Ondar Terms of Service
Last updated: October 28, 2026
Effective date: October 28, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Waystar Communications LLC, doing business as Ondar (“Ondar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern the Ondar application, website, registration and interest forms, profiles, discovery, Stories, messaging, media, plans, places, safety tools, subscriptions, credits and related services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice. Privacy notices are not consent where separate consent is required.
1. Eligibility
Ondar is only for men who are at least 18 years old and have reached the age of legal majority where they live. You represent that you meet those requirements, can enter this agreement, will comply with applicable law, and have not been removed from Ondar unless we authorized your return.
You must provide your real date of birth. Ondar uses it to assess age eligibility. Meeting an age requirement is not an identity, background or safety guarantee. We may restrict an account and request additional proof when we reasonably suspect underage use. Report suspected minors to safety@ondar.co.
Use the Service only where Ondar offers it and where your use is lawful. Access invitations, when required for a particular program, are personal and may not be sold or redistributed without our permission.
2. The Service
Ondar provides plans, places, community, discovery and messaging features for adults. Feature availability may vary by location, device and subscription. We may update or modify the Service to improve its quality, protect users or comply with law. We will provide notice of material changes when required and honor applicable rights relating to paid services. Maintenance or circumstances beyond our reasonable control may interrupt access. Ondar is not an emergency service; do not rely on it as your only means of seeking urgent help or your only copy of important content.
Suggestions and feedback are voluntary. You allow us to use them to improve Ondar without compensation, but this does not authorize publication of your identity or private content.
3. Accounts and security
Provide accurate information, keep credentials confidential and notify us promptly of unauthorized access. You may not sell, transfer or share an account; create accounts for another person; evade a block, restriction or ban; or use automated, false or deceptive accounts.
If you use a third-party sign-in service, its terms also govern your relationship with that service. Biometric authentication used to unlock Ondar takes place on your device; Ondar does not receive the underlying biometric template.
4. Your profile and the map
Your profile may contain your chosen name, photos, biography, interests, preferences, plans and other profile information. You decide what to include.
The map shows you only as described in the app: to someone you have mutually added as a friend, by general area unless you choose your exact spot, and to anyone who opens a place where you have checked in. A mode is available in which no one sees you. You must not try to identify, expose or track another person. Information a user voluntarily repeats, behavior, an in-person encounter or an external source can still identify a person; protect what you share.
A block is enforced across the blocked accounts. Do not attempt to evade it.
5. User Content and license
“User Content” includes profiles, text, Stories, photos, video, audio, locations, messages, plans, albums, reports, support communications and other material you submit. You retain ownership of your User Content.
You grant Ondar a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transcode, moderate, display and transmit User Content only as reasonably necessary to provide the feature and audience you selected; operate, secure and support the Service; enforce these Terms; investigate reports; comply with law; and preserve permitted evidence. We may sublicense those limited tasks to providers acting for us and transfer the license in a corporate transaction whose recipient assumes our obligations.
This license does not authorize Ondar to sell your content; turn it into a fake account; use private messages, private media, precise location or voice in advertising; or train a general-purpose generative AI model on it. We need separate permission to use your identity, likeness, voice or testimonial to promote Ondar.
You represent that you own or have permission to submit User Content; that each identifiable person depicted or recorded gave permission for the content to be created and shared with the audience you select; and that the content does not violate law or another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity or other rights. You may not post secretly recorded or nonconsensual content.
6. Media, Stories, messages and privacy expectations
Messages are stored on Ondar’s servers and are not end-to-end encrypted. They may be processed to deliver the conversation and reviewed when reported or reasonably necessary for safety, support, security or law. Do not use Ondar to transmit information requiring end-to-end confidentiality.
“Private,” “one-time,” “view-once” and “expiring” describe access controls and ordinary retention, not an assurance that a recipient cannot screenshot, photograph, record or redistribute content. A report may preserve relevant content beyond its ordinary expiration.
A Story is a temporary photo or short video shared with the audience you choose in the feature: your Circle or eligible people nearby. Ondar applies the audience controls described in the product, but those controls are not a promise of confidentiality. A viewer can capture or redistribute a Story, and proximity or location context may be inferred from a Story shared nearby. The Story’s ordinary visibility ends after the temporary period that applies to the feature; technical copies or restricted evidence may remain as described in the Privacy Policy.
Every Story must be suitable for a public-facing space, including when shared only with your Circle. Stories may not contain nudity, pornography, visible genitals, sexual acts or sexually explicit content.
You may not copy, disclose, threaten to disclose or use another person’s private or intimate content without consent or another lawful basis. Unsolicited sexual images are prohibited.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use the Service to:
- harass, stalk, threaten, coerce, blackmail, extort, dox, out or intimidate anyone;
- discriminate or attack people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or another protected trait;
- impersonate, catfish, defraud or use undisclosed bots, face swaps or deceptive synthetic media;
- share nonconsensual intimate imagery, secretly recorded content or sexual deepfakes;
- involve, depict, contact, groom, sexualize or exploit a minor, or possess or distribute child sexual abuse material;
- promote trafficking, paid sexual services, pornography sales, illegal drugs, weapons, scams, money requests, investment schemes or unlawful transactions;
- send spam, scrape data, enumerate identifiers, reverse engineer, introduce malware, interfere with security or gain unauthorized access;
- reveal, triangulate or misuse another person’s exact location or identity;
- arrange unlawful public sexual activity, trespass or misrepresent a plan or place; or
- violate law, consent, intellectual-property, privacy, publicity or contractual rights.
Public areas of Ondar — including profiles, profile photos, Stories, maps, plans, places, events and group names — may not contain nudity, pornography or sexually explicit content. Profile photos and Stories are screened before they are shown.
Private messages and media between adults must be lawful and wanted by every recipient. Sending sexual content to someone who has not asked for it is prohibited. Photos sent in chat are screened automatically; content that involves a minor or is illegal is removed and may be reported to the authorities. You can report or block from any chat.
Ondar may restrict mature content more broadly when necessary for safety or App Store compliance. Paid features never purchase sexual access, services or consent.
8. Child safety and intimate-image abuse
Ondar has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. We may immediately disable access, preserve evidence and report apparent child sexual abuse material or exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children or authorities when required. Do not resend suspected illegal material; use the in-app report and provide non-graphic details to safety@ondar.co.
You may not create, share, threaten to share or solicit an intimate depiction of an identifiable person without consent, including altered or AI-generated imagery. Report it in-app or to safety@ondar.co. We will disable and process valid removal requests within applicable legal deadlines and may preserve restricted evidence as permitted by law.
9. Location, plans, places and check-ins
With permission, Ondar receives device location while the app is in use. The Service shows your location on the map only as described in Section 4 and does not publicly display the device’s raw coordinates. A minimum-density rule may prevent map display in a sparsely populated zone. Profile, plan, place and intentionally sent chat locations follow the visibility shown in the feature.
You control whether to send a location in a message or check into a place.
Ondar does not organize, host, screen or insure user-created plans. Attendance, entry into a location, alcohol use or prior activity never constitutes consent to sexual contact, recording or another act. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and ongoing and can be withdrawn at any time.
10. Moderation, reporting, blocking and appeals
Ondar combines automated image and video moderation with authorized human review. Uploaded media, including every Story, is reviewed before it becomes visible to other users and may be withheld, rejected, removed or referred for further review. Automated assessments can make mistakes. Service providers may assist with moderation and safety under the conditions described in our Privacy Policy.
The Service provides reporting, blocking and, for Stories, muting. A Story mute changes what the viewer sees; it does not itself submit a safety report or guarantee enforcement. We may review reported Stories or other content, relevant messages, account history, technical signals and moderation records; warn users; remove content; restrict features; suspend or terminate accounts; preserve evidence; or notify authorities where appropriate. We do not guarantee detection or prevention of every violation.
We keep a record of moderation actions. Unless notice would create a safety risk, compromise an investigation, enable evasion or violate law, we provide a reason for a material restriction and a way to appeal through safety@ondar.co.
11. Safety
You are responsible for deciding whether and how to communicate, share information or meet. Ondar does not conduct criminal background checks on every user and does not guarantee identity, conduct, compatibility or safety. Meet in public when appropriate, arrange your own transportation, tell someone you trust, and never send money or credentials. Contact emergency services if anyone faces immediate danger.
12. Subscriptions
Ondar+ plans, prices, billing periods and benefits are displayed before purchase. Ondar+ currently includes seeing who viewed or liked you, better filters in Closeby, unlimited incognito, free unsend, and up to 30 photos and 5 albums. Limited offers are subject to the eligibility and conditions shown with the offer. The purchase screen controls if it conflicts with a marketing summary. A promotion does not guarantee access to every future feature.
Subscriptions are processed through Apple, automatically renew unless canceled, and are governed by Apple’s billing, cancellation and refund rules. Ondar+ does not include every credit-based action; some features continue to require credits as disclosed before purchase. Deleting the app or account does not necessarily cancel an Apple subscription; cancel it through your Apple account.
13. Credits
Credits are digital items usable only for the features identified in the app, such as unsend, extra plans, replays, view-once albums, seeing who viewed or liked you, and proposing an event or a place. They have no cash value, are not legal tender, cannot be redeemed for money and are nontransferable unless we expressly allow it. Purchased and validly granted Ondar credits do not expire.
We may correct a balance affected by fraud, a chargeback, abuse or technical error. Credits do not purchase another user’s content, consent or attention and do not guarantee a match, response, view or meeting. Apple’s purchase and refund rules apply to in-app purchases.
14. Intellectual property and copyright concerns
Ondar’s software, branding and original content belong to Ondar or its licensors. These Terms give you a limited, personal, revocable right to use the Service, not ownership of our technology or marks.
Send a copyright concern to legal@ondar.co with your contact information, the work claimed, the exact location of the material, the basis of your claim, a good-faith statement and your signature. This contact does not represent that Ondar has registered a designated DMCA agent.
15. Account deletion
You may request deletion in the app. The account is deactivated for 30 days, during which you may reverse the request. After that period, we delete the account and associated active data as described in the Privacy Policy, subject to reported content, open investigations, legal obligations, fraud prevention and permitted evidence retention. See Account Deletion and Privacy Requests for how to request final deletion without the recovery period.
A restricted record of a prior identifier may be retained when reasonably necessary to prevent impersonation or reassignment abuse. It is not displayed as an active profile or used for marketing.
16. Content and conduct
Ondar does not tolerate objectionable content or abusive users.
It is prohibited to post unsolicited sexually explicit content, content involving minors, threats, harassment, hate speech, impersonation, fraud, or intimate images of another person without their consent.
Any user may report content or another user from within the app. We review all reports within 24 hours of receiving them. When we confirm a violation, we remove the content and suspend or permanently delete the responsible account.
You may also write to us at support@ondar.co.
17. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may restrict, suspend or terminate access for a violation, safety risk, fraud, underage use, legal requirement or discontinuation of the Service, subject to applicable notice requirements and non-waivable consumer rights. Provisions that by their nature must survive—including ownership, lawful evidence preservation, disclaimers and accrued payment obligations—survive.
18. Disclaimers and liability
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages. Our total liability for a claim will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid Ondar during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
These limitations do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, nonwaivable privacy or consumer rights, or liability that cannot legally be limited.
19. Governing law and disputes
Florida law governs these Terms, except where mandatory law applicable to you requires otherwise. The state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida have jurisdiction over disputes, subject to small-claims rights and any mandatory venue rule. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.
20. Changes
We may update these Terms prospectively. We will identify the effective date and provide appropriate notice of material changes. Where renewed agreement is required, we will request it. A change does not retroactively authorize a new use of personal information.
