Terms of Service

Welcome to The RIF Wall, a social networking application. We're excited to have you on board as a user. These Terms of Service apply to The RIF Wall service.

Before you dive into using The RIF Wall, please take a moment to carefully read these Terms. This document outlines our legal obligations to each other and they apply to your use of our services.

The RIF Wall is available as a web-based app therifwall.com ( a “Site”). Your use of The RIF Wall is subject to these Terms of Service (“Terms”), as well as The RIF Wall Community Guidelines and The RIF Wall Privacy Policy, which are referenced in our Terms and available to read separately.

These terms only apply to social networking that happens on The RIF Wall services and Site. If you’re using another social networking application on the AT Protocol that isn’t The RIF Wall (we call this a “Developer Application”), the developers of the other service will provide the terms and conditions that govern your experience.

When we say “The RIF Wall,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in these Terms, we mean The RIF Wall.

Important Note: These Terms contain an agreement to resolve most disputes between us through arbitration (instead of suing in court) and to waive jury trials and class actions. Please read Sections 14 and 15 carefully.

In some cases below, we’ve added some summary text in italics to make these Terms easier to navigate, but please remember that the full text of these Terms is the most important.
