MoonLite — Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 July 2026. These Terms pair with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy.

Product name: MoonLite ("MoonLite", "the Service"). Operator: LECTOR INTERACTİVE YAZILIM LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of Türkiye (İstanbul Trade Registry No. 1149071 · MERSİS 0608186947700001), registered address Nisbetiye Mah. Gazi Güçnar Sk. Uygur İş Merkezi No: 4 İç Kapı No: 2, Beşiktaş / İstanbul / Türkiye ("MoonLite", "we", "us", "our"). Effective date: 11 July 2026 · Version: 2026-07-11 Contact: support@lectorinteractive.com · Privacy / data protection: privacy@lectorinteractive.com

1. Agreement to these Terms

1.1 These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and MoonLite governing your access to and use of the MoonLite website, applications, APIs, and all related features (collectively, the "Service").

1.2 By creating an account, clicking to accept, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy (set out in Section 11), and any additional posted rules or feature-specific terms, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1.3 If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

2. Definitions

3. Eligibility and age

3.1 Minimum age. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. Where a higher minimum digital-consent age applies to you by law, that higher age controls — in particular 16 in the European Union (or the lower age, 13–16, set by your EU member state), the age of digital consent in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions, and any minimum required by your local law. If you are a minor under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

3.2 No knowingly under-age use. We do not knowingly permit accounts for, or knowingly collect personal data from, children below the applicable minimum age. If we learn that an under-age user has created an account, we will terminate it and delete associated data as required by law. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact privacy@lectorinteractive.com.

3.3 Capacity and lawfulness. You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms and that your use of the Service is not prohibited by any applicable law or sanctions.

Compliance note (to be built): the Service today collects only a self-attestation of age at sign-in and does not perform age assurance or a parental-consent workflow. Implement an appropriate age-verification / parental-consent mechanism before public launch in regulated markets, and consider geo-restricting jurisdictions you cannot lawfully serve (see the Privacy Policy).

4. Accounts

4.1 Sign-in. Accounts are created by signing in with a third-party identity provider (currently Google OAuth). We receive limited profile information from that provider as described in the Privacy Policy. Your use of the identity provider is also subject to that provider's terms.

4.2 Accuracy and one account. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep it current, and to maintain one account for your own use. You are responsible for all activity under your Account.

4.3 Security. You are responsible for safeguarding access to your Account and the device(s) you use. Notify us promptly at support@lectorinteractive.com of any unauthorized use. Because some features (for example, end-to-end encrypted Direct Messages) rely on keys stored only on your device, losing access to a device may permanently lose that content — we cannot recover it.

4.4 Guests. Some features work without an account. Features that require an account include (without limitation) publishing written works, the social graph (friends/party/block), Direct Messages, hosting a watch party, governance voting, custom usernames and pen names, and cross-device cloud settings sync.

4.5 Suspension / closure. We may suspend or close your Account as described in Section 17. You may stop using the Service at any time.

5. The Service

5.1 What MoonLite is. MoonLite is a free, web-based, real-time multiplayer, voxel-avatar social and creative space ("stage") in a retro-3D aesthetic. Everyone appears as a low-poly avatar on a shared 3D floor. Core features include: a shared multiplayer world (avatar movement, presence, reactions, emotes); in-app music creation (a built-in synthesizer and an arrangement / "DAW" view) with the ability to bounce your creations to audio Stems; a reading area to write and read long-form articles and books; watch parties that synchronize officially-embedded third-party video players; text chat and end-to-end encrypted Direct Messages; a social graph (friends, parties, blocking); customizable avatar skins; a community governance ("Town Hall") board; and various in-world games and rides. Features may be added, changed, or removed over time.

5.2 Beta / evolving Service. The Service is offered on an evolving basis and may contain errors or be interrupted. Availability, features, limits, and interfaces may change without notice.

5.3 How your content is stored and delivered ("the golden rule"). By design, large media (audio Stems, avatar skins, written-work bodies, and cover images) are stored locally in your browser first and, when shared, are served from our object-storage provider (Cloudflare R2). Only small synchronization events (avatar positions, reactions, control/mix state, live musical notes, chat lines, game state) pass through our realtime relay. This means that when you share or make content available to others (for example, by playing a jam near other players, publishing a written work, or setting a skin), copies of that content are distributed to and cached by other users' devices and by our storage provider. You should not share content you do not want distributed and cached.

5.4 Public vs. private content. Certain content is public by nature — for example, published written works and their front covers, usernames and pen-name bylines, governance proposals and vote tallies, and your on-screen presence and avatar in a room. Lobby and party chat are visible to others in that space. Direct Messages are private (Section 5.5). Local drafts and un-shared arrangement projects remain on your device unless you choose to share, publish, or "Go Live" with them.

5.5 End-to-end encrypted Direct Messages. Direct Messages are end-to-end encrypted using modern, hybrid (post-quantum) cryptography. We store only opaque, encrypted message envelopes for delivery and cannot read your DM contents; the decryption keys never leave your devices. We can, however, see message metadata necessary to route messages (sender, recipient, timing) and we retain undelivered encrypted envelopes for a limited period (see the Privacy Policy). Encrypted DM envelopes that remain undelivered are automatically purged after 30 days, and delivered envelopes are deleted on delivery.

5.6 Watch parties / third-party video. Watch parties synchronize the state of officially-embedded third-party video players (currently YouTube). MoonLite does not host, stream, proxy, download, or store the video — the video is delivered directly from the third party to each viewer's browser and is subject to that third party's terms and privacy practices. You are responsible for having the right to view and co-watch any content you queue, and for complying with the third party's rules (including not circumventing that player or its advertising).

6. Your Content and license to us

6.1 You keep ownership. As between you and MoonLite, you retain all rights you have in your User Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to us.

6.2 License you grant to MoonLite. To operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service, you grant MoonLite a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (to our service providers) license to host, store, cache, reproduce, re-encode/transcode (for example, to Opus audio or optimized images), transmit, distribute to other users of the Service as inherent in the feature you use, publicly perform and publicly display, and create technical derivatives of your User Content, solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service and its features as you direct (for example, delivering a Stem to listeners near you, publishing a written work you choose to publish, or rendering your avatar skin to nearby players). This license lasts as long as your User Content is stored or shared through the Service, and for a reasonable period afterward to complete removal from backups and caches. It ends when your content is deleted, except (a) to the extent it was already shared with or copied by others, and (b) for retained backups, logs, or records we must keep by law or for legitimate operational reasons.

6.3 Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or obligation to you.

6.4 Your representations and warranties. For all User Content you submit, you represent and warrant that: (a) you own it or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to submit it and to grant the license in Section 6.2; (b) it does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; (c) it complies with these Terms and all applicable laws; and (d) it does not contain malware or attempt to interfere with the Service or others' use of it.

6.5 You are responsible for your content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of sharing it. MoonLite does not endorse User Content and is not responsible for it.

6.6 No obligation to monitor; right to remove. We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may review, moderate, refuse, remove, disable, restrict, or take down any User Content, and limit or suspend features or accounts, at our discretion where we believe content or conduct violates these Terms, the law, or the rights or safety of others, or where required by a valid legal request. Where feasible and lawful, we will act on valid notices under our Copyright Policy (Section 11) and applicable content-moderation laws.

6.7 No guaranteed storage / backups. We do not guarantee that your User Content will be stored, available, or error-free. Keep your own backups of anything important (for example, by downloading your arrangement project files).

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to, and not to help or permit anyone to:

7.1 Post illegal, harmful, or infringing content, including content that infringes or misappropriates another's intellectual-property or other rights; is defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, or bullying; is sexually explicit involving minors in any form (see 7.2); promotes violence, terrorism, self-harm, or illegal activity; is deceptive, fraudulent, or a scam; discloses another person's private information without consent ("doxxing"); or is otherwise unlawful.

7.2 Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and child endangerment. Any content or conduct that sexually exploits or endangers a minor is strictly prohibited, will result in immediate account termination, and will be reported to the appropriate authorities and, where applicable, to child- safety organizations, together with associated information, as permitted or required by law.

7.3 Harass, abuse, impersonate, or harm others, including impersonating any person or entity or misrepresenting your affiliation.

7.4 Abuse the music tools to launder infringing audio — for example, by attempting to reconstruct, sample, or reproduce a commercial sound recording so as to distribute it as your own (see Section 8).

7.5 Interfere with or attack the Service, including by hacking, introducing malware, denial-of-service, probing/scanning, circumventing rate limits, storage caps, security controls, or access restrictions; scraping or harvesting data or content except as expressly permitted; or overloading or disrupting the Service or others' use of it.

7.6 Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or keys from the Service, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

7.7 Cheat, exploit, or automate in a way that gives an unfair advantage, manipulates votes, reactions, or metrics, spams, or floods the Service or other users.

7.8 Misuse third-party integrations, including circumventing an embedded video player's controls or advertising, or violating a third party's terms.

7.9 Resell, commercialize, or provide the Service to third parties except as we expressly permit.

We may enforce this Section as described in Sections 6.6 and 17.

8. Music, audio, and "made-in-app only" content

8.1 App-generated audio only. The Service is designed so that the only audio that can enter it is created inside the Service using the built-in synthesizer and arrangement tools and then "bounced" to a Stem. The Service does not provide a feature to upload arbitrary third-party audio files, and you agree not to attempt to circumvent this (for example, by calling our storage endpoints directly) to introduce audio you did not create in the Service or do not have the right to distribute.

8.2 Covers, sound-alikes, and compositions are your responsibility. Even though you create audio in-app, the underlying musical composition you play may be protected by copyright and other rights. If you recreate, cover, or closely imitate someone else's musical work, you are responsible for having any rights or licenses required (for example, mechanical or synchronization licenses), and your Section 6 representations apply to it.

8.3 Live playback to a group / public-performance rights. Playing music to other users in a shared space may, depending on jurisdiction and circumstances, implicate public-performance or communication- to-the-public rights that are separate from copying and distribution. You are responsible for your own compliance. (Operator note: whether and how such rights apply to synchronized local-copy playback in MoonLite is an open question for counsel; see docs/LEGAL.md.)

8.4 Neutral use. The Service is provided for lawful, original, and licensed creative use. Do not use it to distribute or facilitate the distribution of infringing content.

9. Written works (the reading area)

9.1 Written works you publish (articles, books, and their covers) are public and may be listed, read, reacted to, and displayed to others. You warrant you hold all rights necessary to publish them (Section 6.4). Pen-name bylines are subject to uniqueness and change-frequency limits enforced by the Service.

9.2 We may remove or restrict written works that violate these Terms, and we apply rate and size limits to publishing. We may add reporting and additional moderation tools over time.

10. Intellectual property in the Service

10.1 Our IP. The Service — including its software, code, designs, look and feel, graphics, sounds, built-in instruments and presets, text, trademarks, logos, and the "MoonLite" name — is owned by MoonLite or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, we grant you no rights in it.

10.2 Limited license to you. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose.

10.3 Trademarks. You may not use our names, logos, or trademarks without our prior written permission.

11. Copyright & DMCA Policy

11.1 Respect for copyright. MoonLite respects intellectual-property rights and expects users to do the same. We respond to valid notices of alleged infringement and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

11.2 Notice of alleged infringement (takedown). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Designated copyright agent: Legal Department, LECTOR INTERACTİVE YAZILIM LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, Nisbetiye Mah. Gazi Güçnar Sk. Uygur İş Merkezi No: 4 İç Kapı No: 2, Beşiktaş / İstanbul / Türkiye — legal@lectorinteractive.com. This address also serves as our point of contact for notice-and-action under the EU Digital Services Act.

11.3 Counter-notification. If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification with the information required by applicable law (identification of the removed material and its location, your contact information, a statement under penalty of perjury of your good-faith belief that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and, in the U.S., your consent to jurisdiction and acceptance of service). We may restore the content as permitted by law.

11.4 Repeat infringers. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

11.5 European Union / other regions. For users in the EU, we handle notices and complaints in accordance with the Digital Services Act (DSA) and, where applicable to us as a content-sharing service, the Copyright Directive (including Article 17). We handle notices under other applicable national copyright and notice-and-action laws as required.

12. Third-party services and links

12.1 The Service relies on and links to third-party services, including our cloud/storage/database provider (Cloudflare), our relay-server host (Hetzner), our identity provider (Google), embedded video (YouTube/Google), and our payments provider (Paddle). Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them. Data shared with these providers is described in the Privacy Policy.

12.2 We are not responsible for third-party websites, content, or services that the Service links to or integrates with.

12.3 Purchases — VIP membership and Supporter (Merchant of Record). The Service offers optional paid items: a VIP membership (an auto-renewing monthly subscription that unlocks the VIP perks described on the pricing page — such as hosting watch parties, private lobbies, VIP rooms, VIP name styling, and higher publishing limits) and one-time Supporter purchases (which permanently grant the "Supporter" nameplate title). All purchases are sold and processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record: Paddle is the seller of record, handles the checkout, collects applicable taxes, issues invoices, and processes refunds; Paddle's checkout buyer terms (https://www.paddle.com/legal/checkout-buyer-terms) apply to the transaction alongside these Terms.

12.4 Subscriptions auto-renew. VIP renews monthly at the then-current price until cancelled. You can cancel at any time (via the link in any Paddle receipt email, or by contacting support@lectorinteractive.com); cancellation stops future charges and your perks continue to the end of the paid period. Prices are shown at checkout; if we change the subscription price, we will give you advance notice and the change applies from your next renewal, which you can avoid by cancelling.

12.5 Refunds. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy (14-day money-back on a first VIP purchase and on Supporter purchases, and the other cases described there) and by any non-waivable statutory rights you hold (see Section 19). Perks tied to a refunded purchase are removed when the refund is issued.

12.6 Purchases are perks, not power. Paid items never grant gameplay or creative advantages (audio quality, tools, and mixing are identical for everyone), and paid items are not donations — every purchase delivers the digital perks described at the point of sale. Perks attach to your MoonLite account; if your account is terminated for serious violations of these Terms, perks end with it (see Sections 17 and 19 for what this means for paid periods and your statutory rights).

13. Privacy and data protection

Your privacy matters. Our collection and use of personal data — including the lawful bases under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), and other applicable laws, and your rights (including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection) — are described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

14. Disclaimers

14.1 "AS IS". To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, that content will be preserved or delivered, or that defects will be corrected.

14.2 User Content and interactions. We do not control and are not responsible for User Content or for the conduct of users (online or offline). You use the Service and interact with others at your own risk.

14.3 Mandatory rights preserved. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or of statutory consumer rights; to that extent, the above exclusions may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be limited by law (see Section 18).

15. Limitation of liability

15.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, MoonLite and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility.

15.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, MoonLite's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid to MoonLite for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) USD 50.

15.3 Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for a party's gross negligence or willful misconduct; and, for consumers, mandatory statutory rights and remedies remain unaffected.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless MoonLite and its officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third-party right. This Section does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own violation of law, and it does not apply to consumers to the extent prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law.

17. Suspension and termination

17.1 By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your content or close your Account at any time. Signed-in users can download all their data and permanently delete their account directly from Settings (see the Privacy Policy, Section 9); other requests can be made to privacy@lectorinteractive.com.

17.2 By us. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service or any feature, remove content, or close your Account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or the law, to protect the Service or other users, or as required by law. Where required by applicable consumer or content-moderation law, we will provide notice and, where applicable, a means to appeal.

17.3 Effect. On termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 6.2 (as limited), 6.4–6.7, 10, 14–16, 18, and 21) survive termination. We may delete your content following termination, subject to legal retention obligations and the Privacy Policy.

18. Governing law and dispute resolution

18.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

18.2 Mandatory consumer protections. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence where such rights are guaranteed to you (for example, under EU and Turkish consumer-protection law).

18.3 Venue / dispute resolution. Subject to Section 18.2, the courts and enforcement offices of İstanbul (Çağlayan), Türkiye will have jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court.

18.4 Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@lectorinteractive.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

19. Consumers — right of withdrawal (EU / Türkiye and similar)

19.1 Where you are a consumer and the law grants a right of withdrawal for digital services or content, you have that right as provided by law (for example, a 14-day withdrawal period under EU consumer law).

19.2 For paid items (VIP membership, Supporter), performance begins immediately upon purchase: your perks activate at checkout, and by purchasing you request immediate performance and acknowledge that, where the law provides it, the withdrawal right may be lost or reduced pro-rata once performance has begun. Independently of any statutory right, our Refund Policy gives you a 14-day money-back guarantee as described there — where local law gives you more, local law wins.

20. Changes to these Terms

20.1 We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date and version and, where appropriate, an in-app notice), and, where required, seek your consent.

20.2 Changes take effect on the stated effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires your affirmative consent. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Service.

21. General

21.1 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.

21.2 No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

21.3 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or to an affiliate, subject to applicable law.

21.4 Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Copyright Policy, and any feature-specific terms are the entire agreement between you and MoonLite regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject.

21.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

21.6 Notices. We may provide notices to you via the Service or the email associated with your Account. You may contact us at support@lectorinteractive.com.

21.7 Language. These Terms are provided in English, which is the controlling language. Any translation we may provide is for convenience only.
