Terms of Use

Last updated 9 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and AIKYATO LLP, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India (“AIKYATO”, “we”) for the AIKYATO apps and the web app. By creating an account or using AIKYATO you accept them. If you do not agree, do not use AIKYATO.

1. Who can use AIKYATO

Create your own network or be admitted to one, 18 or over.

AIKYATO is not a public social network. You can only see and post inside a network you have been admitted to, either by creating it yourself or by joining with an invite code or link and being approved by that network’s owner or an admin. You must be at least 18 years old to hold an account, and you confirm this when you sign up.

2. Your account

A one-time code to your email or mobile, one account per person, keep them secure.

• Sign-in is by a one-time code sent to your email or, by text, to your mobile. There is no password. Keep access to that inbox and phone secure: anyone who can read them can sign in as you.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of your profile, including your name, birthday and anniversary.
• One account per person. Do not share an account, impersonate anyone, or use another person’s email or mobile number.
• Tell us at once if you think your account has been used without your permission.

3. AIKYATO is free

Every feature, no purchases. If that ever changes we say so in advance.

AIKYATO is free to use, with every feature, for every network and every member. There are no purchases in the app. If we ever introduce paid features we will say so clearly in advance, and nothing you use today will be taken away without notice.

4. Networks, owners and admins

Whoever creates a network owns it, and can moderate, remove members, or delete the whole network.

• Whoever creates a network owns it. Owners and admins can approve or remove members, moderate posts, change settings, switch Explore channels on or off, pause the network’s Watercooler chat room and delete messages in it. Only the owner can transfer ownership or delete the network.
• An owner can delete a network. That permanently removes its posts, events, wishes and notifications for every member of it, not only for the owner.
• Owners and admins agree to moderate their network in line with these terms and to act on reports promptly.

5. What you post

You keep ownership. We get a licence to show it to your network, which ends when you delete it.

You keep ownership of what you write and upload. By posting, you grant AIKYATO a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy and display that content to other members of the same network, for the purpose of operating the app. The licence ends the moment the content or your account is deleted.

You confirm that you have the right to post what you post, including photos of other people.

6. Rules of conduct

No abuse, harassment, spam or other people's private information. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.

Do not post or do anything that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, deceptive or spam; that discloses another person’s private information without their consent; that infringes anyone’s rights; that contains malware or attempts to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service; or that you do not have the right to share. Do not use AIKYATO to sell regulated goods, run schemes, or collect other members’ data.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or for abusive members. Objectionable content includes anything in the paragraph above, and anything that threatens, demeans or targets a person or a group. Using AIKYATO means agreeing to that standard.

Networks may enable moderation, in which case an admin approves posts before other members see them. Every post and every comment can be reported from its ⋯ menu. In chat, you can report a message, a member, a group or the room from inside the chat. You can block any member from their profile or from a chat: blocking hides everything they post and send from you straight away, and tells us. Your network’s owner and admins review reports within 24 hours; AIKYATO reviews blocks, and any report about an owner or left unhandled. Content we find objectionable is removed, and the member who posted it is suspended or removed.

Our Community Guidelines explain these rules in plain words, with examples.

7. Celebration posts

Made automatically from your profile dates. Switch them off in Privacy.

The app automatically creates birthday and anniversary posts from the dates on your profile. You control this in Privacy: switch off “Share birthday” or “Share anniversary”. Changes apply from that point forward and do not remove posts already published.

8. Explore: deals, giveaways, sessions, classifieds

Exchanges between members are between those members. AIKYATO does not inspect, pay or deliver.

Deals are offers from a shop or business, added by AIKYATO; the business sets the terms of each offer and is responsible for honouring it. Giveaways, sessions, lost & found and classifieds are posted by members. Every exchange in Explore is a private matter between the members involved: AIKYATO does not inspect goods, handle payment, deliver, verify sessions or guarantee anything about them. Meet in a public place, and do not send money before you have what you are paying for. A WhatsApp contact link opens WhatsApp; from there its terms apply.

9. Steps and health data

Used for your progress and network leaderboards, as the Privacy Policy describes. Not medical advice.

Where you connect Apple Health or Health Connect, that data is used to show your progress and to rank members on the leaderboard, on Challenge boards and the Steps Journey within your network, as described in the Privacy Policy. Your steps and distance also appear in a daily Steps post in your network’s feed. Leaderboards are visible to other members of that network unless you switch that off in Privacy. Nothing in the app is medical or fitness advice; take part at your own judgement and stop if you feel unwell. Steps Journey gifts are sent free by AIKYATO LLP, through a courier, to addresses in India, while stocks last; we may change or stop them at any time. Apple and Google are not involved in them.

10. Deleting your data

You › Your Data › Delete My Account. Permanent, cannot be undone.

You can delete your account at any time from You › Your Data › Delete My Account, or by following aikyato.com/delete-account.html. Deletion permanently removes your profile, memberships, posts you authored, comments, wishes, reactions, activity records and sign-in credentials, and cannot be undone.

11. Our content and your licence to the app

The name, logo and software are ours. You get a personal licence to use the app.

The AIKYATO name, logo, design and software belong to AIKYATO LLP. We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for its intended purpose. Do not copy, modify, distribute, sell or rent any part of it, or attempt to extract its source code.

12. App stores

Apple and Google distribute the app; their terms apply to the download.

The iPhone app is distributed through the Apple App Store under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, and the Android app through Google Play under its terms. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms and have no obligation to provide support or maintenance for AIKYATO. Where these terms are less restrictive than the store’s, the store’s terms apply to that app.

13. Availability and changes to the service

We can change or pause the service, and will give notice where we can.

AIKYATO is provided as it is and as available. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and may change, suspend or discontinue features. We will give reasonable notice of anything that removes something you rely on.

14. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

Provided as is. Our liability is limited to what the law allows.

To the fullest extent the law allows, AIKYATO is provided without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, loss of data, or loss arising from content posted by other members or from exchanges made in Explore. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

15. Indemnity

You cover us for claims arising from what you post or how you use the app.

You agree to indemnify AIKYATO LLP against claims, losses and costs arising from content you post or from your breach of these terms.

16. Ending your access

An admin can remove you from a network; we can suspend an account that breaks these terms. Appeal within 30 days.

A network owner or admin can remove you from their network. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms or is used to harm other members. If you think a suspension is wrong, email support@aikyato.com within 30 days and we will review it.

17. Governing law

Indian law, courts of Udaipur, Rajasthan.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Udaipur, Rajasthan.

18. General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement. Changes that affect your rights are announced in the app or by email first.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about AIKYATO. We may update these terms; where a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
