SPAKO

Terms of Service

Last updated: September 20, 2026 — Prepared by Michael George. This is placeholder text; have it reviewed by a lawyer before publishing.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SPAKO, including the SPAKO mobile application and www.getspako.com (together, the "Service"), provided by SPAKO ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who can use SPAKO

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to create a SPAKO account. By using the Service you confirm you meet this requirement and that you're not barred from using the Service under applicable law.

2. Your account

You're responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. Let us know right away if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. SMS / Text messaging program

Program name: SPAKO Sign-In Verification.

Description: When you enter your phone number to sign in or create a SPAKO account, we send you a one-time 6-digit verification code by text message so you can confirm the number is yours. This is the only text messaging program SPAKO operates — we do not send marketing, promotional, or recurring messages by SMS.

Message frequency: One message per sign-in attempt. You will not receive a text unless you actively request a sign-in code in the app.

Message and data rates: Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

Support: For help with text messages, contact us at hello@getspako.com. Reply HELP to any SPAKO text for support, or STOP to stop receiving sign-in codes by text (note: since these codes are required to sign in, opting out means you won't be able to sign in until you contact support for another way to verify your number).

Carriers: Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

4. Content you post

You keep ownership of the photos, videos, songs, messages, and other content you post to SPAKO ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you grant SPAKO a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely to operate and provide the Service — for example, showing your post in the feed, delivering your messages, or playing a song you've uploaded through the sound library.

You're solely responsible for your User Content. You agree not to post anything that's illegal, infringes someone else's rights, or violates our community guidelines.

5. Artist & music uploads

If you upload music to SPAKO as an artist, you confirm you own the rights to that music or have the necessary permissions to upload and distribute it through the Service, including making it available in the shared sound library for other users to attach to their own posts. Once uploaded, songs can only be removed from SPAKO by a SPAKO administrator — contact us at hello@getspako.com to request removal of a song.

6. Payments, tips, and advertising

SPAKO is free to download and use. Some features involve real payments processed through Stripe, our third-party payment processor:

  • Tips — users can tip creators. SPAKO retains a 30% platform fee; the creator receives 70%.
  • Ad revenue share — where a creator's content carries an advertisement, ad revenue attributed to that content splits 50/50 between the creator and SPAKO.
  • Advertising — anyone may submit a paid advertisement for review. Approved ads are charged for the selected plan up front. SPAKO reviews every ad before it goes live and may reject or remove ads at its discretion.

All payments are subject to Stripe's own terms in addition to these Terms.

7. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to misuse the Service — including harassment of other users, posting content that violates the law or third-party rights, attempting to disrupt or reverse engineer the Service, or using the Service for unauthorized commercial purposes.

8. Termination

You may stop using SPAKO and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service for any account that violates these Terms.

9. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SPAKO is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll post the updated Terms with a new "Last updated" date; continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
