terms_of_service

by using voidly, you agree to these terms. if you don't agree, don't use the service. simple as that.

[!] this is beta research software. it may break. it may have bugs. it's not audited by third parties. if you need proven privacy, use tor browser.

voidly is an experimental research project training an ai to defeat internet censorship.

this is not:

• • a commercial product
• • a guaranteed service (no sla)
• • a replacement for tor (we're not anonymous)
• • a way to hide illegal activity (don't)

this is:

• • research contribution model (use tools, contribute data)
• • open source (mit license)
• • privacy-focused (zero-knowledge)
• • in active development (expect changes)

voidly operates as a censorship research project.

the value exchange:

• • you get: vpn, encrypted email, calendar, contacts
• • we get: anonymous performance metrics to train our ai
• • world gets: public censorship intelligence and research findings

no subscriptions, no paywalls, no premium tiers. your connections train the model.

the code is open source (mit license)—fork it, run your own nodes, keep the mission alive.

by using voidly, you agree to:

• • comply with laws: don't use voidly for illegal activities in your jurisdiction
• • respect others: no hacking, spamming, or abuse of other services
• • no malicious use: don't attack other networks or users
• • provide feedback: report bugs, censorship events, and issues (helps train the ai)
• • understand risks: this is beta software—use at your own risk

we reserve the right to terminate access if you abuse the system or violate these terms.

voidly is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

we make no guarantees about:

• • uptime or availability
• • connection speed or quality
• • success in bypassing censorship
• • security or privacy (though we do our best)
• • fitness for any particular purpose

the service may be interrupted, slow, or unavailable at any time. we're building this, not selling it—so expectations should match that reality.

to the maximum extent permitted by law, voidly and its operators are not liable for:

• • data loss or corruption
• • service interruptions or downtime
• • legal consequences in your jurisdiction
• • third-party actions (censors, isps, governments)
• • any damages arising from use of the service

use voidly at your own risk. we're not responsible for what happens when you use it.

by using voidly, you consent to anonymous telemetry collection for ai training.

see our privacy policy for full details.

tl;dr: we collect performance metrics (latency, success rates, censorship events). we don't collect browsing history, real ips, or personal information.

voidly's code is licensed under the mit license.

this means:

• • you can fork it, modify it, and run your own network
• • you can use it commercially (though we don't)
• • you must include the original license and copyright notice
• • there's no warranty (see section 5)

we may terminate or suspend access to voidly at any time, for any reason, without notice.

reasons we might do this:

• • abuse of the service (spam, attacks, illegal activity)
• • technical reasons (server costs, legal pressure)
• • end of the research project

but: since the code is open source, the project can continue even if we shut down. fork it. run your own nodes. the mission lives on.

we may update these terms as the project evolves. changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date.

continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.

these terms are governed by the laws of the united states and the state of california.

disputes will be resolved in the courts of california, usa.

for users outside the us: your local consumer protection laws may also apply.

voidly may send sms notifications to phone numbers you provide when sending encrypted messages.

by providing a phone number as a message recipient:

• • you confirm you have obtained consent from the recipient to send them sms notifications
• • you agree to comply with all applicable sms and telecommunications regulations (tcpa, can-spam, etc.)
• • sms notifications contain only secure links to view encrypted content - no message content is transmitted via sms
• • standard sms rates may apply for recipients
• • recipients can stop receiving messages by not providing their phone number to senders
• • voidly is not responsible for misuse of the sms notification feature
