Terms of Service
Last updated: January 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using Voidly, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.
Beta Software: This is experimental research software. It may break, have bugs, and hasn't been audited by third parties. For proven privacy, use Tor Browser.
2. What Voidly Is
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
This is:
- Research contribution model (use tools, contribute data)
- Open source (MIT license)
- Privacy-focused (zero-knowledge)
- In active development (expect changes)
3. Research Contribution Model
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.
4. Your Responsibilities
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
- 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.
5. No Warranty
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—expectations should match that reality.
6. Limitation of Liability
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.
7. Telemetry & Data Collection
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.
8. Open Source License
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)

9. Termination
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.
10. Changes to Terms
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.
11. Governing Law
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.
12. SMS Notifications
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
- You agree to comply with all applicable SMS and telecommunications regulations (TCPA, CAN-SPAM, etc.)
- SMS notifications contain only secure links—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
