Terms of Use
Last updated: 2 October 2026
By using Talking Stick (talkingstick.me) you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Who can use it
Talking Stick is free to use and provided by its owner.
What the service is
Talking Stick offers temporary voice and text chat rooms with a speaking stick that lets one person speak at a time. Anyone who has a room code can join.
Rules
You are responsible for what you say and write. You must not:
- harass, threaten, bully or discriminate against others;
- share illegal content, sexual content involving minors, or content that promotes violence or self-harm;
- share other people's private information, or record others without their consent;
- use bots, scripts or other automation, or try to overload, break into or get around the protections of the service;
- pretend to be someone else in order to deceive, or spam or advertise to others.
Other people in a room
Anyone in a room can hear and read what you share, and could record it without us knowing. Do not share sensitive personal information. We do not record voice, and we do not monitor rooms in real time.
Your content
You keep ownership of what you write. By sending it, you allow us to store it and show it to the people in your room for as long as the room exists, so the service can work.
Removal
We may remove rooms or block access at any time if these rules are broken or to protect the service or others.
Availability
The service is provided as it is, and we may change, pause or stop it, or remove features, at any time. We try to keep it running but do not promise it will always be available, error free or suitable for a particular purpose. Do not use it for emergencies.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for what users say or do, or for losses from using or not being able to use the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, or your rights as a consumer under mandatory law.
Reporting
To report abuse or ask a question, email talkingstick.me@gmail.com. Include the room code and time if you can.
Changes and law
We may change these terms; continued use means you accept the updated version. These terms are governed by the law of the country where the operator is established, without taking away protections you have under the mandatory law of your own country.
