Terms of Service

By accessing or using MentSocial ("the App," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

MentSocial is a social networking platform that allows users to discover people, make connections, share posts and stories, and engage with a community. Features include a social feed, profile browsing, direct messaging, virtual gifts, events, and optional premium subscriptions.

You must be at least 13 years old to use MentSocial.

If you are 13 to 17, you may use MentSocial only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. If you are under 13, you may not create an account or use the App. By creating an account you represent that you meet these age requirements.

Accounts held by members aged 13 to 17 are teen accounts and carry the additional protections described below and in our Community Guidelines.

Teen accounts are set up with stricter protections by default:

• Stricter privacy defaults: posts are shared only with the people a member is connected with, and profile, post and story visibility begin restricted. They can be reviewed in Settings.
• No payments: teen accounts cannot buy subscriptions, tokens, spins, gifts, shop items, storefront rent or paid videos, and cannot sell items or receive payouts or creator earnings.
• No live broadcasting.
• No adult discovery: the People (swipe) area is for adults only, and teen accounts are never shown there.

Teen accounts can still post, follow, message and take part in the community. Teen accounts are not listed for search engine indexing.

We may restrict or change features available to teen accounts, and we may ask a member to confirm their age. A parent or guardian who believes a child under 13 has created an account, or who wants a teen account closed, can contact us at support@mentsocial.com.

• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account.
• You agree to provide accurate and truthful information in your profile.
• You may not impersonate another person or create misleading profiles.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree not to:

• Post or share illegal, harmful, harassing, defamatory, or obscene content.
• Harass, stalk, or threaten other users.
• Use the App for spam, advertising, or commercial solicitation without permission.
• Attempt to access other users' accounts or private data.
• Use automated bots or scrapers on the platform.
• Violate any applicable local, national, or international law.

You retain ownership of content you post. By posting, you grant MentSocial a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and distribute your content within the App. You are solely responsible for the content you share. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms.

Profiles and posts you publish on MentSocial are public by default. Your name, username, photos, bio, location, and other profile details, along with your posts and stories, may be visible to anyone — including people who are not logged in to the App.

MentSocial allows search engines such as Google to index public profiles and posts so they can appear in search results. This means your name, photos, bio, location, and post content may be discoverable through search engines outside of MentSocial.

You can limit this exposure by adjusting your privacy settings in the App, removing specific content, or deleting your account. Please note that search engines may retain cached copies of previously indexed content, and removal from MentSocial does not guarantee immediate removal from search engine results.

Buying, selling and payouts are available to members aged 18 and over only, and teen accounts cannot use these features. MentSocial offers optional paid features including Premium subscriptions and Boosts. All payments are processed securely via Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. By purchasing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms, harmful behavior toward other users, or any other reason at our discretion. You may also delete your account at any time from the Settings page.

MentSocial is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any connections or relationships formed will be safe or successful. Use the App at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MentSocial shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of data or personal injury resulting from interactions with other users.

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We will notify users of significant changes via the App.

If you have questions about these Terms, please contact us at support@mentsocial.com.
