Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

These are the rules for using RateShare. They’re written in plain language because you’re going to be rated on whether you read them, and we want you to have a fair shot.

Who can use RateShare

You must be at least 13 years old. If you’re under 13, close the tab. The takes will still be here when you’re older, and most of them will not have aged well.

Your content

You own everything you post — posts, comments, ratings, shares, all of it. By posting, you grant us a license to display, store, and distribute your content within the service, because that’s what a social app is. We don’t claim ownership and we don’t use your content outside the service.

One thing to understand clearly: everything you post is public.Every post, every comment, every rating you cast — including the -2 you dropped on your friend’s take at 1 a.m. There are no private ratings. That’s the whole premise.

Behavior

Be a decent human. Specifically, don’t:

• Harass, threaten, or intimidate people
• Post anyone’s private information (doxxing)
• Spam
• Post illegal content
• Impersonate other people or organizations

Rating someone’s take “Terrible” is fine. That’s the product. Making them afraid to open the app is not.

Enforcement

If you break these rules, we can remove your content and suspend or terminate your account. We’ll try to be fair and proportionate, but we don’t need your agreement to act. There’s one person running this, so enforcement is best-effort — report things and be patient.

Ratings are opinions

A verdict on RateShare is one user’s opinion. It is not a fact, not an endorsement, and not our view. If forty strangers rate your post “Mid,” that’s forty opinions. We are legally and philosophically neutral on whether your take was, in fact, mid.

The service itself

RateShare is provided as-is, with no warranties of any kind. It may break. Features may change or disappear. The whole thing may shut down someday. It’s a solo-founder side project; we’ll do our best, and “our best” is one person’s best.

Legal stuff

These terms are governed by the laws of Louisiana, USA. If we ever end up in a dispute, that’s where it gets resolved.

Changes

When we update these terms, we’ll announce it in-app. Continuing to use RateShare after a change means you accept the new terms.
