Banter

// Legal · Updated 8 November 2026

Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use Banter, a chat app for messaging people and groups. By creating an account, or by continuing as a guest, you agree to them. “We” means whoever runs this Banter server. Please also read the Privacy Policy, which explains what we do with your information.

Your account

  • You must be at least 13 years old to use Banter.
  • Give your real email address, keep your password to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else is using your account.
  • One account is for one person. You are responsible for what is sent from your account.

Guest accounts

A guest account lets you try Banter without signing up. It is temporary and limited: it can send a limited number of messages and files, it can only talk to its demo friends and the people it invites, and it is permanently deleted, with everything in it, after 24 hours. Create an account to keep chatting.

Your content

What you send is yours. You give us permission to store it, copy it and show it to the people you send it to, only so that Banter can work — for example to deliver a message to every device of everyone in a chat. That permission ends when the content is deleted, except for copies other people already received in their chats.

You must have the right to send what you send.

What you must not do

  • Break the law, or send anything illegal.
  • Harass, threaten, bully or abuse anyone, or encourage violence or self-harm.
  • Send spam, scams, or unwanted messages in bulk.
  • Share sexual content involving anyone under 18, or anyone's private images without their consent.
  • Pretend to be someone else, or mislead people about who you are.
  • Send malware, or try to get into accounts or systems that are not yours.
  • Get around Banter's limits, blocks or security, scrape it, or put an unreasonable load on it — for example with scripts or many accounts.

Reports and enforcement

You can report a message, a person or a group from inside the app. We may review reports, remove content, and limit, suspend or close accounts that break these terms. Where it is safe and lawful, we will tell you why.

The service

We work to keep Banter running and your messages safe, but it is provided “as is”: we cannot promise it will always be available, free of errors, or that nothing will ever be lost. We may change, add or remove features. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

Ending

You can delete your account at any time from Settings; the Privacy Policy explains what happens to your data. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or if we stop running Banter, in which case we will try to give notice.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or unforeseeable losses, for what other people send you, or for losses caused by things outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have by law that cannot be limited.

Changes

If these terms change, the date at the top changes too. If a change matters, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Using Banter after that means you accept the new terms.
