Terms and Conditions

Last updated October 24, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of Fanvaiy, including fanvaiy.com, the dashboard at app.fanvaiy.com, the sites published with Fanvaiy, the Fanvaiy mobile app and our APIs (together, the "Platform"). By creating an account or using the Platform you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

1. Who we are

Fanvaiy is provided by two companies.

• Kintiq, LLC, registered in Delaware, United States, operates the Platform. It is the company you contract with for your account and your Fanvaiy subscription, and it collects reader payments made by card through Dodo Payments.
• Kintiq Pvt Ltd, registered in the Maldives (company number C19482024), collects reader payments made in Maldivian Rufiyaa through Bank of Maldives, and makes all payouts of publisher earnings.

In these Terms, "Kintiq", "we", "us" and "our" mean either company, as the context requires. Both companies' details are at the end of this page.

2. Who these Terms cover

• A publisher is anyone who creates or runs a site on Fanvaiy, and everyone they invite to work on it (admins, editors and writers). When you act for an organisation, you confirm you may bind it to these Terms.
• A reader is anyone who visits a site published with Fanvaiy, including readers who create a reader account, comment, vote in a poll, subscribe to a newsletter or buy an article.
• Content means everything a publisher puts on the Platform, including articles, images, videos, galleries, polls, policies, advertising and themes.

3. Accounts

Keep your account details accurate and your login private. You are responsible for everything done through your account and through the accounts of the people you invite to your site. Tell us at once if you believe your account has been misused. You must be at least 13 to use the Platform and at least 18, or have a parent's or guardian's permission, to make a payment.

4. Publishers are responsible for what they publish

Fanvaiy is a publishing tool and hosting service. Each publisher alone is responsible for the content on their site, including its accuracy, its legality and any harm it causes. Fanvaiy does not write, edit, review, approve or endorse publishers' content before it is published, and content on a publisher's site does not represent the views of Kintiq.

As a publisher you confirm that

• you own your content or have every right and permission needed to publish it, including for photos, video, music, quotes and anything written by others
• your content complies with the laws that apply to you and your readers, including laws on defamation, privacy, copyright, elections, advertising, consumer protection and media
• you are responsible for the comments and other reader contributions you allow on your site and for moderating them
• you are responsible for the advertising you place on your site, including image ads, HTML5 ad code and sponsor messages
• you will check anything produced with the Platform's AI tools, such as drafts and article audio, before you publish it, since it can be inaccurate

You agree to indemnify and hold Kintiq harmless from claims, losses and costs, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your content, your site or your breach of these Terms.

We may, without being obliged to, remove or restrict content, suspend a site or close an account when we receive a credible complaint, are required to by law, or reasonably believe the content breaks these Terms or puts others at risk. To report content on any site published with Fanvaiy, email [email protected] with the link and the reason.

5. Your content stays yours

Publishers keep full ownership of their content. You give Kintiq a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, format, translate into audio, display and deliver your content only as needed to run the Platform for you, for example to show your site, make images smaller, send your newsletters or post to the social accounts you connect. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups, which are overwritten in the normal course.

Showing your content beyond your site

Your published articles appear outside your own site only with your consent. Fanvaiy can show a site's published articles in the Fanvaiy mobile app and in the search on fanvaiy.com, each time with your site's name and a link back to the article on your site. This is controlled by the "Show Articles on the Fanvaiy App and Search" setting in your site settings. The setting is on for new sites, and by accepting these Terms you consent to it. You can turn it off at any time, and your articles leave the app and fanvaiy.com search shortly after. We will not use your content anywhere else, or in advertising for Fanvaiy, without asking you first.

6. What you may not do

• publish content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent or that infringes anyone's rights
• impersonate a person or organisation, or mislead readers about who runs your site
• send spam, run phishing or scams, or distribute malware, including through ads or uploaded themes
• try to access other accounts, sites or our systems without permission, or test their security without our written agreement
• overload or disrupt the Platform, or scrape it with automated tools beyond what our public APIs allow
• use paid articles to sell anything other than access to your own journalism or writing

7. Plans and subscriptions

Fanvaiy has a free plan and paid plans, shown on our pricing page. Paid plans are sold by Kintiq, LLC and billed in US dollars through Stripe. A subscription renews automatically each billing period until you cancel it in your dashboard. When you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for and is not renewed.

Each plan has limits, such as the number of articles and images a site may hold and the images it may upload each month. If a paid plan ends, the site moves to the free plan's limits. Nothing is deleted, but you cannot add more than the free plan allows until you are back within its limits or subscribe again. We may change prices or limits with at least 30 days' notice by email, and the change applies from your next billing period. Prices do not include taxes that may apply where you live. Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

8. Paid articles

Publishers can charge readers a one-time price to read an article. When a reader buys an article, they buy it from the publisher of that site. Kintiq collects the payment as the publisher's payment collection agent, Kintiq Pvt Ltd for payments through Bank of Maldives and Kintiq, LLC for payments by card through Dodo Payments. Once Kintiq has received the payment, the reader has paid the publisher in full.

Prices are set by the publisher in US dollars. Payments through Bank of Maldives are charged in Maldivian Rufiyaa at the rate shown before payment. A purchase gives the reader's account lasting access to that article for as long as the publisher keeps it on their site. If a publisher removes an article or closes their site, Kintiq is not responsible for restoring access.

9. Earnings and payouts for publishers

• Earnings belong to the site. For each sale the site earns 80% of the price and Kintiq keeps 20% to cover payment processing and running the Platform. Sharing earnings with writers is between the site and its writers.
• When earnings can be paid. A sale's earnings become available for payout 24 hours after the sale, so refunds and disputed payments can be handled first.
• Who pays. All payouts are made by Kintiq Pvt Ltd from its account with Bank of Maldives, whichever company collected the payment. Kintiq, LLC has appointed Kintiq Pvt Ltd to make payouts on its behalf.
• Where and in what currency. Payouts are available to sites whose earnings details are in a country we support, and are paid in that country's local currency. Earnings are recorded in US dollars and converted on the day of the payout, Maldivian Rufiyaa at the fixed rate shown in your dashboard and other currencies at the market rate on that day.
• Your details. A site admin must keep the site's earnings details, including the bank account, correct. Kintiq is not responsible for payouts sent to details you gave us. Bank charges for receiving a payout are yours.
• Holding back money. We may hold or deduct earnings for refunds, chargebacks, suspected fraud or a breach of these Terms, and we will tell you why.
• Taxes. Each publisher is responsible for declaring and paying their own taxes on earnings.

10. Advertising on your site

Publishers can place their own advertising on their sites and may join the Fanvaiy Ads network. Ads you book are your responsibility under section 4. HTML5 ad code runs in a sandbox, but you must still only use ad code from sources you trust. We may remove any ad that breaks these Terms or harms readers. We count ad views and clicks to show you statistics, as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Themes, integrations and other services

You may upload your own themes. You are responsible for their code and its licences, and we may refuse or remove a theme that breaks these Terms or our theme rules. When you connect a social account, such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn or Telegram, or a service such as Google Analytics, you allow Fanvaiy to act on that account as you set it up, and that service's own terms also apply. We are not responsible for services we do not control.

12. Availability and changes to the Platform

We work to keep the Platform available around the clock, but we do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and any uptime figure we publish is a target, not a promise. We may change, add or remove features. If we remove a feature you pay for, we will give reasonable notice.

13. Ending your account

You can stop using Fanvaiy at any time. To close your account, email [email protected], and ask us before then if you want a copy of your content. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, and where it is fair and lawful to do so we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. Earnings already available when an account closes are paid out, less any amount held under section 9. Sections 4, 5, 9, 14 and 15 continue after an account closes.

14. Warranties and liability

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, Kintiq gives no warranties beyond those in these Terms, and is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data or harm caused by publishers' content or by readers. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, or removes rights you have as a consumer where you live.

15. Governing law

Your account, your subscription and payments collected by Kintiq, LLC are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, and disputes about them are heard by the courts of Delaware. Payments collected by Kintiq Pvt Ltd and all payouts are governed by the laws of the Maldives, and disputes about them are heard by the courts of the Maldives.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For a material change we will email publishers at least 30 days before it takes effect. The date at the top of this page shows when the Terms last changed. If you keep using the Platform after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
