These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Justech Computing Private Limited ("Justech", "we", "us", or "our"), a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, with its registered office in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, governing your access to and use of the Netoo platform — including the Android mobile application (package: in.netoo.app) and the associated web interface at netoo.in (collectively, the "Platform").

By downloading, installing, accessing, browsing, registering on, or using the Platform in any manner, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

3 Eligibility

The Platform is intended exclusively for individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. By registering on the Platform and checking the age confirmation box during the registration process, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age;
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under applicable Indian law;
  • You are not barred from using the Platform under any applicable law or court order;
  • All information you provide during registration is accurate, current, and complete.

If you are registering on behalf of an organisation, community group, or other entity, you further represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and that the entity agrees to be bound by these Terms.

Minors: The Platform is not intended for use by persons below the age of 18. Justech does not knowingly permit minors to register or use the Platform. If we determine that an account is held by a minor, we reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate that account without notice.

4 Account Registration

4.1 Registration Process

To access interactive features of the Platform, you must create an account by providing a unique username and the other information requested during registration. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information and to update it as necessary to keep it accurate.

4.2 Username

Your username is your unique identifier on the Platform and is visible to other members of your Village Group. You may not use a username that impersonates another person, is offensive, or violates any applicable law. Justech reserves the right to require you to change a username that violates these requirements.

4.3 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Justech immediately at contactus@netoo.in if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. Justech is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your credentials.

4.4 Device Registration Limit

A maximum of four (4) Registered User accounts may be created from a single device. This limit is enforced to prevent abuse and mass account creation. Attempts to circumvent this limit by any technical means are a violation of these Terms and may result in account termination.

4.5 One Village Group at a Time

Each Registered User may be a member of only one Village Group at a time. When you change your active location, you are immediately moved to the new Village Group and lose access to content from your previous Village Group. Content and messages from your previous Village Group do not transfer to your new group.

4.6 Guest Mode

You may access and view community content, government information, and social feeds on the Platform without creating an account. Guest Mode does not require registration and is available to any person who selects a village or locality. Interactive features — including sending messages, posting announcements, initiating private conversations, and streaming live video — are not available in Guest Mode.

4.7 No Phone Number Verification

The mobile number you provide during registration is not verified by one-time password (OTP) or any other mechanism at this time. You are solely responsible for providing an accurate mobile number. An inaccurate number may prevent other community members from reaching you via the contacts directory.

5 Platform Access & Features

5.1 Available Features

Subject to these Terms, Justech grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform for its intended community communication purpose. The Platform currently provides the following features to Registered Users:

  • Community (Public) Posts: Broadcast messages visible to all members of your Village Group for 30 days from the date of posting. Each message may include up to one (1) image, one (1) audio file, one (1) video file and one (1) document as attachments
  • Announcements: Time-sensitive short broadcast messages visible to all Village Group members for 7 days from the date of posting. Each message may include up to one (1) image, and one (1) audio file as attachments
  • Private Messaging: One-to-one private messages with other Registered Users in the same Village Group, visible for 60 days from the date of sending. Each message may include up to one (1) image, one (1) audio file, one (1) video and one (1) document file as attachments.
  • Live Video Broadcast: Real-time video streaming to any village group member who joins to watch, limited to four (4) minutes per session.
  • Contacts Directory: A directory of Registered Users and other contacts in your Village Group, including their name, designation, and mobile number.
  • Government Information & Feeds: Curated information from government sources and social media accounts relevant to your village, gram panchayat, or district or state level.
  • Safety Controls: Ability to hide content, hide all content from a specific user, block a user, and report content or users.
  • Premium Users: Certain Registered users can be marked as Premium users on the platform. This allows the user to send public messages which are broadcast at a higher administrative level than the Village group. This is applicable only to broadcast public messages so that the premium user's message reaches a wider audience of users belonging to multiple Village Groups within the administrative hierarchy. For eg a Premium user can send a public broadcast message at a Gram Panchayat level which will be visible to all users of all Village groups within that Gram Panchayat. Further, any individual Registered user can reply privately to that message and this private conversation can continue with the premium user as a response to the original public message sent by the Premium user.

5.2 Content Visibility and Expiry

Content posted on the Platform is subject to automatic visibility expiry as described in Section 5.1 above and in our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that content will cease to be visible to other Users after the applicable period and that you are responsible for saving any content you wish to retain before expiry.

5.3 Direct Phone Calls

The contacts directory feature facilitates direct telephonic calls using the mobile number stored in a User's profile. Calls are made through your device's native dialler and are not routed through the Platform. Justech is not a party to any telephone call made through this feature and accepts no liability for any communication made via direct dial.

5.4 Platform Availability

Justech does not guarantee that the Platform will be available at all times or without interruption. We reserve the right to suspend, modify, or discontinue the Platform or any feature thereof, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, for maintenance, upgrades, or any other reason.

6 User Content & Licence

6.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership of all User Content that you create and post on the Platform. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to Justech.

6.2 Licence to Justech

By posting, uploading, or sharing User Content on the Platform, you grant Justech a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, store, display, reproduce, distribute, and transmit your User Content solely for the purposes of:

  • Operating, maintaining, and providing the Platform and its features to you and other Users;
  • Displaying your content to members of your Village Group as intended by the Platform;
  • Complying with applicable law, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities;
  • Enforcing these Terms and our Community Guidelines.

This licence does not permit Justech to use your User Content for advertising, marketing, or commercial purposes beyond operating the Platform, without your explicit separate consent.

6.3 Your Representations

By posting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

  • You own the content or have obtained all necessary rights, licences, and permissions to post it on the Platform;
  • Your content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party;
  • Your content complies with these Terms, our Community Guidelines, and all applicable Indian law;
  • You have obtained the consent of any identifiable individuals appearing in your content, including any live video broadcasts.

6.4 No Endorsement

User Content does not represent the views, opinions, or positions of Justech. We do not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for any User Content posted on the Platform. You access and rely on User Content at your own risk.

6.5 Content Expiry and Deletion

You acknowledge that User Content is subject to automatic visibility expiry as described in Section 5.1 and in our Privacy Policy. You may also delete your own content at any time before expiry. Deletion removes content from public view but does not necessarily result in immediate deletion from our servers, as described in our Privacy Policy.
