Welcome to Folo, your personalized RSS reader and content hub. By using our application, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Please read them carefully as they govern your use of the Service and the rights and obligations that come with it.
Folo is designed to provide an intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly experience in managing your RSS feeds. We aim to offer a seamless and secure environment, but it’s important for you to understand your rights and responsibilities while using the Service.
By accessing or using Folo ("the Service"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms form a legally binding contract between you and Natural Selection Limited, which owns and operates Folo. You are responsible for your actions and for ensuring your use of the Service complies with these Terms.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Folo. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. If you are under 13, you are prohibited from using the Service. Natural Selection Limited reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for users who violate these requirements. If you use Folo on behalf of a company, you confirm you have the authority to bind the company to these Terms.
To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (e.g., username and password) and for all activities under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access. You agree to provide accurate, up-to-date information when creating or maintaining your account. Failure to do so may result in limited access or functionality.
You agree to use Folo solely for lawful purposes and in a manner that respects the rights of others. You shall not use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or malicious activities, including transmitting malware, viruses, or phishing attempts, or interfering with the Service’s operation or security. Unauthorized attempts to access the Service through hacking or other unlawful means are prohibited and may result in account termination.
You may not exploit the Service for commercial purposes unless explicitly authorized by Natural Selection Limited.
Folo offers both free and paid features. Certain functionalities, such as advanced AI features or additional $POWER purchases, may require payment. All fees will be clearly disclosed in the application or on our website (https://app.follow.is). Fees are non-refundable unless required by applicable law.
Folo enables you to import, subscribe to, and read content via RSS feeds. You retain ownership of any content you post, upload, or submit. By sharing content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, display, modify, and distribute your content as necessary to operate, improve, and provide the Service. You are responsible for ensuring your content does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights and for respecting the rights of content creators and copyright holders.
The Service, including its software, designs, and content, is owned by Natural Selection Limited or its licensors. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or distribute any part of the Service without our permission. All trademarks, logos, and service marks are the property of Natural Selection Limited or their respective owners. Unauthorized use is prohibited.
Folo incorporates AI-powered features for content translation, summarization, and recommendations. We strive to ensure these features provide useful outputs, but we do not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or reliability. You should independently verify AI-generated content, especially for critical decisions. Natural Selection Limited is not liable for losses or damages from relying on AI content, except where caused by our gross negligence. Report significant AI errors to [email protected] for us to improve the Service.
Folo’s $POWER system allows users to support content creators by tipping or rewarding with $POWER, a virtual point system with no real-world monetary value. You can acquire $POWER through community participation, tasks, or in-app purchases. You agree to:
If you have disputes about $POWER transactions, contact us at [email protected]. We will investigate and respond within 30 days, but our decision is final. If we terminate the $POWER system, we will notify users at least 30 days in advance via email or in-app notification. Unused $POWER will expire upon termination without refund or compensation.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the $POWER system at any time with notice.

Violations may result in account suspension or termination and, if necessary, legal action.
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. We disclaim all express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct, Natural Selection Limited is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill. Our total liability shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Service in the past 12 months or SGD 100. These Terms do not limit statutory rights that cannot be waived by contract under applicable law.
We may modify these Terms at any time. Changes take effect upon posting to the Service. For significant changes (e.g., affecting user rights, fees, or data use), we will notify you at least 14 days in advance via email, in-app notification, or our website (https://app.follow.is). If you disagree with the changes, you may terminate your account before they take effect by contacting us or using account settings. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. You are responsible for periodically reviewing the Terms.
We may suspend, disable, or terminate your access to the Service at any time for reasons including violations of these Terms or fraudulent behavior. Except for immediate termination due to legal or policy violations, we will notify you 14 days in advance via email or in-app notification. You may export your RSS subscriptions and other user-generated content (if applicable) via the account settings’ export feature before termination. We recommend regular backups. Upon termination, your account will be deactivated, and we do not guarantee retention of your data unless required by law.
