ROMEO updates terms: more moderation detail, stricter conduct rules, account deletion after 12 months inactivity
ROMEO's updated Terms of Use (from 22 October 2026) add a content moderation article that covers automated and human review, a duty to give reasons when content or accounts are restricted, and consent rules for content showing other people. They also add inactivity rules (deactivation after 3 months, deletion after 12 months without login), a one-account limit, and explicit auto-renewal of card-paid subscriptions. The conduct list is expanded, but its core rules, group account transfers and the withdrawal waiver were already in the old terms.
Taken from you
- Must have consent from anyone identifiable in uploaded content, and content may be removed if consent seems missing
- Evading restrictions, suspensions or bans (including by creating alternative accounts) is now listed as a conduct violation, and each user may have only one Account.
- Accounts deactivated after 3 months and deleted after 12 months without login
- Content may be scanned by automated tools and human review before or after publication
- Card-paid premium (PLUS) subscriptions now explicitly renew automatically until the user cancels.
Won back
- Right to be informed of reasons and redress options when content or account is restricted, where legally allowed
- Clearer explanation of how reporting and moderation work
