3.1 Eligibility Requirements

To use the Services, you must: (a) be at least 18 years of age; (b) not be prohibited from using the Services under the laws of your jurisdiction; (c) not have had a previous account terminated for violating these Terms; and (d) provide accurate, current, and complete registration information.

3.2 Account Creation

You may register for an account using a valid email address and password, or by linking a supported third-party social login service (e.g., Google, Apple). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately at service@bonk.today if you suspect unauthorized access to or misuse of your account.

3.3 Account Accuracy

You agree to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information at registration and to keep your account information up to date. Providing false information, including falsifying your age or identity, is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination and potential legal action.

3.4 One Account Per Person

Each User may maintain only one active ${APP_NAME} account at a time. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent a suspension or ban, exploit promotional offers, or otherwise abuse the Services is strictly prohibited and will result in termination of all associated accounts.

3.5 Account Security

You are solely responsible for all activity conducted through your account. ${APP_NAME} is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security. We recommend using a strong, unique password and enabling any available two-factor authentication features.

 

4. Minor Protection and Age Restriction

4.1 Strict Age Limit

Bonk is exclusively intended for adults aged 18 years and older. We maintain a strict no-minors policy across all features of the Services, including but not limited to video calls, text chat, user matching, and virtual gifting. If you are under 18 years of age, you are not permitted to use the Services under any circumstances.

4.2 Age Verification

All users are required to enter their date of birth during account registration. ${APP_NAME} reserves the right to employ additional age verification measures, including third-party identity verification services, to enforce this age restriction. Accounts created by or on behalf of individuals under 18 will be permanently terminated upon detection, and any associated funds or virtual items will be forfeited without refund.

4.3 Reporting Underage Users

If you encounter a user who you believe to be under the age of 18 on the platform, you must report them immediately using the in-app reporting feature or by emailing service@bonk.today. We take all such reports seriously and will investigate and take appropriate action, including account termination and notification of relevant authorities, within 72 hours of verified report.

4.4 Parental and Guardian Notice

Parents and legal guardians are advised that ${APP_NAME} is an adult-only platform. If you believe your child has created an account or accessed the Services without your consent, please contact us immediately at service@bonk.today. We will cooperate fully with parents and guardians to secure the removal of a minor's account and associated data.

4.5 Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

Bonk has a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form. The following actions are strictly prohibited on our platform and will result in immediate account termination, permanent ban, preservation and reporting of all relevant account data, and mandatory reporting to law enforcement and applicable child protection authorities:

 Uploading, sharing, streaming, distributing, or soliciting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind, including digitally generated or AI-produced imagery depicting minors in a sexual context.

 Using the Services to groom, solicit, or engage in sexual communication with any person under the age of 18, regardless of whether the minor's identity has been verified.

 Facilitating, organizing, promoting, or enabling the sexual exploitation, trafficking, or abuse of children through any feature of the Services.

 Impersonating a minor or falsely representing oneself as an adult to gain access to interactions with minors.

${APP_NAME} employs a combination of automated CSAM detection technology (including PhotoDNA hash-matching), AI-powered behavioral monitoring, and a dedicated 24/7 Trust and Safety team to proactively identify and respond to CSAE-related activity. All confirmed CSAE incidents are reported without delay to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline and to the relevant law enforcement authorities in the applicable jurisdiction. Users who encounter any suspected CSAE activity must report it immediately via the in-app report function or at service@bonk.today.

7. Virtual Items, In-App Purchases, and Recharge

7.1 Bonk Coins and Virtual Items

Bonk offers an in-app virtual currency called "Bonk Coins" and a range of virtual items, including animated gifts, visual effects, profile decorations, and premium feature access. Bonk Coins and Virtual Items are purchased for use exclusively within the Services and have no real-world monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to other users (except through the gifting mechanism within the Services), or redeemed outside the platform.

7.2 Purchase Process

You may purchase Bonk Coins through the in-app store, using payment methods supported by the respective app marketplace (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) or any direct payment options we provide. All purchases are processed by the applicable marketplace or payment processor, and their terms of service also apply to your transaction. By completing a purchase, you authorize the applicable charge to your payment method.

7.3 Pricing and Taxes

Prices for Bonk Coins and Virtual Items are displayed in your local currency or USD equivalent at the point of purchase. Prices are subject to change without prior notice. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and transaction fees associated with your purchase, unless otherwise indicated at the point of sale.

7.4 Non-Refundable Policy

ALL PURCHASES OF BONK COINS AND VIRTUAL ITEMS ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in this Section 7. Once Bonk Coins have been used to purchase Virtual Items or gifted to other users, those transactions cannot be reversed. This no-refund policy reflects the digital and immediately consumable nature of Virtual Items.

7.5 Exceptional Refund Circumstances

${APP_NAME} may, at its sole discretion, issue refunds or credits in the following limited circumstances:

 Technical errors caused solely by ${APP_NAME} that result in a failed purchase where Bonk Coins or payment were deducted but no Virtual Item was delivered.

 Unauthorized transactions demonstrated to have been made without your knowledge or consent, provided you report the transaction within 7 days of the charge and provide supporting evidence.

 Refunds required by mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction that cannot be contractually waived.

To request a refund under one of the above circumstances, contact our support team at service@bonk.today with the subject line "Refund Request" within the applicable timeframe. We will review your request and respond within 10 business days. Refund requests submitted to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are handled according to those platforms' respective refund policies, and ${APP_NAME} may have limited ability to influence their outcome.

7.6 Account Termination and Forfeiture

If your account is suspended or terminated by ${APP_NAME} for a violation of these Terms, all unused Bonk Coins and Virtual Items in your account will be permanently forfeited without compensation. You acknowledge that all rights to Virtual Items are a limited license that terminates upon account closure, whether voluntary or involuntary.

7.7 Subscription Services

${APP_NAME} may offer auto-renewing subscription plans ("Premium Subscriptions") that unlock additional features or benefits. By subscribing, you authorize ${APP_NAME} or the applicable marketplace to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current subscription price until you cancel. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your device's account settings (App Store or Google Play). Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and no refunds will be issued for unused portions of a subscription period unless required by applicable law.

7.8 Modification of Virtual Economy

${APP_NAME} reserves the right to modify, adjust, or discontinue any Virtual Items, Bonk Coin denominations, pricing structures, or Virtual Item features at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to the virtual economy where practicable. ${APP_NAME} shall have no liability for such modifications except where required by applicable law.

7.9 Dispute Resolution for Purchases

If you have a billing dispute, please first contact ${APP_NAME} support at service@bonk.today before initiating a chargeback with your payment provider. Most billing issues can be resolved quickly through our support team. Initiating a chargeback without first contacting support may result in temporary account suspension while the dispute is investigated. ${APP_NAME} reserves the right to permanently terminate accounts found to have abused the chargeback process.

 

8. Live Video Call and Matching Features

8.1 1-on-1 Video Calls

${APP_NAME} enables real-time 1-on-1 live video calls between registered users. You may initiate a call with a specific user from your connection list or contact a recently matched user. By participating in a video call, you consent to being seen and heard by the other party for the duration of the call. You must not record, capture, or screenshot video calls without the prior explicit consent of all participating parties. Unauthorized recording of video calls is a violation of these Terms and may violate applicable privacy laws.

8.3 Behavior During Calls

All Community Guidelines and Content standards described in Sections 5 and 6 apply in full during live video calls. You must not expose nudity, engage in sexually explicit behavior, display hate symbols, or engage in any prohibited conduct during a video call. Violations detected by automated monitoring or reported by other users may result in immediate call termination, temporary or permanent account suspension, and escalation to appropriate authorities where required.

8.4 Call Quality and Availability

${APP_NAME} does not guarantee the uninterrupted availability, quality, or latency of video calls, as call performance is dependent on your device capabilities, internet connection, and network conditions. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience arising from call interruptions, dropped connections, or degraded call quality.

${APP_NAME} provides in-app text messaging functionality that allows registered users to exchange text messages, stickers, and media within the platform.

Users may send Virtual Items, including animated gifts and interactive effects, to other users as a form of appreciation or interaction. Virtual gifts are purchased using Bonk Coins and have no real-world cash value.

Gift transactions are logged and may be reviewed by our team for fraud detection or dispute resolution purposes.

9.3 No Commercial Solicitation

The chat and gifting features are provided for personal social interaction only.
