nvira is meant to be an open place to post and talk about pretty much anything. We're not going to police your opinions or your taste. But a handful of things are flatly illegal to host — child sexual abuse material, credible threats of violence, doxxing, non-consensual intimate images, and illegal goods/services — and those get removed and reported, no exceptions.
You keep ownership of what you post; you're just giving us permission to display it. Adult content is allowed but walled off behind an 18+ confirmation. We can remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules, and we're not liable for what other users post. Full details below.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and nvira, operated by ponko ("we", "us", "the Operator"), governing your access to and use of nvira.sbs, its chat features, and related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use the general (non-adult) areas of the Service, and you represent that you have your parent's or legal guardian's permission to use it if that's required where you live.
Access to adult/NSFW areas of the Service (see Section 6) is restricted to users who are at least 18 years old and who affirmatively confirm their age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we will terminate it.
You're responsible for the security of your account, including your password, and for everything that happens under your account. Use a real, working email address so we can reach you about your account (e.g. verification, security, or moderation notices). Don't share your login with anyone else, and tell us right away if you think your account's been compromised.
You may not create an account for the purpose of evading a ban or suspension, impersonate another real person without clearly labeling a parody/fan account as such, or use automated means (bots, scrapers) to create accounts in bulk.
"Your Content" means anything you post, upload, or send through the Service — posts, comments, images, messages, and anything else. You own your content. We don't take ownership of it just because you posted it here.
To operate the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute Your Content solely as necessary to run, maintain, and improve the Service (for example: showing your post to other users, generating thumbnails/previews, or keeping backups). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except where content has been shared with, or reported by, other users, or where we're required to retain it (e.g. for a legal hold or an active moderation case).
You're solely responsible for Your Content and for having the rights to post it. You represent that Your Content doesn't infringe anyone else's rights and doesn't violate these Terms or applicable law.
Private messages: direct messages and group chats on nvira are end-to-end encrypted by default — see our encryption explainer for how that works and its current limits (for example, attachments in chat aren't encrypted yet). Because encrypted message content isn't something we can technically access, the content-moderation tools described in this document apply to it only to the extent a participant reports it to us directly.
nvira exists to be an open place to post and talk about pretty much anything — we're not in the business of policing opinions, taste, or how you say things. That said, the following is prohibited on the Service, without exception, because it's illegal, creates serious legal exposure for us and other users, or causes real harm:
Outside of the above, we intentionally keep our content rules minimal. Anything else — including content that's rude, offensive, explicit (see Section 6), controversial, or that other users simply dislike — is allowed unless it falls into one of the categories above or otherwise violates the law.
Sexually explicit or graphic content is allowed only within areas of the Service that are gated behind an 18+ age confirmation, and only where it's clearly fictional, or depicts real, identifiable, consenting adults. It must never depict, imply, or be styled to resemble a minor. It must be tagged/flagged appropriately so it doesn't appear outside age-gated areas. Non-consensual, exploitative, or otherwise illegal sexual content is prohibited everywhere on the Service, adult-gated or not (see Section 5).
We respect intellectual property rights and expect you to as well. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, you can send a takedown notice to our designated agent at [email protected] under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). To be effective, your notice must include:
Upon receiving a valid notice, we'll remove or disable access to the material and notify the user who posted it. That user may submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, containing their signature, identification of the removed material and its prior location, a statement under penalty of perjury that they have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error, their contact information, and consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court. If a valid counter-notice is received, we may restore the content within 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action first.
We terminate the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to review, remove, or restrict access to any content, and to warn, suspend, or permanently ban any account, at our discretion — including for violating these Terms, at the request of law enforcement or legal process, or to protect the Service and its users. We try to be proportionate: minor or first-time issues are typically handled with a warning or temporary suspension before a permanent ban, but we reserve the right to act immediately and without warning for severe violations (like anything in Section 5).
Moderation decisions are made at our discretion and, while we aim to be fair, these Terms don't entitle you to a particular outcome, explanation, or appeal process for any specific moderation action.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or content posted by users that we don't control. We're not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site, and linking to something doesn't mean we endorse it.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any or no reason, including for violating these Terms. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. Sections 4, 7, 11–13, and 15) will continue to apply after your account is closed.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. WE DON'T VET, ENDORSE, OR GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF CONTENT POSTED BY USERS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT POSTED BY OTHER USERS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT ANY LIABILITY ISN'T EXCLUDED, THE OPERATOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DON'T ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the Operator harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page and, where practical, post a notice on the Service. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms or your account without our consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with any policies referenced in them, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
