EchoGram Terms of Use

Effective date: 9 September 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Lior Iluz, trading as “Illuzion Apps” (“Illuzion Apps”, “we”, “us”), based in Israel, governing your use of the EchoGram mobile and TV applications and any related services (together, the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the App. You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a subscription or make any other payment through the App (see Section 7). By using the App you represent that you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using the App under the laws of your jurisdiction.

2. What EchoGram Is

EchoGram is an independent, third-party client that lets you browse and play media from Telegram channels and chats that your own Telegram account already has access to. To use the App you sign in with your own Telegram account.

The App works like a web browser or a feed reader: it transmits, and may briefly cache on your device, only the content that you choose to open, using your own Telegram account and credentials. It does not act as a server or repository for that content, does not make content available to anyone other than you on your own devices, and forms a direct relationship between you and Telegram for every channel or chat you add. In relation to that content we are a conduit for data you request; we are not its publisher, distributor, host, or source. To the extent the law of your jurisdiction provides a safe harbour, exemption, or limitation of liability for providers of mere-conduit, caching, hosting, intermediary, or information-location services, we rely on it.

EchoGram is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Telegram Messenger Inc. or Telegram FZ-LLC. “Telegram” is a trademark of its respective owners. Your use of Telegram through the App remains subject to Telegram’s own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and we are not responsible for Telegram’s availability, behaviour, or any changes it makes.

3. Your Account and Your Responsibility

• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Telegram account and any device on which the App is installed.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs through your use of the App.
• You agree to use the App only to access content you are lawfully entitled to access, and to comply with Telegram’s terms and all applicable laws.
• You acknowledge that content you reach through the App is delivered to you under your own Telegram account, is not selected, provided, hosted, or endorsed by us, and is yours to assess for legality before you open it.
• You will not use the App to view, download, store, or transmit any material that is unlawful to possess or access in your jurisdiction, including child sexual abuse material. You alone are responsible for such conduct, it is a serious criminal offence, and we may report it to the relevant authorities and terminate your access without notice.

4. Content Is Not Ours

EchoGram does not host, store, own, upload, curate, or control any channel or chat content. All media, messages, titles, and metadata shown in the App are retrieved from Telegram’s servers on your behalf, at your direction. We do not review this content and we are not responsible for it. Any opinions, claims, or materials in third-party content are those of the party that posted them, not us.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of any content through the App is lawful in your jurisdiction.

We have no practical ability to monitor, pre-screen, filter, or edit the content available on Telegram, and we do not do so. Our only means of acting on content is to configure the App so that it stops resolving or displaying a specific channel, chat, or item for users generally, or to suspend or terminate a user’s access to the App. We will use these means where required by applicable law or in response to a valid notice under Section 6. These means do not, and cannot, delete anything from Telegram, which stores the content and is outside our control. You accept the App subject to this limitation.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

• use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any third party’s rights, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• use the App to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, or make available content in a way that infringes copyright or other rights;
• attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related or access-control features of the App or of Telegram;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• use the App to build or train a competing product, or resell or commercially exploit the App without our written permission;
• use automated means to access the App in a manner that places unreasonable load on our or Telegram’s infrastructure.

6. Copyright, Unlawful Content, and Takedown

Although we do not host content, we respect intellectual-property rights and act on reports of unlawful content. If you believe that content accessible through the App infringes your copyright or is otherwise unlawful, contact us at [email protected] with: (a) identification of the work or the legal basis of your complaint, (b) identification of the material and enough detail for us to locate it, (c) your contact information, (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised or is unlawful, and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorised to act.

On receipt of a valid notice we will, within a reasonable time, configure the App so that it stops resolving or displaying the identified material to users, and we may suspend or terminate the access of any user who repeatedly directs the App to infringing or unlawful content. Because the material resides on Telegram and not on any server we control, its removal at source must be requested from Telegram; our action is limited to the App itself.

7. Premium Subscriptions and Billing

The App offers an optional paid subscription (“EchoGram Premium”) that unlocks additional features. The features included in Premium are described in the App and may change over time. You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a subscription.

• Where you buy. Premium is sold as an auto-renewable subscription through the app store you installed the App from: the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Amazon Appstore (each, a “Store”). All purchases, renewals, billing, and refunds are handled by that Store under its terms, not by us.
• Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Managing and cancelling. You manage or cancel your subscription in your Store account settings (for example, Apple ID → Subscriptions). Deleting the App does not cancel the subscription.
• Free trials or introductory offers, where offered, convert to a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• Price changes. If we change the subscription price, we will seek your consent or give you notice through the Store as required by the Store’s rules and applicable law; the change takes effect on your next renewal.
• Refunds. Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable by us; refund requests are subject to the policy of the Store through which you purchased.

If you have statutory cancellation or withdrawal rights (for example, under EU or UK consumer law), those rights are not affected by this section.

8. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, and your use of the App means your data is processed by them as described in our Privacy Policy:

• Telegram / TDLib: used to authenticate you and retrieve content from Telegram.
• The Movie Database (TMDB): used for optional film and TV metadata and artwork. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
• Google Firebase: used for authentication tokens, crash diagnostics, and verifying and syncing your Premium entitlement across your devices.

We are not responsible for third-party services, and their terms and privacy policies govern your use of them.

9. Local Network and Casting

To play media and to support casting to devices such as Chromecast or DLNA receivers, the App may run a local media server on your device and communicate with other devices on your own local network. This traffic stays on your network and is used only to deliver playback to a player or receiver you choose.

10. Licence and Intellectual Property

The App is licensed to you, not sold. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control for your own non-commercial use. We and our licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the App, including its name, logo, and design. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights in Telegram’s, TMDB’s, or any other third party’s marks or content.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that defects will be corrected, or that any content will remain available. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither we nor our licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us (or the Store paid us on your behalf) for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 25. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Without limiting the above, we are not liable for any loss, harm, claim, penalty, or other legal consequence arising from content that you access, or attempt to access, through the App, including its legality, accuracy, availability, or effect. That content is provided by third parties through Telegram and is not ours.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our licensors harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including your access to or use of any content through the App. You will bear the cost of that defence, and we may, at our option, assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, in which case you will cooperate with us.

14. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or its features if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the App. We may also, at our sole discretion and without notice or liability, block the App from resolving or displaying any content, or disable any feature, for any user or for all users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 6, 10-13, and 16) will survive.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this section does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you reside.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to [email protected] or via our contact page. Illuzion Apps is a trading name of Lior Iluz, Israel.

18. Apple App Store: Additional Terms

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies and, in case of conflict with the rest of these Terms as to your App Store use, this section controls:

• These Terms are between you and Illuzion Apps only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Your licence to use the App is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of Illuzion Apps.
• Illuzion Apps, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, claims under consumer-protection or similar legislation, and intellectual-property claims.
• In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual-property rights, Illuzion Apps, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
• Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

19. Google Play and Amazon Appstore

If you obtained the App from Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, your use is also subject to that store’s terms of service, and purchases and subscriptions are handled under that store’s billing and refund policies.
