Terms of Use

1. What it is. StarDo is a self-discipline service (a task planner). You assign yourself a voluntary penalty in Telegram Stars for failing to complete your own task on time. This is NOT gambling, NOT a bet and NOT a financial service: there is no element of chance, the service does not influence the outcome of your task, and there are no payouts to users - it is impossible to receive money or Stars from the service under any outcome.

2. Penalty amount. You set the amount yourself when creating a task. The minimum is 5 Stars. Once the task is created, the amount can only be increased, never decreased. A task deadline can be moved once.

3. Payment (post-payment).
• When you create a task, you pay nothing.
• Completed the task on time - you pay nothing; your Stars stay with you.
• Not completed - the penalty becomes “awaiting payment”. Paying within 48 hours fully preserves your honor rating.
• Not paid within 48 hours - your honor rating decreases. The debt remains visible in the app and can be paid later - this partially restores the rating.

4. Refunds. Paying a penalty is the voluntary fulfillment of an obligation you set for yourself, so as a general rule it is not refunded. If you believe a payment went through because of a technical fault in the service - for example, Stars were charged twice, or a task completed on time went into debt because of a failure - contact /paysupport. Our support team reviews every request individually and decides on a refund. A refund requires a fault on our side; forgetting to mark a task as done, a change of plans or disagreement with the amount you set for yourself are not grounds for one. We may refuse a refund where there are signs of abuse. Refunds are made through Telegram and only for the whole payment. If a StarDo Plus subscription payment is refunded, the subscription is canceled and Plus ends at the moment of the refund. This does not limit any rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.

5. Payments. All payments in StarDo are made exclusively in Telegram Stars. The service is provided by the StarDo developer; Telegram is not a party to the relationship between you and the service and bears no responsibility for it. For payment questions and disputes: /paysupport.

6. Honor rating. A numeric indicator of how you fulfill your obligations. It grows with tasks completed on time and obligations paid, and decreases when a payment is missed. It is an internal metric of the service with no monetary value.

7. StarDo Plus subscription. If you subscribe, the subscription is paid in Stars and renews automatically every 30 days. You can cancel at any time - in the app (Profile → Subscription) or in Telegram settings; access remains until the end of the paid period. The trial is given once: 7 days, or 14 for those who come with a friend's invite. For 12 friends who join with your link and use StarDo on at least three different days within their first 30 days, you get 30 days of Plus - once. Bonuses have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for Stars; inviting your own extra accounts and other attempts to game the count do not qualify, and a bonus obtained that way may be revoked.

8. Privacy. The content of your tasks is private and is used only to operate the service. Friends (whoever invited you and whoever you invited) see only the picture of your sky, unless you turn that off in the settings. When you delete your account, tasks, projects and history are deleted. Only your honor rating, the record of a used trial period and your invite count stay linked to your Telegram account and are restored if you register again. Any contributions still unpaid at the time of deletion count as unpaid.

9. Voice input (StarDo Plus). A voice message sent to the bot is passed to a third-party speech recognition and text parsing service in order to turn what you said into a task. The recording is not stored on our servers: it is processed in memory and discarded right after recognition. The recognized text is kept until you confirm or decline it, and no longer than one hour, after which it is deleted - only what you confirmed remains in the task. The feature is available with a subscription and during the trial period.

10. General. By paying for anything in StarDo you confirm your agreement with these terms (a reminder is shown in the payment window). Mark completion honestly - the service runs on trust. The service is provided “as is”; the terms may be updated.

11. Design. StarDo's design uses stickers from the Hotter Otter set and animated emoji from Telegram sets. The rights to these materials belong to their respective owners; StarDo does not claim them as its own. Achievement icons are taken from the Material Symbols set (Google) and are used under the Apache 2.0 license; the numerals on the medals are set in the Nunito font under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
