Last updated: September 1, 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
By downloading, installing, or using Orca (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use Orca. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and that your use of the App complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
3. Account registration
You create an account by signing in with your Google account. You agree to provide accurate and truthful information during the profile completion process, including your name, date of birth, gender, and location. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activities that occur under your account.
4. User conduct
You agree not to:
• Use the App for any illegal, harmful, or fraudulent purpose.
• Harass, abuse, threaten, or impersonate any person or entity.
• Send unsolicited or spam messages through the connection request or chat features.
• Share content that is offensive, defamatory, pornographic, or otherwise objectionable.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or its backend systems.
• Use bots, scripts, or automated tools to access or interact with the App.
• Collect or harvest personal data of other users without their consent.
5. Connection requests and messaging
Orca limits the number of connection requests you can send per day to encourage thoughtful, quality interactions. You may send one message with each connection request. Chat is unlocked only when the recipient accepts your request. You agree to use these features respectfully and not to send content that violates these Terms.
6. User-generated content
You are solely responsible for the content you post on Orca, including your profile information, bio, profile photo, and chat messages. You grant Orca a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and process your content for the purpose of operating the App. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or our community guidelines.
7. Privacy and display picture controls
Orca allows you to choose between displaying your real photo or an anonymous avatar to other users. You can also control your visibility (everyone, same gender only, or hidden). You are responsible for your visibility and display settings. Other users see your approximate distance and general location name, never your exact coordinates.
8. Safety and reporting
Orca provides block, report, and content moderation tools. You can report users or specific messages that violate these Terms. We reserve the right to suspend or ban accounts that violate these Terms, our community guidelines, or applicable law. Banned users may be prevented from creating new accounts.
9. Account deletion
You can permanently delete your account at any time from Profile › Danger Zone › Delete Account. Account deletion removes your profile, interests, connections, and messages. This action is irreversible.
10. Disclaimers
The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user on the App.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Orca and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of or inability to use the App.
12. Modifications to the App and Terms
We may update or modify the App and these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes to the Terms through the App. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
