Terms of Use

Last updated: November 6, 2026

GoFiChat is made by Inersion LLC, a limited liability company organized in Indiana, in the United States (“Inersion”, “we” or “us”). These terms are an agreement between you and Inersion LLC about using GoFiChat. By using GoFiChat you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use it.

Who can use GoFiChat

You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under the age of majority where you live, use GoFiChat with the permission of a parent or guardian. When you first open GoFiChat, it checks your age, using the age range your app store shares or by asking for the month and year you were born, and people under 13 can't continue.

Using the app

GoFiChat lets you chat and play games with people physically near you. You are responsible for what you send and for who you invite into a room. Don't use GoFiChat to harass people, break the law, or send content you don't have the right to share.

How to treat people

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. These rules apply to everyone who uses GoFiChat, whatever their age, and to everything sent in it: messages, photos, voice messages, names and room names. Don't send anything that:

• bullies, threatens or harasses someone
• promotes hate against a group of people
• is pornographic or sexual, including nude or sexual images of anyone
• encourages, promotes or gives instructions for suicide, self-harm or an eating disorder
• shows serious violence, or encourages violence, dangerous stunts or challenges, or taking harmful substances
• is illegal, such as terrorist content, scams, or offers to sell drugs or weapons

Don't share, or threaten to share, an intimate image of someone without their consent. Don't impersonate other people, and don't share someone's private information without their permission.

We remove people who break these rules from GoFiChat (see Blocking and reporting below).

Our child safety standards are part of these terms. Anything that sexualises, exploits or endangers a child is reported to the authorities.

Blocking and reporting

You can block anyone in a room by tapping their name in the people list, or by pressing and holding one of their messages, and you can do the same in a room under Your rooms. Once you block someone, you won't see their messages, reactions or game invites. If the room runs through your phone, blocking someone also removes them at once, your phone turns them away whenever a room runs through it later, and the room's keys, QR code and link change so copies they have stop letting them in. If the room doesn't run through your phone, blocking someone hides them from you, but they stay in the room and can still see what you send there. Blocking someone also tells us, with the last 10 messages your phone received from them, so we can remove them if they broke these terms. You can unblock people in Settings.

To report someone, use Report on their message or their name, in a room or under Your rooms. Your phone sends the report to us through gofichat.com, with their name, the last 10 messages your phone received from them, the one you reported when you report a message, and anything you add. Photos and voice messages don't go. If your phone has no internet, it sends the report once it has. A message you report is then hidden on your phone.

Messages go straight between phones, encrypted, and never through a server, so the only messages we see are the ones in reports and block notices. We act on every report within 24 hours, and reply to the person who sent it if they gave an email address. When someone has broken these terms, we remove them from GoFiChat: their phone can no longer open or join rooms, other phones turn them away, and messages we remove are deleted from phones as each one next has internet. We can't reach copies someone saved or screenshotted outside GoFiChat. If you think we removed you by mistake, email support@gofichat.com. We also use reports to improve the word filter and the other safety tools in GoFiChat. If someone is in danger, contact local emergency services first.

You don't need to use GoFiChat to report something. Parents, carers, and anyone shown in or affected by something sent in GoFiChat can email support@gofichat.com and tell us what happened, when and where, and any names or room names they know. If someone has shared an intimate image of you, or is threatening to, put "Intimate image" in the subject, and don't attach the image. We reply to these within 48 hours (see our safety page).

Nobody at GoFiChat sees what people send unless someone reports or blocks them, and the app doesn't send messages anywhere to be checked. The word filter only hides words on your own phone, and you can turn it off. Each phone also looks out for messages telling someone to hurt or kill themselves: the first time someone sends one in a room, their phone asks whether to send it anyway, and the phones it goes to show a line under it offering Report and Block. On an iPhone where Sensitive Content Warnings or Communication Safety is on, photos other people send are checked on the phone too, and one it flags stays blurred until you choose to see it. Nothing about these checks leaves the phone.

Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we handled a report, or think we aren't meeting our duties under the UK Online Safety Act, email support@gofichat.com with "Complaint" in the subject. Anyone can complain, whether or not they use GoFiChat. We reply within 14 days. In the UK you can also tell Ofcom, the online safety regulator.

What you send

What you send in GoFiChat stays yours. By sending it, you let the people in the room and their phones receive, show, keep and pass it along, as the app does and as our Privacy Policy describes. If it reaches us in a report or a block notice, you also let us use it to deal with the report, to improve the word filter and the other safety tools in GoFiChat, and to pass it to the authorities where the law requires. Only send what you have the right to share.

The app is ours

GoFiChat, including its code, design, games, words, sounds and pictures, belongs to Inersion LLC or to the people who license it to us, and is protected by copyright and other laws. As long as you follow these terms, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, which we can end, to use GoFiChat for your own non-commercial use on phones you own or control, as the rules of the app store you got it from allow.

Don't copy, sell, rent or change GoFiChat, try to get its source code, get around its age check or safety features, or use it to build a competing app, except where the law or an open-source license lets you. GoFiChat includes open-source software, listed in the app when you tap GoFiChat at the bottom of Settings. Each piece's own license applies to it.

Names and trademarks

GoFiChat and its logo are trademarks of Inersion LLC. GoFiChat's games are our own versions of traditional games, and aren't connected with any company that sells a game of the same kind.

Apple, iPhone, iCloud and AirDrop are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries and regions. App Store is a service mark of Apple Inc. Google Play and Android are trademarks of Google LLC. The Bluetooth® word mark is a registered trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. Wi-Fi® is a registered trademark of Wi-Fi Alliance. Other names are trademarks of their owners. GoFiChat isn't affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any of them.

Ending

You can stop using GoFiChat whenever you like by deleting it. We can stop you using it, including by removing you as described above, if you break these terms or the law, or if the law requires us to. We may change GoFiChat or stop offering it. If these terms end, the sections on what you send, the app being ours, no guarantees, liability, claims against us, disputes and the general terms still apply.

No guarantees

Wireless connections depend on your phones, their settings and your surroundings, and a message or a move can arrive late or not at all. GoFiChat isn't a replacement for emergency services. In an emergency, contact local authorities using whatever means you have.

GoFiChat is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We don't promise that GoFiChat will always work, that it will be free of errors, or that what you send will arrive or be kept. We aren't responsible for what other people send or do, in GoFiChat or because of it.

Games

GoFiChat has no gambling, no purchases and nothing of value to win. Scores in games are just for fun.

Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Inersion LLC and its members, managers, employees and contractors won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, messages, profits or goodwill, arising from or related to GoFiChat or these terms, even if we were told they were possible. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for all claims about GoFiChat or these terms is limited to US$50.

Some places don't allow these exclusions or limits, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't let us limit or exclude, and nothing in them takes away rights you have as a consumer that an agreement can't change.

If someone makes a claim against us because of you

If you break these terms or the law and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, including reasonable lawyers' fees, to the extent the law where you live allows.

Disputes

If you have a problem with GoFiChat, email support@gofichat.com first, so we can try to sort it out.

These terms, and any dispute about GoFiChat or about them, are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana and of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any such dispute will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in Indiana, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. If you're a consumer living in the UK, the EU or another country whose law gives you the right, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can also bring a claim in the courts there.

App stores

If you got GoFiChat from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If you got it from Google Play, Google Play's terms also apply. If those terms conflict with these, the store's terms apply only where they set out the store's own rights or terms the store requires every app to give you. Everything else is covered by these terms. For GoFiChat from the App Store:

• These terms are between you and Inersion LLC, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for GoFiChat or its content.
• Your license lets you use GoFiChat on Apple-branded products you own or control, as the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions allow, including by other accounts through Family Sharing.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for maintaining and supporting GoFiChat. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it.
• If GoFiChat fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you can tell Apple, and Apple will refund what you paid for it, if anything (GoFiChat is free). To the fullest extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for GoFiChat.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with claims by you or anyone else about GoFiChat or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If anyone claims that GoFiChat or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging the claim.
• You must follow the terms of the other services you use with GoFiChat, such as your phone's own and your app store's.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you.

Export and sanctions

You confirm that you aren't in a country that is under a U.S. Government embargo or that the U.S. Government has designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you aren't on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Don't use, send or export GoFiChat in breach of U.S. or other export control or sanctions laws.

General

These terms, with our Privacy Policy and child safety standards, are the whole agreement between you and us about GoFiChat. If a court finds that part of them can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce part of them at once, we can still do so later. You can't transfer these terms to anyone else. We can transfer them to a company that takes over GoFiChat, and that doesn't reduce your rights under them. GoFiChat shows these terms in your phone's language. If a translation and the English version differ, the English version applies, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

Changes

We may update these terms. When we do, we change the date at the top of these terms, in the app and on gofichat.com, and we describe changes that matter here. Changes don't apply to anything that happened before them. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the new terms. If you don't agree with them, stop using GoFiChat and delete it.

The update of November 6, 2026 named Inersion LLC as the company that makes GoFiChat, and added what you send, the app being ours, names and trademarks, ending, the limit on liability, claims against us, disputes, app stores, export and sanctions, and the general terms.
