Terms of use

Last updated: 17 October 2026

1. This agreement

These terms are between you and Ramkumar V, 98, Raja Street, Thumbal, Salem 636114, Tamil Nadu, India ("Accompany", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using Accompany, you agree to these terms, our Privacy policy and our Safety guidelines. If you don't agree, please don't use Accompany.

2. Who can use Accompany

• You must be 18 or older, and have an Indian mobile number that is yours.
• You may have one account, in your own name, with your own photo.
• You can't use Accompany if we have closed an account of yours before, or if the law doesn't allow you to.

3. Your account

• Give true details when you sign up. Your name, date of birth, gender, area, city and mobile number are locked afterwards so that nobody can quietly become someone else; to change them, contact support and we'll check the change.
• To post or join plans, you must verify with a short video that our team checks against your profile photo. Changing your photo pauses your Verified badge until a new video is approved.
• Keep your phone and sign-in codes to yourself. You are responsible for what happens in your account. If you think someone else has access, use "Log out of all devices" in Settings and tell us.

4. Plans

• A plan is for an everyday activity, such as coffee, a walk, a movie or a game, for 1 to 3 hours with 1 to 5 guests, at a place the host pins on the map. Choose public places.
• Hosts decide who joins, and can limit a plan to women, to men, or to an age range. Guests can cancel their request at any time before they are accepted.
• Turn up when you said you would. Cancelling within 30 minutes of the start, or leaving early without a safety reason, is recorded and adds an Aura of 1 (the lowest) to your average. Leaving through SOS never counts against you.
• After a plan, you give each person you met an Aura score from 1 to 10. Your Aura is the average, out of 10. Scores appear only after both people have rated, and must be honest.
• Accompany is for sharing activities. It is not a dating service, a marketplace or a place to find work or customers.

5. What is not allowed

• Fake profiles, someone else's photos, or pretending to be someone else.
• Harassment, threats, hate, discrimination, or sexual messages or behaviour.
• Asking for money, OTPs, bank details or passwords; selling things; promoting a business; or putting phone numbers or links in plans to move people off Accompany.
• Pressuring anyone to drink, to go somewhere other than the pinned place, or to stay longer than they want.
• Anything illegal, or that puts someone in danger.
• Recording or sharing other people's messages, photos or details without their permission.
• Interfering with Accompany: scraping, automated accounts, getting around blocks or limits, or trying to reach data that isn't yours.

6. Reports, re-verification and closing accounts

• You can report or block anyone. Reports go to our team, and the person is never told who reported them.
• Reports count against an account for life. After 5 reports, the person must verify again within 7 days. After 10 reports, or for serious or repeated breaches of these terms, we may close an account permanently. A closed account's mobile number and Google account can't be used to sign up again.
• We may also remove plans or content, limit features, or suspend an account while we look into something. Where it is safe to do so, we tell you why.
• If you think we made a mistake, write to accompany.support@gmail.com and we will look again.

7. SOS and your emergency contact

SOS helps you call 112, send your emergency contact a message with a live location link, or leave an activity safely. It depends on your phone, its signal and settings, and on services outside our control, so we can't promise it will always work. Always call 112 directly in an emergency. Only add someone as your emergency contact if they have agreed to it.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos, text and messages you add. You give us permission to store and show them to other members as Accompany works, only for running Accompany. This permission ends when you delete them or your account, except for content kept for safety as the Privacy policy explains. Don't add anything you don't have the right to share.

9. Our app and brand

The Accompany app, website, name, logo and characters belong to us. You may use the app for your own personal use, and may not copy, change, sell or reverse engineer it.

10. Price

Accompany is free to use today. If we add paid features later, we'll show the price and terms before you pay, and you won't be charged without agreeing.

11. Meeting people is your choice

We verify that members are real people who match their photos, and we act on reports. We do not run background checks, and we can't control or guarantee how members behave, whether a plan happens, or that the information people give is true. You decide who to meet and where; follow the Safety guidelines every time.

Accompany is provided as it is and as available. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for the conduct of members, on or off Accompany, or for indirect losses. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under Indian consumer law that cannot be excluded.

12. Ending

You can stop using Accompany and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may stop offering Accompany or part of it; if we do, we'll give you reasonable notice where we can.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When a change is important, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using Accompany after that, the new terms apply.

14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. If we can't settle a disagreement together, the courts in Salem, Tamil Nadu have jurisdiction.

15. Contact and grievances

Support: accompany.support@gmail.com. Grievance Officer: Ramkumar V, accompany.support@gmail.com. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days.
