You must comply with local laws; we may restrict features or access where required.

Pikas is a social voting and discussion platform for entertainment and community.

No wagering / gambling / securities – Pikas does not offer staking, pools, bets, or payouts tied to real-world events. Points are not currency and do not represent a right to money, goods, or services.

No professional advice is provided (financial, legal, medical, etc.).

Pikas is public by design. Your topics, comments, nicknames, and certain profile elements may be public.

Votes are shown in aggregate; unless you choose to disclose, we do not publicly link your individual vote to your identity. We maintain internal logs for safety, integrity, and legal compliance.

Some content/features (e.g., full comments) may unlock after you vote.

Points are licensed features, not property; non-transferable; non-redeemable; expire after two (2) years.

Purchases (e.g., point packs) via Apple App Store, Google Play, or other channels are final except as required by platform policy or law.

Promotional/gift Points may have separate expiries/restrictions.

We may adjust balances to correct errors or prevent abuse/fraud.

You agree not to: violate laws; infringe IP, privacy, or publicity rights; post illegal, exploitative, violent, hateful, or sexually explicit material (especially involving minors); doxx, harass, or bully; incite violence or self-harm; manipulate engagement (spam, bots, vote brigading, fake accounts); sell/transfer accounts or Points; reverse engineer, scrape, or circumvent technical measures; misuse automated access; impersonate or misrepresent affiliation.

Moderation uses AI + human review and may err.

We may remove content, limit features, suspend/terminate accounts, adjust Points, or contact authorities where required.

We may make public content available via APIs/embeds/licensing under contractual controls (e.g., honor deletions, no sensitive-category profiling or surveillance, rate limits, and audit).

No scraping/circumvention – You may not scrape, spider, crawl, harvest, or bypass our technical measures; use only permitted APIs and do not build shadow archives.

The Service integrates third-party services (e.g., Google Cloud/Firebase and similar services). Your use of those is subject to their terms and privacy policies.

If obtained via Apple App Store / Google Play, their terms (including billing/refunds) may apply.

Features may change or be discontinued at any time. Beta/experimental features may be unstable. We are not liable for downtime or data loss except as required by law.

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee accuracy of User Content, votes, or outcomes.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pikas and its affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or revenue. Our aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the greater of NT$3,000 or the amount you paid us in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pikas and affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or law.

We may suspend or terminate access at any time for any reason (including suspected violations or risks). Sections that by nature survive (licenses, disclaimers, limitations, indemnities) survive termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Unless the parties agree in writing to arbitrate in Taipei under Taiwan's Arbitration Law, the Taipei District Court shall be the court of first instance. To the extent permitted by law, you agree not to participate in class or representative proceedings against Pikas.

We may assign these Terms. These Terms (and referenced policies) are the entire agreement between you and Pikas. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. We are not liable for delays/failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

We may provide notices by in-app message, email, or posting on our site. You consent to electronic communications.

We may revise these Terms. Material changes will be notified in-app, on our site, or via email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
