Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-08-31

These terms form the agreement between you and the company operating Vutalk ("Vutalk", "we") regarding your use of the Vutalk app and related services. By using the service you accept these terms.

1. Eligibility and registration

You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough under the law where you live, to use Vutalk. Registering requires an email address that can receive a verification code. We do not ask for a phone number.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your device, your device lock and your recovery credentials secure. Because content is end-to-end encrypted, we cannot recover lost messages or backup keys for you — no support request can work around this, so keep those credentials somewhere you will still have them.

One account belongs to one person. Do not share it, and do not use it on behalf of someone who is barred from the service.

3. Acceptable use

When using Vutalk, you agree not to:

• engage in unlawful activity, or publish or distribute unlawful content;
• send spam, conduct bulk unsolicited promotion, or commit fraud;
• harass or threaten others, or distribute hate speech;
• distribute content that sexualises minors, or groom or sexually extort a minor;
• interfere with, probe or attempt to compromise the integrity, security or availability of the service;
• access the service through unauthorised automation, or circumvent access limits or quotas;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation.

We cannot read your messages, so enforcement rests on reports and on signals visible without reading content. How to report abuse

4. Paid features

Some features may require payment. Prices and billing periods are shown at the time of purchase. For purchases made through the App Store, payment, renewal and refunds are handled under Apple's terms. Except where the law requires otherwise, fees paid are non-refundable.

5. Intellectual property

The Vutalk name, logo and interface belong to us and are protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you no right to use our trademarks. Content you send remains yours; you grant us only the limited licence needed to deliver it.

Vutalk's clients and server include open-source software distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3. Nothing in these terms limits the rights that licence grants you in that code, and the applicable notices are included with the app. Source code requests

6. Export controls

Vutalk contains cryptography and is subject to export control laws. You agree not to use, export or re-export it in violation of those laws, and not to use it if you are located in an embargoed territory or are on a restricted-party list.

7. Changes and suspension

We may add to, change or discontinue parts of the service. We may limit or end your access if you breach these terms, or where doing so is necessary to protect the service and its other users. You may delete your account and stop using the service at any time.

8. Disclaimer

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or perfectly secure.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or USD 100 if you paid nothing. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Updates to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be flagged in the app or on this page before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after a change is published means you accept the updated terms.

11. General

If a provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our not enforcing a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you. These terms are the entire agreement between us about the service.
