Flaer Terms of Service and User Agreement
Last Updated: December 2025
Summary of Key Points (Plain-Language Overview) This summary is provided for convenience only. The full Terms of Service below are the legally binding agreement.
What Flaer Is Flaer allows Users to share authentic Instagram posts or stories about businesses and potentially earn money based on performance.
Data You Authorize Flaer accesses only the Instagram data you explicitly grant permission for. This data is used to verify your content, retrieve insights, calculate rewards, and maintain platform integrity. Flaer does not track you across other apps or websites.
Your Agreement By using Flaer, you agree to these Terms, Instagram’s rules, and all content and safety policies. You may monetize only content you own that accurately represents the business you select.
Content and Safety Standards Flaer does not allow or monetize adult content, violence, hate, illegal activity, or any content prohibited by Apple App Store Review Guidelines or Instagram policies.
How Rewards Work Businesses fund their accounts using Stripe. You earn money only after Instagram insights are successfully retrieved and validated. Estimated rewards are not guaranteed.
Your Responsibilities You must maintain valid Instagram access. Deleting posts, revoking permissions, or violating policies may result in unrewarded Shares or account termination. Fraud, bots, fake engagement, or manipulation are strictly prohibited.
Advertiser Responsibilities Businesses must maintain adequate credit balances, provide accurate information, and follow all advertising rules. Credit purchases are non-refundable unless required by law.
No Guaranteed Earnings Reward amounts depend on actual post performance. Flaer does not guarantee that any User will earn money.
Third-Party Dependencies Flaer relies on Instagram, Stripe, AWS, and your device’s operating system. Outages, API limitations, or platform failures may affect functionality or reward calculations.
Your Rights You may delete your Flaer account at any time. Flaer will remove your Instagram data unless retention is required for legal or audit purposes.
Dispute Resolution Users must attempt informal resolution first. U.S. Users agree to binding arbitration and waive participation in class actions.

AWS may experience outages or regional disruptions that affect:
access to stored content,
availability of Flaer services or features;

referral link tracking,
diagnostics of marketing campaigns.
