Terms of Service
The agreement between you and Qisso. Please read it; the important parts are in plain words.
The short version
- You must be 18 or over, and you can have one account.
- Be yourself: no fake profiles, no pretending to be someone else.
- Be kind: no harassment, hate, sexual content, scams or asking for money.
- Keep contact details out of your story and notes. Share them in chat when you're ready.
- We review stories and act on reports, and we can suspend accounts that break these rules.
- Meeting someone is your decision. We don't run background checks, so take the precautions in our safety tips.
1This agreement
These Terms are an agreement between you and Saurabh Shinde, based in Pune, Maharashtra, India, who runs Qisso ("we", "us"). They cover the Qisso app and this website. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data and is part of these Terms. By creating an account, you accept both.
2Who can use Qisso
You can use Qisso only if:
- you are at least 18 years old;
- you can legally enter into a contract in India;
- you have not been removed from Qisso before, unless we have agreed in writing that you may return;
- you have not been convicted of a sexual offence or a violent crime, and are not required to register as a sex offender anywhere.
3Your account
- One person, one account. Don't create more than one, and don't let anyone else use yours.
- Be truthful. Your date of birth, gender and everything in your story must be true and about you.
- Keep your sign-in safe. Sign-in codes are sent to your email; never share them. Qisso will never ask you for a code. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
- Tell us straight away at support@qisso.in if you think someone else has got into your account.
4How Qisso works
- Stories, not photos. You write a story in chapters. It goes live after a moderator approves it, and edits are reviewed the same way.
- Discover. You're shown a limited number of new stories each day, chosen for what you're both looking for.
- Connection notes. To connect, you write a personal note about the other person's story (at least 60 characters). Each person receives only a few new requests a day; extra requests wait in a queue, and a request expires if it isn't answered within 7 days.
- Chat. When someone accepts your note, you can chat. To avoid pressure, you can send only a few messages in a row until the other person replies.
- Limits. We set daily limits on stories shown, requests sent and similar actions to keep Qisso calm and fair. We may change these limits.
We don't promise you'll meet anyone, or that anyone will accept your request.
5Community rules
When you use Qisso, you must not:
- harass, threaten, stalk, bully, insult or intimidate anyone;
- post or send sexual or sexually explicit content, or ask anyone for it;
- post hate speech, or attack anyone for their religion, caste, community, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or where they're from;
- pretend to be someone else, use someone else's details, or create a fake profile;
- ask anyone for money, gifts, bank details, OTPs or passwords, or promote investments, crypto, loans or any scheme;
- use Qisso for any business: selling, advertising, recruiting, promoting other apps or services, or escort or sex work;
- put phone numbers, emails, links or social media handles in your story or connection notes;
- send the same or nearly the same note to many people;
- share anyone's personal information, or screenshots of their story or chats, without their permission;
- involve, sexualise or endanger anyone under 18 in any way;
- post anything illegal, or that infringes someone else's rights;
- use bots, scripts or scraping, try to get around our limits, or interfere with how Qisso works;
- try to access other people's accounts, or parts of Qisso you're not allowed into.
These rules also cover the content that the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 require platforms to prohibit.
6Your content
Your story, notes and messages belong to you. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display and deliver them inside Qisso, only to run the service: for example, showing your story to matching members or delivering your note. We don't use your content for advertising, and we won't publish it outside Qisso without asking you.
You confirm that what you post is your own and doesn't break these Terms or anyone's rights. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except as described in the Privacy Policy (for example, content held for an open safety report).
7Moderation and enforcement
- Every story and story edit is reviewed by a person before it goes live. We may reject anything that breaks these Terms.
- Automatic checks look for abusive words, contact details and common scam signs, as described in the Privacy Policy.
- You can report anyone from their story, a request or a chat, and block anyone at any time.
- We review reports and may remove content, warn you, limit your account, suspend it or remove it permanently. For serious harm, such as threats, abuse involving minors or fraud, we may act immediately and may report it to the police.
- We usually tell you when we take action against your account. If you think we got it wrong, write to our Grievance Officer (below) and we'll look at it again.
8Safety and meeting people
You're responsible for how you interact with other members, online and in person. We don't verify identities beyond your email, and we don't run criminal background checks. Everyone confirms they're 18 or over and gives a date of birth, but we don't check ID documents, so ages are as people state them. Badges show only what we did check: "Email verified" means the person proved they use that email, and "Profile reviewed" means our team read their story before it went live.
Please read our safety tips before you meet anyone. If you're in danger, call 112.
9Waitlist and payments
- Free for now. Qisso is free to use today.
- Waitlist. To keep the community balanced, men may be placed on a waitlist when many more men than women are joining, and are let in, in the order they joined, as more women join.
- Paid features later. We may introduce paid features in future. We'll tell you in the app before any charge applies to you, and nothing will be charged without you choosing to buy it. Reporting, blocking, pausing and deleting your account stay free.
- Google Play billing. Purchases will be made through Google Play and are also subject to Google Play's terms. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play; cancelling stops the next renewal.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled through Google Play under its refund policy. Apart from that, payments are non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund. Deleting your account doesn't cancel a Google Play subscription; cancel it in Google Play first.
10Leaving Qisso
You can delete your account at any time in the app (My Story → Delete account); see how deletion works. We may suspend or end your account if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop running Qisso, in which case we'll give you reasonable notice where we can.
11Disclaimers and liability
- Qisso is provided "as is". We work to keep it running and safe, but we can't promise it will always be available, error-free or free of harmful behaviour by other people.
- We're not responsible for what other members say or do, on Qisso or when you meet them.
- As far as the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or ₹1,000 if you paid nothing.
- Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.
- If you break these Terms and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable losses from that claim.
12Law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Please contact us first so we can try to sort out any problem. If we can't, the courts in Pune, Maharashtra will have jurisdiction. Nothing here removes your rights as a consumer under Indian law.
13Changes
We may update these Terms as Qisso grows. We'll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app before an important change takes effect. If you keep using Qisso after that, you accept the new Terms; if you don't agree, you can delete your account.
