Simply Sound Society

Effective Date: August 1, 2026
Last Updated: August 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Simply Sound Society (“SSS,” “Society,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including the SSS website, progressive web app, downloadable app, Society Sends messaging app, and related community, customization, communication, and account services that we make available (collectively, the “Services”). Simply Sound Society is operated by Simply Sound Advice, LLC.

Please read these Terms carefully. By visiting, creating an account, installing an app, purchasing a digital item, posting content, sending a message, joining a call, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

You may use the Services only if you can legally agree to these Terms. If you use SSS on behalf of a business, organization, group, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes both you and that entity.

Additional terms may apply to a particular feature, promotion, purchase, app store, beta test, or third-party integration. Those additional terms become part of these Terms when presented to you. If they conflict with these Terms, the more specific terms control for that feature.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirement

SSS is for people age 13 or older. You may not access, register for, or submit personal information to SSS if you are under 13.

If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the Services only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. Where local law requires a higher minimum age or additional authorization, you must satisfy that requirement.

We may request age confirmation, place an account on hold, apply safer defaults, limit interactions, or remove an account when we reasonably believe the user is underage, has provided inaccurate age information, or presents a safety risk. If you believe a child under 13 is using SSS, contact us immediately.

3. Accounts, Passwords, and Linked SSA/SSS Accounts

You are responsible for providing accurate registration information, maintaining the confidentiality of your password and authentication methods, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless applicable law provides otherwise.

You may not sell, rent, transfer, share, or provide unauthorized access to an account. You may not impersonate another person or organization, falsely claim affiliation, create accounts for fraud or evasion, or use automated account creation without written permission.

SSS accounts may be linked with Simply Sound Advice (“SSA”) accounts. When accounts are linked, certain account information, profile details, sign-in functions, password-recovery functions, logout actions, safety states, and deletion requests may be synchronized or coordinated between SSA and SSS as described in the Privacy Policy and the applicable interface.

Society Sends may require your SSS username or email address and your SSS password, even if you normally enter SSS through an SSA-linked browser session. You are responsible for maintaining a usable SSS authentication method and using the official recovery process when needed.

4. What the Services Include

Depending on availability, account status, device, age, role, location, settings, and feature flags, SSS may provide customizable Digital Homes and profile rooms; feeds; friends and follows; groups; forums; questions and answers; blogs; photos; videos; events; nearby discovery; matching or member suggestions; achievements; ranks; points; SocietyStars; messaging; chatrooms; voice notes; voice calls; video calls; group calls; screen sharing; push notifications; profile music; visual effects; custom CSS; safe HTML blocks; design-copying tools; and related features.

Not every feature is available to every user, and features may be introduced, tested, limited, renamed, modified, paused, or retired. References in these Terms to a feature do not promise that the feature is currently enabled or will remain available.

5. Your Content and Your License to SSS

“User Content” includes anything you submit, upload, create, send, display, stream, share, or make available through the Services, including profile information, posts, comments, blogs, questions, answers, group content, messages, chat content, photos, video, audio, voice notes, call-related reports, event information, files, links, custom CSS, safe HTML, profile music references, designs, and feedback.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You are responsible for it and represent that you have all rights and permissions needed to submit it and allow SSS to use it as described here.

By submitting User Content, you grant SSS a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt for technical formatting, transmit, display, and distribute that content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, moderate, improve, and provide the Services according to your settings and intended audience.

This license continues for as long as the content remains on the Services. It ends when the content is deleted from active systems, except to the extent that:

• another user has lawfully shared, quoted, or incorporated it;
• it remains temporarily in backups, logs, caches, or disaster-recovery systems;
• we must retain it for safety, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or enforcement; or
• deletion would impair the integrity of a conversation, transaction, report, or system record.

You should keep your own copies of content you cannot afford to lose. SSS is not a permanent archival or backup service.

6. Public, Limited-Audience, and Private Spaces

SSS includes public and limited-audience areas. Your settings and the context in which you share content affect who can ordinarily see it, but no online privacy control is infallible. Other users may take screenshots, copy information, record their own device, or reshare content in ways we cannot fully control.

“Private,” “direct,” “invite-only,” or similar labels mean the content is limited to the intended participants or members through normal platform access. They do not mean the content is inaccessible to SSS. Authorized systems and administrators may access content when reasonably necessary to:

• operate, secure, troubleshoot, or support the Services;
• investigate reports, abuse, fraud, grooming, exploitation, threats, or other safety concerns;
• enforce these Terms and the Community Guidelines;
• comply with law, court process, or valid government requests; or
• protect the rights, property, or safety of users, SSS, or others.

SSS messages and groups are not end-to-end encrypted by default. Do not use SSS to transmit information that legally or professionally requires privileged, confidential, or end-to-end encrypted handling.

7. Society Sends, Messaging, Voice, Video, and Screen Sharing

Society Sends is a companion communication experience connected to your SSS account and the same underlying message system. Messages, conversations, devices, unread states, safety restrictions, and account actions may synchronize between the website, PWA, downloadable apps, and Society Sends.

When you use voice, video, voice-note, or screen-sharing features, you authorize the Services and relevant device software to access the microphone, camera, files, notifications, or screen only as directed by you and subject to your device permissions.

You may not record, capture, publish, or distribute another person’s voice, video, screen, private messages, or private content without all consent required by applicable law. Screen sharing can reveal passwords, notifications, financial information, health information, private messages, and other sensitive material. You are responsible for reviewing what is visible before and during a screen share.

SSS does not currently provide a platform feature that records the audio or video content of live calls. Call media may be transmitted or relayed through third-party real-time communication infrastructure. We may retain limited call metadata, such as participants, timestamps, duration, call type, room or thread identifiers, technical errors, and reports.

Calls may be restricted based on friendship, blocks, age, group membership, room permissions, account status, Guardian restrictions, or other safety rules. An available call button does not override server-side restrictions.

Emergency services cannot be contacted through SSS. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service in your location.

8. Digital Homes, CSS, Safe HTML, Music, Effects, and Design Sharing

SSS gives members unusual creative control. That freedom comes with responsibilities.

You may use customization tools only for lawful, good-faith personal expression. You may not use CSS, HTML, embeds, files, links, music, effects, or design tools to:

• inject scripts, malware, cryptominers, unauthorized trackers, fingerprinting tools, or deceptive redirects;
• create fake login prompts, fake system notices, phishing interfaces, hidden click targets, or misleading platform controls;
• interfere with global navigation, safety controls, accessibility tools, reporting controls, or another user’s ability to leave or use a page;
• collect information about visitors without clear authorization;
• evade sanitization, permissions, entitlements, rate limits, or safety restrictions;
• overload devices or infrastructure through excessive animation, media, requests, storage, or resource consumption; or
• use content, music, images, fonts, code, or designs you do not have the right to use.

We may sanitize, rewrite, compile, scope, limit, disable, or remove custom code and media. We may use Safe View, Safe Mode, automatic rollback, Last Known Good restoration, reduced-motion behavior, resource budgets, or other protective measures when a design creates technical, security, accessibility, or safety problems.

Where SSS offers “Copy This Look,” My CSS sharing, remixing, or similar features, the source member authorizes eligible design settings to be copied only to the extent allowed by that feature. Personal text, private content, account data, and non-shareable files are not included merely because a design is shared. Premium items remain subject to the recipient’s own entitlement. Copying a design does not transfer ownership of third-party art, music, trademarks, or other protected material.

9. Community Conduct

The Community Guidelines are incorporated into these Terms. You must follow them in every part of SSS, including profiles, messages, chatrooms, calls, groups, forums, blogs, media, events, questions, comments, custom code, usernames, and off-platform conduct that creates a credible risk to SSS or its users.

You may not use the Services to:

• harass, bully, stalk, threaten, intimidate, exploit, blackmail, or dox another person;
• engage in grooming, trafficking, sexual exploitation, sextortion, or predatory conduct;
• create, request, share, or facilitate child sexual abuse material or any sexual content involving a minor;
• share non-consensual intimate imagery or private sexual content;
• promote violent extremism, credible violence, targeted hate, or attacks based on protected characteristics;
• encourage or instruct self-harm, suicide, eating-disorder abuse, or dangerous conduct in a manner that creates a safety risk;
• commit fraud, impersonation, phishing, scams, identity theft, money laundering, or deceptive commercial conduct;
• sell or facilitate illegal drugs, weapons, stolen goods, trafficking, sexual services, or other unlawful or regulated transactions;
• send spam, mass unsolicited messages, fake engagement, repetitive promotions, or manipulative affiliate content;
• upload malware, probe vulnerabilities, scrape without permission, reverse engineer, bypass access controls, disrupt service, or overload infrastructure;
• violate another person’s privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, contractual, or other rights; or
• help another person do anything prohibited by these Terms.

10. Safety, Moderation, Reports, and Enforcement

SSS may use member reports, administrator review, group-owner moderation, automated rule-based safety systems, rate limits, device and account signals, and other tools to identify or respond to prohibited conduct. These systems may make mistakes and do not guarantee that all harmful content will be detected.

Group owners and moderators may manage ordinary community issues inside their spaces. SSS retains platform-wide authority and may intervene in any group, conversation, profile, event, call, or other area when needed for safety, legal compliance, system integrity, or enforcement.

We may preserve reported content, relevant surrounding context, technical logs, moderation evidence, call metadata, account history, and related information. We may disclose information when required by law or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to address an emergency, credible threat, exploitation, abuse, fraud, or serious harm.

Depending on the circumstances, we may warn a user; remove or limit content; reduce visibility; disable customization; restrict messaging or calls; remove a user from a group; freeze purchases or entitlements; require verification; suspend an account; preserve evidence; report conduct to appropriate authorities; or permanently terminate access.

We are not required to provide advance notice when doing so would create risk, compromise an investigation, enable evasion, or be prohibited by law. You may request review of an enforcement action through our support channel, but we do not guarantee reversal.

11. SSS Intellectual Property

The Services, including SSS and Society Sends branding, software, source code, designs, interfaces, logos, graphics, documentation, original effects, compilations, and other materials provided by us are owned by or licensed to Simply Sound Advice, LLC and are protected by intellectual-property laws.

These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for their intended purpose. They do not grant you ownership of the platform or permission to copy, sell, sublicense, publish, scrape, reverse engineer, or create an unauthorized competing derivative of protected SSS materials.

Third-party themes, plugins, libraries, media, embeds, and services remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate licenses.

12. Copyright and Rights Complaints

Do not upload or share material you do not have the right to use. We may remove content, restrict access, or terminate repeat infringers.

To report alleged copyright or other rights infringement, contact us with:

• your name and contact information;
• identification of the protected work or right;
• the specific SSS location of the allegedly infringing material;
• a good-faith statement explaining why the use is unauthorized;
• a statement that your report is accurate and that you are authorized to act; and
• your physical or electronic signature.

Knowingly submitting a false or misleading claim may create legal liability. This section is a reporting process and does not represent that SSS has completed any particular statutory registration.

13. Purchases, Digital Items, Entitlements, and SocietyStars

SSS may offer paid cosmetic bundles, effects, customization capabilities, digital items, or other entitlements. Prices, included items, taxes, currency, delivery, and any recurring billing will be shown before purchase. Unless a checkout clearly states otherwise, a purchase is not a recurring subscription.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. You authorize the applicable provider to charge the payment method you select and agree to provide accurate billing information.

Digital items are licensed access, not physical property. A “lifetime,” “forever,” or similarly described SSS entitlement means access for as long as your account remains active and in good standing, SSS continues to operate, and the applicable capability remains supported. It is not a promise that SSS, a third-party dependency, or a particular feature will exist forever.

SocietyStars, points, ranks, badges, quests, streaks, and similar virtual items:

• have no cash value;
• are not legal tender, deposits, investments, or property;
• cannot be redeemed for cash unless we expressly say otherwise;
• may be subject to limits, expiration, correction, reversal, or removal for abuse, error, refund, or account termination; and
• may not be sold, transferred, or traded outside an authorized SSS feature.

Except where required by law or stated at checkout, purchases of immediately delivered or used digital benefits are final. We may approve refunds or credits in our discretion. An approved refund, charge reversal, or chargeback may remove the corresponding entitlement, bundle, effect, or SocietyStars and may temporarily restrict purchasing while the transaction is investigated.

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer right that applies where you live.

14. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services rely on or connect with third parties, which may include hosting, WordPress components, messaging and real-time communication infrastructure, push notification services, payment processors, analytics, fraud prevention, media providers, map or location providers, app stores, embedded content, music services, and external websites.

Your use of third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. SSS does not control and is not responsible for third-party availability, content, security, policies, or actions. A third-party failure may temporarily affect SSS features.

Links and embeds do not mean SSS endorses the third party or guarantees its content. Use external services at your own risk.

15. Nearby Discovery, Matching, Events, and Real-World Meetings

Location, nearby discovery, member suggestions, matching, groups, and events are tools for connection, not guarantees of identity, compatibility, safety, distance, attendance, or intent. Location information may be approximate, delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.

SSS does not routinely perform criminal background checks or independently verify every user’s identity, age, claims, qualifications, or event. Use judgment when interacting with others. Protect your address and sensitive information, meet in public when appropriate, tell someone you trust, arrange your own transportation, and stop contact when something feels unsafe.

You are solely responsible for real-world interactions and events you organize or attend, subject to any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

16. No Professional Advice and No Emergency Service

SSS is a community platform. User Content and linked Simply Sound Advice materials may discuss health, mental health, relationships, finance, law, safety, recovery, or other serious subjects, but they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who understands your circumstances.

We do not guarantee that user statements, articles, answers, recommendations, calculations, or other content are complete, current, accurate, safe, or appropriate for you. You remain responsible for your decisions.

SSS is not an emergency, crisis, medical, legal, financial, or law-enforcement service. Contact qualified local help in an emergency.

17. Availability, Updates, Beta Features, and Security

We work to make SSS resilient and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or perfectly secure operation. Maintenance, attacks, third-party outages, bugs, migrations, device limitations, network failures, or events outside our control may interrupt service.

Some features, including mobile-app, calling, safety, customization, and recovery capabilities, may be labeled alpha, beta, experimental, preview, or early access. Such features may change quickly, behave unexpectedly, or be withdrawn.

You are responsible for installing updates, maintaining a supported device and browser, protecting your device, and using official SSS distribution channels. We may require an update for security or compatibility.

You may not publicly disclose a security vulnerability in a way that creates additional risk. Report suspected vulnerabilities privately so we can investigate.

18. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using SSS at any time. We may limit, suspend, or terminate your account or access when we reasonably believe:

• you violated these Terms or the Community Guidelines;
• your account creates a safety, security, legal, fraud, payment, or operational risk;
• you attempted to evade a prior restriction or enforcement action;
• we are required to do so by law or a valid legal request; or
• continued access would harm SSS, its users, or third parties.

Termination may result in loss of access to User Content, messages, groups, SocietyStars, badges, ranks, digital items, and paid entitlements. We may preserve information as described in the Privacy Policy and these Terms.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, licenses already relied upon, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute provisions, and enforcement rights—will survive.

19. Account Deletion and Data Retention

You may request deletion through the Delete Your Data page or the available account tools. Deletion may affect linked SSA and SSS account data as disclosed during the process.

Deletion does not necessarily remove content that other users have independently copied, quoted, received, or lawfully reshared. We may retain limited information for backups, security, fraud prevention, tax and transaction records, legal compliance, disputes, moderation evidence, or protection of users.

For more detail, review the Privacy Policy.

20. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” SSS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, USER, GROUP, EVENT, MESSAGE, CALL, LINK, PURCHASE, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE WILL BE SAFE, ACCURATE, LEGAL, OR RELIABLE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

21. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIMPLY SOUND ADVICE, LLC, SSS, AND THEIR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, CONTENT, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY; PERSONAL DISPUTES; THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT; OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO SSS DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) 100 U.S. DOLLARS.

These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including any rights that applicable consumer law makes non-waivable.

22. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Simply Sound Advice, LLC, SSS, and their owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your User Content, your conduct, your violation of these Terms, your infringement of another person’s rights, or your misuse of the Services.

This section does not require you to indemnify anyone for their own unlawful conduct where such indemnification is prohibited.

23. Governing Law and Disputes

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us and provide a reasonable opportunity—normally 30 days—to resolve the issue informally. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief when necessary to prevent immediate harm.

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought in a state court located in Carbon County, Utah, or a federal court with jurisdiction over Carbon County, Utah, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Consumers may retain mandatory rights and venues provided by the law of their place of residence.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Services, safety practices, law, technology, or business operations. The updated page will show a new “Last Updated” date.

When a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide reasonable notice through the Services, email, or another appropriate method before the change takes effect, unless immediate changes are required for law, security, fraud prevention, or urgent safety.

Continuing to use the Services after revised Terms take effect means you accept them. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services and may request account deletion.

25. Miscellaneous

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Community Guidelines, and any applicable feature- or purchase-specific terms form the entire agreement between you and SSS regarding the Services.

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written permission. We may assign them as part of a merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, or change in the operator of the Services.

Headings are for convenience only. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” Electronic notices and records satisfy any writing requirement to the extent permitted by law.
