Terms of Service
Last updated: 8 November 2026
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By creating an account or using Sonar, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Sonar. You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) to use Sonar.
2. Acceptable use
You must not use Sonar for unlawful behaviour, harassment, hate, threats, impersonation, spam, fraud, or sharing illegal, non-consensual, or harmful content. You must not attempt to disrupt, abuse, or circumvent Sonar, its security, or other users. Reported content may be reviewed and removed.
3. User-generated content and safe harbor
You are responsible for content you post. Sonar hosts user-generated content and does not pre-screen every message. We act on reports of unlawful or abusive content, including by removing content and suspending accounts. Nothing here makes Sonar the author or owner of your content.
4. Message security disclaimer
Direct messages and calls are secured where available. That protection does not cover content once a recipient shares it, screenshots it, or if a device is compromised. If your keys are lost, secured messages cannot be recovered by Sonar.
5. Termination and bans
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, including for harassment, unlawful behaviour, or abuse of the service, with or without prior notice. You may stop using Sonar at any time. Termination does not remove your liability for conduct before termination.
6. Limitation of liability
Sonar is provided 'as is' and 'as available', without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sonar and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, lost data, or interruptions. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Sonar in the 12 months before the claim, or $10 if you paid nothing.
7. Dispute resolution
Try to resolve disputes by contacting us first. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction where Sonar operates, as permitted by local law. Nothing here limits mandatory consumer rights in your jurisdiction.
8. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be shown in the app, and continued use after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
