Terms and Conditions

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
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms

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.

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

Direct messages 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. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

You must not use the messaging system to send unsolicited commercial messages, harass other users, or distribute harmful content. 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.

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

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.

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

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

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:

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.

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.

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 can be posted anonymously or with your username visible
• Interactions (reactions, comments, shares) on stories follow the same rules as other content

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 can be made anonymously or with your username visible
• 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)

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Huni name, logo, design, and all associated branding are the intellectual property of Huni. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Platform without explicit written permission. The Platform's source code, algorithms, and infrastructure are proprietary. User-uploaded content remains the intellectual property of the original creator, subject to the license granted to Huni in Section 4.

Logo Notice: The current Huni logo and visual branding are temporary and subject to change at any time. Huni reserves the right to update, modify, or replace the logo, color scheme, and visual identity as the platform evolves. Continued use of the platform after branding changes constitutes acceptance.

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

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

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

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
