The service
TinyChat.today is an independent one-on-one video chat website. It is not Tinychat, it is not run by Paltalk, and it has no connection to tinychat.com. At its centre is a camera-to-camera call between two people, either of whom can end it at any moment. Profiles, private messages and your settings are there to support those calls.
The site changes over time. Features can appear, change shape, be limited, be paused or disappear, whether for legal, technical, safety or commercial reasons. Nobody can guarantee who is around when you tap start, whether they will say hello back, or how steady your connection will be on a given evening.
Your profile is public to other users and may be seen by people outside the site. Deleting something from it takes it off TinyChat.today, but copies that search engines or other sites already made can linger. These terms apply wherever you use us, on a phone or a computer, from the public pages to the wallet.
Who can use it
You have to be 18 or older, or older still if the law where you live says so, and it has to be legal for you to video chat with strangers there. Using TinyChat.today counts as telling us both of those are true.
You can begin as a guest. If you later give us details, when registering, verifying or paying, they need to be true and up to date. Look after your own login; activity on your account is your responsibility. In particular:
- no accounts built on invented, misleading or someone else's details;
- no selling, renting, giving away or sharing your account unless we have said yes;
- no tricks to slip past our security, our limits or our access rules.
Spot someone else using your account? Let us know at once.
Not allowed
On calls, in messages and on profiles, you may not:
- break the law, infringe someone's rights, or deceive or defraud anyone;
- show or share explicit material (the Community Guidelines spell out what that covers);
- involve minors in anything sexual, exploit anyone, threaten violence or spread hate; any of these ends an account;
- harass, stalk, threaten, blackmail or con people, send harmful links, or push someone toward dangerous or banned behaviour;
- capture or screenshot the other person's video unless they have said that is fine;
- pose as someone else, including claiming to be, or to speak for, Tinychat or any other brand;
- use bots or scrapers, take the software apart, or attack the service in any technical way;
- spam, run scams, or try to move payments off the platform.
What you share with somebody new is up to you. Anyone who goes too far can be reported and blocked from their profile page.
Coins, payments and refunds
Getting started is free. Video calls are paid for with coins, and the per-minute rate is shown on screen before any are used. Coin packs, VIP and other digital extras are sold in the wallet, each with its price and what it includes listed up front.
Payment providers handle the actual transaction, and their own rules apply to that step. Coins have no cash value and cannot be swapped back for money, except where a law says otherwise. Digital purchases that have been delivered or used are normally final; a refund is available only when the law, or the conditions of that particular item, give you one. Where we see signs of fraud, chargebacks, misuse of payment methods or purchases someone did not authorise, we may cancel the order, cap further purchases, or pause the account while we look into it.
Ownership
The software, design, words and branding of TinyChat.today are ours, or used under licence. Copying them, republishing them, scraping them or taking the code apart is not allowed.
Whatever you create lawfully still belongs to you. When you upload it, you give us permission to store it, show it, check it and handle it in whatever way running the service requires. Only upload things you have the right to share. If you think something here infringes your rights, see the copyright page.
Enforcement
When something looks like a breach of these terms, our guidelines, our payment or safety rules, or the law, we can look into it and step in. Depending on what happened, that might be a warning; removing or hiding content; restricting matching, messaging or buying; pausing or closing the account; reversing a transaction or withdrawing a benefit where that is allowed; and holding on to records we may need for a lawful request.
Once an account is closed, its personal data is removed or anonymised after a reasonable period. Some records can be kept longer where the law, security, fraud prevention or an open dispute requires. For anything about personal data the Privacy Policy wins, and these terms never take away rights you have under privacy or consumer law.
No guarantees, and limits on liability
We do our best to keep TinyChat.today up, safe and worth using. Still, as far as the law permits, we offer it as it is on any given day, with no promise that it will always be online, free of bugs, or give you any particular outcome.
As far as the law permits, we are not responsible for loss caused by other companies' services, by what other users say or do, by someone getting into your account through a login you did not protect, or by things outside our reasonable control. Where the law forbids such limits, they do not apply. Sign-in providers, payment companies and hosts we work with each have terms of their own.
Changes
These terms will be updated from time to time. If a change is significant, the review date at the top changes and we let people know on the site or by another reasonable means. Carrying on with TinyChat.today after that counts as accepting the new version.
