Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Grouper platform ("Service"), including our Telegram bot, website at grouper.space, and associated APIs, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

"Grouper," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the operators of the Grouper platform. "You" and "your" refer to any person or entity using the Service, whether as a creator or subscriber.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using Grouper, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to cryptocurrency transactions.

Grouper provides a platform that enables Telegram group and channel owners ("Creators") to offer paid subscription access to their private communities. Subscribers pay using USDT (TRC-20) on the TRON blockchain.

• A Telegram bot for creator onboarding, subscriber payments, and access management
• Automated blockchain payment detection and verification
• Automatic group access granting and revocation based on subscription status
• Creator payout processing

Your Telegram account serves as your identity on Grouper. By registering as a creator, you provide a TRC-20 wallet address for receiving payouts. You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the security of your Telegram account
• Providing an accurate and valid TRC-20 wallet address
• All activity that occurs under your account

Grouper is not responsible for any loss of funds resulting from an incorrect wallet address, compromised Telegram account, or unauthorized access to your account.

All subscription payments are made in USDT (TRC-20) on the TRON blockchain. By making a payment, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Platform fee — Grouper deducts a fee from each subscription payment before sending the remainder to the creator. Current tiers are listed on our Pricing page.
• Network fees — TRON network transaction fees (TRX gas) are separate and borne by the transacting party.
• Invoice expiry — Payment invoices are valid for 30 minutes. Payments sent after expiry may not be automatically detected.
• Irreversibility — Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Grouper cannot reverse, cancel, or refund a completed on-chain payment.

Upon successful payment verification, subscribers receive access to the specified private Telegram group or channel for the duration of the purchased plan.

• Access begins when the payment is confirmed on the blockchain
• Access ends when the subscription period expires without renewal
• Renewal reminders are sent before expiry, but renewal is not automatic

Grouper does not guarantee the quality, accuracy, or value of content provided by creators. Subscription purchases are between you and the creator.

As a creator using Grouper, you agree to:

• Provide honest and accurate descriptions of your subscription offerings
• Not use the platform to sell access to illegal content or services
• Not engage in fraud, deception, or manipulation of subscribers
• Comply with Telegram's Terms of Service in your group or channel
• Be solely responsible for the content you provide to subscribers

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for money laundering, terrorist financing, or any illegal purpose
• Attempt to manipulate, exploit, or interfere with the payment detection system
• Create fake invoices, forge transactions, or submit fraudulent payment claims
• Use automated tools to abuse rate limits or overload the Service
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service
• Impersonate another user, creator, or Grouper representative

Due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions, Grouper does not offer refunds on completed payments. Refund policies for specific subscriptions are at the sole discretion of the creator. Grouper is not a party to disputes between creators and subscribers regarding content quality or refund requests.

You acknowledge and accept the following risks:

• Cryptocurrency regulations vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change
• Blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed
• Sending funds to an incorrect address may result in permanent loss
• Network congestion or outages may delay transaction processing
• You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and private keys

Grouper does not provide financial, investment, or legal advice.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grouper and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Grouper's total liability for any claim shall not exceed the total platform fees you have paid to Grouper in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access at any time for conduct that violates these Terms. Upon termination:

• Active subscriptions continue until their expiry date
• Pending creator payouts will be processed if transactions are valid
• You will no longer be able to create new invoices, plans, or subscriptions

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If a resolution cannot be reached, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration.
