Terms of Service

Last updated September 30, 2026

1. Agreeing to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Cole Eggly, who makes and runs NightLane ("NightLane," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using NightLane at nightlane.chat or in any NightLane app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use NightLane.

2. Who can use NightLane

• You must be at least 13 years old.
• If you're under 18 (or under the age of adulthood where you live), you need a parent or guardian's permission, and they agree to these Terms for you.
• You can't use NightLane if we've banned you before, or if the law where you live doesn't allow it.

3. Your account

• Give us a real email address you can get to. Keep your password and recovery code private.
• You're responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us right away at support@nightlane.chat if you think someone else got in.
• One person per account. Don't sell, share, or transfer accounts.
• Pick a username that isn't offensive and doesn't pretend to be someone else. We may change or take back usernames that break these rules.

4. Community rules

Don't use NightLane to post, send, or do any of the following:

• Harassment or bullying, including threats, stalking, targeting someone over and over, or sharing someone's private info (like their address) without permission.
• Hate: attacking people because of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or similar traits.
• Violence: threats, encouraging violence or self-harm, or glorifying people who hurt others.
• Sexual content: no nudity, porn, or sexual messages. Anything that sexualizes a minor is never allowed. We remove it, ban the account, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the police.
• Illegal stuff: selling drugs or weapons, scams, fraud, or anything else against the law.
• Spam: ads, chain messages, or mass friend requests.
• Pretending to be someone else, including NightLane staff.
• Other people's content you don't have the right to share, like someone else's private photos, or pirated movies, music, or games.
• Messing with the app: hacking, getting into accounts or chats that aren't yours, overloading our servers, spreading malware, or scraping other people's info.

If you see something that breaks these rules, use 🚩 Report on the message, or block the person. If someone is in danger right now, contact your local emergency services first.

5. Your content

• You own what you post. Messages, photos, videos, voice messages, and other things you share stay yours.
• So NightLane can work, you give us permission to store, copy, process, and display your content to the people you send it to, and to make technical changes (like resizing photos or making link previews). This permission is only for running and improving NightLane. It ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backup copies that take a limited time to clear, or content we have to keep for safety or legal reasons.
• You promise you have the right to share what you post, and that it follows these Terms.
• Other people in a chat can see, save, or screenshot what you send. Once it's shared, we can't control what they do with it, even if it's a disappearing message.

6. How we keep NightLane safe

We don't read everyone's chats, but we do review messages that get reported and may look at other content when we need to keep people safe, fix a problem, or follow the law. We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or delete accounts that break these Terms or put others at risk. We'll try to explain when we can, but we don't always have to give a warning first. If you think we got it wrong, email support@nightlane.chat.

7. Games, levels, and secrets

XP, levels, Arcana, unlocked secrets, and game results are just for fun. They have no real-money value, can't be sold or traded, and may change or reset as the app changes.

8. Other companies' content

Some features show content from other services, like GIFs from GIPHY, anime and game info from Kitsu and RAWG, YouTube videos, and previews of links people post. That content belongs to its owners and follows their own terms. We aren't responsible for it, or for websites people link to.

9. Copyright complaints

If you think something on NightLane infringes your copyright, email support@nightlane.chat with: what the work is, where it appears in NightLane, your contact info, a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't allowed, and a statement that your notice is accurate and that you own the rights or are allowed to act for the owner. We'll remove infringing content and may close the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. NightLane's stuff

The NightLane name, look, code, artwork, and sounds belong to NightLane or the people who licensed them to us. You can use the app as intended, but don't copy, sell, or reverse-engineer it. NightLane is a fan-inspired project and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of any game, anime, or show it references.

11. Price and future paid features

NightLane is free right now. We might add optional paid features or tips later. If we do, we'll show the price and any extra terms before you pay, and you'll never be charged without choosing to.

12. Changes to NightLane

NightLane is always being worked on. We may add, change, or remove features, and we may pause or shut down the service. If we plan to shut NightLane down for good, we'll try to give you notice in the app so you can save what you want.

13. Ending your account

You can delete your account any time from Profile → Delete my account. We may suspend or end your account if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop running NightLane. Sections 5 (the parts about content already shared), 7, and 10 through 17 still apply after your account ends.

14. No warranty

NightLane is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we don't promise that it will always work, be error-free, be secure, or keep your content forever, and we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Please don't rely on NightLane for emergencies or as the only copy of anything important.

15. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, NightLane and Cole Eggly won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits, or goodwill, that come from using or not being able to use NightLane, or from other users' content or behavior. Our total liability for any claim about NightLane is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US $50. Some places don't allow some of these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

16. If something goes wrong because of you

If someone makes a claim against NightLane because of content you posted or because you broke these Terms or the law, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

17. Law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, please email support@nightlane.chat so we can try to fix it informally. If we can't, any legal case will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it somewhere else.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We'll change the date at the top, and for big changes we'll let you know in the app before they take effect. If you keep using NightLane after that, you're agreeing to the new Terms.

19. The rest of the fine print

If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce something right away, we haven't given up the right to later. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about NightLane. You can't transfer your rights under them to someone else without our permission.
