Welcome to TalkLive. TalkLive is an online platform that allows users to communicate with other users through random text and live audio conversations over the internet. By accessing, browsing, registering for, or otherwise using TalkLive, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms & Conditions ("Terms").

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and TalkLive. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use TalkLive. Your continued use of TalkLive after any updates to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

1. Eligibility

TalkLive is intended solely for adults. By using TalkLive, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age.
• You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
• You are not prohibited from using our services under any applicable law.
• All information you provide during registration is accurate, truthful, and complete.

Users under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited from using TalkLive. TalkLive reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate any account that is believed to belong to a person under the age of 18 or any user who has provided false information regarding their identity or age.

2. Acceptance of Risk

TalkLive connects users with strangers from around the world. You acknowledge that:

• Every conversation occurs between independent users.
• TalkLive does not verify the identity, age, intentions, honesty, gender, or background of users.
• Other users may provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information.
• Your interactions with other users are entirely voluntary and at your own risk.

You are solely responsible for exercising your own judgment before trusting, communicating with, or sharing any information with another user.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, users may create an account or sign in using supported authentication methods, including Google Sign-In. You agree that:

• All information you submit is accurate.
• You will keep your login credentials secure.
• You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account.
• You will immediately notify TalkLive if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

TalkLive reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information, impersonate another person, violate these Terms, or are used for fraudulent or unlawful purposes.

4. Google Sign-In

TalkLive may allow users to authenticate using Google. By choosing Google Sign-In, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Authentication is provided by Google.
• Your use of Google services is subject to Google's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

5. Description of the Service

TalkLive is a web-based stranger communication platform. The platform may include features such as random audio chat, random text chat, user accounts, Google Sign-In, gender preference filters, reporting tools, moderation tools, profile settings, and other features introduced in future updates. TalkLive reserves the right to modify, remove, suspend, discontinue, or introduce any feature at any time without prior notice.

6. Temporary Free Service

TalkLive is currently provided free of charge for research, development, testing, user growth, community building, and platform improvement. The availability of free access does not create any obligation for TalkLive to continue offering the service free of charge. TalkLive reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to introduce premium subscriptions, offer paid features, display advertisements, limit certain features, restrict usage, introduce usage limits, modify pricing, or charge fees for existing or future services. Nothing in these Terms guarantees permanent free access.

7. Gender Filters

TalkLive may offer optional gender-based matching preferences. You understand and agree that gender information is self-declared by users, TalkLive does not verify gender identities, gender filters are provided solely as a convenience feature, and TalkLive makes no guarantee regarding the accuracy of another user's stated gender. Users are solely responsible for deciding whether to continue interacting with another user.

8. WebRTC Technology

TalkLive uses WebRTC and related internet technologies to facilitate live communication between users. To the best of our system architecture, live audio conversations are transmitted directly between connected users and are not recorded, stored, monitored, or listened to by TalkLive. TalkLive does not archive the contents of live audio conversations. However, no internet technology can guarantee absolute security or uninterrupted transmission. Users acknowledge that internet communications involve inherent risks, including technical failures, interruptions, unauthorized access resulting from compromised devices or networks, and circumstances beyond TalkLive's reasonable control.

9. User Responsibilities

You agree to use TalkLive responsibly and lawfully. You are solely responsible for your conversations, your conduct, information you share, content you send, decisions you make while using the platform, and compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. You understand that conversations on TalkLive occur between private individuals and that you alone are responsible for the consequences of your interactions.

10. Personal Safety

For your own safety, you should never disclose sensitive personal information to strangers, including but not limited to your home address, workplace, school, financial information, credit or debit card information, passwords, one-time verification codes, government-issued identification numbers, passport information, driver's license details, banking credentials, exact real-time location, or private family information. TalkLive cannot recover information voluntarily shared with another user and accepts no responsibility for consequences arising from such disclosures. Always exercise caution when communicating with strangers online.

11. Acceptable Use

By using TalkLive, you agree to use the platform responsibly, respectfully, and only for lawful purposes. You agree that you will not use TalkLive in any manner that could interfere with the rights, safety, privacy, or enjoyment of other users or the operation of the platform. You remain solely responsible for every message, audio conversation, profile detail, username, and any other content or activity associated with your account.

TalkLive maintains zero tolerance for child exploitation or any content involving minors. Where legally required, such activity may be reported to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

14. Sexual Content

TalkLive is not intended to be an adult entertainment platform. Users must not request sexual services, solicit prostitution, exchange explicit sexual content, engage in sexually explicit harassment, pressure another user into sexual conversations, share obscene material, or request or distribute pornographic content. Consensual discussions between adults may still be subject to moderation if they violate these Terms or applicable laws.

15. Privacy Between Users

Users should exercise caution when interacting with strangers. Never assume another user is who they claim to be. Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking credentials, personal documents, sensitive photographs, government-issued identification, passwords, or verification codes. TalkLive cannot verify the honesty or identity of other users and is not responsible for losses resulting from interactions between users.

16. Recording Conversations

TalkLive does not record, listen to, monitor, or store live audio conversations transmitted through its WebRTC infrastructure. However, users acknowledge that other participants may independently record conversations using third-party software or external devices. Where permitted by applicable law, users are solely responsible for complying with all laws relating to recording conversations. Users must not secretly record conversations where doing so would violate applicable laws. TalkLive accepts no responsibility for recordings made independently by users or third parties outside the TalkLive platform.

17. Reports and Moderation

Users are encouraged to report violations of these Terms. TalkLive reserves the right, but is not obligated, to investigate reports and take appropriate action, including warning a user, restricting platform features, temporarily suspending an account, permanently terminating an account, blocking IP addresses or devices where reasonably necessary to protect the platform, or cooperating with law enforcement when legally required. Moderation decisions are made at TalkLive's sole discretion.

18. Intellectual Property

All software, source code, algorithms, website designs, user interfaces, graphics, logos, branding, trademarks, text, and other proprietary materials associated with TalkLive are owned by TalkLive or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, users may not copy, modify, reproduce, redistribute, sell, license, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from any part of TalkLive.

23. Third-Party Services

TalkLive may use third-party providers to operate certain parts of the service, including but not limited to Google authentication, cloud hosting, analytics services, security services, content delivery services, database providers, and payment providers (if introduced in the future). These third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. TalkLive is not responsible for the availability, security, accuracy, or practices of third-party services beyond our reasonable control.
