Terms and Conditions for Stick

Last updated: October 15, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Stick – Near Gay Dating (गे) mobile application (the "App" or "Stick"), published on Google Play by BharatTools and operated by IndiDino Ventures Private Limited ("the Company", "We", "Our", "Us"). The App is available at Google Play.

By creating an account or using Stick you accept these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Child Safety Standards. If you do not agree, do not use Stick.

"You" and "Your" refer to the person using the App. Words in the singular include the plural and vice versa.

Eligibility: adults only (18+)

Stick is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the App. By using Stick you confirm that you are 18 or older and legally able to enter into these Terms.

We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to use Stick. If we find or reasonably suspect that an account belongs to a person under 18, we will remove the account and delete the associated personal data, except where the law requires us to preserve it. If you believe a minor is using Stick, report the profile in the App.

You may not use Stick if you have previously been removed from it, or if you are prohibited from using dating services under the laws of your country.

Child Safety

Stick has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The following are strictly prohibited anywhere in the App, including profiles, photos, messages and calls:

• Creating, uploading, sharing, requesting or storing CSAM, including drawn, computer-generated or AI-generated imagery that sexualises a minor;
• Any sexual or sexualised content, conversation or behaviour involving a person under 18;
• Grooming, sextortion, trafficking, or soliciting a minor for sexual purposes;
• Using Stick to seek or arrange sexual contact with a minor, or to share information on how to do so.

When we obtain actual knowledge of such content or behaviour, we remove it, permanently terminate the accounts involved, and, where required by law, report it to the relevant regional and national authorities and cooperate with law enforcement.

You can report a child safety concern from any profile or chat without leaving the App. Our full Child Safety Standards, including our designated Child Safety Point of Contact, are published at stickgay.com/stick-app-privacy-delete-policy/#child-safety.

Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity on your account. You must provide accurate information, use your own photos, and not impersonate anyone else. You may hold only one account at a time.

You can delete your account at any time from the App's settings. Details of what we delete and retain are in our Privacy Policy.

Community Rules

Stick is a place to meet other adults safely. You must not:

• Harass, threaten, abuse, blackmail or defame other users;
• Post or send content that is unlawful, hateful, or that violates another person's privacy, including sharing someone's photos, identity or location without their consent;
• Use Stick for commercial purposes, including advertising, escort or sex-work services, or soliciting money from other users;
• Attempt to defraud other users or the Company;
• Use bots, scripts or automated tools, or attempt to access other users' data;
• Copy, scrape, reverse-engineer or interfere with the App or its services.

We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts that breach these rules, with or without notice. Serious breaches, including anything covered under Child Safety, result in permanent termination.

Reporting and Blocking

You can report any profile, message or photo, and block any user, from within the App. Reports are reviewed by our team, and child safety reports are reviewed with priority. You can also reach us through the in-app support section or at support@indidino.com.

Your Content

You keep ownership of the photos, text and other content you post on Stick ("Content"). By posting Content you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and distribute it within the App for the purpose of operating the service, for as long as it remains on your account.

You confirm that you have the right to post your Content, that it does not infringe anyone's rights, and that it complies with these Terms. We do not review all Content before it appears, and Content reflects the views of the person who posts it, not the Company. We may remove any Content that we consider to breach these Terms.

Intellectual Property

The App, its design, logos, software and all material in it, other than user Content, belong to the Company or its licensors. You may use them only for your personal, non-commercial use of Stick. You must not republish, sell, rent, sub-license, copy or redistribute any material from the App.

Subscriptions, Billing and Refunds

Some features of Stick are offered on a paid subscription. By purchasing a subscription you authorise the applicable fee to be charged on a recurring basis until you cancel.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand. You may cancel at any time from within the app. If you cancel during a trial, your premium access ends immediately and you may start premium again at any time by taking the monthly subscription. If you cancel an active monthly subscription, future renewals stop and your access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.

A subscription payment is refundable only if the request is raised within 7 days of that payment and the app's paid features have not been used after it. Wallet and coin top-ups are not refundable under any circumstances. Approved refunds cancel the associated subscription and are credited to the original payment method within 3-5 working days.

Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are subject to that store's own refund process and terms.

Full details are set out in our Refund Policy.

Safety and Meeting in Person

We do not run background checks on users and cannot verify what users say about themselves. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, online and offline. Take sensible precautions: do not share financial information, tell someone where you are going, and meet in public places.

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties and conditions relating to the App and its use, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the App, the conduct of other users, or any interruption or unavailability of the service.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Termination

You may stop using Stick and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the service. Paid subscriptions already charged are handled as described under Subscriptions, Billing and Refunds.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version. Continued use of Stick after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka.
