SONOR

Terms of Service

Effective 14 October 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Musa Katuli, an individual based in California, United States, who runs Sonor ("we", "us"). By creating an account, listening, or otherwise using Sonor, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use Sonor.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

1. What Sonor is

Sonor is a listening app. You can open a station, keep or turn off a tone that starts with it, and add ambient sound underneath. You can also save a mix and, if you choose, build a soundscape.

Sonor is not a medical device, not a treatment, and not medical advice. We do not claim that a tone, a station, or an ambient sound will change how you feel, how you sleep, or how you concentrate. Research on tones is mixed. Pulsing audio can affect people with epilepsy or a seizure disorder. If that applies to you, talk to a doctor before using the tone, and turn the tone off if it bothers you.

2. Who can use Sonor

Sonor is not directed at children under 13. If the law where you live requires you to be old enough to agree to a contract, you must be that age. We may refuse or close an account that breaks these terms.

3. Guest listening

You can listen for a few minutes without an account and without a card. That time is limited, it is counted in the browser, and it can change. When it ends, you can sign in to continue.

4. Your account

  • You can sign in with Google, with email and a password, or from a link we email you.
  • A password set at signup does not work until you open the confirmation link.
  • Give an email address you can open. Keep your password and sign-in links private.
  • You are responsible for what happens under your account.
  • Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has used it.
  • One person, one account. Do not share or sell accounts.

5. How to use Sonor

You agree not to:

  • break, overload, probe, or get around the security or the limits of Sonor;
  • access an account or data that is not yours;
  • scrape or copy Sonor by automated means;
  • use Sonor to send spam or to harm someone;
  • upload or generate anything you do not have the right to use;
  • pretend the station tracks, or anyone else's recording, are yours.

6. Your mixes and soundscapes

You keep what you create in Sonor, such as a saved mix or a soundscape you build. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, and play that material only as needed to run Sonor for you. This licence ends when you delete the material or your account, except for backups kept for a limited time.

You confirm you have the right to anything you upload or ask the generator to use. We may remove material that breaks these terms or the law. If you believe something on Sonor infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with the details and we will look into it.

7. Station tracks and other audio

Station tracks play from services we do not own, including YouTube. Sonor did not write those recordings. Spotify and Apple Music, if you connect or open them, are also other people's services. Their terms and privacy policies apply to that playback, and we are not responsible for them.

The tone and the ambient sounds Sonor generates or ships with the app are part of Sonor. You may listen to them inside Sonor. You may not copy them out to sell as your own.

8. Price

Guest listening does not ask for a card. Free listening can have limits, such as how many sounds you can layer, how long a session runs, or how often you can skip. Those limits can change, and they apply when that switch is on.

If we charge for a feature, we will show the price before you agree, and nothing is charged without that agreement. You can cancel a paid subscription from the billing page when checkout is open. Payment is processed by Stripe.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using Sonor at any time. To close an account, email [email protected].

We may suspend or close an account, or remove access to part of Sonor, if you break these terms, if we must by law, or to protect Sonor or other people. Where it is reasonable, we will tell you why. Sections 6, 10, 11, 12, and 13 continue after your account ends.

10. Disclaimers

We work to keep Sonor running, but it is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, including that Sonor will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. Station tracks can disappear if the service that hosts them removes them. We do not control YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Google, or Stripe.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of Sonor. Our total liability for any claim relating to Sonor is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100.

Some places do not allow these limits, so they apply to you only as far as your local law permits.

12. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of content you posted or your breach of these terms, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before going to court, please email us so we can try to resolve the problem informally. Any dispute that cannot be resolved that way will be decided in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and we both agree to their jurisdiction. Nothing here takes away rights you have under the consumer laws of the place you live.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Sonor changes. We will change the date at the top. If you keep using Sonor after a change takes effect, the new terms apply.

15. General

If part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later. You may not transfer these terms to anyone else. We may transfer them to someone who takes over running Sonor, who must keep them. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about Sonor.
