In addition to our rights under the Terms of Service, if we determine that you have violated this AUP, we may:

  • Terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Service, which may include loss of access to your account history, saved interactions, or previously sent messages. Because tipping is voluntary and non-refundable, account termination does not entitle you to any refund.
  • Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement or any authority, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Service.
  • Report any violations of this AUP relating to exploitation or abuse of children, including child sexual abuse material, to the National Center of Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other relevant authorities and organizations.

Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone who accesses or uses the Service. You hereby waive any claims resulting from any action taken by us during, or taken as a consequence of, investigations by either us or law enforcement or other authorities.

Users who believe their account was terminated in error may submit an appeal to support@goodchat.com. We reserve sole discretion in determining whether to reinstate accounts.

Modifications

You acknowledge that we have the right, in our sole discretion, to modify this AUP on one or more occasions, and that modified terms become effective on posting. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any modifications. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the modifications will be deemed acceptance of the modified terms.
