Terms of Service

Your agreement and eligibility

Kolsphere is owned and operated by MarkMyTech LLC. Contact: [email protected]. These Terms of Service cover our website, browser app, iOS and Android apps, sessions, posts, comments, messages and related services. By agreeing during registration, you enter an agreement with MarkMyTech LLC. Our Privacy Policy explains our handling of personal information; acknowledging it does not waive your privacy rights or provide consent for unrelated uses.

The beta is for adults aged 18 or older who can enter this agreement. Do not use the service where doing so is unlawful or prohibited by applicable sanctions. If you act for an organization, you must have authority to bind it. Email verification confirms access to an address, not age, identity, professional qualifications or company ownership.

Accounts and usernames

Keep your sign-in email secure and provide accurate account information. Do not impersonate another person, organization or the platform. Public usernames are unique and subject to the published username policy, including reserved names and safety restrictions. A username does not establish ownership of a trademark or professional status. Company verification, paid handles and brand accounts are future services subject to separate approval and terms; paying does not establish identity or override a reservation.

You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account. Do not share sign-in codes, sell or transfer accounts, collect other members’ credentials, bypass access restrictions, scrape personal information without authorization or disrupt our services. Tell us promptly about suspected compromise. We may reserve or change a handle to address impersonation, legal rights or platform safety; registering a handle does not give you a property right in it.

Passwords are optional. If you create one, use a unique password and keep it secret. Google and email-code sign-in remain available. Password setup and changes require verified email proof or your current password. Reset links expire, work once and sign out existing sessions when used. Never share a password, code or reset link with another person.

Sessions and conduct

Hosts organize discussions and manage speaking permissions. Follow session conduct rules and respect other participants. Do not harass, threaten, discriminate, disclose another person’s private information, share unlawful sexual content, coordinate fraud or manipulate attendance, ratings, reactions or reports. You may leave a session quietly. Reporting is available under the eligibility rules displayed in the app. Account restrictions and content-safety actions are separate from scoring.

Do not post child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate material, credible threats, instructions for violence, targeted hateful abuse, illegal goods, scams, spam or content that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights. Do not use bots, purchased reactions, coordinated false reporting or multiple accounts to fabricate credibility. Session creators control speaking invitations and ending their session; that authority does not permit unlawful conduct or override platform safety controls.

Published rules and automated scoring

Kolsphere calculates standing through the applicable published, versioned rules and verified activity. The same rules apply to members in comparable roles and circumstances. Eligibility, timing, evidence, safeguards and activity restrictions form part of those rules. Scores and access are not promises of professional competence, truth, employment, earnings or any particular audience.

Individual scores are not negotiated, bought, gifted by support staff or increased through preferential treatment. Disagreement with a correctly calculated result does not entitle a member to a discretionary adjustment. You may report suspected factual errors, incorrect activity records, account compromise, abuse or technical failures. We may investigate and correct supported errors under the applicable rules; this is a consistency and integrity process, not score bargaining. Automated systems are not represented as infallible. Nothing here prevents lawful complaints, honest reviews or rights and remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

Formula releases are versioned. We do not silently change a fixed release for an individual member. A future policy version or product change will be communicated as appropriate before it applies. Access may change as eligibility, bandwidth, account status or activity changes. Points are not money, deposits, securities, transferable assets or a promise of payment. Future monetization requires separate published terms.

Activity logs and visibility

Profile activity logs show the most recent seven days of recorded score changes where available. An older entry leaving the visible log does not deduct its value from the account total. This viewing window is not a promise to erase all supporting evidence, security records or legally required records after seven days. Logs are private to their owner. Profile score visibility to accepted connections and other privacy boundaries are described in the app. Session details concern that session; overall balances remain in the profile.

Your content, sharing and live audio

You retain ownership of content you create. You must have the rights and permissions needed to post it, including permission for another person’s image, words or confidential information. You give MarkMyTech LLC a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display and technically format your content solely to operate, secure and provide Kolsphere and the sharing features you choose. This license does not transfer ownership, permit selling your content as a separate product or authorize using private communications for unrelated advertising.

The license ends when your content is deleted from our active systems, except for copies kept for legal obligations, resolving abuse or security incidents, necessary backups, or content others independently copied or shared. We do not promise to recall screenshots, downloaded copies, quotations or material held by other people. A watermark does not prevent copying. Public-in-product posts may reach signed-in members outside your network. Links do not bypass session or account access rules.

Live audio is transmitted to session participants through the configured audio service. The current release has no platform recording or snapshot archive. Do not secretly record others or share confidential conversations in violation of law or their rights. Any future recording feature will require separate notice and appropriate controls. Speaking and posting are your choice; other participants may still capture information outside our app.

Content safety and rights complaints

We may restrict accounts, reduce distribution, remove content or close sessions for violations, suspected manipulation, security risks or legal obligations. Safety actions are separate from mathematical score calculations. In-app reports are signals, not findings, and submitting a report does not guarantee a penalty. We may use automated checks and authorized administrative access. We do not promise to pre-screen every communication or act as an emergency service. Contact local emergency services for imminent danger.

Report safety concerns using available in-app controls or email [email protected]. For an intellectual-property complaint, identify your work or right, the exact content or link, your contact details and the basis for your claim; confirm your good-faith belief and authority to act. Do not send knowingly false complaints or another person’s sensitive information unnecessarily. We may request clarification, notify the affected member where lawful, remove material or restrict repeat violations. This contact process does not replace any statutory notice or counter-notice rights.

Beta availability and account closure

The beta may contain errors or interruptions. Features may be limited, paused or withdrawn, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, particular rankings or future features. We may restrict access or remove content to address abuse, security, legal requirements or violations. You may stop using Kolsphere and use the account-deletion controls. Any paid feature, if later offered, must state its own pricing, renewal, cancellation and refund terms before purchase.

You may stop using the service and request account deletion at any time. Restrictions or termination do not remove obligations that by their nature continue, including rights in content already shared, lawful record retention and applicable liability provisions. Where reasonably possible and lawful, we will provide notice of material account restrictions and a way to report an error; urgent safety, security or legal circumstances may require immediate action.

Limitations and legal rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the beta is provided as available without a guarantee of suitability for a particular purpose. These terms do not exclude liability or rights that law does not allow us to exclude, including applicable protections concerning fraud, intentional wrongdoing, gross negligence or personal injury. They do not restrict reporting to authorities or obtaining urgent legal relief.

Members’ statements, advice, qualifications and session content are their own. We do not endorse them, and scores are not professional certification. Obtain qualified advice for medical, financial or legal decisions. External links and services have their own terms. To the extent law permits, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost opportunities arising from use of the beta. No exclusion applies where law prohibits it, and nothing requires you to waive mandatory consumer remedies.

Questions, disputes and governing law

For a question or concern, contact [email protected]. Where appropriate, please give us a reasonable opportunity, normally up to 30 days, to investigate and seek an informal resolution. This request does not suspend a legal deadline or prevent urgent relief, a report to a regulator or other nonwaivable rights.

Minnesota law governs to the extent applicable law allows, without overriding mandatory consumer protections. State and federal courts with jurisdiction in Hennepin County, Minnesota are the forum unless applicable law provides otherwise. These Terms impose neither mandatory arbitration nor a class-action waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent permitted by law.

Changes, platform rights and contact

We own or license the software, design and Kolsphere branding. You may use the service as provided under these Terms, but may not imply our endorsement, resell access without permission or misuse our trademarks. These restrictions do not limit rights the law protects, including permitted interoperability, accessibility tools or fair use.

We may update these Terms or our product rules. Material changes will be communicated through the app or another appropriate channel before applying, unless an immediate change is required for legal or safety reasons. Where required, we will request a new agreement. The displayed document version and effective date identify the applicable text. Changes do not retrospectively rewrite a frozen scoring release. If you disagree, stop using the service and use account-deletion controls. Questions may be sent to MarkMyTech LLC at [email protected].
