By using Othersun you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.

1. You must be 18

Othersun is for adults only. You confirm you are 18 or over when you sign up. If you are not, you may not use the app, and we will delete the account if we find out.

2. What Othersun is

At your sunrise or sunset you photograph the sky, write a short note and send it as a postcard to a stranger somewhere else in the world. Someone else's comes back to you. You can say thanks, or write back once. There is no messaging, no profile, no search and no way to contact the person behind a postcard.

3. Your account

Keep your email secure: anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You are responsible for what happens on your account. One account per person.

4. What you may not send

A postcard is a photo of the sky and a kind note. You may not use Othersun to send:

You may not try to break, probe or get around the app's security, the time windows, or the checks on what is sent, and you may not automate or scrape the service.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Every postcard and written reply is checked automatically before anyone receives it, and content that breaks these rules, and the accounts behind it, are removed.

5. Reporting and blocking

You can report any postcard you receive, or any written reply to one you send. It disappears for you at once. You can also block the person behind it: you will not send to or receive from them again, and they are not told.

We review every report and act on it within 24 hours, removing content and suspending or ending accounts as appropriate. Reporting someone does not tell them you did, and does not tell you who they are.

If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. We are not an emergency service.

6. Your postcards, and sharing them

You keep ownership of the photos and notes you send. You give us the limited permission needed to store, check, deliver and show them so the app can work.

When you send a postcard, you also let the person who receives it keep it, and share it (for example to a social media story or their photos) as the app allows, showing your photo, your note, your sign-off name and your city. You are told this the first time you send. You can't take a postcard back once it has been delivered, but deleting your account removes all of yours, everywhere.

You are responsible for what you send, and you confirm you have the right to send it.

7. Ending it

You can delete your account at any time in You → Delete account. It removes your data as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or end an account that breaks these terms, and we may do so immediately where there is a risk to someone.

8. Availability

Othersun is provided "as is". We do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that a postcard will always come back, or that one will come back at any particular time, and we may change or discontinue features.

9. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for the conduct of other users. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and the courts of Australia have exclusive jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer rights you have where you live.

11. Changes

If these terms change materially we will tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
