Terms of service

Last updated 12 November 2026

1. Who we are

Unserious (unserious.fyi) is run by Sulav Maharjan, an individual based in Nepal (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at hello@unserious.fyi.

By creating an account or using Unserious you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

2. Who can use Unserious

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• You need one account per person, with an email address you control. Keep your password to yourself.
• You're responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us if you think someone else got in.

3. What Unserious is

Unserious lets a group of friends keep memories (text and photos), a museum of things people said, polls, comments, hearts, quote cards and a private notebook. Groups are private: only members can see a group's content, and there are no public profiles, no discovery and no feed algorithm. You join a group through an invite link from someone already in it.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you post. You give us a limited licence to store, copy, resize and display it, only so we can run Unserious for you and the members of the group you posted it in. That licence ends when the content is deleted, apart from copies in short-lived backups.

Content you post in a group is visible to everyone in that group, including people who join later. Other members can save or share it outside Unserious (for example by exporting a quote card or saving a photo), and we can't take back what they've already copied. Post with that in mind.

Photo links are long and unguessable and are only given to group members, but anyone a member passes a photo link to can open it until the photo is deleted.

5. The rules

Don't use Unserious to post or do anything that:

• is illegal, or that you don't have the right to share (including other people's photos or work);
• sexualises minors in any way, or shows intimate images of anyone without their consent;
• harasses, threatens, bullies or exposes someone's private information to hurt them;
• contains malware, spam, or tries to break into accounts, groups or our systems;
• gets around plan limits, rate limits or security controls, or scrapes the service.

Quotes and photos are about real people. If something in a group is about you and you want it gone, ask the group's owner, use “request removal” on a quote, or email us.

6. Groups and owners

Whoever creates a group is its owner. Owners can rename the group, change its style, manage invite links, remove members and delete content in the group. An owner can hand ownership to another member. If an owner deletes a group, all of its content is deleted for everyone.

7. Plus and payments

Unserious is free to use. Unserious Plus is an optional paid plan for a single group: more members and photos, every style, a cover photo and every quote card template. It costs $4 a month or $36 a year (US dollars, before tax; checkout shows your local price and tax).

• Dodo Payments is the seller. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller and Merchant of Record, Dodo Payments (dodopayments.com), who also handles payments, tax, receipts, order-related questions and returns. Dodo Payments's buyer terms apply to your purchase. We never see your card details.
• Renewal. Plus renews automatically each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel any time from the group's settings; the group keeps Plus until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Refunds are covered by our refund policy.
• Going back to Free never deletes anything. Content over the Free limits stays; you just can't add more past those limits.
• Price changes apply from your next renewal, and we'll tell you before they do.
• If the person who pays leaves the group or deletes their account, Plus is cancelled at the end of the paid period. If the group is deleted, Plus is cancelled straight away.

8. Ending things

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. What happens to your content is explained in the privacy policy.

We may suspend or close an account or group that breaks these rules, puts others at risk, or that we're legally required to act on. Where it's reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix things. If we close a group with an active Plus subscription for a reason that isn't a breach of these terms, we'll refund the unused part of the period.

If we ever shut Unserious down, we'll give at least 30 days' notice by email, so you have time to save what you want, and refund any unused Plus time.

9. The service as it is

We work hard to keep Unserious running and your content safe, but it's provided “as is” and “as available”. We can't promise it will never be down, never have bugs or never lose data, so keep your own copies of anything you can't bear to lose. We may change or remove features over time.

10. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for content that other users post. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50 if you haven't paid anything. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or takes away rights you have as a consumer where you live.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we'll let you know by email or in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using Unserious after that, the new terms apply; if you don't agree, you can delete your account.

12. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Nepal. If you live somewhere that gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts, you keep that right. Before any dispute, please email us first. Most things can be sorted out with a conversation.
