Terms of Use

These terms are the agreement between you and Yash Kumar Sinha, who runs LowKey. By creating an account you accept them. How we handle personal data is in the Privacy Notice.

1. The beta

LowKey is in beta: an early, free version shared with invited groups. It is provided “as is”. It may change, be unavailable, or lose data. Keep your own copies of anything important (export them), and do not rely on LowKey as the only place something is stored. We may end the beta, or your access to it, with notice where we can give it.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 or older.
• Give your real name and an email address you use. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account.
• Tell us at once if you think someone else has used your account.

3. Your content

What you write and upload stays yours. You give us permission to store, process, copy (for versions, branches and backups), show and transmit it only to run LowKey for you and the people you share with. Anything you put into a document someone else owns becomes part of their document.

4. What you must not host, share or upload

You must not use LowKey to host, display, upload, change, publish, transmit, store, update or share anything that:

1. belongs to another person and you have no right to;
2. is obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another person's privacy (including bodily privacy), insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, racially or ethnically objectionable, relates to or encourages money laundering or gambling, or promotes enmity between groups on the grounds of religion or caste with the intent to incite violence;
3. is harmful to children;
4. infringes any patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right;
5. deceives or misleads about where a message came from, or knowingly and intentionally communicates misinformation, or information that is patently false and untrue or misleading in nature;
6. impersonates another person;
7. threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign States, or public order, or causes incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence, or prevents the investigation of any offence, or is insulting to another nation;
8. contains a software virus or any other computer code, file or program designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functioning of any computer resource;
9. is an online game that is not verified as a permissible online game, or advertises one; or
10. violates any law in force.

Also: do not try to break, overload or get around the security of LowKey, or access what was not shared with you.

5. If these rules are broken

We may remove or disable access to content that breaks these rules, and suspend or end the account responsible. We act on orders of a court or an authorised government agency within the time the law sets, and keep the records the law requires. Anyone can report content to our Grievance Officer (see Grievances & your rights).

6. Responsibility

To the extent the law allows, LowKey is provided without warranties, and we are not liable for indirect losses or for loss of data. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under law that cannot be limited.

7. Ending

You can stop at any time and delete your account from Account. We may suspend or end accounts that break these terms.

8. Changes and law

We will tell you about important changes and ask you to accept them before you continue. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction. We remind users of these rules at least once a year.
