These terms are an agreement between you and Shlok Singh, trading as FourthState ("we", "us"), who runs Adda. By creating an account you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Who can use Adda
- You must be 18 or older and able to enter a binding contract under Indian law.
- One account per person. Give accurate information about yourself and your rooms.
- Keep access to your email safe; you're responsible for activity on your account.
2. What Adda is (and isn't)
Adda helps people discover potential flatmates and rooms and talk to each other. We are not a broker, landlord or agent, and we are not a party to any rental, sharing or deposit arrangement you make. We don't verify every person or listing, and compatibility scores are a guide based on answers people give, not a guarantee.
3. Stay safe
- Never pay a token amount, deposit or rent before visiting the flat and meeting the people you'll live with.
- Meet in public first, tell a friend where you're going, and check documents yourself.
- Use Block and Report in the app if anyone makes you uncomfortable.
4. Rules
You agree not to:
- Pretend to be someone else, post fake photos or listings, or list a room you have no right to offer.
- Act as a broker while pretending to be an owner or tenant, or charge brokerage without clearly saying so.
- Ask for money upfront, run scams, or collect other users' data.
- Harass, threaten, discriminate against or abuse anyone, or send sexual or hateful content.
- Use Adda for anything illegal, spam people, or try to break, scrape or overload the service.
We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or delete accounts that break these rules or put others at risk, with or without notice.
5. Your content
You own the photos, text and listings you post. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display and process them only to operate and improve Adda. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account (apart from backups and safety reports, as described in the Privacy Policy). Only post content you have the right to share.
6. Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time in the app (Me → Delete account) or as described here.
7. Disclaimers and liability
Adda is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for what users say or do, for the accuracy of profiles or listings, or for any loss arising from arrangements between users, and our total liability to you is limited to ₹1,000. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be excluded.
8. Changes
We may update these terms. We'll change the date above and tell you in the app about important changes. Continuing to use Adda after that means you accept the new terms.
9. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra have exclusive jurisdiction.
