Terms of Service

Last updated: May 22, 2026

TL;DR: Don't use SALT for illegal activity. We provide the tool — you're responsible for how you use it. We can't read your messages, and we don't want to.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SALT ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may update these terms at any time — continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

2. Description of Service

SALT is an end-to-end encrypted messaging application. Encrypted segments are encrypted on your device using NaCl cryptography (Curve25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305). We cannot read, access, or decrypt your messages. The Service includes features such as Panic Mode, Decoy Mode, Privacy Toggle, Dead Man's Switch, and Anti-Blocking technology.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use SALT. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement. The Service is currently invite-only — you need a valid invite code to register.

4. Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials
You are responsible for all activity under your account
You must not share your invite codes for commercial purposes
If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use SALT to:

Engage in any activity that violates applicable laws
Distribute malware, spam, or phishing content
Harass, threaten, or abuse other users
Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the application
Exploit the Service for any purpose other than personal, lawful communication

We believe in privacy as a fundamental right. We built SALT to protect legitimate private communication — not to enable harm.

6. Privacy

Your privacy is our architecture, not just a feature. For full details on what data we collect (minimal) and what we don't (your messages), see our Privacy Policy.

7. Encryption & Data

End-to-end encryption: Messages are encrypted on your device. We hold no decryption keys.
Zero-knowledge architecture: We cannot comply with requests to produce message content because we don't have it.
Self-destruct features: Panic Mode, Dead Man's Switch, and Remote Kill Switch permanently destroy data. Destroyed data cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

8. Intellectual Property

SALT, its logo, design, and technology are owned by SALT. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the application without written permission. Your content remains yours — we claim no ownership over messages or files you send through the Service.

9. Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance, updates, or modifications at any time. The Anti-Blocking system is designed to maintain connectivity, but we cannot guarantee access in all jurisdictions.

10. Limitation of Liability

SALT is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law:

We are not liable for any data loss resulting from the use of self-destruct features (Panic Mode, Dead Man's Switch, Remote Kill Switch) — these work exactly as designed
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the last 12 months

11. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Upon termination, your encryption keys are deleted and any remaining data is purged. This is irreversible.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which SALT operates. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration.
