Terms of service

These terms are an agreement between you and Playxoft Studios Private Limited (CIN U58203TN2025PTC178070), a company registered in Tamil Nadu, India, which builds and operates Dynamo Geeks (dynamogeeks.com). By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy and community guidelines, which are part of this agreement. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 where your local law sets a higher minimum age for using an online service without parental consent, to create an account. You must provide accurate information when you sign up, and you are responsible for keeping it up to date.

• One account per person. Do not create accounts for other people, or multiple accounts to fake engagement or votes.
• You are responsible for anything that happens through your account, so keep your password secure and tell us if you think someone else has access to it.
• Self-serve account deletion is not built yet. To close your account, email support@dynamogeeks.com; see our privacy policy for what happens to your data.

You own what you write, post, draw and record on Dynamo Geeks: your articles, questions, answers, comments, images, video and chat messages ("your content"). You are responsible for it, including making sure you have the right to post it.

To run the site, we need your permission to do certain things with your public content, so by posting it you grant Playxoft a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, format and distribute it as part of operating Dynamo Geeks, for example showing it in feeds, search results, email digests, RSS and social share cards. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept briefly for backups, legal compliance, or because someone else has already quoted or commented on it (a comment thread does not disappear just because the original post was removed).

Content inside a secret chat is different: because it is end-to-end encrypted, we never receive a readable copy of it at all, so no licence from you is needed for us to use it, and we could not exercise one if we wanted to.

Do not post anything you copied from someone else without the right to. Quoting briefly and linking to the source is welcome; copying someone's writing or code and presenting it as your own is not, and is covered in our community guidelines and the copyright section below.

Using Dynamo Geeks means following our community guidelines, which cover what a good post looks like, self-promotion, AI-generated content labelling, security research, and what gets removed. They are part of this agreement, and breaking them can lead to content removal or account action under Suspension and termination.

In addition to the community guidelines, you agree not to:

• Break any law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Upload malware, attempt to breach security, or disrupt the service (outside the security research rules in our guidelines).
• Scrape the site at scale, or use automated means to create accounts, post content or extract member data, including for recruiting outside the Recruiter feature.
• Impersonate another person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation with one.
• Resell, sublicense or redistribute access to the site or its paid features without our written permission.
• Reverse engineer or circumvent any access control, including anything protecting secret chat encryption.

Reputation, badges and your position on the leaderboard are earned through genuine contributions. They cannot be bought, sold, gifted or transferred between accounts, and no paid product on this site changes them, your rank, or your placement in answers. Faking engagement to inflate reputation (sock-puppet accounts, vote rings, bought likes) breaks our guidelines and may result in reputation being reversed and the account suspended.

Full, current prices are always on /pricing. As of 3 November 2026:

• Showcase (for businesses): a labelled sponsored placement, at $9 for one week, $19 for one month, or $49 for three months.
• Pro (for writers): a free plan, plus a paid pass at $5 per month or $50 per year.
• Recruiter: a free plan, plus a paid pass at $20 per month or $200 per year.

Dodo Payments is the merchant of record for every purchase on Dynamo Geeks: it processes your payment, issues your receipt, and collects and remits any sales tax, VAT or GST that applies in your country. Playxoft Studios Private Limited sets the price and provides the product; Dodo Payments handles the transaction.

Every plan is a one-time pass, not a subscription. Unless this page says otherwise for a specific product, nothing auto-renews. A pass runs for the period you bought and then simply ends; buy another to continue. Buying a new pass while one is already running adds the new period after the current one ends, so you never lose time you already paid for.

Refunds. If a paid plan did not work as described, or you were charged by mistake, contact support@dynamogeeks.com within 7 days of the charge and we will review it with Dodo Payments. A Showcase placement that is rejected at admin review before it runs is refunded in full.

While Dodo Payments is not yet connected for live charges, buy buttons on the site will say "Coming soon" or point you to info@playxoft.com instead of charging you; nothing is ever charged silently or by accident.

A Showcase placement is always labelled "Sponsored", with every link marked rel="sponsored". It appears as its own card in a feed or beside the leaderboard; it is never a post, never inside an answer, never part of a ranking or a "top" list, and it never earns reputation. Every Showcase campaign is reviewed by a human before it goes live. See /advertise for what we do and do not accept.

Recruiter search only shows members who have switched on "open to work" themselves; it is opt-in, and a member can switch it off at any time. If you use a Recruiter account:

• Contact candidates only through the in-app message feature, never by scraping or guessing an email address from elsewhere on the site.
• Use what you learn about a candidate only to evaluate them for a genuine role, not to build a mailing list, resell, or share with anyone outside your hiring process.
• Do not misrepresent the role, company or compensation when reaching out.
• Respect a candidate who asks not to be contacted again.

Breaking these obligations can result in losing Recruiter access, with no refund for the remaining period.

If you believe content on Dynamo Geeks infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@dynamogeeks.com with:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
• The exact URL(s) of the content on Dynamo Geeks you are reporting.
• Your contact information (name, address, phone, email).
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We will review valid notices and remove or disable access to infringing content. Whoever posted it may be notified and, where our process allows it, may submit a counter-notice. Repeat infringers can lose their account under Suspension and termination.

You can stop using Dynamo Geeks at any time, and can ask us to delete your account as described in our privacy policy. We may suspend or terminate your access, remove content, or restrict features if you break these terms, our community guidelines, or the law, or if we reasonably believe your account is being used to harm the site or other members. Where practical we will tell you why; a serious or repeated breach may mean we act without advance notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law) continue to apply.

Dynamo Geeks is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free. Content posted by members, including technical advice, code and answers, reflects their own views and experience, not ours; we do not verify its accuracy and you use it at your own risk. Nothing on the site is professional, legal, financial or medical advice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Playxoft Studios Private Limited will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of Dynamo Geeks, even if we were advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) ₹5,000 (or the equivalent in your local currency). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Playxoft Studios Private Limited, its officers and employees from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of Dynamo Geeks will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

We may update these terms as the product changes. We will update the "last updated" date above, and for material changes (new fees, a new category of paid product, a meaningful change to your rights) we will also say so in the app or by email before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Dynamo Geeks after a change takes effect means you accept it.

Questions about these terms: email support@dynamogeeks.com or write to Playxoft Studios Private Limited, 19B/1, Ananthapettai Street, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu 631501, India, or call +91 94980 98733.

Is Dynamo Geeks free?

Yes. Posting, reading, asking questions, answering, chatting and joining topics are free, with no limit tied to payment. Pro, Recruiter and Showcase are optional paid add-ons described below; nothing about your reputation, rank or visibility in answers can be bought.

Do Pro, Recruiter and Showcase renew automatically?

No. Every plan is a one-time pass for a fixed period (a month, a year, a week, and so on). None of them renew automatically. When a pass ends, you simply stop having that plan until you buy another one; buying again before the current pass ends adds the new period on top rather than restarting the clock.

Who actually charges my card?

Dodo Payments does, as the merchant of record for every paid product on Dynamo Geeks. Your payment method, any sales tax or VAT/GST, and your receipt all come from Dodo Payments, not directly from Playxoft Studios Private Limited.

Can I get a refund?

Contact us within 7 days of a purchase if a paid plan did not work as described or you were charged in error, and we will review it. Because every plan is a short, non-renewing pass rather than a long commitment, we do not offer pro-rated refunds for simply changing your mind partway through a period you are already using.
