Welcome to Joingy US (accessed via us-joingy.com). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms", "Agreement") form a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Joingy US ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing, browsing, or utilizing our website and the associated random video chat and text chat roulette services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms entirely.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately disconnect from the website, close your browser tab, and cease all use of our Services. Continued use of the platform constitutes your ongoing acceptance of these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines.
1. Age Requirement and Eligibility
The Joingy US platform is strictly intended for adult use only. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction of residence, to access or use the Service. By accessing our webcam roulette or text chat features, you explicitly represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
It is strictly prohibited for any minor to access the platform. Furthermore, it is a violation of these terms for an adult to allow a minor to appear on camera, even inadvertently or in the background of a video stream. We utilize automated and manual reporting systems to detect underage users. If we discover or have reasonable suspicion that you are under 18, your access will be permanently terminated without notice, and relevant authorities may be contacted if child safety is compromised.
2. Description of Service and WebRTC Technology
Joingy provides a random video chat and text chat application. Our platform allows users to pair instantly with strangers from across the United States and the globe. The service operates primarily on Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) technology.
Because WebRTC establishes a peer-to-peer connection for live video and audio streaming, you acknowledge that your IP address will be exposed to the person you are paired with. While Joingy masks your identity on the interface, the underlying technology requires direct device-to-device communication. You assume all risks associated with this peer-to-peer data transmission. We highly recommend utilizing secure networks and exercising caution regarding personal privacy.
3. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities
Our platform thrives on mutual respect and positive interactions. To maintain a functional and secure environment for all users, you agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited behaviors while using the text or video chat roulette:
- Illegal Activities: You may not use the Service for any unlawful purpose, to solicit others to perform unlawful acts, or to violate any international, federal, state, or local laws and regulations.
- Harassment and Abuse: Engaging in bullying, stalking, intimidation, racism, bigotry, hate speech, or targeted harassment of any stranger on the platform is strictly forbidden.
- Nudity and Sexual Content: Unless you are in a clearly designated "Adults Only" or "Girls Roulette (18+)" section (which explicitly permits such content), broadcasting nudity, performing sexual acts, or sending explicit text messages is a bannable offense.
- Spam and Commercial Use: You may not broadcast advertisements, sell products, share promotional links, or utilize bots, automated scripts, or screen-recording software to spam the network.
- Distribution of Personal Information: Doxing is not tolerated. You may not share the personal information, addresses, phone numbers, or social media accounts of other users without their explicit, ongoing consent.
- Circumventing Bans: Utilizing VPNs, proxy servers, or IP spoofing techniques to bypass moderation bans or geographic blocks is a violation of this agreement.
4. Content Rights and Intellectual Property
Joingy does not claim ownership of the live video, audio, or text content you transmit through the peer-to-peer network. However, by using the Service, you grant us a temporary, worldwide, royalty-free license to route, transmit, and display your stream solely for the purpose of connecting you with other users within the chat roulette interface.
All structural elements, logos, graphics, source code, text, and software associated with the Joingy US platform are the exclusive intellectual property of the Company. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the site without prior written consent.
5. Moderation, Reporting, and Enforcement
While we are not obligated to monitor all communications (as they are peer-to-peer), we actively employ moderation techniques, including AI-driven image analysis algorithms and human-reviewed user reports. Users are strongly encouraged to use the "Flag/Report" button when they encounter violations of these Terms.
Joingy reserves the absolute right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to restrict, suspend, or permanently ban any user who violates these Terms, disrupts the service, or creates potential legal liability for the Company. We are not required to provide a reason for a ban, nor are we obligated to process appeals.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Joingy Service is provided on an strictly "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We make no warranty that:
- The service will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
- The connections will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from lag.
- The strangers you encounter will behave appropriately or truthfully.
- The site will be entirely free of bugs, viruses, or other harmful components.
Because you are communicating with anonymous strangers, you understand that you may be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You use the random video chat roulette entirely at your own risk.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Joingy US, its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the platform.
This includes, but is not limited to, damages for emotional distress, loss of data, loss of privacy, damage to your device from malicious third parties, or any issues arising from the disclosure of your IP address via the WebRTC protocol. In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount of fifty US dollars ($50.00).
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Joingy US and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any third party during your chat sessions.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain affiliate links, advertisements, or hyperlinks to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Joingy. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or replace these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the platform following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those modified terms.
11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located within the United States, and you hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.
