VAWILON Terms of Use
VAWILON shows people nearby and shares your location data with other users. The service is intended for people aged 18 or older, does not verify anyone’s identity, and is not a substitute for emergency services. If your life or health is at risk, contact the police or an ambulance immediately.
1. About these Terms
These Terms form an agreement between you and Stryha Artem (“we”, “the developer”) governing your access to the VAWILON app and all of its features. By installing, opening or using VAWILON you confirm that you have read, understood and fully accept these Terms. If you disagree with any provision, do not use the app and delete it. Some features may be governed by additional rules, which become part of these Terms.
2. Who may use VAWILON
Only people who are at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity may use the app. By registering, you confirm your age. We may request age verification at any time and restrict access where we have reasonable grounds to believe a user is under 18. Access is prohibited for anyone previously banned by us for violations, and for anyone barred from using such services by law or court order — including those registered for sexual offences or stalking.
3. Your account
You agree to provide accurate information about yourself and keep it up to date. One person, one account: transferring, selling, renting or sharing an account is prohibited. You are responsible for securing access to your device and account, and for all activity carried out under your account. Report any unauthorised access to us immediately.
4. What VAWILON is and is not
VAWILON is a platform for dating and mutual help between people nearby. We provide tools for discovery and communication, but we are not a party to your relationships with other users. We do not verify identity, age, background, criminal record, marital status, health or intentions, and we do not screen users. We do not guarantee that any user is who they claim to be. Match percentages, aura, ratings and any other scores are advisory indicators, not confirmation that a person is safe or trustworthy.
5. Location and privacy
VAWILON’s core feature depends on your location. By enabling location services you consent to processing your location and displaying your position to other users to the extent you configure. The app provides privacy controls: distance fog, invisibility domes, stealth mode and manual district selection. You are responsible for assessing the risk of revealing your location and for choosing suitable settings. Remember that anything you show to others may be saved, screenshotted and passed on beyond our control.
6. Your data
What data is processed, why and for how long is described in the Privacy Policy (vawilon.com/privacy), which forms an integral part of these terms. Your account, profile, posts, messages and approximate location are stored on the server; some settings and content are kept only locally on your device.
7. Your content
You retain the rights to the text, photos and other material you post. By posting content you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, reproduce and display it to other users, solely to the extent needed to operate the service. The licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies held in backup systems and content retained to handle complaints or as required by law. You warrant that you hold the rights to what you publish and that it does not infringe third-party rights.
8. Community rules: what is prohibited
The following are prohibited on VAWILON: stalking and unwanted persistent attention; harassment, threats and incitement to hatred on any ground; sexual harassment; sexual material involving minors; human trafficking and coercion into labour or sexual services; prostitution and escort services; fraud, pyramid schemes and attempts to obtain money or payment details; sale of weapons, drugs and other prohibited goods; impersonating another person; creating fake profiles; spam, advertising and recruitment; harvesting other users’ data, scraping, automated access and circumventing technical restrictions; publishing another person’s personal data without consent; attempting to identify or locate a person against their will.
9. Stalking, violence and dangerous acts
Do not use VAWILON to monitor or locate someone against their will, prepare or coordinate violence, abduction, terrorism or violent mass action, or gather information for those purposes. Map and location features are for voluntary connections, never for tracking a person. Access may be restricted for violations. In immediate danger, contact local emergency services directly.
10. Your personal responsibility
You use VAWILON by your own decision and at your own risk, and you bear full personal responsibility for your actions in the app and for their consequences outside it. This includes: the content of your profile, messages and posts; the decision to reveal your location, contacts or other information; your choice of who to talk to; the decision to meet in person and everything that happens at such a meeting; and compliance with the laws of your country, including those on personal data, harassment and privacy. Liability for breaking the law rests with the user who breaks it. The developer is not a participant in your interactions and is not responsible for the conduct of other users.
11. Meeting offline
Meeting anyone from the app is your own decision. We strongly recommend: hold first meetings in busy public places; tell someone close to you where you are going and with whom; travel there and back independently; do not leave drinks or belongings unattended; never share your home address, identity documents, verification codes or payment details; and end contact at the first sign of discomfort. We do not supervise or monitor meetings and are not liable for harm arising from them.
12. Risk to life and health
VAWILON brings people together and shows who is nearby, but it cannot vouch for anyone you meet here and does not accompany you beyond the screen. We do not verify identity, intentions, history or state of mind, we do not choose your meeting place, and we do not control the route, the transport or the circumstances you end up in. Messaging, travelling, meeting, helping a stranger, joining an activity — you do all of it by your own decision and at your own risk, which only you can weigh. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not liable for harm to life or health, injury, death, or any other damage arising in connection with use of the app or out of meetings, journeys and actions it gave occasion to. VAWILON is not an emergency service and does not replace the police, ambulance, rescue services or any other official service. If you are in danger, contact them directly rather than through the app.
13. Protection of minors
VAWILON is intended for people aged 18 or older. Sexualised contact with minors and related material are prohibited. If you believe a child is at risk, stop interacting, use any available report control and contact local authorities directly where needed. The app is not an emergency channel.
14. Reports and blocking
Where the controls are available, you can report a profile or content and block a user. Blocking may hide that user in your version of the app, but does not itself remove material from the service. Submitting a report currently does not guarantee human review, content removal, an account restriction or a response within a set time. An operational review and appeal process has not yet been published. In danger, contact emergency services directly. You can also report a violation or appeal a restriction by writing to support@vawilon.com.
15. Virtual currency and purchases
V-Coins, diamond hearts, gifts and other virtual items are a limited, revocable licence to use them inside the app — they are not money, electronic money or property. They have no value outside VAWILON and cannot be exchanged for money, withdrawn or transferred to third parties except where an app feature expressly allows it. We may change the range, price and award rules for virtual items. Purchased items are generally non-refundable, except where a refund is mandatory under the consumer protection law of your country.
16. Disclaimer of warranties
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation, of the accuracy of distance, match or location calculations, of the availability of maps and third-party services, or of the accuracy of information posted by other users. App data stored locally on your device may be lost on reinstallation, storage clearing or failure — we do not guarantee its preservation and recommend that you do not keep critical information in the app.
17. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not liable for indirect losses, lost profit, loss of data, non-material damage, or harm caused by the actions of other users — including stalking, deception, violence and any consequences of meeting in person. The developer’s aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the amount you actually paid in the app during the twelve months preceding the event. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law — in particular for intent, gross negligence, death or personal injury, and consumer rights that cannot be limited.
18. Indemnity
You agree to compensate the developer for documented losses arising from your breach of these Terms or of the law, including reasonable legal costs in connection with third-party claims caused by your actions in the app.
19. Ending use
You may stop using the app at any time. You can delete your server account in settings (Delete account) or by writing to support@vawilon.com; what is deleted and what remains is described at vawilon.com/delete-account. Clearing device data or deleting the app erases only local data and does not delete your account on the server. Access may be restricted for breaking the rules or for safety reasons.
20. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The version and date appear at the start of this document; check the current version before continuing to use the app. If you disagree with changes, stop using the app.
21. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of the operator’s country: Ukraine. We first try to resolve any dispute by negotiation — write to support@vawilon.com. If no agreement is reached, the dispute is heard by the competent court under the applicable law. Mandatory consumer rights under the laws of your country of residence remain unaffected.
22. Contact details
Operator: Stryha Artem, Kharkiv, Ukraine. Support, reports, appeals, data and account deletion requests: support@vawilon.com. If life or health is at risk, contact your local emergency services rather than the app.
