1.1 These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Wister mobile application (the "App"), operated by DONATION POS L.P. (DONATION POS E.E.), a limited partnership registered under the laws of the Hellenic Republic (Greece), with registered office at El. Venizelou 218, Kallithea, 17675, Athens, Greece, GEMI registration number 178825503000, VAT number EL802572430 (hereinafter "Wister," "we," "us," or "our").
1.2 By creating an account, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.
1.3 Nature of the App. Wister is a private messaging application. The App is designed for private, one-to-one communication between Users who share each other's phone number and are saved in each other's device contacts. Wister is NOT a public social media platform, broadcasting service, or content marketplace. All interactions within the App — including messages, calls, stories, and gifts — occur exclusively between Users who are mutual contacts. There is no public profile, public feed, public gifting, or open discovery of users.
1.4 Wister is a technology company that sells digital content. Wister is NOT a payment institution, electronic money institution, bank, credit institution, or financial services provider as defined under Directive (EU) 2015/2366 (PSD2), Directive 2009/110/EC (EMD2), or any applicable national legislation including Greek Law 4537/2018 and Greek Law 4021/2011.
1.5 Community Recognition Program. Wister operates an optional Community Recognition Program that provides discretionary monetary recognition to eligible Participants from Wister's own operating funds. This program:
In these Terms, the following definitions apply:
"App" means the Wister private messaging application, including all related services, features, content, and updates provided by Wister. The App operates as a closed, contact-based communication platform where Users can only interact with other Users who are saved in their device's phone contacts.
"User" means any individual who creates an account and uses the App.
"Sender" means a User who sends a Gift to another User within the App.
"Recipient" means a User who receives a Gift from another User within the App.
"Rubies" means the digital items sold and licensed by Wister to Users within the App. Rubies are digital content — they are NOT electronic money, virtual currency, a financial instrument, stored value, or any form of monetary instrument under Directive 2009/110/EC, Directive (EU) 2015/2366, or any applicable national law. Rubies represent a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use digital content within the App.
"Digital Items" means Rubies, Gifts, and any other digital content made available within the App.
"Gift" means a voluntary, gratuitous transfer of a digital item (Rubies) from one User to another within a private chat in the App. Gifts can only be sent between Users who are mutual contacts (i.e., each User has the other's phone number saved in their device contacts). Gifts are made without consideration or expectation of return.
"Community Recognition Program" means an optional program through which Wister may, at its sole and absolute discretion, offer discretionary monetary recognition to eligible Participants in recognition of their community engagement and participation within the App.
"Ruby Inventory" means the total number of Rubies held by a User within the App.
3.1 You must be at least sixteen (16) years of age to create an account and use the App.
3.2 You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to purchase Rubies or apply to the Community Recognition Program.
3.3 Each individual may create and maintain only one (1) account. Creating multiple accounts is a violation of these Terms and may result in the suspension or termination of all associated accounts.
3.4 Account verification is performed via SMS to the phone number you provide during registration. You must have access to a valid mobile phone number to create and maintain your account.
3.5 By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements set forth in this Section and that all information you provide is accurate and truthful.
3.6 Parental and Guardian Consent. Users between the ages of sixteen (16) and eighteen (18) may only use the App with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By allowing a minor between 16 and 18 to use the App, the parent or legal guardian agrees to these Terms on behalf of the minor and accepts responsibility for the minor's use of the App. Users under the age of eighteen (18) are NOT permitted to purchase Rubies, participate in the Community Recognition Program, or engage in any financial transactions within the App.
4.1 Account Creation. Accounts are created using your mobile phone number, verified via SMS. You must provide accurate and complete information during registration and keep this information up to date.
4.2 Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify Wister immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
4.3 Suspension and Termination. Wister reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account at any time if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or suspicious activity, or for any other legitimate reason, subject to the provisions of Section 15 (Termination).
5.1 Nature of Rubies. Rubies are digital items sold and licensed by Wister. They are NOT electronic money, virtual currency, a financial instrument, or any form of stored value under Directive 2009/110/EC or Directive (EU) 2015/2366. Rubies represent a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use digital content within the App. The purchase of Rubies constitutes a final sale of digital content from Wister to the User.
5.2 Pricing. Rubies are sold in packs. The current retail price of Rubies is 100 Rubies per 1.00 EUR (inclusive of applicable VAT). This price reflects the cost of digital content and does not establish any monetary value, exchange rate, or currency equivalence. Wister reserves the right to modify the pricing of Rubies at any time, with notice provided through the App. VAT is included in the displayed price and the applicable rate depends on the buyer's country of residence, in accordance with EU VAT rules.
5.3 Payment Methods. Rubies may be purchased using Stripe (credit/debit card), Apple Pay, Google Pay, or through In-App Purchases via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. All payments are processed by licensed third-party payment providers. Wister does not directly process or store your payment card information.
5.4 Use of Rubies. Rubies may be used within the App to send Gifts to other Users, access in-app features, and access premium content, as made available by Wister from time to time.
5.5 Purchased Rubies vs. Received Rubies. The App distinguishes between two categories of Rubies within your Ruby Inventory:
Your Ruby Inventory displays both categories separately so that you can track your Purchased Rubies and Received Rubies at all times.
5.6 No Refunds — Digital Content. The purchase of Rubies is non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), you have the right to withdraw from a purchase of digital content within fourteen (14) days of the transaction, provided that the digital content has not been delivered. However, by completing a purchase, you expressly consent to the immediate delivery of the digital content (Rubies) and acknowledge the following:
"I agree that the digital content is delivered immediately upon purchase and I acknowledge that I thereby waive my 14-day right of withdrawal pursuant to Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU."
This consent will be obtained explicitly at the point of purchase within the App.
5.7 Revenue. Payments received for Rubies constitute revenue of Wister. These funds are NOT held on behalf of any third party, are NOT segregated or ring-fenced for any User, and are NOT custodial funds.
5.8 In-App Purchase Platform Terms. Purchases of Rubies made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are subject to the respective platform's terms and conditions:
5.9 Virtual Items Disclaimer. Rubies and all other digital items within the App have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for legal tender, real currency, or any item of value outside the App, except solely as described in the Community Recognition Program (Section 7) at Wister's sole discretion. Rubies are not redeemable, transferable (except as Gifts within the App), or exchangeable outside the App. Wister reserves the right to manage, regulate, control, modify, suspend, or eliminate Rubies and other digital items at its sole discretion, and Wister shall have no liability to you or any third party for exercising such rights.
6.1 Nature of Gifts. Sending a Gift is a voluntary, gratuitous transfer of a digital item from one User to another within a private chat, with no expectation of consideration or return. Gifts can only be sent between Users who are mutual contacts — that is, each User must have the other's phone number saved in their device contacts. Gifts are NOT public; they are exchanged privately between individuals who know each other. Gifts are intended to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, namedays, weddings, anniversaries, and other personal milestones. No money, funds, or monetary value is transmitted between Users at any point during a Gift transaction. Gifts involve only the transfer of digital items within the App.
6.2 How Gifts Work. Within a private chat between mutual contacts, the Sender selects a Gift from the catalog and sends it to the Recipient. The corresponding number of Rubies is deducted from the Sender's Ruby Inventory and added to the Recipient's Ruby Inventory. There is no public gift feed, public leaderboard, or public display of gifts.
6.3 No Payment Services. Wister does not provide payment services, money transmission services, or act as a payment intermediary between Users. No commission or fee is charged by Wister on Gift transactions between Users.
6.4 Irrevocability. Gifts are irrevocable once sent. A Sender cannot recall, reverse, or cancel a Gift after it has been transmitted to the Recipient.
6.5 Prohibited Gift Practices. The following practices are strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension or termination:
7.1 Nature of Program. Wister operates an optional Community Recognition Program to recognize Users for their community engagement and participation within the App. This is a discretionary recognition initiative, not a payment service, withdrawal mechanism, or currency exchange. Wister uses its own operating funds to provide discretionary monetary recognition to eligible Participants. Because the App is a private, contact-based messaging platform, Received Rubies originate exclusively from private Gift transactions between mutual contacts — not from public tipping, broadcasting, or open solicitation.
7.2 Eligibility Requirements. To be considered for the Community Recognition Program, a User must:
7.3 How the Program Works.
7.4 Reward Limits and Restrictions.

7.6 Payment Method. Rewards are paid exclusively via bank transfer (SEPA) or PayPal, at Wister's discretion based on the Participant's location and verification status. Participants must provide valid banking details or a verified PayPal account.
7.7 Processing and Approval.

9.2 Violation of these rules may result in immediate account suspension or termination, forfeiture of privileges, payout freeze, and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement authorities.
9.3 Automated Detection. Wister uses automated systems to monitor transaction patterns for potential abuse. These systems may flag accounts for manual review based on activity thresholds. If your account is flagged, you may be contacted for additional verification before certain features (including Community Recognition payouts) are processed.
10.1 User-Generated Content. You retain ownership of the content you create within the App, including messages, stories, and profile information. By posting or transmitting content through the App, you grant Wister a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, transmit, and process that content as necessary to operate and provide the App's services.

You may disable push notifications at any time through your device settings. Disabling push notifications may affect your ability to receive timely updates about gifts and messages.
