Terms of Service

Last updated: 22 May 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Eastwood Media, a company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa, operator of Ome.gg ("Ome.gg", "we", "us", or "our"). The Terms govern your access to and use of the website located at https://ome.gg and any associated services, applications, and features (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Eligibility

1.1. Minimum age. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to access or use the Service. The Service is strictly not intended for minors, and we do not knowingly collect information from or provide services to anyone under 18.

1.2. Representation of age. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, that you have the full legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that all information you provide is accurate. Misrepresenting your age is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination, legal action, and reporting to relevant authorities.

1.3. Parental responsibility. If we become aware that a User is under 18, we will terminate the account and delete associated data. Parents or guardians who become aware that a minor under their care is using the Service must contact us at [email protected], and we will take prompt remedial action. Parents and guardians indemnify us for losses arising from a minor's misuse of the Service under their care.

1.4. Sanctioned jurisdictions. You may not use the Service if you are located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to comprehensive trade sanctions by the European Union, United Kingdom, or United States, or if you are on any government list of prohibited persons.

2. Account and identity

2.1. Anonymous-first. Ome.gg is designed to be used anonymously. You may use the Service with an auto-generated handle without providing personal information, subject to the limitations below.

2.2. Optional email linkage. You may optionally link an email address to preserve your handle, friend list, and history across sessions and devices. You are responsible for maintaining the security of any linked email address and any associated authentication credentials.

2.3. Single user per session. Each account is for the use of one natural person. You may not share access with others, transfer your account, or operate multiple accounts to evade restrictions or moderation actions.

2.4. Account responsibility. You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account or session, including activity by anyone who accesses your linked email or device. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Acceptable use

You agree to comply with our Community Guidelines, which form part of these Terms. Without limiting those guidelines, you agree that you will not:

3.1. Use the Service to harass, bully, threaten, stalk, defame, intimidate, or incite violence against any person or group;

3.2. Engage in, request, distribute, or solicit child sexual abuse material ("CSAM"), grooming behavior, or any other sexual content involving minors. This is an absolute prohibition and will result in immediate permanent ban, preservation of evidence, and reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and applicable law enforcement;

3.3. Engage in doxxing, sharing of others' personal information, non-consensual intimate imagery ("revenge porn"), sextortion, or any conduct intended to violate another person's privacy or safety;

3.4. Transmit content that is hateful, racist, discriminatory, or that targets individuals or groups on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristic;

3.5. Solicit, promote, or arrange any illegal activity, including the sale or distribution of controlled substances, weapons, stolen goods, illegal services, or trafficked persons;

3.6. Send spam, advertise, or solicit commercial activity without our prior written consent; engage in scams, fraud, phishing, or impersonation; or distribute malware or harmful code;

3.7. Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;

3.8. Record, capture, screenshot, or otherwise reproduce voice or text content of another User without that User's express consent. You acknowledge that recording another User without consent may be illegal in your jurisdiction and is a violation of these Terms regardless of legality;

3.9. Use the Service to develop, train, or improve any artificial intelligence model, dataset, or competing service, including by scraping, harvesting, or systematically extracting content;

3.10. Interfere with, disrupt, reverse-engineer, decompile, probe, or attempt to circumvent the security, moderation, rate limiting, or technical operation of the Service;

3.11. Use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law, including data protection laws, communications laws (such as wiretap and two-party-consent recording laws), export controls, or sanctions.

Violations of section 3.2 (CSAM/minor exploitation) will result in immediate permanent ban, evidence preservation, NCMEC reporting, and cooperation with law enforcement.

4. Voice chat — specific consent and rules

4.1. Consent to voice processing. When using the voice chat feature, you consent to the real-time transmission of your audio to other Users matched with you, and to our processing of your audio for connectivity, quality, and safety purposes (including spot-check moderation of flagged calls).

4.2. Recording prohibition. You may not record, capture, transcribe, or distribute audio of another User without that User's express consent obtained outside the Service. You acknowledge that in many jurisdictions (including, for example, California, Florida, Illinois, and other "two-party consent" jurisdictions), recording without consent is a criminal offense.

4.3. No recording by us by default. We do not record voice calls. We may transcribe and review audio only when (a) a User reports the call or another User in the call, (b) we have reasonable grounds to investigate a suspected violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) we are legally compelled to preserve evidence.

4.4. Wiretap law compliance. You represent that your participation in voice chat is lawful in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of voice chat complies with applicable wiretap, eavesdropping, and recording-consent laws.

5. User content

5.1. Your content, your responsibility. You are solely responsible for any text, voice, images, links, or other content you transmit through the Service ("User Content"). You represent and warrant that your User Content does not violate these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of any third party.

5.2. License to us. You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, transmit, display, copy, modify, and process your User Content solely to operate the Service, enforce these Terms, comply with legal obligations, and improve the safety and quality of the Service. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account, except where retention is required for safety, legal, or audit purposes (see section 9.3).

5.3. No content ownership claim. We do not claim ownership of your conversations and do not use your conversations to train or improve any third-party AI model.

5.4. Public-facing content. Any User Content you make publicly visible on the Service (for example, in a public profile field) may be cached or indexed by third parties and may persist outside the Service after deletion.

6. Moderation and enforcement

6.1. Our right to moderate. We reserve the right to moderate the Service, including the right to:

(a) screen, filter, block, or refuse to deliver User Content (including via automated systems and AI-based classifiers);

(b) suspend or terminate accounts and revoke access at our discretion;

(c) preserve content and metadata for the purposes of investigating violations, complying with legal process, and cooperating with law enforcement;

(d) report content and User information to law enforcement, regulatory authorities, NCMEC, and other relevant bodies in our discretion or as required by law.

6.2. Notice and action (EU users). If you are an EU user and you believe content on the Service is illegal under EU or member-state law, you may submit a notice via [email protected] with sufficient information to identify the content. We will acknowledge receipt and respond in accordance with the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065).

6.3. Appeals. If your account has been suspended or terminated and you believe this was in error, you may appeal by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of the action. We will review and respond within a reasonable time.

6.4. No obligation to monitor. Our right to moderate does not create an obligation to monitor all content, and we do not guarantee that all violating content will be detected or removed.

7. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and copyright

7.1. Copyright complaints. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent containing: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it is located on the Service; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Eastwood Media, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, or from interactions with other Users.

15. Dispute resolution and governing law

15.1. Governing law. These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

15.3. Arbitration (non-EU/UK Users). If you are not a resident of the European Union or United Kingdom, any unresolved dispute will be finally resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), seated in Cape Town, South Africa, conducted in English. You and we each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class or collective action. Either party may bring qualifying small claims in small-claims court.

15.4. EU/UK Users. If you are a resident of the EU or UK, nothing in this section limits your right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of habitual residence under mandatory consumer protection laws. You may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

15.5. 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration provision in section 15.3 by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

17.2. Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

17.3. No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver.

17.4. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

17.5. No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
