Terms of Service
Last updated: June 11, 2026
By downloading or using Konek.chat ("the app"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. What Konek.chat is
Konek.chat is a free, offline, peer-to-peer communication tool that relays messages between nearby devices over Bluetooth. It is provided for community resilience and emergency communication.
2. Not an emergency service
Konek.chat is NOT a substitute for 911 or official emergency services. It is best-effort: delivery is not guaranteed, range is limited, and it depends on other people nearby running the app. Always use official emergency channels when available, and never rely on Konek.chat as your only means of getting help.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Konek.chat to:
- send false emergency alerts or impersonate an authority;
- harass, threaten, defraud, or harm others;
- broadcast unlawful content; or
- disrupt, overload, or interfere with the mesh network.
Official "Verified" announcements may only be posted by authorities we have explicitly authorized.
4. Public vs private content
Some messages — SOS, location shares, public rooms, and official alerts — are broadcast and readable by anyone nearby. You are responsible for what you broadcast. Private 1-on-1 chats are end-to-end encrypted.
5. No warranty
The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that messages will be delivered, that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will work in any given situation.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, Konek.chat — including any failure to deliver a message or reach help.
7. Your device & data
You are responsible for your device, its security, and your local data. The app stores data on your device; uninstalling, or using Panic wipe, removes it.
8. Changes
We may update the app and these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
