Terms of use

• ChatGO is free. Coins, items and points are earned by playing; they have no money value and can't be exchanged for money.
• One account per person, with an email address that is yours. You are at least 13.
• Your account is yours alone: keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is posted from your account.
• Your username must not be insulting or impersonate someone else.
• No cheating: no fake locations, no photos taken off a screen or found online, no extra accounts to vote or earn points.

You promise not to disturb, feed or catch cats, and to respect private property.

In practice: take pictures from the street or a public place, don't enter a garden, a yard or a building unless invited, don't chase a cat that walks away. The best photo is the one where the cat didn't notice a thing. Look after yourself and watch the traffic too: no photo is worth an accident.

ChatGO accepts no objectionable or abusive content, in photos, comments, cat names, usernames or posters. In particular, the following are forbidden:

• insults, mockery, harassment, threats, and any hateful or discriminatory words;
• any sexual, violent or cruel content, and above all any mistreatment of an animal;
• photos of people: if someone walks into the frame, don't post the photo;
• other people's personal data: names, addresses, license plates, phone numbers. The only exception is the contact you choose to show on your own lost-cat poster;
• advertising, spam, and any illegal content or content that isn't yours.

Content that breaks these rules is removed, and its author can be suspended or banned from the game, without prior warning in serious cases.

• You can report a photo, a cat or a cat sign right in the app, with the "Report" button. For any other content (a comment, a username, a poster) or a player causing trouble, write to comsojo@sideral.ch.
• We review every report and remove content that breaks these terms, within 24 hours at the latest for objectionable or abusive content.
• We can suspend or delete an account that breaks these rules or abuses them (serial reports, cheating).
• The Community votes on doubtful cases (is it the same cat? is it really a cat?); its decisions fix the catalog, but moderating abusive content stays with the team.

You keep all your rights to the photos and text you post. By posting them, you allow ChatGO, free of charge and worldwide, to store them, adapt them (crop, resize, strip metadata) and show them inside the game: on the map, the cat pages, the Community, notifications. This permission ends when you delete the photo or your account, except for content the deletion rules keep without your name (see the privacy policy).

You only post photos you took yourself.

ChatGO is provided as is. We do our best to make it work well, but we don't guarantee that it is always available or bug-free, or that what players post is accurate. The game may change, and one day stop; we will give notice in the app before it stops.

To the extent the law allows, ChatGO is not liable for damage linked to using the game. You remain responsible for what you do while playing, outside as in the app.

Write to comsojo@sideral.ch. These terms may change: the new version is published here with its date, and a major change is announced in the app.

These terms are governed by Swiss law. The place of jurisdiction is Lausanne, subject to the mandatory rules that protect consumers in their own country.
