Terms of Service

Effective October 14, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and 10xApps (“we”, “us”), who makes Beam. By creating an account or using Beam you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Beam. How we handle your data is in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms.

1. Who can use Beam

You must be at least 16 years old, and old enough in your country to agree to these terms yourself. You sign in with your Apple ID, and you are responsible for what happens on your account.

2. How Beam works

Beam connects two people. You pair with one partner at a time, using a code or an invite link, and the two of you share one thread: messages, photos, videos and voice messages, some of which also appear on each other's Home Screen widget. Either of you can leave the pair, report something the other sent, or delete your account, at any time, from inside the app.

Beam is free. If we ever introduce paid features, we will tell you before anything is charged, and payments will go through Apple.

3. Your content

What you send through Beam is yours. To run Beam we need your permission to store it, copy it, convert it into formats your partner's phone and widget can show, and deliver it to your partner. You give us that permission — worldwide, without charge, and only for operating Beam — for as long as the content is on our servers. It ends when the content is deleted, except for copies in backups until they expire and a copy kept with a report, as the Privacy Policy describes.

Stickers in Beam's editor come from GIPHY. They belong to GIPHY or to the people who made them, are offered under GIPHY's own terms, and are not checked by us. A sticker you add becomes part of the photo or video you send, and these terms apply to what you send.

Only send what you have the right to send. Your partner can see, keep and save what you send them; once it is on their phone, neither we nor you can take it back.

4. What you must not do

Do not use Beam to send, or to do, any of the following:

• anything sexual involving anyone under 18, in any form;
• intimate images or videos of anyone who has not agreed to them being shared;
• threats, harassment, or content meant to frighten, demean or control another person;
• content that promotes violence, self-harm or hatred against people for who they are;
• anything illegal, or anything that infringes someone else's rights, including their copyright or their privacy;
• pairing with someone, or keeping a pair, against their will;
• trying to break, overload, reverse-engineer or get around the security of Beam, or to reach accounts or data that are not yours.

5. Reports, and what we do about them

If your partner sends something that breaks these terms, report it from the thread: press and hold the message, then choose Report. You can also leave the pair from the same place, or from your profile, which stops them sending you anything more.

Reports are reviewed by a person, usually within 24 hours. If something breaks these terms we may remove it, suspend or delete the account that sent it, and, where the law requires or someone is in danger, pass it to the authorities. The person who sent it is not told that it was reported.

6. Ending things

You can leave a pair or delete your account at any time, in the app. What deletion removes, and what it cannot reach, is in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or if the law requires us to. We may also change Beam, or stop offering it; if we stop, we will tell you in advance where we can, so you can save what you want to keep.

7. No warranty

Beam is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep it running and your content safe, but we do not promise that it will always be available, that every message will arrive, or that your widget will always update — iOS decides when a widget refreshes. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

8. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for loss of data, arising from your use of Beam, and our total liability to you for any claim about Beam is limited to 50 US dollars. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or takes away rights you have as a consumer where you live.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using Beam after that, you accept the new terms; if you do not, you can delete your account.

10. Apple and the App Store

These terms are between you and us only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Beam and its content.

• Licence. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use Beam on Apple devices that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Support. We alone provide support and maintenance for Beam, at the contact below. Apple has no obligation to provide any.
• Warranty. If Beam fails to conform to any warranty that applies by law, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Beam; any other claims, losses or costs from a failure to conform to a warranty are ours to answer for, not Apple's.
• Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for any claim by you or anyone else relating to Beam or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that Beam fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• Intellectual property. If anyone claims that Beam or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• Legal compliance. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with any terms of third parties that apply when you use Beam, such as your mobile carrier's.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, once you accept them, have the right to enforce them against you.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in its courts.
