Terms and Conditions
Last updated: April 29, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Huni ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the Platform. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of ageto create an account and use Huni. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's consent to use the Platform. By registering, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are legally permitted to use the service in your jurisdiction. Huni reserves the right to terminate accounts that are found to violate this age requirement.
3. Account Registration and Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or security breach.
- Each person may only maintain one account
- You must provide accurate and complete registration information
- You are responsible for keeping your password secure
- You must not share your account credentials with any third party
- Users can reset their password via the forgot-password flow. Reset links expire after 1 hour and can only be used once
- Admin-issued temporary passwords. If you contact support locked out of your account, a super-admin may issue a temporary password sent to the email on file. When this happens, all your existing sessions are signed out, and you will be required to set a new password the next time you log in (you cannot use the platform until you do). The temporary password is valid only until your first successful login + change-password.
- We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms
4. User Content and Responsibility
You retain ownership of the content you post on Huni ("User Content"). By posting, you grant Huni a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote your content on the Platform.
Users are SOLELY responsible for their content. You are fully responsible for any content you post, including confessions, reviews, aspirations, comments, messages, and any other material. Huni does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for any User Content. The views expressed in User Content are those of the individual authors and do not represent the views of Huni.
5. Content Disclaimer
All content on Huni — including confessions, reviews, aspirations, and group posts — is entirely user-generated. Huni makes NO guarantees about the accuracy, truthfulness, completeness, or reliability of any content posted on the Platform.
It is entirely at the user's discretion whether to believe, trust, or act upon any content found on Huni. The credibility voting feature (Believable / Plausible / Made Up) is a community sentiment tool and does NOT constitute fact-checking, verification, or endorsement by Huni.
Huni expressly disclaims all liability for any reliance placed on content posted by users of the Platform. You acknowledge that you use and rely on any content at your own risk.
6. Review Disclaimer
Product and service reviews posted on Huni Reviews are opinions of individual users and do not represent the views or recommendations of Huni. Huni does not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of any review.
Huni is NOT responsible for any purchase decisions, financial decisions, or any other decisions made based on reviews posted on the Platform. Users are encouraged to conduct their own research before making any decisions based on reviews found on Huni.
7. Pseudonymity Policy
Huni does not display real names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any other directly identifying information on posts or comments. The username you select at sign-up serves as your public pseudonym across the Platform. Your anonymity therefore depends on choosing a username that cannot be connected back to you — we strongly advise against using your real name, email handle, workplace nickname, or any username you already use on other platforms (such as Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, or TikTok). While we have taken extensive technical measures to protect identity (encrypted personal data at rest, no public profile fields beyond the chosen username, no cross-platform tracking, IP addresses kept internal), there is always a small residual risk of re-identification if you choose a recognisable username. You are responsible for the username you pick. You may change your username from the Account settings at any time.
We retain internal records (including IP, email, and account metadata) for safety, fraud prevention, and legal compliance purposes. Pseudonymity is not a shield for illegal activity. We may disclose user information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users. Posting under a pseudonym does not exempt you from these Terms and Conditions — all rules apply equally to every post.
Criminal Activity Disclosure: Any content posted on HuniWhisp that describes, confesses to, threatens, plans, or provides evidence of criminal activity — whether past, ongoing, or intended — may be preserved, documented, and reported to the relevant law enforcement authorities without prior notice to the user. This includes but is not limited to: threats of violence or harm to self or others, child exploitation, terrorism, fraud, drug trafficking, stalking, harassment, and any other criminal offenses under applicable local, state, federal, or international law. By using this Platform, you acknowledge and agree that HuniWhisp may cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations, comply with lawful subpoenas, court orders, and legal processes, and provide any user data including account information, IP addresses, content, and activity logs as evidence when required or when we reasonably believe such disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or assist in a criminal investigation. Anonymity on this Platform does not provide immunity from legal consequences.
8. Groups, Invitations, and Moderation
Group owners are responsible for moderating content within their groups. Groups must not be used to organize harassment, illegal activities, or to circumvent Platform rules.
- Group owners may set entry requirements including screening questions and invite-only access
- Group owners may not use screening features to discriminate against protected classes
- Join requests and Q&A sections within groups are subject to the same content policies as the rest of the Platform
- We reserve the right to remove groups that violate these terms without prior notice
- Group moderators act independently and are not agents or representatives of Huni
9. Messaging, Friends, and Private Mode
Direct Messages. Direct messages (DMs) between users are encrypted. All personal information including emails and display names is encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption. User data is encrypted at rest. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is available as an opt-in mode for individual conversations. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Friends System. You may add other users as friends by their HuniWhisp username. Friend requests are explicit (the recipient must Accept) and friendships are symmetric. Either side may unfriend at any time. Friend lists are private to each side and are not surfaced as a public follower graph.
Private Mode.You can enable Private Mode from Profile » Preferences » Privacy. When enabled, only confirmed friends may start a new direct-message conversation with you or send a new message in an existing conversation. Existing conversation history remains readable on both sides; Private Mode is not retroactive deletion. Strangers can still read your public posts. Default is OFF.
Acceptable Use. You must not use the messaging system to send unsolicited commercial messages, harass other users, distribute harmful content, or use friend requests as a vector for spam or social engineering. We reserve the right to investigate reports of messaging abuse and take appropriate action including account suspension. By using Huni, you consent to the collection and use of data as described in our Privacy Policy.
9b. Public Profile and Visibility Controls
Each registered user has a public profile at huniwhisp.com/u/{your-username}. The profile may display your chosen username (which is also the pseudonym on every post and comment), avatar, member-since date, friend count, and your posts, diaries, aspirations, and autographs. We do not surface your real name, email address, or IP address anywhere on the public profile or anywhere else readers can see.
Visibility Toggles.You control which sections appear on your public profile from Profile » Preferences » Public Profile. Six toggles are available, all default ON: posts, diaries, aspirations, autographs, friend count, member-since date.
Anonymity Carve-Out. Anonymous content is NEVER surfaced on a public profile, regardless of visibility-toggle state. Only items where you explicitly chose to attribute yourself (confessions with is_anonymous = false AND show_username = true; diaries with is_anonymous = false AND is_public = true) appear on the public profile. The visibility toggles only control whether to surface those already-attributed items, not whether to expose previously-anonymous ones.
10. Donations and Payments
Huni provides a donation system that allows users to send tips and contributions to content authors. By using the donation feature, you agree to the following:
- All donations are voluntary and made at your own discretion
- Huni charges a 3% platform fee on each donation to cover payment processing and platform maintenance costs. Payouts to external accounts incur a 1.5% + $0.25 processing fee
- Donations are generally non-refundable once processed, except in cases of verified fraud or technical errors
- Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of the transaction
- Huni reserves the right to withhold or reverse donations that violate these terms
- Authors receiving donations are responsible for any applicable tax obligations
- Huni is not responsible for disputes between donors and recipients
11. Sponsorships and Promotions
Sponsored products and services may receive boosted visibility in review listings and other areas of the Platform. Sponsored content is clearly identified and tied to the advertising system. Sponsorships do not alter the content of user reviews. Users must not accept compensation from third parties to post fake or misleading reviews. Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy of their promotional materials. Violation of sponsorship guidelines may result in account termination.
12. Following and Notifications
The follow system allows you to follow users, groups, and individual hunis. Following a user or group means you will receive notifications about their activity according to your notification preferences. You may unfollow at any time. Huni sends notifications for reactions, comments, new followers, group activity, direct messages, donations, and other relevant events. You can customize your notification preferences in your account settings. Abuse of the follow system (e.g., follow/unfollow spam) may result in restrictions.
13. Content Filtering and Moderation
Huni employs content filtering systems including algospeak detection to identify attempts to circumvent filters. Users can adjust their personal filter levels to control the type of content they see.
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these terms without prior notice. Users can report content they believe violates our guidelines. Reports are reviewed and appropriate action is taken. Repeated violations will result in account suspension or permanent ban. We are not obligated to provide reasons for content removal decisions.
14. Safety Monitoring and Intervention
Huni employs automated safety scanning systems that monitor platform content for patterns indicating potential harm, criminal activity, or distress situations. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Content including messages, comments, and confessions may be scanned by automated systems for safety purposes
- Interactions may be automatically suspended if critical safety patterns are detected
- Flagged content is reviewed by our safety team and may be escalated to appropriate authorities if required by law
- Safety suspensions are temporary and subject to human review
- False positives are handled through our review process and affected content is promptly restored
- Huni reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement when there is a credible threat of harm
- The safety scanning system is designed to protect the community and does not replace human judgment
15. Author Moderation Rights
Authors of confessions have the right to moderate comments on their own posts. This includes:
- Blurring specific parts of comments
- Editing comments with a stated reason (original content is preserved)
- Deleting comments with an optional reason
- Appointing trusted moderators to assist with comment management
- All moderation actions are logged and auditable
- Moderators act independently and are not agents of Huni
- Appointed moderators may receive compensation from authors — such arrangements are between the parties
16. Content Relevance Policy & Strike System
All posts on Huni must be relevant to the category and tags they are posted under. Posting content that has nothing to do with the selected category or tags is a violation of these Terms. Huni enforces a progressive strike system to maintain content quality and community trust:
16a. Romance, Relationship & Dating-Adjacent Content
Huni is an anonymous confession and storytelling platform. The Romance category, the Relationships sub-category, and any romance, dating, hook-up, marriage, breakup, or attraction-related tags exist solely to organise first-person stories and confessions about those topics. Huni is not a dating site, matchmaking service, introduction service, escort service, or relationship-brokerage platform of any kind, and Huni does not facilitate the formation of romantic or sexual relationships between users.
Huni makes no representations or warranties about, and accepts no responsibility or liability for: (a) the truthfulness, accuracy, identity, age, relationship status, intentions, or character of any user posting under the Romance category or any romance-adjacent tag; (b) interactions, meetings, communications, or relationships (online or offline) that arise between users in connection with Romance-category content or DMs initiated as a result of such content; (c) any emotional, reputational, financial, or physical harm resulting from such interactions; or (d) the outcome of any actual or attempted relationship, partnership, or meeting.
Using Huni to solicit dates, hook-ups, sexual encounters, marriage proposals, mail-order spouses, sugar arrangements, escort services, or paid companionship — including via posts, comments, direct messages, or profile content — is a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension regardless of strike count. The same applies to posts whose primary purpose is to identify, locate, recruit, or contact a specific real person (named or otherwise) for romantic or sexual purposes.
If you choose to share contact information, identifying details, or arrange an off-platform meeting with another user, you do so entirely at your own risk. Huni provides anonymity by design; we have no way to verify the identity, age, location, or stated relationship status of any user, and encrypted-DM contents are not accessible to Huni for safety review. Standard online-safety practices apply: do not share personal identifiers, financial information, or your home address with strangers; verify identity through video before any in-person meeting; and meet in public places.
The general Strike System below applies to Romance-category posts the same as any other category — but dating-solicitation, escort/companionship-solicitation, and use of Huni as a dating service are per-se violations that may bypass the strike escalation entirely. Users harmed by other users met through Huni must pursue any legal remedy directly against the other party, not against Huni or its operators.
- Strike 1 — Warning: You will receive a formal warning notification. The post may remain but will be flagged for review. No further action is taken on a first offense.
- Strike 2 — Post Removal: The offending post will be removed by an administrator. You will be notified of the removal and the reason.
- Strike 3 — Temporary Ban (30 days): Your account will be suspended for 30 days. You will not be able to post, comment, or interact with the Platform during this period.
- Strike 4+ — Permanent Ban & IP Restriction: Your account will be permanently banned from Huni. Your IP address will also be restricted to prevent the creation of new accounts to circumvent the ban.
Strikes are cumulative and do not expire. Administrators review all strikes and may adjust the severity based on context. You will be notified each time a strike is issued against your account. The strike system applies equally to anonymous and public posts — anonymity does not protect against content policy violations.
17. Ban System and Appeals
Huni enforces a 3-level ban system:
- Level 1: Restricted from commenting on specific posts or areas
- Level 2: Restricted from commenting and viewing certain content
- Level 3: Full platform suspension
All bans can be appealed through our appeal process. Appeals are reviewed by platform moderators or administrators. Temporary bans (timeouts) expire automatically.
Ban evasion is strictly prohibited. When an account receives a permanent ban, the associated IP address may also be banned to prevent the creation of new accounts. Attempting to circumvent a ban by creating alternate accounts, using proxies, or any other method will result in immediate permanent restriction of all associated accounts and IP addresses without appeal.
18. Huni Stories
Huni Stories allows users to share personal experiences, narratives, and real stories with the community. By using this feature:
- You retain ownership of your stories but grant Huni a non-exclusive license to display, distribute, and promote them on the Platform
- Stories must comply with all content policies and prohibited content rules
- Tags and media attached to stories are subject to moderation
- Stories are published under your chosen username (your pseudonym) — pick a username that cannot be traced back to you
- Interactions (reactions, comments, shares) on stories follow the same rules as other content
19. Huni Bookworms
Huni Bookworms is a dedicated space for honest confessions about books — reviews, hot takes, guilty pleasures, and reading experiences. By using this feature:
- Posts must relate to books, reading, authors, or literary topics — off-topic posts are subject to the strike system (Section 16)
- You retain ownership of your content but grant Huni a non-exclusive license to display and distribute it on the Platform
- All content policies, moderation rules, and prohibited content rules apply equally to Bookworms posts
- Spoiler tags should be used when discussing plot details that may spoil the reading experience for others
- Posts are published under your chosen username (your pseudonym)
- Tags should accurately reflect the book, genre, or topic being discussed
- Interactions (reactions, comments, shares) follow the same rules as other content types
Author Verification: Real authors of books may claim authorship on Bookworms posts by submitting proof of credentials (publisher links, social media profiles, ISBN references, or author websites). Verification claims are reviewed by administrators.
- Verified authors receive a visible "Verified Author" badge on their claimed posts
- Submitting a false author claim is a serious violation — if caught, the claim will be revoked and a "Not the actual author" label will be displayed on the specific post(s) where the false claim was made
- Users with similar usernames or display names to real authors who make false claims will also be flagged
- The "Not the actual author" flag is only applied to posts with revoked false claims, not all posts by the user
- False author claims may result in strikes under the content relevance policy (Section 16)
20. Identity Reveal System
Huni provides an Identity Reveal system that allows users to request the identity of anonymous post authors. The author who chooses to reveal their identity is referred to as the "Revealer". By using this feature, you agree to the following:
- Entirely voluntary: The Revealer is under no obligation to accept any reveal request. Accepting or declining is entirely at the Revealer's sole discretion.
- Social media verification: Identity reveals do not disclose usernames or email addresses. Instead, the Revealer provides links to their social media profiles for authentication purposes.
- NDA is optional: The Revealer may choose to require a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) as part of the reveal process, but it is not mandatory. When an NDA is required, both parties must digitally sign before identity information is shared. The NDA is legally binding and enforceable.
- Monetary exchange: Either party may propose a monetary exchange for the reveal. The Revealer can set a price, and the Requester can offer a price. Payment is processed through the Huni wallet system. Huni does not guarantee refunds for completed reveals.
- Bulk reveals: The Revealer may choose to reveal their identity to multiple users at once through a bulk reveal. Each individual Requester in a bulk reveal must still independently agree to the terms (and sign the NDA if required).
- No platform responsibility: Huni provides the reveal and NDA system as a tool. Huni assumes NO responsibility for any consequences, disputes, damages, or outcomes arising from identity reveals. Both parties proceed entirely at their own risk.
- Abuse prevention: Using revealed identity information for harassment, stalking, doxxing, blackmail, or any malicious purpose is a violation of these Terms and will result in immediate permanent ban and potential legal action.
- Request limits: Reveal requests expire after 14 days if not responded to. Users may disable reveal requests in their account settings.
21. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for Identity Reveals
The NDA is an optional but recommended part of the Identity Reveal process. The Revealer decides whether to require an NDA. By signing an NDA on Huni:
- Your digital signature carries the same legal weight as a handwritten signature
- Your full legal name, IP address, and timestamp are recorded as part of the signing record
- The signed NDA may be used as evidence in legal proceedings by either party
- Breach of the NDA — including sharing, distributing, screenshotting, or publishing revealed information — may result in permanent platform ban and legal liability for damages
- The NDA is designed to protect the Revealer and provide legal recourse in case of breach
- Huni stores NDA records securely but does not act as a legal mediator between parties
- Both parties are encouraged to seek independent legal advice before signing if they have concerns
22. Huni Diaries
Huni Diaries allows users to create personal journals with date-based entries. By using this feature:
- Diaries are anonymous by default; you may set a display name separate from your username
- Entries can only be created for past or current dates, not future dates
- Cover images may be customized with layout, position, and zoom settings
- If you enable donations on your diary, you agree to Huni's platform fee structure for processing
- Followers of your diary will receive notifications when you post new entries
- Deleting a diary soft-deletes it; data may be retained per our data retention policy
23. Temporary / Momentary Posts
Huni allows users to create temporary posts ("Momentary Hunis") that are automatically removed from public view after a user-selected duration. By using this feature:
- Temporary posts are permanently deleted after the chosen expiration period (10 minutes to 24 hours). This deletion is irreversible — there is no way to recover, restore, or retrieve expired Momentary Hunis
- Data may be retained as required by law for safety and legal compliance purposes only — it is never visible to users again
- All associated data — including reactions, comments, shares, and bookmarks — is permanently deleted when a temporary post expires
- Users cannot extend, recover, or restore expired temporary posts once the timer has elapsed
- Abuse of temporary posts to evade moderation, circumvent the strike system, or post prohibited content is strictly forbidden and will result in strikes or bans as outlined in Section 16
- Content policies, prohibited content rules, and all other Terms apply equally to temporary and permanent posts
- Screenshot and screen capture protection is applied to momentary posts. Attempting to circumvent these protections is a violation of these Terms
- Users may subscribe to momentary post notifications with customizable time frame preferences
23b. Huni Q&A & Comment Heat Tags
Huni Q&A is a third post type alongside regular and Momentary Hunis. A Q&A post is a question (selected from a pre-written prompt or written by the user) that the community answers in the comments. By using this feature:
- Pre-written prompts are curated by Huni and may be added, edited, or removed at any time without notice. They are intended as conversation starters, not legal or professional advice
- Q&A posts and the answers (comments) are subject to the same content policies, prohibited content rules, anonymity protections, and moderation system as any other post on the platform — see Sections 12–16
- Comments on any post (including Q&A posts) may receive emoji reactions from signed-in users (heart, laugh, clap, fire, relatable). Counts are public; individual reactor identity follows the same anonymity rules as posting
- Comment "heat tags" (Hot Take, Top Reply, Sparked Debate, Relatable, Wholesome) are computed automatically from raw reaction and reply counts. Huni does not store, persist, or curate the tag itself — it is a real-time visual indicator and may change as engagement shifts
- Heat tags carry no editorial endorsement. A "Hot Take" tag is a signal that the comment received polarising reactions, not that Huni agrees with it. Users should not infer platform endorsement from any heat tag
- Abuse of Q&A or the comment-reactions system to coordinate brigading, manipulate visibility, or evade moderation is strictly forbidden and will result in strikes or bans as outlined in Section 16
24. Live Sessions
Live Huni sessions are real-time interactive events hosted by users. By participating:
- You agree to follow all Platform rules during live sessions
- Session hosts have the authority to moderate participants
- Live messages are subject to the same content policies as other Platform content
- Sessions may be password-protected or invite-only at the host's discretion
- Huni is not responsible for content shared during live sessions
25. Digital Autographs & Signatures
Huni provides a digital autograph system where any user can create unique, collectible signatures that others can collect. Each minted autograph is digitally unique, timestamped, and cryptographically locked. By using this feature:
- Autographs may include messages, greetings, images, and/or videos with customizable templates
- Each collected autograph receives a unique mint number and cryptographic signature hash, making it verifiable and one-of-a-kind
- Authors may set autographs as free or charge a price. Payments are processed through the Huni wallet system
- Authors may limit the total supply of an autograph or leave it unlimited
- Once collected, an autograph belongs to the recipient and appears in their profile collection
- Autographs cannot be transferred between users — they are permanently tied to the collecting account
- Huni charges a platform fee on paid autograph transactions
- Digital autographs are collectible items with no guaranteed monetary value. Huni does not operate a secondary marketplace and makes no representations about the future value of any autograph
- Creating autographs with misleading content, impersonation, or intellectual property violations will result in removal and potential strikes
26. Multi-Language Support
Huni provides translations in multiple languages for user convenience. Translations are provided on a best-effort basis and may not be perfectly accurate. In case of discrepancy between the English version and any translated version of these Terms, the English version prevails. Users are responsible for ensuring they understand the terms regardless of language selection.
27. Prohibited Content
You agree NOT to post content that:
- Is illegal, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or discriminatory
- Constitutes hate speech targeting individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics
- Contains personal information of others without their consent (doxxing)
- Promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activities
- Contains sexually explicit material involving minors
- Infringes on intellectual property rights of others
- Is spam, phishing, or commercial solicitation
- Impersonates another person or entity
- Attempts to manipulate the Platform's ranking, scoring, or credibility voting systems
- Contains malware, viruses, or other harmful code
- Encourages or facilitates any of the above
28. Brand Marks, Trademarks & Intellectual Property
Common-Law Trademarks (™). The following names, marks, logos, taglines, and trade dress are claimed as common-law trademarks of HuniWhisp, first used in commerce in 2025 and continuously used thereafter. All rights reserved. The absence of a registered ® symbol does not waive any rights — common-law trademark rights arise from use and priority of use, and are enforceable independent of federal registration.
- HuniWhisp™ (the platform name)
- Huni™ (the short brand name)
- huniwhisp.com (the brand domain)
- Momentary Hunis™ (self-destructing-confessions feature)
- Huni Q&A™ (community-answered prompt feature)
- Huni Diaries™
- Huni Stories™
- Huni Reviews™

- The product tagline(s) used on this Platform
- Any other distinctive name, logo, icon, badge, button, color combination, or visual element introduced by HuniWhisp on this Platform from time to time
Prohibited Uses.Without prior written authorization from HuniWhisp, you may not (a) use any of the marks above, or any name or mark that is confusingly similar, in any company name, product name, app name, domain name, social-media handle, hashtag, advertising material, merchandise, or business identifier; (b) imply affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by HuniWhisp; (c) register or attempt to register any of the marks (or any confusingly similar mark) with any trademark office or domain registrar; or (d) display the marks in a manner that disparages, dilutes, or tarnishes their reputation. Nominative fair use (e.g. truthfully referring to “HuniWhisp” in a news article or review) is permitted, provided you do not suggest endorsement.
Platform IP.The Platform's source code, compiled binaries, database schemas, APIs, machine-learning models, anti-abuse systems, ranking and moderation algorithms, design files, copy, illustrations, and overall “look and feel” (trade dress) are proprietary works owned by HuniWhisp and protected by copyright, trade-secret, and database-right laws worldwide. You receive no license to any of the foregoing except the limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to access and use the Platform as an end user under these Terms.
User Content License (cross-reference). Content you upload remains your intellectual property, subject to the license you grant HuniWhisp under Section 4 to host, display, distribute, and moderate that content on the Platform.
Brand Evolution Does Not Waive Rights. HuniWhisp may update, refresh, or replace any logo, color scheme, icon, or visual identity at any time as the Platform evolves. Continued use after a brand refresh constitutes acceptance of the new identity. A brand refresh is not abandonment of the prior mark — both prior and current visual identities continue to enjoy common-law protection so long as the underlying brand name remains in continuous use.
Reporting Misuse. If you become aware of unauthorized commercial use of the marks above (impostor accounts, knockoff apps, counterfeit merchandise, squatted domains, etc.), please report it to the contact email in Section 51.
28b. Acceptable Technical Use & Anti-Abuse
In addition to the conduct rules elsewhere in these Terms, you agree NOT to do any of the following with respect to the Platform, its data, or its infrastructure without HuniWhisp's prior written authorization:
- Scraping, crawling, or harvesting any portion of the Platform or its content (whether public or behind authentication) by automated means, except by good-faith search-engine crawlers obeying our robots.txt.
- Bulk download or mirroringof users' posts, comments, profile data, or any other Platform content.
- Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or attempting to derive the source code of the Platform, its mobile apps, its APIs, or any cryptographic or anti-abuse component.
- Bypassing or circumventing rate limits, paywalls, age gates, content filters, security mechanisms, captchas, or geographic restrictions, or attempting to access portions of the Platform you have not been granted access to.
- Automated account creation, including using disposable email services, residential-IP rotation services, anti-fingerprinting browsers, or stolen identity documents to register accounts at scale.
- Using Platform content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark machine-learning, large-language, or generative-AI models(whether commercial, academic, or personal), or for any other dataset-construction purpose, without an explicit written data-licensing agreement signed by an authorized HuniWhisp officer. The Platform's textual and visual content is not a public training corpus.
- Penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, denial-of-service testing, or any security probing against the Platform without prior written authorization. We welcome good-faith vulnerability reports — see Section 47 for the contact and our safe-harbor terms in the Bug-Bounty Disclosure (if published).
- Re-publishing, syndicating, or commercially exploitingany user-generated content from the Platform without the author's explicit consent and a license from HuniWhisp.
- Embedding the Platform in a frame, overlay, or wrapper appdesigned to misappropriate engagement, inject ads, or strip HuniWhisp branding.
We reserve the right to investigate, throttle, ban, and pursue civil and criminal remedies — including under the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the EU Database Directive, and equivalent foreign laws — against persons or organisations who violate this section. Detected violations may also result in immediate account termination without refund.
29. NSFW Content Policy
Huni allows certain NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content provided it is properly tagged. All NSFW content must be tagged appropriately so that users who have opted out of NSFW content will not see it.
- NSFW content must be tagged before posting
- Failure to tag NSFW content appropriately may result in content removal and account penalties
- NSFW content involving minors is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate permanent ban and reporting to authorities
- Users can control their NSFW content visibility in their account settings
30. Limitation of Liability
Huni is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
HUNIWHISP IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, regardless of the cause of action or the theory of liability.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Platform. We are not responsible for content posted by users, decisions made based on user content, or any interactions between users. You use the Platform entirely at your own risk.
31. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Huni, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party; or (d) any content you post on the Platform. This indemnification obligation survives the termination of your account and these Terms.
32. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account at any time for violations of these terms or for any reason at our sole discretion, with or without prior notice. You may delete your account at any time through your profile settings. Upon termination or account deletion, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Account deletion removes all user-visible data including your profile, posts, comments, and wallet history. However, data may be retained as required by law for legal compliance, fraud prevention, and safety purposes. Content you have posted may remain on the Platform after account deletion if it has been shared or interacted with by others. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 5, 6, 16, 17, 20, 21, 23, 25, 30, 31, 33, 36, 38, 47, 48, and 50.
33. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Governing Law:
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Where mandatory consumer-protection laws or data-protection laws of your country of residence (e.g., GDPR for the EU/EEA, UK GDPR, CCPA for California, LGPD for Brazil) provide stronger rights than these Terms, those laws apply in addition to these Terms.
Informal Resolution First:
Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at the addresses in section 46 and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most disputes can be resolved this way and we encourage it.
Binding Individual Arbitration:
If informal resolution fails, you and HuniWhisp agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, not in court. Arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or a comparable arbitral body, in English, by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision is final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver:
You and HuniWhisp agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against HuniWhisp. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Exceptions to Arbitration:
- You may bring a claim in small claims court if it qualifies under that court's jurisdictional limits.
- Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.
- Where local law (such as EU consumer protection statutes) prohibits binding arbitration or class waivers for consumer disputes, those provisions do not apply to you and you may bring claims in your local courts.
Opt-Out:
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of creating your account by sending a written notice to legal@huniwhisp.com with your username, email, and a clear statement that you opt out of binding arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
34. Contact Syncing
Huni offers an optional contact sync feature on mobile devices to help you find friends who are already on the Platform and invite those who are not. By using this feature:
- Your contacts are hashed using one-way cryptographic hashing before being sent to our servers. Raw contact data (names, phone numbers, emails) is never stored on Huni servers
- Hashed contact data is used solely for matching against existing Huni accounts and is not retained after the matching process is complete
- Contact sync is entirely optional and can be disabled at any time in your account settings
- Huni will never send messages, emails, or notifications to your contacts without your explicit action
- You are responsible for having appropriate consent from your contacts before syncing
35. Invitations and Invite Codes
Huni provides an invite system that allows users to invite friends via link, email, SMS, or personal invite codes. By using this feature:
- Personal invite codes are unique to each user and expire after 30 days from the date of generation
- You must not use the invite system to send unsolicited or bulk invitations (spam). Abuse of the invite system may result in invite privileges being revoked
- Huni does not guarantee delivery of invite emails or SMS messages and is not responsible for messages filtered by third-party spam systems
- Invite tracking data (who you invited and their status) is visible only to you in your dashboard
- Huni reserves the right to limit the number of invites a user can send within a given time period
36. Loyalty Program
The Huni Loyalty Program rewards users with points for engagement and interaction on the Platform. By participating in the Loyalty Program:
- Points are earned through activities such as posting, commenting, reacting, diary entries, hosting live sessions, and maintaining daily streaks
- Points and loyalty levels (Newcomer, Contributor, Enthusiast, Champion, Legend) are for engagement recognition only and have no monetary value
- Points cannot be exchanged for cash, credits, donations, or any form of currency — on or off the Platform
- Huni reserves the right to modify point values, level thresholds, and program structure at any time without prior notice
- Manipulation of the loyalty system (e.g., spam posting, bot activity, or coordinated farming) will result in points being revoked and potential account penalties
- Loyalty levels may unlock cosmetic or engagement-based perks but do not confer any financial benefit
37. Premium Membership Tiers
Huni currently offers two active premium membership tiers:
- Basic: $1.99/month — ad-free browsing, basic profile badge, increased daily post limits
- Plus: $3.99/month — all Basic benefits plus advanced search, analytics, exclusive themes, and priority support
A third tier (Pro) is on the roadmap and will be re-enabled once its bundled premium features ship. Pro is currently notpurchasable. Existing Pro subscribers from earlier rollout (if any) retain their entitlement through the end of their current billing cycle and are then transitioned to Plus or refunded for the unused portion at the user's choice.
Annual billing is available at a discounted rate (up to 40% savings). Subscriptions are managed through your wallet balance. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. Refunds for partial billing periods are not provided. Huni reserves the right to modify pricing and benefits with reasonable notice to subscribers.
38. Platform Fees Summary
The following platform fees apply to financial transactions on Huni:
- Donations: 3% platform fee on all donations sent through the Platform
- Payouts: 1.5% + $0.25 processing fee on withdrawals to external bank accounts or payment methods
- Paid autographs: Platform fee applies to paid autograph transactions
- Paid live sessions: Platform fee applies to paid session access charges (up to $9.99 per session)
- Identity reveals: Monetary exchanges during identity reveals are processed through the wallet system and subject to standard fees
All fees are deducted automatically at the time of transaction. Fee rates are subject to change with reasonable notice. Current fee rates are always displayed at the point of transaction.
39. Feature Availability
Certain features may be temporarily disabled or marked as "Coming Soon" during the platform's phased launch. Huni reserves the right to enable, disable, or modify features at any time.
40. Founders Awards
Huni may award select users with Founders Awards (Founder, Early Adopter, Contributor) recognizing their early participation. These awards are honorary, non-transferable, and confer no monetary value or special platform privileges beyond a visual badge. Awards may be revoked at Huni's discretion.
41. Analytics and Location Data
When you create an account, we may collect your IP address and derive approximate location data (country, state/province, city) for platform analytics and fraud prevention. We may detect the use of VPN or proxy services. This data is used for aggregate platform statistics and is accessible only to platform administrators. We do not sell or share location data with third parties.
42. Goal Celebrations and Aspirations Anti-Spam Rules
Aspirations are public goal commitments with a timeline of progress updates. To keep the aspirations feed meaningful and protect it from drive-by spam, HuniWhisp enforces the following limits on aspiration creation and goal completion:
- Creation daily limit: You may create at most 3 new aspirations per 24-hour window. This applies per user account and is enforced server-side.
- Concurrent active goals: You may hold at most 8 aspirations in "in progress" status at the same time. Complete or abandon existing goals before starting more.
- Minimum gap between creations: At least 5 minutes must pass between creating two aspirations from the same account. This prevents burst creation.
- Minimum updates before completion: You must add at least 3 timeline updates documenting your progressbefore the "Mark as Completed" action is available. This rule is enforced on both the client and the server — any attempt to mark a goal complete with fewer than 3 updates will be rejected.
- Celebration announcements are limited to one per completed aspiration. You cannot re-celebrate the same goal by toggling its status.
- Users can disable celebration animations in their account settings (celebrations they trigger still appear for followers who have opted in).
- Celebrations are cosmetic and do not affect any platform ranking, feed prioritization, or reward mechanics.
- Abuse consequences: Repeated abuse of the aspirations feature — including evading the anti-spam limits, deleting and recreating goals to reset the counters, or celebrating goals that are clearly joke/spam content — may result in the aspirations feature being disabled for your account, a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban depending on severity and history.
43. Sharing and External Platforms
HuniWhisp provides share tools so you can distribute public posts and stories to external services — social networks (X / Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn), messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, email), your device's native share sheet, QR codes, and embeddable iframes. By using these share tools you agree that:
- Once content is shared to an external platform, it is subject to that platform's terms, privacy policies, and content moderation. HuniWhisp has no control over how external services cache, index, archive, or display shared links.
- Shared posts carry only your chosen username (your pseudonym) on external destinations — no email, IP, real name, or other account identifiers are attached to outbound share links, previews, or embed code.
- You are responsible for what you choose to share and to whom. Only public posts should be shared externally; do not attempt to share private messages, drafts, or deleted content.
- Embed codes render the post as a live iframe that updates if the original post is edited, archived, or removed. Embedded posts that are subsequently deleted or made private will stop rendering and may display a "post no longer available" notice.
- Native device sharing on the mobile apps uses your operating system's share sheet. Any apps listed there (Messages, Mail, Notes, contact apps, installed social apps) are third-party services and are outside the scope of these Terms.
- Share counts are tracked in aggregate for analytics purposes only and do not identify which external platform you used or any personal information about the recipient.
- HuniWhisp reserves the right to disable the share button for specific posts, categories, or accounts if the share feature is being abused (for example, to evade bans, mass-broadcast spam, or redirect users to off-platform scams).
44. Accessibility and Colorblind-Friendly Themes
HuniWhisp is committed to being usable by readers with color vision deficiencies (CVD) and low vision. In addition to our standard themes, the platform ships three dedicated accessibility themes that can be selected from the theme picker in the navbar or from your profile settings:
- Clear Horizon (CB) — Safe for red-green colorblindness (deuteranopia and protanopia, affecting ~6% of men and ~0.4% of women). Uses a blue + orange accent palette, which is considered the universally accessible color pair across every common form of CVD.
- Rose Atlas (CB) — Safe for blue-yellow colorblindness (tritanopia). Uses a rose/magenta + teal accent palette that avoids blue/yellow distinctions entirely.
- High Contrast (CB) — Maximum contrast mode for users with low vision or any form of CVD. Pure-black (dark mode) or pure-white (light mode) background, WCAG AAA text contrast ratios (≥7:1), thicker borders, enlarged focus outlines, and a vivid yellow accent in dark mode / deep blue accent in light mode.
These themes override danger/success/warning semantic colors as well, so error messages and confirmations never rely on red/green distinctions alone. All themes respect the user's dark-mode / light-mode preference independently — you can use High Contrast in light mode for a pure-white WCAG AAA interface, or in dark mode for a pure-black one. Theme selection is stored per device in local storage and does not leave your browser.
We welcome feedback on accessibility. If any part of the Platform is difficult to use with a screen reader, assistive technology, or specific visual condition, please contact us via the methods listed in the Contact section below. Accessibility reports are triaged with the same priority as bug reports.
44b. Mobile App Distribution & In-App Behavior
The HuniWhisp Android app is distributed through the Google Play Store (package com.huni.app) and is a Capacitor wrapper around the same web application served at huniwhisp.com. iOS distribution is on the roadmap. Because the WebView loads from the live website on every launch, web-side fixes apply in the app without a Play Store update; only changes that touch the native shell (permissions, plugins, manifest) require a new app version.
In-app navigation behavior:
- An in-header back chevron appears on every page except the home shell (
/,/home,/explore,/about,/auth). Tapping it returns you to the previous screen, falling back to/homewhen opened via a deep link with no in-app history. - The Android system back button navigates back through your in-app history. Once you are on a home-shell page, the first press surfaces a "Press back again to exit" toast; a second press within 2 seconds closes the app. This is to prevent accidental exits from a single tap.
- The app honors your device's auto-rotate setting and supports portrait, landscape, and reverse-landscape orientations.
- The Android system navigation bar (back / home / recents) is hidden inside the app to give the app's own bottom navigation the full bottom edge of the device. Swiping up from the very bottom briefly reveals the system bar (escape hatch).
Android permissions requested:
- INTERNET + ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — required to load
huniwhisp.com - POST_NOTIFICATIONS — only used after you grant the runtime prompt for new-message and reaction notifications
- READ_CONTACTS — only requested if you explicitly enable Contact Sync (see Privacy Policy §3); for one-off invites we use Android's Contact Picker which does not require this permission
- VIBRATE — for the haptic-tap micro-interaction on buttons (no-op if your device's haptics are disabled)
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — to re-register push notification listeners after a phone restart
- WAKE_LOCK — to keep the screen alive while you compose a long post or watch a Live Huni
We do not request location, camera (other than via the system file picker when you upload media), microphone, calendar, SMS, call-log, or biometric permissions. The app does not run any background service or foreground service.
Updates to the app are distributed through the Google Play Store on the same release cadence as the website. We may issue staged rollouts (e.g., 10% → 50% → 100%) to monitor for crashes via Android Vitals before promoting to all users. Crash data collected by Google Play is governed by Google's privacy policy.
45. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated through Platform notifications. Your continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you must stop using the Platform.
46. DMCA Takedown Procedure
HuniWhisp respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998. If you believe content posted on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to our designated DMCA agent.
What to include in a DMCA notice:
- Your full legal name and contact information (mailing address, telephone, email)
- A clear identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
- The specific URL(s) on HuniWhisp where the allegedly infringing content appears
- A statement, made in good faith, that the use of the material is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf
- Your physical or electronic signature
Where to send DMCA notices:
Email DMCA notices to dmca@huniwhisp.com. We aim to act on valid notices within 10 business days by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content and notifying the user who posted it.
Counter-Notice Procedure:
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including: your contact information, identification of the removed content, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed in error, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the address you provided (or, if outside the US, the District of Delaware), and your physical or electronic signature. Send counter-notices to dmca@huniwhisp.com.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we will restore the content.
Repeat Infringer Policy:
We will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat copyright infringers. We also reserve the right to remove any content alleged to be infringing without prior notice and at our sole discretion.
Warning:Knowingly submitting a false DMCA notice is a federal offense and may subject you to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Please consult an attorney before filing if you are unsure whether the use is infringing.
47. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its original intent — or, if modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms entirely.
48. Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by HuniWhisp. A waiver of any term or condition on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of these Terms.
49. Force Majeure
HuniWhisp shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms where such delay or failure results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics, government actions, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, or other events of force majeure. During such events, our obligations are suspended for the duration of the force majeure event, and we will make reasonable efforts to resume normal operations as soon as practicable.
50. Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, Child Safety Standards, and any other policies or guidelines referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and HuniWhisp regarding your use of the Platform. These Terms supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation, promise, or agreement not expressly contained in these Terms shall be binding on either party.
