Terms of Service

Effective date: August 10, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of BOABA (the “Service”), a service that lets you share your screen, a video file, or your camera with other people in real time through a single link. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The Service

The Service relays your screen, a video file, or your camera to viewers who open the share link you send them, and provides a live text chat alongside it. You can use screen sharing without creating an account.

The Service is currently offered as a beta service. Features, limits, and availability may change, and functionality may be incomplete or interrupted. Some features are described as planned or upcoming and are not guaranteed to be released.

2. Accounts

An account is optional and is only needed for features such as subscriptions. Accounts are created through external single sign-on (SSO), and the Service does not collect or store your password. You are responsible for keeping access to your SSO account secure.

  • You agree to provide accurate information during profile setup and to keep it up to date.
  • You must be at least 14 years old to create an account.
  • You may delete your account at any time from the Account settings screen. Deletion removes your account and related information and cannot be undone.

3. Plans, Trials, and Fees

The Free plan is the default and applies both to visitors without an account and to signed-in users without a paid subscription. Paid plans provide expanded limits.

  • Plan limits — such as share duration, the number of concurrent viewers, and video quality — are shown on the Subscription page and may be adjusted as the Service develops.
  • During the beta period, subscribing starts a free trial and no payment is collected. The Service does not currently process payment information.
  • When a trial ends, the account returns to the Free plan automatically. You may cancel a subscription at any time, which switches you to the Free plan immediately.
  • If paid billing is introduced later, we will give notice before any charge applies to you.

4. Content You Share

You keep all rights to what you share. The Service does not record or store the content of your session — it is relayed live only. Share links are single-use and are destroyed when the session ends.

You are solely responsible for what you choose to share, and you confirm that you have the right to share it. In particular:

  • Do not share content you do not own or have permission to transmit, including copyrighted material.
  • Sharing content from another service may be restricted by that service's own terms. Complying with those terms is your responsibility, not ours.
  • Take care not to expose confidential information, credentials, or other people's personal data on the screen you share.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • share content that is illegal, infringing, sexually exploitative of minors, or that harasses, threatens, or defames others;
  • impersonate another person, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organization;
  • circumvent plan limits, authentication, or other technical restrictions of the Service;
  • interfere with the Service's operation — for example through excessive automated requests, scraping, intrusion attempts, or distributing malware;
  • resell or redistribute the Service without our written permission.

6. Chat and Host Controls

The person who starts a share (the “host”) can remove a participant from the chat. A removed participant cannot rejoin the same session. Chat participants are identified by a nickname, which may be generated automatically.

You are responsible for what you post in chat. We do not pre-moderate chat, and hosts are responsible for managing their own sessions.

7. Availability and Changes

We aim to keep the Service running reliably but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features — including plan limits — and may perform maintenance that temporarily interrupts the Service. Where a change materially reduces what you receive under a paid plan, we will give reasonable notice.

8. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time; visitors without an account simply stop using it, and account holders can delete their account. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, if your use harms the Service or other users, or if we are required to do so by law. Where circumstances allow, we will give notice before doing so.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service runs on infrastructure operated by third parties, including Google LLC (social sign-in) and Supabase Inc. (authentication, database, and file storage), and it delivers video through content delivery networks. Those providers operate under their own terms, and we are not responsible for their services. See our Privacy Policy for how information is handled.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service itself — including the BOABA name, logo, software, and design — belongs to us and is protected by applicable law. These Terms do not transfer any of those rights to you. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by law. Removing or obscuring service branding is allowed only where a plan explicitly provides for it.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that transmission will be uninterrupted, or that any particular quality level will be achieved. Because sessions are not recorded, we cannot recover the content of a completed session.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption arising from your use of the Service. For a paid plan, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim; where the Service was provided free of charge, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence.

13. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses brought by a third party arising from content you shared or from your breach of these Terms, except to the extent the claim results from our own fault.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. We will first try to resolve any dispute with you directly; if that is not possible, disputes will be brought before the competent court in the Republic of Korea. This does not limit any mandatory protection or venue available to you as a consumer under the law of your place of residence.

15. Changes to These Terms

If these Terms are added to, removed from, or modified, we will post the changes on this page, and the revised Terms take effect from the date they are posted. For changes that materially affect your rights, we will give notice in advance where reasonably possible. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.
