                        Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 28/07/26 · Last Updated: 29/07/26

1. Our Service

Whisperbox is a browser-based tool that lets you hide ("seal") a text message, link, image, or text file inside the Comment Extension block of a GIF you provide, and later extract ("reveal") anything sealed inside a GIF. All sealing and revealing happens locally in your own browser. We do not create, edit, verify, or approve the content you hide. Only an automated system scans for illegal content.

2. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for everything you upload, seal, reveal, generate, or share using the Website, including but not limited to text, images, GIFs, hyperlinks, files, logos, copyrighted material, and trademarks. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and permissions to use, hide, and share the content you submit.

3. Prohibited Content and Use

You agree not to use the Website to seal, hide, conceal, or distribute content that:

  • Violates any applicable law.
  • Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
  • Contains malware, viruses, or other harmful code.
  • Promotes fraud or illegal activity.
  • Contains child sexual abuse material or otherwise sexualises a minor.
  • Contains unlawful extremist or terrorist content.
  • Harasses, threatens, stalks, or is used to covertly surveil another person without their consent.
  • Is intended to deceive another person or platform, including hiding content to evade lawful content-moderation systems.
  • Is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

We reserve the right to restrict or block access to the Website for anyone we reasonably believe is using it for a prohibited purpose.

4. Content Filters and Automated Screening

Before text or an image is sealed into a GIF, it is checked by an automated screening system. This includes a filter for hate speech and slurs (ordinary strong language is not filtered and will not affect your access), and a check for images that match known databases of illegal content. Content that matches will not be sealed, and the account or IP address involved will be permanently banned from the Website without warning. Where required by law, matching content may also be reported to the relevant authorities or child safety organisations. These filters are provided as a safety measure and are not guaranteed to catch every instance of prohibited content; if prohibited content bypasses them, you remain solely responsible for it under Sections 2 and 3.

5. Monitoring and Enforcement

Text and images submitted for sealing pass through the automated screening described in Section 4 before the seal completes; the finished GIF itself is still produced and stored only in your own browser. We do not otherwise review, monitor, or inspect your content. We are under no obligation to monitor user activity beyond this automated screening, and may restrict or permanently ban access at any time if we believe these Terms or applicable law have been violated.

6. Storage and Upload

Aside from the brief automated screening step described in Section 4, the Website does not upload, transmit, or store the GIFs, text, images, or files you process. The sealed or revealed result exists only in your browser for the duration of your session and is lost once you close or refresh the tab unless you download it yourself. You are solely responsible for saving and backing up anything you create.

7. Data Loss and Corruption

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for any loss, deletion, corruption, or inaccessibility of any content you process through the Website, including as a result of browser crashes, closed tabs, or device failure. Use the Website entirely at your own risk.

8. Third-Party Links

Content sealed inside a GIF using the Website may include links to third-party websites. We do not review, endorse, or accept responsibility for third-party websites or their content. Visiting third-party websites is entirely at your own risk.

9. Intellectual Property

All software, branding, graphics, design, and source code that make up the Website remain our property (or that of our licensors). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of that intellectual property to you. This does not affect ownership of the content you personally seal into or reveal from a GIF, which remains yours (or the relevant rights holder's).

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted operation. We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, secure, or error-free.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we, our owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or relating to your use of the Website, content you process through it, lost or corrupted files, third-party links, or technical failures. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the laws of England and Wales.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Website and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Website, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Suspension and Restriction of Access

We may restrict or block access to the Website at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable law have been violated, or if necessary to protect the Website or other users.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Website after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Website.

18. Acceptance

By using the Website, or continuing to access any part of it, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be legally bound by them, together with our Privacy Policy. You are solely responsible for any content you seal, reveal, or share using the Website. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the Website.
