Terms of Service

Last updated 13 October 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and Katkee about your use of the Katkee apps, the website at katkee.com and the service behind them. Katkee is operated by Rahul Katakdhond, a sole proprietorship registered in India ("Katkee", "we", "us").

1. Acceptance

By creating a Katkee account, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use Katkee.

2. Eligibility: 18 and older

Katkee is only for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use Katkee.

  • When you sign up, we ask for your date of birth. We don't create an account for anyone under 18.
  • By creating an account, you confirm that the date of birth you give is your own and is true.
  • If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it.
  • If you think an account belongs to someone under 18, report it in the app (reason: May be under 18) or write to our Grievance Officer (section 12).

3. Your account

You're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity that happens under your account. Tell us right away at support@katkee.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You can make your account private (visible only to followers you approve) at any time in Settings.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos, videos, captions, comments, and messages you post ("Your Content"). By posting it, you grant Katkee a license to store, display, and transmit it as necessary to operate the product: showing your Stories to the audience you chose, delivering your messages to their recipients, and so on. We don't sell Your Content or license it to third parties for their own use.

You're responsible for Your Content. Don't post anything that:

  • violates someone else's rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity)
  • is illegal, harassing, hateful, or threatens violence or self-harm
  • is sexually explicit, or sexualizes anyone under 18
  • is harmful to children
  • impersonates another person or entity
  • is spam or deceptive, or is false information presented as fact to mislead people
  • contains malware or anything designed to harm devices, accounts or the service
  • threatens national security or public order, or incites an offence

Katkee has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Content that breaks these rules is removed, and accounts that post it can be restricted, suspended or permanently disabled. You agree to these rules when you create an account (the sign-up screen says so).

5. Content moderation and enforcement

  • Reporting: any Story, comment, message or account can be reported by any user, for a reason (spam, harassment, nudity, violence, hate speech, self-harm, impersonation, scam, may be under 18, or other).
  • Review: reports go to our moderators, who can remove the reported content or restrict, suspend or disable the account.
  • Suspension: a suspended account is immediately signed out everywhere (every active session is revoked) and can't log back in until the suspension is lifted.
  • Blocking: you can block anyone; it immediately hides your content from them and theirs from you, in both directions.
  • Appeals: if we restrict your account or remove your content, you can ask for a review in the app (Settings, then Account notices and appeals, or "Account restricted? Request a review" on the sign-in screen).

We can remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our discretion, with or without notice.

6. Direct messages

Messages are private between participants. We don't read them except as necessary to operate the service (for example, investigating a report filed against a message) or as required by law.

7. Highlights and your Archive

Stories normally expire 24 hours after posting. Adding one to a Highlight keeps it visible past that expiry, on your profile, until you remove it or delete the Highlight. Deleting a Story removes it everywhere, including from every Highlight it was ever part of, and that deletion is permanent.

8. Termination

You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile, then Settings, then Delete account. You confirm it's you first, because deletion is permanent. If you can't use the app, ask us at katkee.com/delete-account. We may suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms, operating multiple accounts to evade a suspension, or activity that risks the service or other users.

9. Disclaimers and liability

Katkee is provided "as is." To the maximum extent the law allows, we disclaim warranties of any kind, and our liability to you is limited to the amount (if any) you paid us in the past 12 months. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under laws that can't be waived.

10. Changes

We'll update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use Katkee after a change means you accept it.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India, without affecting any mandatory protection you have under the law of the country where you live.

12. Grievances

Katkee's Grievance Officer, under India's Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, is:

You can complain to the Grievance Officer about any content on Katkee, about how we handled a report or an appeal, about your account, or about a breach of these Terms or our Privacy Policy. Include a link to the content or account, or describe it, say what the problem is, and tell us how to reach you.

  • We acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 15 days of receiving it.
  • We act on a request to remove content that breaks section 4 as quickly as possible, and within 72 hours.
  • If content shows you, or someone you complain for, nude or partly nude or in a sexual act, or is a morphed or impersonating image of you, we remove it or disable access to it within 24 hours of your complaint.
  • If you're not satisfied with the Grievance Officer's decision, you can appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee set up by the Government of India, within 30 days of the decision, at gac.gov.in.
