communicate or contribute, and you, not the Company, have full responsibility
for such content, including its legality, compliance, reliability, accuracy,
and appropriateness.

The Company is not liable for the actions or conduct of any user, whether online
or offline. Users are solely responsible for their interactions and must exercise
appropriate caution when communicating with people, especially if offline. We
do not encourage offline communication or meeting in real life. If you must insist
on engaging offline, we strongly recommend that users take all necessary precautions
to ensure their safety in any offline interactions, including but not limited
to meeting in public places, informing friends or family of their whereabouts,
and conducting their own research into the background of other users. WE ARE
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM, LOSS, OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM OFFLINE INTERACTIONS
BETWEEN USERS.
D. Steaming content
The Service provides functionality allowing users to stream/broadcast using their
webcams. It is possible that other users might, without your permission, unlawfully
record, make copies of, store, re-broadcast, distribute, publish or otherwise
share your broadcast online or through other media forms. You assume all risk
for your broadcasts and hereby release and agree to indemnify and hold us harmless
for all actions arising out of such activities, including without limitation
invasion of privacy, defamation, and/or intellectual property infringement.
Monitoring and enforcement of user interactions
A. Monitoring
We reserve the right to monitor User Interactions in our sole discretion and
take any action with respect thereto that we deem necessary or appropriate, including
if we believe that any User Interaction violates these Terms, infringes any intellectual
property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal
safety of any person, or could create liability for the Company, as determined
in our sole discretion. While we reserve the right to monitor User Interactions,
we do not confirm any user, or their purported identity. We do not endorse any
user and you are solely responsible for determining the suitability of any user
you interact with.
B. AI moderation
Our Service employs advanced real-time AI moderation to help enforce our rules
and policies, specifically targeting behavior that may be harmful or inappropriate.
The AI system actively monitors user interactions, and in the event that it detects
any violation, a detailed report is generated. This report includes the violating
user’s information, such as their IP address, and captures a screenshot of their
communication or a picture if they are webcasting. We reserve the right to permanently
ban any user found violating these Terms. While we strive for accuracy in AI
moderation, it is not infallible. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable
for any errors or omissions in AI moderation or for any loss or damage incurred
as a result of its use.
C. Law enforcement
We may disclose any information monitored by us, including without limitation,
any referral to law enforcement for any illegal activities conducted through
the Service. We do not endorse any illegal activities conducted through the Service.
We reserve the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities
or court orders directing us to disclose any information obtained through the
Service, whether or not such information is legally compelled, in our sole discretion.
YOU WAIVE AND HOLD THE COMPANY HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION
TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS
BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
We proactively work with and promptly report all violations of law involving
minors and sexual exploitation to appropriate law enforcement agencies, including
but not limited to local law enforcement, the FBI, and the NCMEC. We have zero
tolerance for such violations - any person engaging in any type of the prohibited
conduct discussed above or elsewhere in these Terms will be permanently blocked
from our Service, reported to authorities, and we will fully cooperate with law
enforcement by providing all available information, evidence, and assistance
to fully support the investigation and prosecution of such violations of the
law.
For law enforcement agencies needing to contact us regarding any information
we may have regarding cases involving minors, or sex trafficking, exploitation,
or any related matters of any person, please reach out to us directly at LEO[at]thundr.com.
D. Reporting misconduct
We strive to ensure User Interactions comply with these Terms, but acknowledge
that our capabilities have limitations. Users are encouraged to report any inappropriate
behavior, harassment, abuse, or violations of these Terms by reporting such abuse
within any User Interaction by clicking the “Report” and flag icon and/or reaching
out to our support team at abuse[at]thundr.com.
In-service purchases
From time to time, you may make a purchase of a limited, personal, non-transferable,
non-sublicensable, revocable license to use or access special limited-use features
including but not limited to credits redeemable on virtual items, such as our
“Boost” functionality (“Enhancements”). Purchases are made using the Payment
Method you provide through the Service. Enhancements represent a limited license
right governed by these Terms, and, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable
law, no title or ownership in or to Enhancements is being transferred or assigned
to you. This Section should not be construed as a sale of any rights in Enhancements.
Any Enhancements balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world
balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of
the extent of your license. Enhancements do not incur fees for non-use; however,
the license granted to you will terminate in accordance with the terms of these
Terms, on the earlier of when we cease providing our Service.
If you make a purchase, you agree to pay the prices displayed to you for the
Services you’ve selected as well as any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed
on your payments (and as may change from time to time), and you authorize the
Company, using its third-party payment processors, to charge the payment method
you provide (your “Payment Method”). We may correct any billing errors or mistakes
even if we have already requested or received payment. If you initiate a chargeback
or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, you will remain
responsible for the payment amounts.
ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF ENHANCEMENTS MADE THROUGH OUR SERVICES ARE FINAL
AND NON-REFUNDABLE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE
A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION
FOR UNUSED ENHANCEMENTS.

All matters relating to the Service and these Terms, and any dispute or claim

conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Arizona or any other

Except as otherwise required by Section 17 below, any legal suit, action, or
proceeding arising out of, or related to these Terms or the Service will be instituted
exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State

Class action waiver; arbitration; jury trial waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN
YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
B. Arbitration agreement
To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, you and the Company each
agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these
Terms of Service or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity
thereof or the use of the Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved
solely by final and binding, individual arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration
of the American Arbitration Association applying Arizona law located in Phoenix,
AZ. Notwithstanding the forgoing, (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in
small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the
infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability,
unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration
Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement
is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class
Action Waiver” section above. This Section does not preclude either party from

THROUGH ARBITRATION, BOTH PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE
ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM.
THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ALL MATTERS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE,
AND ENCOMPASSES ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
