Terms of Use
Effective date: 1 October 2026 · Last updated: 7 October 2026
In short
- The basic use of InTimePost is free; there is an optional paid Premium subscription. You must be at least 13 to use it.
- The content you send is yours; we use it only to store it, open it for your recipient and, with your permission, show it on Explore.
- The first person to open and claim a share link becomes the capsule's recipient, so only send the link to your recipient.
- Content that breaks the Community Guidelines is removed, and accounts may be restricted or closed.
- Premium renews automatically; you can cancel in the store's subscription settings at least 24 hours before the period ends (see section 6 below).
- We run the service with care, but we cannot guarantee it will be uninterrupted.
1. Who these terms are between, and accepting them
These terms are an agreement between you, as a user of the InTimePost app and the InTimePost link website (together, "InTimePost"), and Emirhan Sarıal, who runs InTimePost ("we", "us"). By creating your profile you accept these terms and the Community Guidelines. How your personal data is processed is explained in the Privacy Policy and the KVKK Information Notice.
2. Who can use InTimePost
- You must be at least 13 years old, and you must enter your real birth year when you create your account.
- If you are under 18, you must use InTimePost with the knowledge and supervision of your parent or guardian.
- Chat only opens between users who are 18 or over and follow each other. Chat messages are kept for 90 days; for words you want to keep, leave a capsule.
- If your account was closed for a serious breach of our rules, you may not create a new one.
3. Your account
- You sign in with your Google or Apple account.
- Your username is unique and must not impersonate anyone else.
- You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for what is done with it. If you think someone has used your account without permission, write to us straight away.
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings (Delete your account).
4. How capsules work
- You can add text, photos and voice to a capsule. On a free account: up to 500 characters, 1 photo and 10 seconds of voice; the opening time can be no earlier than 5 minutes and no later than 7 days from now; up to 2 people in a group send. With Premium: up to 10,000 characters, 20 photos, 10 minutes of voice, 10 years and 50 people. Some themes are Premium only. The current limits are shown in the app when you create a capsule; we may change them, and capsules you have already sent are not affected.
- The content is not shown to the recipient until the opening time.
- A share link works like a key: the person who has the link and claims it first becomes the capsule's recipient, and no one else can claim it after that. You are responsible for whom you send the link to. You can add a secret question; after 5 wrong answers the link is locked. Anyone who receives the link can see the sender's name, the opening time and the secret question before claiming it.
- You can send capsules directly, without a link, to people who follow you back.
- Repeating capsule (Premium): you can set up a capsule sent directly to repeat "Every year" or "Every month"; each time a repeat comes due, a new capsule with the same content is created. You can stop the chain any time from Sent. If your Premium ends, repeats that have not been created yet are not created (the chain pauses, it is not deleted) and you get a notification; capsules already sent are not affected.
- Before a capsule opens you can cancel it or change its date. Once it has opened, the capsule belongs to the recipient and cannot be taken back.
- Explore: you can offer to show a capsule on Explore; it appears if the recipient approves after opening it. Either of you can remove it at any time.
- Notifications are a help, not a guarantee: because of your phone's settings, your internet connection or a problem with a service provider they may be delayed or may not arrive at all. A capsule's opening does not depend on a notification; when you open the app, the capsule will be waiting for you.
5. Limits
To keep the service fair and free for everyone, we apply limits: at most 50 capsules a day, in every 30-day period 20 MB of photos and voice on the free plan and 200 MB with Premium, at most 200 follows a day and at most 20 reports a day. We may change these limits as needed.
6. Premium subscription
- Premium is an optional, paid subscription that renews automatically (monthly or yearly). It widens the capsule limits, unlocks all themes and removes ads on Explore. The price, period and currency are shown on the Premium page at the store's own price before you buy; taxes may be included.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID (iPhone) when you confirm the purchase; on Android it is charged to your Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends.
- How to cancel: on iPhone, Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → InTimePost; on Android, Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → InTimePost. If you cancel, Premium continues until the end of the period you paid for; no refund is made for the remaining time (your statutory withdrawal and refund rights remain). Deleting the app or your account does not cancel the subscription.
- Refund requests are handled through Apple's or Google's own process and under their terms.
- Restore purchases: on a new phone or after reinstalling, use the Restore purchases button on the Premium page to bring your subscription back through the same store account.
- The sender pays, not the recipient: Premium only sets the limits of the person who sends a capsule. A recipient on the free plan still opens the capsule with the chosen theme. If the sender stops subscribing, capsules already sent open exactly as before.
- We may change prices and limits; a change is not applied in the middle of a subscription period, and we follow the store's price-change rules. Premium can also be given as a gift; gift Premium involves no payment and ends on its end date.
7. Your content and rights
- You keep all rights to the messages, photos and voice recordings you send.
- By using InTimePost you give us permission to use your content only to provide the service: to store it, resize it, deliver it to your recipient and, with your and the recipient's approval, show it on Explore. This permission is free of charge, cannot be transferred, and ends when you delete the content or close your account (except for capsules already opened by your recipient).
- You must have the necessary rights to the content you share: do not share someone else's photo, voice or work without their permission.
- The InTimePost name, design, themes and software belong to us.
8. What you must not do
In addition to the Community Guidelines: you must not use InTimePost for any unlawful purpose, and you must not try to overload the system, get around security measures, access other people's accounts or locked capsules, or create accounts or collect data using automated tools.
9. If the rules are broken
We may remove content that breaks the rules, hide it from Explore, temporarily ban your account from posting to Explore and, for serious or repeated breaches, suspend or close your account. While your account is suspended you can sign in and see your own capsules, but you cannot send capsules, follow, like or post to Explore, and your profile is not visible to others. Capsules you sent before continue to open for their recipients. Some decisions are made automatically; you can appeal them (Community Guidelines). Where the law requires, we give information to the competent authorities.
10. Providing the service, and our liability
- InTimePost is provided "as is" (basic use is free; Premium is paid). We cannot guarantee that it will work without interruption or errors, or that every capsule will open at the exact second; but we take all reasonable measures to protect your data.
- The person who sends content is responsible for it. We remove unlawful content reported to us without delay.
- To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect damage. This does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, for intent or gross negligence), or your rights as a consumer.
- If we decide to shut InTimePost down, we will announce it in the app at least 30 days in advance.
11. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. We will announce important changes in the app before they take effect. If you keep using InTimePost after a change, you accept the new terms; if you do not accept them, you can delete your account.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. As a consumer, you keep the ways of seeking redress given to you by Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 (consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts). If you live outside Turkey, this choice of law does not take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.
