bamboo Terms of Use

Last updated: 14 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Thomas James Hayes Gaha ("bamboo", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using bamboo, you agree to them, to our Community Guidelines and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use bamboo.

1. Who can use bamboo

• You must be 16 or older.
• You must give your true date of birth, and you may only have one account.
• You may not use bamboo if we have banned you before, or if the law where you live doesn't allow it.

2. Your account

• Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
• Your username must not pretend to be someone else, and must not be offensive.
• Tell us at support@bamboochallenge.app if you think someone else is using your account.

3. Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abuse

bamboo has no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You must follow the Community Guidelines. In particular, you must not post or send anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens or abuses anyone;
• is hateful toward people because of who they are;
• is sexual or contains nudity;
• involves anyone under 18 in a sexual or harmful way (we report this to the authorities);
• promotes self-harm, or challenges that are dangerous or illegal;
• is spam, a scam, or someone else's work you have no right to share.

4. Taking part in challenges safely

• Challenges are suggestions, not instructions. You decide whether and how to do them, and you take part at your own risk.
• bamboo is not medical, health, fitness, mental-health or professional advice. Check with a doctor before starting physical activity if you have any health concerns, and stop if something feels unsafe.
• Follow the law and respect other people and places while doing a challenge.
• Challenges made by other users, and links shared by them, are not checked in advance. Use your judgement, and report anything unsafe.
• If you are struggling or in danger, contact local emergency services (000 in Australia, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US), or a support line such as Lifeline (13 11 14), Samaritans (116 123) or 988 in the US.

5. Collabs and meeting people

Collabs pair you with friends or friends-of-friends to do a challenge together. If you choose to meet someone in person, do it in a public place and tell someone you trust. bamboo does not check users' backgrounds, and we are not responsible for what other users do.

6. Your content

• You keep ownership of what you post.
• By posting, you give bamboo a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, show and share your content within bamboo, to the people you chose, for as long as it is on bamboo. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies that have already been shared with others, such as messages you sent, and backups that are removed in time.
• You confirm that you have the right to post it, and that people shown in your photos or videos are happy to appear.

7. Moderation

• Anyone can report content or people. We review reports and may remove content, give warnings, or suspend or ban accounts. We can do this without notice if we believe it is needed to keep bamboo safe or to follow the law.
• Content may be hidden automatically once enough people report it, until we review it.
• If you think we got it wrong, email support@bamboochallenge.app and we will look again.

8. Copyright complaints

If you believe something on bamboo uses your work without permission, email support@bamboochallenge.app with the item, your work, and your contact details.

9. bamboo's content

The bamboo name, logo, design, app and our challenges belong to us or our licensors. You may use them only to use bamboo as intended. Don't copy, scrape, reverse-engineer or resell the app.

10. Changes and availability

bamboo is free. We may change, pause or stop features, or bamboo itself. If we change these terms in an important way, we'll tell you in the app. If you keep using bamboo after that, you accept the new terms.

11. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings › Delete account. We may suspend or end your account if you break these terms. Sections 4, 6 (for content already shared), 12 and 13 keep applying afterwards.

12. Our responsibility to you

• Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other consumer laws that can't be excluded.
• Apart from those rights, bamboo is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss or harm from: doing challenges, other users' content or behaviour, meeting people, or the app being unavailable.

13. Law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. If you live in the UK or US, you also keep any protections that your local consumer law gives you.

14. Apple and Google

If you got bamboo from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If these terms and Apple's conflict, these terms apply, as far as Apple allows. Apple and Google are not responsible for bamboo or its support.
