Terms of Use

1. Agreement and minimum age

By creating an account or using Pulse, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. You must be at least 13 and meet any higher minimum age or other eligibility requirements that apply in your country. Provide your real date of birth when asked. Age-aware versions require existing Android members to complete a one-time declaration before continuing. This is not proof of identity, parental consent or permission to use personalised advertising. If a recorded date is incorrect, contact support rather than trying to bypass the check. A below-minimum declaration does not automatically delete your account or purchases.

2. Your account

Keep your account credentials secure and provide accurate information. You are responsible for activity on your account. Pulse may require email confirmation or your current password for account-sensitive actions. Sign-in and recovery requests may be rate-limited to help protect the service.

3. Your content

You retain ownership of content you post. You give Pulse the limited licence needed to store, host, display and distribute Shorts, Stories, videos, photos, text posts, comments and other content through the service. In the Android app, video editing and preparation take place on your device when you choose to use Pulse Studio. Saving a Short draft is not publication: drafts remain on your device for editing or later posting. Stories normally remain visible for 24 hours and do not use the Short drafts list. Do not post content you do not have the right to share.

4. Acceptable use

Follow our Community Guidelines. Do not use Pulse to harm others, break the law, spam, impersonate people, violate intellectual-property rights, artificially manipulate engagement or interfere with the service.

5. Pulse Coins and purchases

The Store, Coin purchases and subscription checkout are currently disabled in the Android rollout. These provisions describe items and billing where offered or previously used; they do not make a disabled feature available.

Pulse Coins are optional virtual items for use within Pulse. They have no cash value, cannot be transferred, sold, exchanged or redeemed for money, and do not represent stored value or a financial account. Where offered in the Android app, purchases of Pulse Coins are processed through Google Play. Coins can be used for available in-app items, including Pulse Companions, Profile Card Themes, Extras and eligible Boost requests. Purchases are optional and support Pulse; they do not by themselves guarantee an advertising-free service.

Check the displayed price, availability, duration and usage limits before confirming. Extra upload allowances and other Extras may have their own validity periods. Upload limits and remaining allowances are shown in the app and may include purchased Extras; no fixed allowance or reset time is promised by this page. Boost requests are subject to review and do not guarantee views, followers, likes or other engagement. Cosmetic profile themes do not change account features or visibility.

Product availability, prices, refunds and cancellation rights will be governed by Google Play’s terms and applicable law. We may correct a purchase only after it has been verified; do not attempt to buy, sell or obtain Coins outside an official Pulse purchase flow.

5a. Subscriptions

Where available, Pulse Plus, Pro and Premium provide the benefits and limits shown in the app and Google Play checkout. A monthly auto-renewing subscription renews unless cancelled through Google Play. Opening the cancellation page is not proof of successful cancellation; Google Play must confirm it. Cancellation normally stops future renewal while access continues until the verified expiry of the current paid period. An eligible downgrade is scheduled for the next renewal, not an immediate removal of the remaining higher-plan days.

Premium may include one eligible standard Companion or Profile Card Theme per verified qualifying paid period, subject to the catalogue and price limits shown in the app. It is not an unlimited reward or a Coin payment. Previously granted cosmetics remain owned after normal cancellation, expiry or downgrade. Subscription blue checkmarks indicate a subscription benefit, not identity verification; they are separate from manually granted verification. Do not assume a plan removes advertisements unless the checkout explicitly lists that benefit.

During closed testing, the updated subscription checkout accepts verified Google Play test purchases only, with potentially accelerated periods. Real subscription checkout remains disabled until separately launched. Test account resets do not cancel Google Play billing. Deleting an account is not a substitute for cancelling a Google Play subscription.

5b. Advertising

Advertisements are currently disabled in the Android rollout. The following applies if advertising is enabled in a supported version or a later rollout.

AdMob-enabled Android versions may show clearly labelled native ads among Posts and video ads between Shorts. The current integration uses test advertisements, not live monetised ad units. Ads and their availability vary by version, region, age treatment and privacy choices. Refusing advertising consent does not itself block ordinary Pulse use. Advertising links may lead to third-party services; their own terms apply. Do not generate artificial ad views or clicks, or click advertisements to support Pulse.

6. Moderation and safety

You can report videos, photos, posts, comments and profiles, and can block other members. We may review reports and remove content, limit features or suspend accounts that violate these Terms or create safety risks. When a report is resolved, Pulse may notify the reporting member of the outcome.

7. Ending your account

You may stop using Pulse at any time and may permanently delete your account using the process in our Delete Account page. To protect members from unauthorised deletion, Pulse requires the account owner to sign in and confirm the current password.

8. Contact
