Terms of Service

1.About these Terms

Skylet is a social network for posts, Pages, Flicks (short videos) and conversations. It is run by Skylet. In these Terms, “Skylet”, “we” and “us” mean Skylet; “you” means the person using Skylet.

By creating an account or using Skylet on the website or in the Android app, you agree to these Terms, to our Privacy Policy and to our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, please do not use Skylet.

We may change these Terms. When we make a change that matters, we will tell you in the app or on the website before it starts, and we will remind you of these rules and of any changes at least once every year. If you keep using Skylet after a change starts, you accept it. These Terms are version 2026-10-23.

2.Who can use Skylet

You must be at least 18 years old. Under Indian law people below 18 are children, and Skylet does not have a way to obtain a parent's verifiable consent, so it is not open to them. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may remove it.

You must give us true information when you sign up, be legally able to enter into a contract, and not have been removed from Skylet before for breaking these Terms.

3.Your account

You sign in with your email address or handle and a password. Keep your password secret and do not share your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so tell us at once if you think someone else is using it.

Your handle must not impersonate another person or organisation or mislead people about who you are. We may change or reclaim a handle that does.

4.What you post

What you post is yours: your posts, comments, pictures, videos, messages and profile. You are responsible for it, and you promise you have the right to post it.

So that Skylet can work, you give us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, copy, resize and re-encode (we convert pictures to a compact format and remove their hidden metadata), display and distribute your content to the people you chose to show it to, and to show it in feeds, search, Explore, trending and hashtag pages. If you turn a post into an advertisement (“Boost”), you also allow us to show it as a promoted post. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies that other people made by resharing or quoting it while it was public, and copies that remain in backups until they expire.

Your audience setting (public, friends or only you) decides who can see a post. Reshares and quotes are always public, and only public posts can be reshared or promoted. New profile pictures and covers create a public post unless you switch that off when you change them.

5.What you must not do

You must not post, share, send or upload anything that:

• belongs to another person and you do not have the right to share it;
• is obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another person's privacy (including bodily privacy), insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, racially or ethnically objectionable, or relates to or encourages money laundering or gambling;
• is harmful to a child in any way;
• infringes a patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right;
• deceives or misleads people about where a message comes from, or knowingly and intentionally spreads information that is patently false or misleading but could reasonably be taken for fact;
• impersonates another person;
• threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign states or public order, incites an offence that can be arrested without a warrant, prevents the investigation of an offence, or insults another nation;
• contains a software virus or any code meant to interrupt, destroy or limit a computer's function; or
• breaks any law that applies.

You must also not: send spam or run networks of fake accounts; harass, threaten or doxx people; try to get around limits, blocks or bans; scrape or copy Skylet at scale without our written permission; interfere with Skylet's security or operation; buy, sell or transfer accounts; misuse Tap to connect to connect with someone who has not agreed to it; or use the developer API outside its rules. More detail and examples are in the Community Guidelines.

6.Reports, moderation and appeals

Anyone can report a post, comment, account or message from the menu next to it. Our team reviews reports. Depending on what we find we may limit how far a post travels (it stays reachable by link and on the author's profile, but leaves feeds), remove it, restrict someone's messaging, suspend an account (it cannot sign in) or ban it (it cannot sign in and its content is hidden). We record every moderator action in an internal audit log.

We tell you when we remove something of yours or act on your account and, where we can, why. If you think we got it wrong, you can appeal through our Grievance Officer; if you are still not satisfied you can also approach the Grievance Appellate Committee set up under the IT Rules. We also remove or disable access to content when a court or the Government lawfully orders us to, and we help government agencies as the law requires.

We do not read everything that is posted, and a post being on Skylet does not mean we agree with it. We are an “intermediary” under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and we are not responsible for what users post except as the law provides.

7.Messages

Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. We store them as plain text on our servers so that abuse can be reported and lawful requests can be answered. Skylet staff cannot browse conversations. They can read a message only after someone has reported it, together with up to ten earlier messages from the same conversation as the reporter saw them, and every such look is recorded in the audit log. We may also have to disclose messages when a court or authority lawfully requires it.

Please do not send anything through Skylet that you could not bear to have read in those cases. When you delete a message its text is erased; a copy kept as evidence for a report stays until it is no longer needed for safety or legal reasons. People you do not know first arrive as message requests, and you decide who may message you in Settings.

8.Tap to connect

In the Android app you can switch on Tap to connect. While it is on and Skylet is open, two phones that are knocked together back to back and that each hear the other over Bluetooth become friends (or, if either person has friend requests switched off, follow each other). Being physically together and knocking the phones is your consent to that connection, and you can undo it for a few minutes afterwards or at any time remove the friend or follow. Do not use it to connect with someone who has not agreed. You can switch it off in Settings whenever you like. How it works and what it uses is explained in the Privacy Policy.

9.Pages and the blue tick

A Page speaks for a business, group or public figure. The people who run it are responsible for what it posts. Pages are public and cannot be friended.

A tick next to a name (Verified, Official or Government) shows that we reviewed the account against our rules. It is not an endorsement of what the account says. Ticks are given on application and review. A paid tick is a monthly subscription taken through Razorpay at the price shown at checkout (taxes shown separately where they apply); it renews each month until you stop it, and stopping takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. We may remove a tick (and stop the subscription) if the account breaks these Terms or stops qualifying. Payments for a period that has begun are not refunded, except where the law requires or where we decide to as a goodwill gesture. Some ticks are granted by us without a fee and last until we remove them.

10.Advertising

Ads you see. Skylet shows promoted posts. They are always labelled “Promoted” and, for political advertising, say who paid. To choose what to show you, we use the details you gave us on purpose (state, city and year of birth, which are optional and private), the language of your posts, and interests we learn from what you do on Skylet. Advertisers never receive your personal details; they see only totals such as views, clicks and follows.

Ads you buy. You can add money to an ad wallet and promote a post. Money is added through Razorpay with GST on top, and we issue a numbered tax invoice. When you submit a campaign its whole budget is set aside from your wallet; what is not spent returns to your wallet when the campaign ends or is cancelled. A wallet top-up that has not been spent at all can be refunded in full on request, and we then issue a credit note. Campaigns are reviewed against our advertising policy (for example, no ads for gambling, tobacco or unlicensed financial services, and political ads need a declaration) and we may reject or stop any of them. You are responsible for the claims in your ads and for following the law and the advertising codes that apply in India. We do not promise any result.

11.Developer API

Skylet has a public API for developers, with keys, a monthly free allowance and prepaid credit for more. Using it means following the rules on the developer documentation as well as these Terms: do not share or resell keys, respect rate limits, and do not use the API to do what these Terms forbid. We may block a key or developer that abuses it. Prices and limits are shown in the developer portal and may change for the future.

12.Payments and taxes

Prices are in Indian rupees. Payments are processed by Razorpay; Skylet does not see or store your card or bank details. GST is added where it applies and shown on your invoice. If a payment fails or is reversed, we may undo what it paid for.

13.Our rights and copyright complaints

Skylet's name, logo, design and software belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy them or use them in a way that suggests we back you, without our written permission. If you send us ideas or feedback we may use them freely.

If you believe something on Skylet infringes your copyright, write to the Grievance Officer (see the Grievance Officer page) with: what the work is, where the content is on Skylet (a link), your name and contact details, and a statement that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner. We will review it and, where appropriate, remove the content and tell the person who posted it, who can respond.

14.Ending your use of Skylet

You can stop using Skylet at any time and delete your account from Settings or at skylet.in/delete-account. Your account disappears at once and is erased for good after 30 days; signing in again within that time cancels the deletion. What is erased and what we must keep is explained in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms or the law, if we are required to, or to protect people or Skylet. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as licences you gave for copies already shared, limits on our liability and the governing law) continue after your account ends.

15.The service, and its limits

We work hard to keep Skylet running and safe, but we provide it “as is” and “as available”. We cannot promise it will always work, be error-free or that content will never be lost. We may change or stop features, and we will give notice where we reasonably can.

To the extent the law allows, Skylet is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, for lost profits or data, or for what other users post. Our total liability for any claim connected with Skylet is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or ₹1,000 if you paid nothing. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law or any right you have as a consumer under Indian law. You agree to compensate us for loss caused by your content or by your breaking these Terms or the law, to the extent the law allows.

16.Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Please first raise any complaint with us through the Grievance Officer so we can try to solve it. Subject to your rights as a consumer, the courts in the city named in our published details have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes about these Terms. Consumers may also bring a complaint before the consumer forum that has jurisdiction where they live.

17.Contact and general terms

For anything about these Terms, use the contact details on the Grievance Officer page. Complaints and requests under the IT Rules or the data protection law go to the Grievance Officer.

These Terms and the pages they refer to are the whole agreement between you and us about Skylet. If a part is found unenforceable the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a right straight away we have not given it up. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours to a successor of the business. If a translation differs from the English text, the English text applies.
