Terms of use
Last updated: [date of publication]
About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and [legal name of operator] (“we”) for using HerThirdSpace. By creating an account you agree to them, to our privacy notice and to our community guidelines.
A beta service
HerThirdSpace is in beta. Features may change, break or be removed, and we may limit or end the beta. We’ll give notice where we reasonably can, and you can always download your data first.
Who can join
- You must be 18 or over to join. HerThirdSpace is designed for women 30+. If we have good reason to believe an account belongs to someone under 18, we will close it.
- You must give accurate account details, keep your password private, and have only one account.
- You’re responsible for activity on your account. Tell us at [support email] if you think it’s been misused.
Not medical advice
Conversations here are peer support, not professional advice. Members aren’t verified health professionals, even when they share professional experience, and nothing on HerThirdSpace is medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Always talk to a qualified professional before changing any treatment. If you or someone else is in danger, contact your local emergency services. We aren’t an emergency service.
Your content
You own what you post. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and adapt it (for example, to fit different designs) only to run HerThirdSpace. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept as safety evidence, as described in the privacy notice.
Only post what you have the right to share. Never post someone else’s private information or photos.
Community rules
You agree to follow the community guidelines. In particular, you must not:
- harass, threaten, demean or exploit anyone;
- try to find out or reveal who is behind a pseudonym, or share anything from a private room outside it;
- give instructions that could cause harm, such as telling people to stop prescribed treatment;
- sell, advertise, recruit or fundraise without our permission;
- misuse the service: scraping, automated accounts, probing security, or getting around a suspension or block.
Pseudonyms in private rooms
In private rooms you appear under a pseudonym unique to that room. This protects your privacy from other members, but it isn’t complete anonymity. What you write can still identify you, and our platform moderators can link a pseudonym to an account for safety investigations. Each lookup needs a recorded reason and is logged.
Moderation
We and our volunteer room moderators may hide or remove content, issue warnings, or suspend accounts that break these terms or the guidelines, or that put people at risk. We’ll tell you what we did and why in Profile → Safety. You can appeal within 30 days, and a platform moderator will review your appeal. In serious cases, such as credible threats, we may act immediately and may share information with authorities where the law requires.
Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Your data. We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms. Where possible, we’ll explain why and let you download your data first.
Liability
We provide HerThirdSpace “as is” during the beta. We’re not responsible for what members post or for decisions you make based on it. [Limitation of liability wording appropriate to your jurisdiction]. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be excluded.
Changes and law
We’ll give you notice in the app before material changes take effect. These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction]. Questions: [support email].
