Your use of MINNIT, MINNIT.CHAT, MINNIT.ORG, and all other services, features, domains, and pages owned and operated by Minnit LTD (collectively referred to as "MINNIT") included within, constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.

Electronic Communications

Visiting MINNIT.CHAT or sending emails to MINNIT constitutes electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Your Account

If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that MINNIT is not responsible for third party access to your account that results from theft or misappropriation of your account. MINNIT and its associates reserve the right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content in our sole discretion.

Your Organization

MINNIT acts as the data processor for your organization, with you being the data controller. A copy of our data processing agreement can be found here.

Accessing Other Accounts

MINNIT does not allow any person to access an account they did not register themselves. You agree you will not attempt to access any account, with or without permission from the owner, if you are not the person who registered it. Any knowledge of an account being accessed by somebody else may result in the offending person getting their account(s) amended or removed from the service, and the targeted account locked, amended, or removed, at the sole discretion of MINNIT.

Children and Teenagers

MINNIT does not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personal information from persons under the age of thirteen. If you are under 18, you may use MINNIT.CHAT only with permission of a parent or guardian.

As MINNIT is a site for users of varying age levels, any person(s) who is, or has been, a registered sex offender, is not welcome on the service. Any knowledge of a current or prior sex offender being on the service may result in the offending person(s) having their account(s) amended or removed from the site.

Any user, regardless of age, who makes attempts to extract personal information from user(s) under the age of 18, including, but not limited to, phone numbers, addresses, real names, or photographs, may have their account(s) amended or removed, and their ability to access and use MINNIT's services immediately and indefinitely revoked. Such decisions are at the sole discretion of MINNIT, and are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Any chatrooms that are targeted, or owned by, users between the ages of 13-18, must properly label their chat as such via the "General" section of the Chat Settings. This will disallow links or uploads in Direct Messages.

Any chatrooms that knowingly allow users under the age of 13 to use the service will be removed from our service. Users under the age of 13 must be immediately banned from your chat, and their username reported to MINNIT so their information can be removed from our systems.

Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries in relation to payment or billing, and handles returns.

Refunds are not guaranteed and are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Premium and Paid Features

MINNIT offers a variety of premium features, paid upgrades, virtual currency, and subscription services. These features, herein referred to as "PREMIUM FEATURES", are only to be purchased by MINNIT directly. You agree not to purchase PREMIUM FEATURES from other users for real-world currency.

If MINNIT becomes aware of a person violating the Terms of Service, the user risks having their account(s) amended or de-activated, and the user will not receive a refund for any PREMIUM FEATURES they own.

MINNIT is the sole owner of any virtual currency or other PREMIUM FEATURES used on the site, regardless of any other terminology used within the service. As such, MINNIT retains all intellectual property rights affiliated with ownership. You acknowledge that at no time do you own, nor have any right to, the intellectual property affiliated with any PREMIUM FEATURES.

MINNIT holds all rights to update, add, or remove PREMIUM FEATURES from the service. As MINNIT is an ever-changing service, PREMIUM FEATURES may be amended, updated, removed, or added, at any point, without any prior warning.

MINNIT does not allow users to buy or sell any goods, currencies, chatrooms, accounts, or services, with any other persons, in exchange for another currency off of the service, both real or virtual. Knowledge of this taking place may result in the offending persons having their accounts amended or removed without any prior notice or warning.

MINNIT does not allow any gambling or betting to take place, either on the service, or using MINNIT's currencies, services, accounts, or chatrooms. Any knowledge of gambling or betting, either on or off the service, in relation to MINNIT or its currencies, may result in the offending person(s) having their accounts amended or removed without any prior notice or warning.

MINNIT may offer a single-use free trial for PREMIUM FEATURES for some users. Each trial can only be used once per person, and/or once per chatroom. Any user(s) found to be abusing the trial system, intentionally or unintentionally, in order to obtain access to PREMIUM FEATURES beyond the pre-agreed upon trial period, may have their account(s) and/or chatroom(s) amended or removed, without any prior warnings or notices.

Re-Selling

MINNIT does not allow any person to buy, sell, give, or exchange their user accounts or any other portion of the service with other persons. If knowledge of such a transaction occurs, MINNIT has the right to amend or remove accounts or services which have been bought, sold, or exchanged, without any prior notice or warning to either party.

At no point are you to share your password with any other user(s). Doing so will result in your account(s) being amended or removed. You are not to share, lend, or exchange user account(s) with any other person(s) at any time.

Exploits, Bugs, Glitches, or Errors

MINNIT systems, including, but not limited to, backend server code, applications, downloadable content, security software, and third-party services used to secure data, are always subject to amendments, upgrades, bug fixes, and/or overhauls. MINNIT will take all reasonable efforts to ensure the systems are secured, and will work to fix known bugs that may result in user data being put at risk. In the event that you discover any bugs, errors, glitches, or exploits (collectively "exploits"), whether on your own or from another user, you are to immediately report your findings directly to MINNIT. You are also forbidden from further discussing, demonstrating, or repeating the same exploit, unless you receive written confirmation from MINNIT directly that you may do so. You are also forbidden from sharing or recording any information that may have been accessed as a result of the exploit.

Circumventing Limitations or Blocks

MINNIT may offer a variety of services with specific limitations, including, but not limited to, number of users online, number of chatrooms you may create, or monthly file upload limits. Circumventing these limitations by making multiple accounts or chatrooms will result in some, or all, of your account(s) and/or chatroom(s) to be suspended or removed from the service.

If your account or IP Address is blocked, you may not make a new account without first obtaining express written permission from MINNIT. Any attempts to evade any blocks or suspensions will result in some, or all, of your account(s) and/or chatroom(s) to be suspended or removed from the service.

Unwanted Content

MINNIT is designed for real persons to engage in conversations with one another. Any unwanted submissions, including, but not limited to, advertising content located off of MINNIT, using automated scripts to message one or more persons, or other means of sending repeated spam, advertisements, links, or other unwanted content, as deemed solely by MINNIT or its affiliates on a case-by-case basis, may result in the offending person(s) accounts being amended or removed from the service.

MINNIT does not allow user(s) to promote, plan, glorify, or otherwise discuss methods of harming oneself or any other person(s), either on or off the service. Any discussion of this may risk having your information turned over to the appropriate authorities, and/or your account(s) amended or removed from the service, without any warning or notice to you, as deemed appropriate by MINNIT.

MINNIT does not allow user(s) to promote, plan, glorify, arrange, offer, encourage, or otherwise discuss methods of buying, selling, or exchanging sexual offers. Any of the aforementioned will result in your rights to the service permanently revoked, without any prior notice, and the relevant authorities notified.

MINNIT does not allow user accounts, chatrooms, profiles, or other content on the service, designed to antagonize, attack, belittle, or otherwise cause upset to other user(s) within the service. Users who have issues with one another are expected to handle it in a civil matter. Any user(s) found creating hateful content may have their account(s) amended or removed from the service, at the sole discretion of MINNIT.

MINNIT does not allow user(s) to harass, stalk, intimidate, antagonize, bully, or target other user(s) using the service. If a user requests you cease contact with them, and you continue to make attempts to contact them, including, but not limited to, creating additional account(s), or by impersonating other user(s) or individuals on or off the service, your account(s) may be amended or removed, and your access to MINNIT and its services may be revoked immediately and indefinitely, with no prior warning or notice. Such decisions are at the sole discretion of MINNIT, and are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Amendments of Accounts and Chatrooms

You are expected to maintain your user account and chatroom(s) frequently. Inactive user accounts which have not been in use for ninety (90) days may be amended or removed at any time, with no prior notice or warning.

Inactive, inappropriate, or mismanaged chatrooms may be amended, removed, or ownership revoked and transferred, at any time, and at the sole discretion of MINNIT, with no prior notice or warning to you.

Your username on MINNIT is unique to your account. Your username may not contain shocking language, slander, or be intended to offend or degrade any person(s). You may not make a username to impersonate or mislead another person on or off MINNIT. You may not make a username that infringes on a copyright. Usernames may be altered, amended, or removed at the sole discretion of MINNIT, with or without prior notice or warning.
