Terms of Use
On this page
At a glance
- Don’t be a jerk. No harassment, hate, threats, illegal content, or spam. We can suspend your account if you cross the line.
- You own your content. Rostr just hosts and displays it for the people you choose to share with.
- Free with ads. Optional one-time purchase to remove ads forever. No subscription rug-pulls.
- You can leave anytime. Delete your account from inside the app. We don’t hold your data hostage.
Agreement
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a legal agreement between you and ARAMI TECH LLC, a US limited liability company (“ARAMI”, “we”, “us”), governing your use of the Rostr mobile applications, websites, and related services (collectively the “Service”).
By creating an account, signing in, or using Rostr, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use Rostr. By signing up, you represent that you meet this requirement.
Rostr is not directed at children. If we learn that we have collected data from a user under 13 (US) or 16 (EU), we will delete the account.
Your account
You sign in to Rostr using your Apple ID (iOS) or Google account (Android). You are responsible for:
- Keeping your sign-in credentials secure
- Activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us at info@arami.tech if you suspect unauthorized access
One person, one account. Don’t share, sell, or transfer your account to anyone else.
Acceptable use
You agree NOT to:
- Harass, threaten, intimidate, or stalk other users
- Post content that is illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, or that exploits minors
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone
- Send spam, unsolicited advertising, or bulk promotional messages
- Upload malware, viruses, or anything designed to damage or interfere with the Service
- Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Service except as expressly permitted
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the app, except as required by law
- Bypass rate limits, content moderation, or other technical controls
- Use Rostr for any commercial broadcasting, mass distribution, or unauthorized resale
Your content
“Your Content” means anything you post, upload, or send through Rostr: roster entries, messages, photos, voice notes, polls, comments, reactions.
You own it
You retain all rights and ownership in Your Content. We do not claim copyright in what you post.
License you grant us
To run the Service, you grant ARAMI a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, reproduce, and adapt Your Content solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and improving Rostr, and only to the extent technically necessary. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except where required for backups, abuse logs, or legal obligations.
You are responsible
You represent that you have all necessary rights to post Your Content, including any photos of other people. You are solely responsible for what you share.
Encryption
DM messages and group chat messages are end-to-end encrypted. We host ciphertext only; we cannot read or recover plaintext. Community Wall posts and Roster Group chat (legacy plaintext) are scanned for abuse before display. See the Privacy Policy for technical details.
Community Wall rules
The Community Wall is a shared, public-within-the-group surface. In addition to §4, you must not post:
- Personal information about non-members (doxxing)
- Unauthorized images of identifiable people without their consent
- Content that breaches your employer’s confidentiality obligations
- Misleading polls or shift swaps designed to defraud teammates
Posts are automatically scanned via OpenAI’s moderation tools before display. Posts that fail moderation are hidden from other users and the author is notified with a takedown reason.
Group admins may remove posts and remove members at their discretion within their own group.
Reporting and enforcement
If you encounter abusive content anywhere in Rostr (including E2EE chats), tap Report on the message. Reporting an E2EE message uploads only that one message in plaintext to our admin queue for human review within 24 hours.
We may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, take any of the following actions for violations of these Terms:
- Hide or remove content
- Suspend or terminate accounts
- Block IP addresses or devices
- Cooperate with law enforcement when legally required
Pricing & payments
Free with ads
Rostr is free to download and use. The free tier is supported by ads served via Google AdMob. You may see banner ads, native ads in the Community Wall, interstitial ads between certain flows, and optional rewarded ads to unlock premium features (e.g. a 12-hour Wages calculator unlock).
Remove Ads (one-time purchase)
You may purchase a one-time, non-consumable in-app product to remove ads from your account. The price and currency are shown in the App Store or Play Store at the time of purchase. Once purchased, the entitlement is tied to your Apple ID or Google account and applies across your devices signed in to the same store account.
Refunds
Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Apple or Google according to their respective store policies. ARAMI cannot directly refund a store-mediated purchase.
Taxes
Prices include applicable taxes where required by law and as configured in the App Store / Play Store.
Privacy
Our handling of your data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using Rostr, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.
Termination
You may stop using Rostr at any time and delete your account from Profile → Delete Account. Account deletion is soft for a 30-day grace period (so you can change your mind), then your data is hard-deleted and cascaded to any messages you authored.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the safety or integrity of the Service.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Your Content license to the extent of backups, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law) survive.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ARAMI disclaims all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against all attacks, or free of viruses. Roster scanning uses AI and may produce inaccurate results; always review before saving. Wages calculations are estimates based on the data you enter and are not financial or tax advice.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ARAMI and its officers, employees, and affiliates will NOT be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.
Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ARAMI and its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claim, demand, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party right.
Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
If you are a consumer in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection laws, those laws may grant you additional rights that this section does not override.
Apple & Google store terms
If you downloaded Rostr from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ARAMI only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple is, however, a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
If you downloaded Rostr from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be announced via an in-app banner. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
