Last Updated: May 9, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Peerware Ltd ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Tease mobile application and any related services (collectively, the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, have read and understood these Terms, and agree to be legally bound by them. If you do not agree, do not download or use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms apply to all users of the App. We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document when changes are made. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that:

You are 18 years of age or older.
You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
Your use of the App does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

We do not knowingly allow use by anyone under 18. If we discover a user is under 18, we will immediately terminate their account and delete all associated data.

3. Account Registration

Tease allows users to send "locked" messages — photos, videos, audio clips, or text — that recipients can only access by correctly answering a personal quiz set by the sender. The App includes ephemeral content ("burn timers"), a content archive ("Vault"), a daily streak system, and optional premium features.
