Welcome to 1v1.social ("1v1", "we", "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and 1v1 governing your access to and use of the website, application, and related services available at www.1v1.social (the "Service").
By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility & account
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 16 and located in a region of the European Economic Area or the UK that requires it, you confirm a parent or legal guardian has consented to your use of the Service.
You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account and to keep your password confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion to maintain the safety of the community.
You can create an account with a password or by signing in with Google ("Sign in with Google"). If you sign in with Google, you are additionally subject to Google's Terms of Service for the authentication flow itself. We use the verified email address and account identifier Google supplies to create or recognise your 1v1 account; we do not request access to any other Google service. See our Privacy Policy for the data we receive.
2. The Service
1v1 is a voice-first social application. Core features include random 1-on-1 voice matchmaking, direct messaging, public live audio rooms, short-form posts ("Spotlight"), 24-hour voice "Stories", friend connections, and a gamification system (XP, levels, streaks, and an in-app currency called Aura).
The Service is provided as-is and is offered free of charge to access. We may add, change, or remove features at any time without notice. Some features rely on third-party services (e.g. WebRTC peer connections, push notifications) which may be temporarily unavailable.
3. Your content
"User Content" means any content you post, transmit, upload, or otherwise make available through the Service — including profile information, posts, comments, direct messages, voice recordings, story audio, room chat, and reactions.
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content you grant 1v1 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and display that User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Service. This licence ends when you or we remove the content from the Service, except to the extent it has been shared with others who have not removed it.
You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content, and that posting it does not violate these Terms or the rights of any third party.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Harass, threaten, intimidate, dox, or stalk any person.
- Post or transmit content that is hateful, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, ableist, or that targets any protected group.
- Post or transmit sexual content involving minors. Any such content will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and applicable authorities.
- Post or transmit non-consensual intimate imagery, revenge porn, or sexual content involving anyone who has not clearly consented.
- Solicit, distribute, or facilitate sexual content involving anyone you cannot reasonably verify is an adult.
- Engage in or coordinate violent extremism, terrorism, or human trafficking.
- Promote self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders to others.
- Distribute malware, viruses, or other harmful code; phish for credentials; or otherwise compromise the security of the Service or its users.
- Scrape, crawl, mass-download, or otherwise extract data from the Service except as expressly permitted by published API terms.
- Attempt to bypass rate limits, anti-abuse systems, ban or moderation enforcement, or this account's age gate.
- Use the Service for unauthorised commercial purposes, advertising, spam, or to operate fake or impersonating accounts.
- Sell, trade, or transfer accounts or in-app currency outside the Service.
- Reverse-engineer the Service or attempt to derive its source code beyond what is necessary for normal use of the publicly distributed client.
5. Voice calls and live rooms
1v1 uses peer-to-peer WebRTC for 1-on-1 voice matchmaking. Audio in those calls is transmitted directly between the two participants and is not recorded or stored by 1v1 by default. We may capture limited metadata (call duration, participant IDs, end reason) for safety, anti-abuse, and analytics.
Live rooms route audio through 1v1 infrastructure to fan it out to listeners. Live-room audio is also not recorded by default; chat messages and reaction events sent in live rooms are stored on the server while the room is active and may be retained briefly afterwards for moderation purposes.
Voice messages in DMs and Stories are recorded by your device and uploaded to our storage provider. They are deleted from the Service when you delete the message or when their TTL expires (24 hours for Stories).
You agree not to record any voice content from another participant without that participant's express, contemporaneous consent. Doing so may violate applicable law, including all-party consent recording statutes in some jurisdictions.
6. Moderation, reports, suspensions
We take community safety seriously. We may, at our discretion:
- Remove, hide, or disable User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.
- Issue warnings, temporary suspensions, shadow bans, or permanent bans against accounts engaged in abuse.
- Apply automated detection (keyword filters, rate limits, abuse heuristics) and surface results to human moderators for review.
- Cooperate with law enforcement where legally required, including responding to lawful process.
If you believe an action against your account was taken in error, you may submit an appeal from the login screen. Appeals are reviewed by our team within a reasonable time.
7. Aura, perks, cosmetics
Aura is an in-app currency earned through activity, daily challenges, and milestone rewards. Aura has no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, and is not transferable between accounts. Aura you have spent on cosmetic items remains attached to that account; we may grant additional Aura as goodwill at our discretion but are not obligated to refund Aura under any circumstances except as required by applicable law.
Cosmetic perks (avatar frames, username styles, card glows, DM bubble themes, etc.) are licences to use the visual on the Service while your account is active. They are not transferable and do not represent ownership of any digital asset, NFT, or financial instrument.
8. Intellectual property
The Service itself — including the 1v1 name, logo, design, code, and all curated content provided by us — is owned by 1v1 or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or other brand features without our prior written consent.
9. Copyright complaints (DMCA)
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to abuse@1v1.social including:
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
- Identification of the material on the Service that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail (URL or post ID) for us to locate it.
- Your contact information (full name, address, telephone number, email).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
10. Termination
You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete Account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others, or if continued provision of the Service to you would harm the community.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership provisions, disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability — survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
1v1 connects you with other users. We do not control and are not responsible for the words, conduct, or content of other users. Use common sense; do not share personal information you do not want strangers to have.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, 1V1 SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation).
13. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do we will update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, give notice through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of those Terms.
14. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of England and Wales, except that consumers may have additional rights to bring claims in their country of residence under applicable law.
