is unlawful, we take into account the freedom of expression and information and the rights of the persons concerned.

9. Notices of illegal content and copyright infringement

The service provides an electronic "Report" mechanism through which anyone may report content they believe to be unlawful or in breach of the rules. Notices of illegal content and complaints may also be sent to legal@ringsflow.com.

If you believe that content on RingsFlow infringes your copyright, please send us:

• identification of the work allegedly infringed;
• the URL of the disputed content on RingsFlow;
• your contact details and a statement on the validity of the request.

We will evaluate requests and may remove or disable the disputed content. Knowingly false reports may lead to account restrictions.

10. Rings, communities and roles

Rings are user communities. We distinguish:

• public Rings — any user may join;
• private Rings — entry is requested and approved by the Ring Keeper (owner);
• secret Rings — non-members cannot see their existence;
• paid/exclusive Rings (Inner Ring) — if and when made available.

The Ring Keeper decides on entry requests, may set ring rules and manage members. The founder of a Ring is responsible for the content and operation of the Ring being in line with these Terms. RingsFlow retains the right to moderate content and accounts within Rings in line with Section 8.

11. Creators, memberships and paid content

RingsFlow is gradually introducing creator features that will allow authors to offer paid content, subscriptions or exclusive memberships (Inner Ring). Once these features are launched we will add concrete rules to this section, including:

• who is a creator and what obligations they have towards subscribers;
• what RingsFlow sells (technical services, payments) and what the creator sells;
• commissions and fees charged by RingsFlow for paid transactions;
• rules on subscriptions, one-off purchases, refunds and payouts;
• terms for ending membership and access to purchased content.

12. Live streaming, calls and recordings

Once features such as live streaming (Live Flow), calls (Ring Rooms) and recordings (Flow Recording) are made available, the following will apply:

• by participating in a live stream or call you agree that the stream may be recorded;
• you will be informed in advance about recording;
• the author of the stream decides on the publication and visibility of the recording;
• guests are subject to the same conduct rules as other users.

13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and, to the extent permitted by law, without any warranties. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that the service will be error-free.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RingsFlow is not liable for:

• content created by users and the conduct of users;
• damage caused by service interruptions, technical failures or loss of data that could not reasonably be foreseen;
• indirect, incidental or consequential damages, unless the law provides otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded by law (for example liability for intentional harm, gross negligence or personal injury).

14. Account and service termination

You may close your account at any time in the service settings. We may suspend or close an account if you breach these Terms, the law or if required by regulations. On account closure you may request an export of your data under the Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will inform you in advance of material changes (for example by email or in-service notice) and indicate the effective date at the top of these Terms. If you do not agree with the new terms, stop using the service; continued use after the changes take effect means you accept the new terms. Material changes will apply no earlier than a reasonable period after notice.

16. Governing law, disputes and complaints

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to mandatory rules that apply to you based on your habitual residence (in particular EU consumer protection law). Disputes with consumers resident in the EU may also be resolved out of court; the European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Complaints and enquiries may be sent to hello@ringsflow.com.

Questions about these Terms may be sent to hello@ringsflow.com or by post to the operator's address shown at the beginning of this document.
