Sike Terms of Service
Effective date: August 10, 2026
These Terms govern your access to and use of Sike, a community for street handmade culture, craft inspiration, creator profiles, conversations, appreciation, and related services. By creating an account, posting content, sending messages, subscribing, purchasing virtual gifts, or otherwise using Sike, you agree to these Terms.
1. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be old enough to use online community services in your region and capable of forming a binding agreement. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Do not impersonate another person, misrepresent your affiliation, or create accounts to evade enforcement.
2. Community Standards and Safety
Sike is designed for respectful handmade and lifestyle community participation. You may not post, upload, transmit, encourage, or coordinate content or behavior that includes:
- Harassment, bullying, threats, stalking, hate speech, or targeted abuse.
- Graphic violence, self-harm encouragement, sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse material, or content that endangers minors.
- Illegal goods or services, weapons trafficking, controlled substances, fraud, scams, or instructions that facilitate serious harm.
- Non-consensual intimate content, privacy violations, doxxing, or sharing another person's personal information without permission.
- Spam, deceptive engagement, platform manipulation, malware, phishing, or attempts to bypass security controls.
- Infringing, counterfeit, or unauthorized content, including misuse of another creator's photos, designs, trademarks, or copyrighted work.
We may remove content, limit distribution, suspend features, terminate accounts, preserve evidence, or report activity to law enforcement when required or appropriate.
3. User Content
You retain rights to content you create and share. You grant Sike a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, adapt for technical formatting, distribute, and make your content available for operating, improving, promoting, and protecting the service. You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to share your content.
4. Reporting, Blocking, and Moderation
Community members may report content, profiles, messages, or behavior that may violate these Terms. You may also block users to limit unwanted interaction. We review reports using a combination of automated signals and human review where appropriate. Enforcement may consider severity, context, repeat behavior, risk to users, and legal obligations.
5. Subscriptions and Virtual Gifts
Sike may offer subscriptions, virtual gifts, creator appreciation features, or other paid digital items. Paid digital features are for personal, non-commercial use in the service, do not represent stored monetary value, and cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by law or the applicable app store rules.
6. Intellectual Property
Sike, including its name, logos, interface, visual assets, software, and service design, is protected by intellectual property laws. Do not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse engineer, or create derivative services from Sike except as permitted by law. If you believe content infringes your rights, contact us with enough information to identify the content and your claimed rights.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain, protect, and delete information. By using Sike, you acknowledge that your information will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
8. Account Deletion
You may request account deletion from within the app. Deletion may remove or de-identify account information, subject to security, fraud-prevention, legal, tax, dispute-resolution, backup, and legitimate business record obligations.
9. Disclaimers and Liability
Sike is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sike and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or lost-profit damages, or for user content, community interactions, unavailable features, or unauthorized account access.
10. Changes
We may update these Terms to reflect service, legal, or safety changes. When changes are material, we will provide appropriate notice. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
