Terms of Service

Using born.live

By using born.live, you agree to these terms. You must be legally able to enter into a contract and provide accurate information when a payment or payout provider requests it. Do not use the service for fraud, impersonation, harassment, unlawful trade, or interference with the register.

Your number and profile

A born.live number is a record and profile within this service. It is not a government identity, security, investment, cryptocurrency, or guarantee of value. Keep access to your linked email, Apple Account, or Google Account secure. You are responsible for the profile content and links you publish.

Community safety and moderation

Profiles and links must not contain spam, scams, impersonation, harassment, threats, hate, sexual exploitation, instructions for violence or illegal activity, another person's private information, or other abusive or objectionable content. You may report a profile or block another user inside the app. Blocking prevents both accounts from seeing each other's profile and connections.

We review reports and may limit visibility, remove content, suspend access, preserve evidence, or contact the relevant authorities where reasonably necessary to protect people or comply with law. Deliberately false or abusive reports may also result in account action.

Purchases and gifts

Prices and any applicable fees are shown before you confirm payment. Mobile Premium is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple on iOS or Google on Android; RevenueCat validates the purchase and maintains the Premium entitlement. Website purchases, marketplace payments, and seller payouts are processed by Stripe. BORN.LIVE does not receive your complete card or bank-account numbers from these providers.

A gift link is a one-time bearer link: anyone who receives it may redeem the number, so send it privately. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected. Mobile purchase restoration and refunds are also subject to the applicable app store's terms and processes.

BORN Credits

BORN Credits are a closed-loop utility used only for eligible features within born.live. They are not money, cryptocurrency, property, an investment, or a guarantee of value. Credits cannot be withdrawn, exchanged for cash, transferred outside born.live, or redeemed except where an eligible born.live feature expressly allows it.

A newly verified account receives 50 BORN Credits once. When you invite someone through your born.live referral link, you receive 1 BORN Credit only after that person creates and verifies a born.live account. Visits, duplicate accounts, self-referrals, automated activity, or other incomplete or abusive referrals do not qualify. We may withhold, reverse, or correct credits issued through fraud, abuse, technical error, or a breach of these terms.

Before an unlock, a wider-network preview may show the display name and profile image that a person has chosen to make public. Exploring the full wider network of someone you have met costs 1 BORN Credit and unlocks the public profile details and links in that circle. The cost and resulting balance are shown before confirmation. Each circle is charged only once for your account, and reopening it later is free. Unlocking a circle does not reveal the identity, number, profile, or links of anyone whose profile is private.

Marketplace sales and payouts

You may list an eligible number at the permitted price or receive a private offer on an owned number. An offer expires after 48 hours and does not charge the buyer. If the owner accepts, only that buyer can open payment checkout. When a buyer pays, the number is locked while the seller completes Stripe onboarding. The marketplace fee is 10% of the sale price, with a minimum fee of $5. The exact fee and seller proceeds are displayed before acceptance and during the sale. Payouts depend on successful identity checks, Stripe eligibility, charge settlement, and our fraud and refund controls.

One number is active on your profile at a time, and you may hold at most one additional paid number in your Vault. Before replacing a paid active number, you must list it on the marketplace; it then moves into the Vault and must remain listed until it sells. If that Vault slot is already occupied, you may only replace another paid active number after explicitly accepting that the active number will be surrendered without compensation and returned to the run. Free numbers may return to the run when replaced. Marketplace transfers preserve the ownership history of every number.

Listings or transactions may be paused, cancelled, or refunded if onboarding is not completed in time, payment is disputed, the listing is inaccurate, or we reasonably suspect abuse.

Provenance and transfers

Transfers and completed sales may become part of the number’s permanent activity history. Public activity can show event type, time, price, and a public owner name where that owner has chosen a public profile. Private account details are not shown.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep born.live available and accurate, but the service is provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted operation. We may change features, fees, eligibility rules, or these terms. Material changes will be communicated through the service or by email where appropriate.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, born.live is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, loss caused by another user, or loss caused by sharing access credentials or gift links. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
