By creating an account, accessing, or using Zelquyn, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use Zelquyn.

3. Your profile and content

4. Licence you give Zelquyn

You keep ownership of your content.

However, by uploading, posting, sending, or sharing content on Zelquyn, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, display, process, transmit, adapt, and use that content as needed to operate, improve, protect, and provide Zelquyn.

This licence ends when your content is deleted from our systems, except where retention is needed for legal, safety, backup, fraud prevention, dispute, or enforcement reasons.

5.1 Child safety and CSAE

Zelquyn is strictly for adults aged 18 and older. We have zero tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

You must not use Zelquyn to groom, solicit, or sexualize minors; to share CSAM; to sexually exploit minors; to attempt to contact minors for sexual purposes; or to misrepresent your age to access the platform.

Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, permanent bans, and reporting to relevant authorities where required by law.

If we obtain actual knowledge of CSAE or CSAM, we may take these actions, preserve information where permitted by law, and cooperate with law enforcement as appropriate. For child safety concerns, contact support@zelquyn.com (include "Child Safety" in the subject). See our Trust & Safety and Support pages.

We may update or provide additional community guidelines, safety rules, or feature-specific rules. Those rules form part of these Terms.

6. Dating, social discovery, and user interactions

Zelquyn helps users discover and connect with other people, but we do not guarantee:

  • Matches
  • Dates
  • Friendships
  • Responses
  • Compatibility
  • User behaviour
  • User identity
  • Offline safety
  • Relationship outcomes

You are responsible for your interactions with other users, online and offline.

Use caution when communicating with or meeting people. Do not send money, financial information, identity documents, private images, or sensitive personal information to someone you do not trust.

We may provide verification badges, compatibility information, connection memory highlights, Pulse matching, prompts, safety tools, or recommendation features, but these are not guarantees of a user's identity, intentions, safety, or behaviour.

7. Chats, lobbies, and messages

Zelquyn may allow private chats, group lobbies, public or semi-public rooms, voice messages, in-chat games, message reactions, Sparks, replies, edits, deletions, reports, read receipts, connection memory insights, and other communication tools.

You agree that:

  • Messages you send may be seen by the intended recipient or lobby participants
  • Lobby content may be visible to other users depending on the room and feature design
  • Deleted messages may be replaced by a placeholder such as "This message was deleted"
  • We may retain limited records or metadata where needed for safety, legal, fraud prevention, moderation, or enforcement reasons
  • We may review reported content or content flagged by safety systems
  • We may restrict or remove content that violates these Terms

Do not use chats, lobbies, voice messages, or in-chat games to harass, pressure, exploit, scam, spam, or harm other users.

8. Pulse (live blind chat)

Pulse is a timed blind-chat feature for adults (18+). During a session you may see limited information (such as first name and age) until both people choose to match and reveal photos. Pulse availability, queue depth, and match timing are not guaranteed.

You agree that while using Pulse you will not:

  • Harass, threaten, pressure, or exploit another participant
  • Share contact details, payment requests, or links intended to take conversation off Zelquyn before you are comfortable
  • Attempt to bypass photo-reveal rules, blocks, or safety tools
  • Use Pulse if you are under 18 or misrepresent your age
  • Record, screenshot, or redistribute another user's content without consent where applicable law requires consent

You may report, block, or leave a session. Leaving or enforcement action may end the session for both participants where the product is designed to do so.

Pulse sessions may be reviewed for safety where reported or flagged. The same community standards and enforcement rules apply as elsewhere on Zelquyn.

9. Safety, moderation, and enforcement

We may use automated systems, human review, user reports, technical signals, and other tools to detect, prevent, investigate, or respond to violations.

We may take action including:

  • Warning you
  • Removing content
  • Blurring or restricting media
  • Limiting features
  • Removing lobbies or messages
  • Restricting discovery visibility
  • Suspending or banning your account
  • Blocking payments or purchases
  • Reporting serious safety or legal issues where appropriate
  • Preserving information where needed for legal, safety, or enforcement purposes

Premium access, Sparks, purchases, or subscription status do not prevent enforcement action.

We are not required to provide advance notice before taking action where we believe it is necessary to protect users, Zelquyn, or others.

10. Premium, subscriptions, Sparks, and paid features

Zelquyn may offer paid features, including Premium membership, Sparks, add-ons, boosts, or other paid products.

Paid features may include benefits such as enhanced discovery, additional visibility, more Sparks, undo features, seeing likes, lobbies features, read receipts, or other premium tools.

Specific features, prices, billing periods, and benefits may change over time. We will show key pricing and product information before purchase where required.

10.1 Premium subscriptions

If you buy a recurring subscription, you authorize our payment provider to charge you at the stated interval unless you cancel before renewal.

Subscription renewals, cancellation rules, and billing details depend on where you purchased (for example Stripe on the web, or Apple App Store / Google Play in the native apps, where available). Cancel through the same channel you used to subscribe.

10.2 One-time purchases and Sparks

Sparks or Spark packs may be one-time purchases. Sparks are digital items used within Zelquyn to send higher-intent signals or access related features.

Unless required by law or stated otherwise:

  • Sparks have no cash value
  • Sparks cannot be transferred outside Zelquyn
  • Sparks are not refundable once purchased or used
  • Sparks may expire, be limited, or be removed if your account is terminated for violations
  • We may change how Sparks work, but we will try to avoid unfairly removing purchased unused value without reason

10.3 Refunds

Payments are generally handled by third-party providers such as Stripe or, where available, an app store. App store purchases follow that store's refund rules.

Refund eligibility depends on applicable law, payment provider rules, and the circumstances of the purchase. Contact support@zelquyn.com if you need help.

We do not guarantee refunds for unused Premium time, used Sparks, account removals caused by violations, or dissatisfaction with matches or responses, unless required by law.

11. Payments and third-party providers

Payments may be processed by third-party providers such as Stripe. We do not store full card numbers or full payment credentials on our servers.

By making a purchase, you agree to the applicable payment provider's terms and privacy practices.

You are responsible for providing accurate billing information and ensuring your payment method is valid.

12. Privacy

Your privacy matters. Our collection and use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

By using Zelquyn, you also agree to our Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy: https://www.zelquyn.com/privacy

13. Intellectual property

Zelquyn, including our name, logo, branding, design, software, features, text, graphics, icons, and platform content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from Zelquyn unless we give written permission or the law allows it.

You may not use Zelquyn's name, logo, branding, or design assets in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without our permission.

14. Licence to use Zelquyn

Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use Zelquyn for your own lawful personal use.

You may not:

  • Use Zelquyn commercially without permission
  • Resell or sublicense access
  • Copy or extract large amounts of data
  • Build competing products using Zelquyn data
  • Attempt to discover source code or bypass security
  • Use Zelquyn in a way that damages or overloads our systems

15. App availability and changes

We may change, suspend, limit, or discontinue parts of Zelquyn at any time. This includes features, availability, pricing, recommendations, lobbies, Sparks, Premium benefits, or user interface elements.

We may also perform maintenance, updates, or security changes that affect access.

We do not guarantee that Zelquyn will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or compatible with every device, browser, operating system, or app wrapper.

16. Third-party links and services

Zelquyn may link to or integrate with third-party services, including payment providers, authentication providers, hosting services, analytics tools, notification services, Spotify (optional), or external websites.

We are not responsible for third-party services, content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

16.1 Spotify (optional)

If you choose to connect Spotify, you authorize us to access limited taste data (such as top artists or genres) to display on your profile. You can disconnect Spotify in settings. Spotify's own terms and privacy policy apply to your use of Spotify.

17. Disclaimers

Zelquyn is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, and security.

We do not guarantee that:

  • You will receive matches, likes, messages, dates, friendships, relationships, or specific outcomes
  • User profiles or statements are accurate
  • Verification, compatibility, connection memory, or Pulse matching guarantee safety or identity
  • Zelquyn will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always secure
  • Content will always be available or preserved

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.

18. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zelquyn and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, emotional distress, personal injury, or damages related to user conduct.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to Zelquyn or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

  • The amount you paid to Zelquyn in the 3 months before the claim, or
  • USD $50

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, such as liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or other rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

19. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Zelquyn and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from:

  • Your use of Zelquyn
  • Your content
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of another person's rights
  • Your unlawful conduct or misuse of the platform

This obligation applies to the extent permitted by law.

20. Account suspension and termination

You may stop using Zelquyn at any time. You may also delete your account where account deletion is available.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account if we believe:

  • You violated these Terms
  • You created risk or possible legal exposure
  • You misused Zelquyn
  • Your conduct may harm users, Zelquyn, or others
  • We are required or permitted to do so by law

After termination or deletion:

  • You may lose access to your account, matches, messages, Sparks, Premium features, and content
  • We may retain certain information as described in our Privacy Policy
  • We may refuse future account creation where needed for safety or enforcement

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, including ownership, licence, safety, payment, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and dispute provisions.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are intended to apply globally, subject to mandatory consumer protection laws in your country.

Unless another law is required to apply, these Terms and any dispute relating to Zelquyn will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Zelquyn is operated, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Before bringing a formal claim, you agree to first contact us at support@zelquyn.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

If you need a specific governing law, venue, arbitration, or consumer-rights clause for your company jurisdiction, add it here after legal review.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may notify you by updating the "Last updated" date, showing an in-app notice, sending an email, or using another appropriate method.

Your continued use of Zelquyn after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using Zelquyn.
