Terms of use
Short version: be decent, don't break things, and remember that a napkin is a way to talk, not a contract.
Effective 1 October 2026
What Napkin is
Napkin (napkin.deal and the Napkin Android app) lets two people write something down and open it at the same moment. It is run by Cindy Kate, an independent developer in the European Union. Contact: napkin.deal.official@gmail.com. By using Napkin you accept these terms.
Price
Napkin is free during launch. If paid features arrive later, the price and what you get will be shown before you buy, and nothing is ever charged without your own action. Answering a napkin will always be free.
Using Napkin
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- Use Napkin lawfully. Don't use it to threaten, harass or deceive anyone, and don't put illegal content in a napkin.
- Don't try to break, overload or get around Napkin, for example by creating napkins in bulk or trying to open napkins that aren't yours.
Your napkins
- What you write is yours, and you are responsible for it and for whom you send the link to. We can't read napkins, because they are encrypted on your device.
- A napkin is not a binding agreement by itself. Whatever you agree after the reveal is between you and the other side.
- Napkins are deleted from the server 24 hours after they are created. Opened napkins you keep live only on your device. Export them if you want a copy.
Reporting illegal content or abuse
Write to napkin.deal.official@gmail.com with the full napkin link and what is wrong. Because napkins are encrypted, we can only see what you show us. When a report is justified, we delete that napkin and tell you. This address is also our point of contact for authorities under the EU Digital Services Act. You can write to us in English.
Availability and liability
- Napkin is provided as it is. We work to keep it running, but we can change it, pause it or stop it.
- As far as the law allows, we are not liable for the outcome of your negotiations or for napkins that expire or are lost with a device.
- Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and law
If these terms change, the new version appears here with a new date. These terms are governed by Polish law, without taking away the protection that the law of your own country gives you as a consumer.
