Terms of Use
This is an English translation. The Turkish text, Kullanım Koşulları, is the binding version; if the two differ, the Turkish text prevails.
These terms apply to your use of the Rastlio mobile app. By signing in to the app, you accept these terms. How your personal data is processed is explained separately in the Privacy Policy and KVKK Notice.
In short
- Rastlio is for people aged 18 and over.
- Zero tolerance applies to objectionable content and harassment. Accounts that break the rules can be closed without warning.
- You can report and block any person or post that makes you uncomfortable. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
- Be careful when meeting people you've met here. Rastlio does not verify users' identities.
1. Parties
Rastlio is operated by Acar Kerem Gürbaşak ("Rastlio", "we"). These terms are the agreement between you and us.
2. Who can use Rastlio
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You can have only one account, and it must represent only you.
- Someone whose account was closed for breaking the rules may not open a new account.
- The information on your profile (your name, age and photos) must be real and your own.
3. The service
- When you are "visible" on Rastlio, you see the people who are in the same circle (about 150 metres) and visible at that moment. You can send them a request; if they accept, a chat opens.
- You can share photos and text in the Feed. Posts are deleted after 24 hours.
- Rules such as the daily request allowance, how long a request lasts and the size of the circle may change as the service evolves.
- You can use Rastlio for free. Rastlio Plus is an optional paid subscription (below).
- We do not guarantee that the service will run without interruption or that there will be people around you. Location accuracy depends on your phone and where you are.
Rastlio Plus subscription
- Rastlio Plus is a monthly subscription: it gives you 15 requests a day, 1 priority request a day and one 1-hour stand out a day. Allowances reset every night at 00:00. Plus never shows anyone's location and does not change the app's privacy rules.
- The current price is shown in the app and in the store before you buy. Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) takes the payment and charges your store account.
- People who have not subscribed before may be offered a free first month. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription continues as a paid subscription.
- The subscription renews automatically every month unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged within the 24 hours before renewal.
- You manage and cancel your subscription in the store: on iPhone, Settings › your name › Subscriptions; on Android, Google Play › profile › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. If you cancel, Plus lasts until the end of that period. Deleting the app or your Rastlio account does not cancel the subscription.
- Refund requests are made to Apple or Google under their own rules.
- If the price changes, the store tells you in advance and may ask for your consent under its rules.
- When you sign in with the same store account, you can restore your subscription in Settings › Rastlio Plus › Restore purchases.
4. Your account
- You sign in with your Apple or Google account, or with your email address and password. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure; don't share your password with anyone.
- You may not let anyone else use your account, or sell or transfer it.
- You can delete your account from the app at any time: Profile › Settings › Delete account. Details: Account deletion.
5. Your content
- The photos, text and messages you share are yours. You are responsible for the content you share.
- So that we can provide the service, you give us the right to store, display, resize and transmit your content only within Rastlio. This right is free of charge, non-transferable and ends when the content is deleted.
- You may not share a photo or content belonging to someone else without the owner's permission.
6. Banned content and behaviour
Zero tolerance applies to everything below. Accounts that do or share any of it may have the content removed and be suspended without warning or permanently closed.
- Minors: any content showing or sexualising someone under 18. Such content is reported to the competent authorities.
- Sexual content: nudity, sexual content and obscenity; offers of sexual services or prostitution.
- Harassment and threats: harassment, bullying, persistent unwanted contact, threats, blackmail; following someone or trying to find out where they are.
- Hate and violence: hate speech based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other characteristic; glorifying or inciting violence; encouraging self-harm.
- Other people's information: sharing someone's address, phone number or other personal information without permission; secretly taken images.
- Impersonation: fake profiles, pretending to be someone else, using someone else's photos, misstating your age.
- Scams and spam: fraud, asking for money or gifts, advertising, mass messaging, directing people to other apps or websites.
- Illegal activity: drugs, weapons or illegal goods and services; content that infringes copyright.
- Abusing the service: using fake location (GPS), trying to narrow down someone's whereabouts through the circle, collecting data with automated tools, reverse engineering the app, trying to get around security measures, opening more than one account.
7. Reporting, blocking and enforcement
- Every profile, chat and post has "Report" and "Block" options. People you block can't see you anywhere and can't message you.
- Reports are reviewed within 24 hours at the latest. The person reported is never shown who reported them.
- A post reported by 3 different people is automatically hidden until the review is finished.
- If the rules are broken, we may remove content, suspend the account or close it permanently. A suspended account can't go visible or send requests.
- To appeal a decision, write to rastliotr@gmail.com; a person reviews the appeal.
- If there is immediate danger, call 112 first.
8. Your safety
- Rastlio does not verify users' identity, age or school; these are what users state.
- Meet someone new somewhere busy the first time, tell someone close to you, and arrange your own transport.
- Never send anyone money or share your password or personal information.
- To the extent permitted by law, users are responsible for meetings and relationships between users.
9. Intellectual property
The Rastlio name, logo, design and software belong to us. You may not copy, modify or use them in another service without permission. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
10. Changes to and ending of the service
- We may change, add or remove features to improve the service.
- We may change these terms. We announce important changes in the app. If you keep using the app after a change, you accept the new terms; if you don't accept them, you can delete your account.
- If we end the service completely, we will announce it a reasonable time in advance.
11. Liability
We try to provide the service with care, but we cannot guarantee that it will run without interruption or errors. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damage arising from users' content and behaviour, from meetings between users, or from the service being temporarily unavailable. Our liability in cases of intent and gross negligence, and in cases provided for by consumer law, is reserved.
12. App Store and Google Play
- If you downloaded the app from the App Store, Apple's Standard License Agreement also applies. These terms are between you and us; Apple is not a party to them and is not responsible for the app's maintenance, support or content.
- If you downloaded the app from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. For disputes arising from consumer transactions, consumer arbitration committees have jurisdiction within the statutory monetary limits, and consumer courts above those limits.
