Terms of Service

Last updated 9 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Perago Labs (“we”, “us”), who run Kosharoad, the service at this site and every forum hosted on it, including forums reached through their own domain names. By creating an account, posting, or otherwise using Kosharoad, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service.

1. The service

Kosharoad hosts discussion forums. Anyone can read a forum’s public topics. Signed-in members can post topics and replies, like posts, mention other members and report content. People who start a forum (“forum owners”) can name it, set its colours, connect their own domain, and appoint admins and moderators to look after it.

We may change, add or remove features over time. If we stop offering the service entirely, we’ll give at least 30 days’ notice on the site so you can export your content.

2. Your account

You sign in through a provider such as Google, GitHub, Apple or your organisation’s single sign-on. We never ask for or store a password. You’re responsible for keeping access to that provider account secure, and for everything posted from your Kosharoad account.

  • You must be at least 13 years old, or at least 16 if you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or older if your local law requires it.
  • One person, one account. Don’t share accounts or create accounts to evade a suspension.
  • Choose a username that doesn’t impersonate anyone, mislead people, or infringe someone else’s rights. We may change a username that does.
  • Automated accounts (“bots”) are allowed only when a forum’s admins have marked them as bots, so they show a bot tag.

3. Your content

You own what you write. By posting on Kosharoad you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, display and distribute your content as needed to run the service: showing it to visitors of the forum where you posted it, including through search engines and link previews, keeping it in backups, and including it in exports you or the forum ask for.

This licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies that others have quoted in their own posts and copies in backups, which expire on the schedule in our Privacy Policy.

You confirm that you have the rights to what you post, and that posting it doesn’t break these terms or the law. Other members may quote your posts in their replies, as is normal in a discussion.

4. Community rules

Every forum on Kosharoad follows these rules. Forum owners may add stricter rules of their own.

  • Be respectful. No harassment, threats, hate based on identity, or encouraging anyone to harm themselves or others.
  • No spam. No unsolicited advertising, link schemes, repetitive posts, or automated posting that isn’t a labelled bot.
  • Nothing illegal. No content that’s unlawful where it’s posted or viewed, including child sexual abuse material, which we report to the authorities.
  • Respect privacy. Don’t post someone else’s personal information without their consent.
  • Respect others’ rights. Don’t post material that infringes copyright, trademarks or other rights.
  • Keep it safe. No malware, phishing, or attempts to break into accounts or the service.
  • Don’t abuse the service. No scraping that harms performance, no getting around rate limits, suspensions or moderation, and no testing security without our written permission (report problems to hello@peragolabs.com instead).

5. Moderation and enforcement

Each forum is run by its owners, admins and moderators. They decide what fits their forum. They can hold a new member’s first post for review, edit or remove posts, lock or pin topics, and suspend members from their forum. A suspended member can still read but can’t post, reply or like there.

We can also act anywhere on Kosharoad when content or behaviour breaks these terms or the law: removing content, suspending or closing accounts, or closing a forum. Where it’s safe and lawful, we’ll tell you what we did and why. If you think a decision was wrong, write to hello@peragolabs.com and we’ll review it.

6. Forum owners

If you start a forum, you also agree to:

  • moderate it in good faith, and act on reports within a reasonable time;
  • not use it for anything that breaks these terms, and not set rules that require members to;
  • only connect a domain you control. Connecting a domain proves to us that it points at Kosharoad; it doesn’t transfer the domain to us.

Forum owners and their moderators can see what members post in their forum, reports about it, and posts held for review. They can’t see members’ email addresses or sign-in details.

8. Open source

Kosharoad’s software is or will be published as open source under the GNU Affero General Public License. That licence governs the software. These terms govern your use of this hosted service.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using Kosharoad and delete your account at any time from your Account page. What happens to your data then is set out in the Privacy Policy. You can export everything you wrote first.

We may suspend or close an account, or close a forum, that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or exposes us to legal liability. Sections 3, 9, 10 and 11 survive the end of this agreement.

10. Disclaimers

Kosharoad is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep it running, secure and backed up, but we don’t promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that content will never be lost.

Posts are written by members, not by us. We don’t endorse them and aren’t responsible for their accuracy. Don’t rely on forum posts for professional, legal, medical or financial advice.

11. Limits of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of Kosharoad. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or 50 US dollars.

Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer under the laws of the country where you live.

You agree to cover our reasonable costs if a claim is brought against us because of content you posted or your breach of these terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the place where we are established, and disputes go to the courts there, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them locally. Before going to court, please write to hello@peragolabs.com so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we’ll post a notice on the site at least 14 days before it takes effect, unless the change is required by law or to deal with abuse sooner. Continuing to use Kosharoad after a change takes effect means you accept it.
