SoundSlap Terms of Service

Effective September 7, 2026.

1. About These Terms

SoundSlap ("we," "us") is an independently operated service based in California, United States. These Terms govern the website, Twitch Extension, dashboard, audio library, and OBS overlay. SoundSlap is the service's public operating name. Send all service, legal, and privacy inquiries to soundslap.stream@gmail.com.

When you accept these Terms, you agree to follow them when using SoundSlap. Our Privacy Policy explains our data practices, and our Copyright and Rights Policy governs content complaints. You must be eligible to use Twitch and at least 13. Users below the age of majority need a parent or guardian's permission and supervision. If you act for someone else, you must have authority to do so.

2. Accounts and the Service

Broadcasters connect through Twitch and control their sounds, artwork, Bits values, cooldowns, volume, managers, and panel availability. Viewers select existing alerts; they cannot upload audio through the Extension. SoundSlap supports short sound effects and reactions, not music requests or jukebox use. Channel Points are not available in this release.

Protect your Twitch account, sessions, overlay URL, and manager access. Managers must use their own authorized accounts. Broadcasters are responsible for the permissions they grant and authorized activity on their channels. Report suspected unauthorized access promptly.

Twitch controls authentication, Bits eligibility, transaction confirmation, and payouts under its own terms. SoundSlap is independent of Twitch and does not receive your Twitch password. Twitch, KLIPY, OBS, and hosting services may have separate terms and availability limits.

3. Content and Permissions

You retain ownership of content you own. You are responsible for the sounds, artwork, names, and custom alerts you upload or select, and must have the rights or lawful basis needed for their configured use, including use on a monetized stream. A short clip, public-library listing, or successful upload is not proof of permission.

You grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, transcode, transmit, display, and perform your content as needed to provide and secure SoundSlap according to your settings. We may allow infrastructure providers to do this on our behalf. Marking a sound public also authorizes other SoundSlap broadcasters to use it through the Service. Making it private stops new public-library additions; existing channel selections may continue. Deleting the upload disables its use through the library; removing it from one profile does not delete the upload.

We may retain limited records or backup copies for security, transaction integrity, disputes, and legal obligations as described in the Privacy Policy. This license does not authorize unrelated advertising or sale of your content. We do not obtain third-party licenses for you or guarantee another user's content is cleared for your use.

4. Acceptable Use and Removal

Do not use SoundSlap for infringement, harassment, hate, threats, exploitation, unlawful disclosure of personal information, malware, impersonation, fraud, or violations of Twitch rules. Do not bypass authorization, moderation, pricing, transaction checks, or technical limits. Do not use Bits to request specific musical tracks or audiovisual works.

Review your uploads and library before enabling them. SoundSlap does not routinely screen every upload. We may investigate reports and restrict, unlist, or remove content or accounts, including permanently and without advance notice where permitted by law. You have no contractual entitlement to continued hosting or restoration. Keep your own original files. We will terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may act immediately on serious violations.

Report suspected infringement to soundslap.stream@gmail.com using our Copyright and Rights Policy. Users must also follow Twitch's DMCA Guidelines. SoundSlap cannot remove Twitch-hosted streams, VODs, or clips.

5. Bits and Playback

The Twitch confirmation identifies the Bits required for an alert. Alerts are subject to the channel's settings, queue, and technical availability. They do not entitle a viewer to a personal reaction from the broadcaster. Anonymous mode changes the displayed name; it does not conceal transaction identity from Twitch or SoundSlap.

Registration is currently free. Twitch processes Bits exchanges and distributes the applicable revenue shares to eligible broadcasters and the Extension developer under Twitch's arrangements. SoundSlap does not process payment-card charges or independently refund Bits. Any request concerning Bits refunds is governed by Twitch's policies and applicable law.

Playback is not guaranteed. Alerts can be delayed, interrupted, inaudible, blocked, or unavailable because of network or service failures, the broadcaster's settings, moderation, streaming software, or third-party systems. An accepted transaction or overlay acknowledgment does not establish that the audience heard an alert. No particular playback time, audience response, or uninterrupted service is promised.

If our system detects that an alert was not delivered, we may provide a courtesy Restore Token. Report a missing alert promptly with the channel, approximate time, and transaction identifier. Do not repeat a Bits exchange merely to recover the first one. We cannot reliably detect every broadcaster-side audio or streaming problem, and a report alone does not establish eligibility. A token permits one attempted replay of the recorded alert on its original channel, subject to availability, eligibility, and moderation; it does not guarantee successful playback. Tokens currently expire 30 days after issue and may be voided for abuse, unavailable content, or other legitimate service reasons. They are not cash, Bits, transferable credit, a refund, or a promise of compensation. Providing a token is not an admission of liability or a commitment to provide one for every failure.

Except where required by applicable law or binding Twitch obligations, an unsuccessful alert does not create a contractual entitlement to a refund, replacement, replay, or compensation from SoundSlap. Nothing here waives remedies that cannot legally be waived or changes Twitch's obligations to you.

6. Availability and Liability

To the extent permitted by law, SoundSlap is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of uninterrupted or error-free operation, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or noninfringement. We do not offer a service-level or uptime guarantee. Keep backups and use volume and moderation controls appropriate for your stream. We may change or discontinue features and impose reasonable technical limits. You may stop using the Service and disconnect Twitch at any time; account or content deletion requests go to our contact email. Provisions concerning accrued obligations, content licenses as described above, liability, and disputes survive termination where needed to give them effect.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost audience, lost data, or business interruption. Our total liability relating to the Service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid directly to SoundSlap during the preceding 12 months. Amounts paid to Twitch are not direct payments to SoundSlap. These limits do not exclude fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or nonwaivable consumer remedies, including protections under California Civil Code section 1668.

To the extent permitted by law, you will reimburse us for third-party claims and reasonable defense costs to the extent caused by your infringing content, breach of these Terms, or unlawful conduct. This does not cover losses caused by our own wrongdoing. We will notify you of a covered claim and reasonably cooperate; no settlement may impose an admission or nonmonetary obligation on you without your consent.

7. Disputes and Changes

Contact soundslap.stream@gmail.com to try to resolve a dispute. Doing so does not delay a legal deadline or prevent urgent relief. California law governs, subject to mandatory protections where you live. Disputes may be brought in courts with jurisdiction; these Terms impose no mandatory arbitration, class-action waiver, or jury-trial waiver.

We will post changes with a new effective date and give notice of material changes through the Service, obtaining renewed acceptance when required. Changes apply prospectively. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may transfer these Terms with the Service, subject to applicable law and our privacy commitments.
