Terms of Activation & Consumer Rights

1. General Provisions & Account Rights

You have the right to request termination of your community account, removal of your profile, or deletion of your stored messages at any time without giving reasons.

To delete your account or exercise your data rights, notify us by emailing info@public-chat.online.

Upon request, all associated messages, uploaded media, and profile data will be permanently purged in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

2. Free Community Activation (15 Referral Clicks)

Access to the Public Chat Web Messenger can be unlocked entirely free of charge via viral community recommendation:

• 15 Unique Referral Clicks Milestone: Registered members unlock 365 days of full messaging access by sharing their personal VIP link. To prevent fraud, a strict limit of 1 recorded click per unique IP address per 90 days applies across the entire platform. Reaching 15 valid visits grants immediate 365-day access completely free of charge.
• Instant Technical Fulfillment: The technical activation is triggered automatically by our database scripts the exact moment the 15th valid visitor is verified.
• Absence of Financial Charges: Because this activation method is completely free and requires no payment, no monetary refunds apply.
• Free Contacting of Active Advertisers: Registered users who have not yet reached 15 referral clicks are entitled to initiate chat and communicate with active dating classifieds advertisers completely free of charge, with no click requirements.

3. Paid Digital Services (Dating Classifieds)

In addition to the referral milestone, users may choose paid digital services on the platform:

• DATING - AD (30 DAYS) (Product ID 4079 - 10 EUR / 30 Days): Publishing an ad in the dating classifieds section for 30 days. As an included bonus, paying for this ad also activates 365 days of unrestricted full VIP chat access across the entire platform (including all standard community profiles on index.php) for the advertiser.
• Instant Digital Delivery: All payments are processed digitally (e.g. via BTC Lightning, Stripe, or payment card). Upon payment completion, the ad is immediately published and full VIP status is unlocked without delay.

4. Right of Withdrawal & Digital Content Waiver

In accordance with Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU and national consumer protection laws (§ 1837 (l) of the Czech Civil Code):

• Consumers generally possess a 14-day statutory right of withdrawal from distance service contracts without giving reasons.
• Loss of Right of Withdrawal upon Performance: By completing payment for the digital service (such as purchasing DATING - AD (30 DAYS) for 10 EUR), you explicitly request and consent to immediate commencement of the digital performance before the expiry of the 14-day withdrawal period. You acknowledge that you lose your statutory right of withdrawal once the digital service has been fully performed (i.e. immediately upon the ad being made publicly active and VIP chat being unlocked).

5. Territorial Scope & Fair Use

The Public Chat platform facilitates private communication and dating classified ads between registered users residing within 32 European states (27 EU Member States, EFTA countries: Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and the United Kingdom). Users must strictly adhere to our adult (18+) content rules.

Automated bot clicking, artificial IP proxies to fake referral milestones, spam, commercial spamming, or distributing unlawful material will result in immediate termination of the account without refund.

6. Service Termination

Users may terminate their participation at any time:

• You can cease using the messenger or delete your active ads at any time via the ad management dashboard.
• Full profile and account deletion may be requested at any time by emailing our support desk.
