   Chatline ("the Service") is a messaging platform operated by SIA
   Chatline ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Service, you ("User",
   "you") agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not
   agree — do not use the Service.

2. WHO CAN USE CHATLINE

   • You must be at least 16 years old.
   • By registering, you confirm you are 16+.
   • We do not knowingly serve users under 16. If we learn a user is
     under 16, we will delete the account.

3. YOUR ACCOUNT

   • Registration requires only: a User ID (assigned automatically,
     e.g. 1001001) and a password.
   • No email. No phone number. No real name.
   • You are responsible for safeguarding your password.
   • You are responsible for all activity under your User ID.
   • We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. CHATLINE MESSAGING SERVICE

   We provide:
   • Text, voice, and video messaging between Users.
   • File and image sharing.
   • Multi-device message sync.
   • Push notifications.
   • AI assistant integration.

   The Service is provided "as is". We aim for high availability but
   do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

5. CHATL — INTERNAL ACCOUNTING UNIT

   CHATL is an internal peer-to-peer accounting unit available within
   Chatline. By using CHATL, you acknowledge:

   • Only anonymised text is transmitted — no User ID, IP address,
     or identifying metadata.
   • The AI assistant is a tool, not a human. Its responses may be
     inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. Do not rely on it for
     critical decisions.
