Frequently Asked Questions About Our Terms

The questions below cover the points most commonly raised about account rights, data handling and how these terms operate for users in India.

These terms take effect the moment you complete account registration on 9gag. Continuing to use the platform after any published update constitutes acceptance of the revised version in force at that time.

We will publish any material change on this page and, where practical, notify you via your registered email at least seven days before the change takes effect. Minor clarifications may be made without advance notice.

A breach may result in suspension or permanent closure of your account, at our discretion. Any wallet balance that is not subject to an ongoing dispute will be returned to you via your verified payment method after a review period.

These terms are governed by applicable Indian law. Disputes that cannot be resolved through our internal process may be referred to the competent courts in the jurisdiction where you hold your account, as permitted by local statute.

Send a data-access request by email, quoting your account ID and the specific data categories you are asking about. We will respond within the period required by applicable Indian data-protection rules, typically 30 days.

The payment conditions within these terms apply to all wallet activity, including deposits and withdrawals via UPI, Paytm and PhonePe. Each payment provider also operates its own terms, which apply independently of ours.

Submit a written closure request through live chat or email support. Once verified, your account is deactivated, remaining wallet funds are returned to your payment method, and personal data is queued for deletion under our retention schedule.
