Terms of use

Service and use

Starling is provided by quite awesome for local communication through trusted invitations. Share invitations, passwords and location responsibly and comply with applicable laws. The app is currently a development release. This website offers no paid subscription or purchase; any future charges will be disclosed before purchase.

Rooms and identity

Rooms are independent and do not automatically relay messages to other rooms. Names are display labels; verify identity using safety codes. Creators can revoke membership, but revocations propagate across network partitions only after reconnecting.

Joining requires an invitation or join code and member approval. Do not publicly distribute active invitations, impersonate others or use multiple rooms to harass people.

Content and conduct

You retain your rights to your content and must have permission to share it and any personal information about others.

Harassment, threats, hate, fraud, impersonation, privacy or intellectual-property violations, illegal content, and any child sexual exploitation or abuse content or conduct are prohibited. Do not bypass identity checks, revocation or other safeguards.

Use local filtering, reporting records and blocking, or leave the room. See Safety & reporting for submission instructions.

Limits

Starling is not an emergency, navigation or rescue service. Delivery, background availability, location accuracy and wireless range are not guaranteed. These depend on devices, operating systems, permission choices, radio conditions and other members being reachable.

A hotspot shutting down, moving out of range or system process termination can interrupt connectivity. Bluetooth supplements text; voice requires Wi-Fi. Background location can increase power use.

Data, ending use and contact

Leaving a room ends its connection and location sharing. Other rooms follow their own controls. You can stop using the app and clear local data at any time; content already saved by others cannot be remotely recalled.

There is no central chat server. The operator cannot inspect chats that were not submitted voluntarily or guarantee remote erasure on offline devices. The operator can investigate submitted complaints, provide guidance and release fixes, but does not claim universal bans or remote wiping.

Contact admin@voalice.com. These terms do not exclude non-waivable rights under applicable law. Actual regional availability depends on store distribution and local requirements.
