Description of Service

Paaslo is a real-world zone discovery and communication platform. Using Paaslo you can:

• Discover and join localized public zones (colleges, corporate offices, cafes, events).
• View active connection cards present within the same physical zone.
• Send and receive direct connection signals (Strikes).
• Chat privately, send ephemeral view-once photos, and manage message histories.

Eligibility & Strict 18+ Requirement

• You must be at least 18 years of age to access or use Paaslo.
• You must submit a valid Date of Birth (DOB) and verify your account via mobile OTP.
• Falsifying your age or utilizing automated bots constitutes a material breach and will result in immediate, permanent account termination.

User Accounts & Security

• You are responsible for maintaining control over your mobile device and authenticated account.
• Accounts are verified via one-time SMS verification tokens (no passwords required).
• You are solely responsible for all activity conducted through your active account.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate community safety guidelines.

Acceptable Use Policy

You Agree To:

• Use Paaslo exclusively for lawful, respectful social networking.
• Respect the privacy, boundaries, and safety of other users.
• Use your authentic physical location without GPS spoofing or location manipulation tools.

Zones & Location Boundary

• Zone membership is temporary and session-based.
• We reserve the right to add, modify, or archive zones based on usage activity.
• Users found falsifying location coordinates will be permanently banned.

Strike Signal System

The Strike system is Paaslo's connection mechanism:

• A Strike is a mutual connection request between two profiles in an active zone.
• Accepting a Strike unlocks private, encrypted chat between users.
• Daily strike limits are enforced to prevent mass messaging and ensure quality interactions.
• Users may block or report any connection at any point with one tap.

• View-once media is temporary and is destroyed upon recipient viewing or viewer dismissal.
• You agree not to transmit imagery without consent or distribute non-consensual explicit material.
• You agree not to attempt to circumvent screen capture prevention safeguards.

• Subscriptions and renewals will be managed directly through your respective app store account settings.

UGC Moderation & Zero-Tolerance Safety (EULA)

In accordance with Apple App Store Review Guideline 1.2 and Google Play Developer Policies, Paaslo maintains an absolute zero-tolerance policy against abusive behavior, harassment, and objectionable content.

• Zero Tolerance: There is zero tolerance for objectionable content, hate speech, nudity, or abusive users. Any user violating this policy faces immediate, permanent account termination.

• 24-Hour Review & Ejection: Reported accounts and content are audited by our moderation desk and acted upon within 24 hours by removing the content and permanently ejecting the offending user.
• Direct Abuse Desk: Users can flag inappropriate activity in-app or contact our safety desk directly at support@paaslo.com.
