Terms of Service
Last Updated: October 17th, 2025
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services made available by 21 Million LLC (referred to as "we", "our", "21 Million LLC") including services that we provide via the Nymbot website (nymbot.ai and any other domain or subdomain through which Nymbot-related services are provided from time to time, the "Nymbot Website") and in connection with the Nymbot applications (the "Nymbot App"), including Linux, Windows, Mac OS, Android and Mac iOS (collectively referred to as the "Services", which expression shall include any services, or any part thereof, that 21 Million LLC provides from time to time) and any information, text, links, graphics, videos, audio or other material uploaded, downloaded or appearing on such Services (collectively, referred to as "Content").
These Terms and the Nymbot Privacy Policy form the End User Agreement between you and 21 Million LLC.
1. Who can use the Services
Anyone who is not barred from using the Services under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, and is at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority, if older, in any applicable jurisdiction) can use the Services.
By using these Services, you agree to form a binding agreement between you and 21 Million LLC.
If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other entity that is not a natural person, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so and have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the words "you" and "your" as used in these Terms shall refer to such entity.
2. Our Privacy Policy
Privacy is central to our purpose and mission. For more details, please refer to the Nymbot Privacy Policy.
3. Our Services
Our Services are intended to inform you and educate you about using the Nymbot application, a private and secure communications app, and to facilitate private and secure communications between two or more parties, within a group, or within a community.
Availability of Our Services: Our Services may be interrupted, including for maintenance, upgrades, or network or equipment failures. We may discontinue some or all of our Services, including certain features and the support for certain devices and platforms, at any time.
3.1. Using the Nymbot Website
The purpose of the Nymbot Website is primarily to provide you with information about the Nymbot App and link to download of the Nymbot App. We have done our best to make sure this information is accurate and up-to-date, however, there may be unintentional errors that may mislead you. Therefore, we encourage you to contact us for any clarifications you may need. 21 Million LLC does not accept any liability for any accuracy or omission.
The Nymbot Website also enables you to submit your contact details, so we are able to keep you informed about our work.
3.2. Using the Nymbot App
The purpose of the Nymbot App is to facilitate private and secure communications, without capturing or sharing any account data. It was created for use by individuals who require pseudonymity and security.
What do we mean by 'private'? The Nymbot App does not require you to identify yourself or associate your personally identifiable information to use the service. The Nymbot App does not attempt to gather information or individually identify users through their use of the service.
What do we mean by 'secure'? The private messages you create on your Nymbot App are encrypted and only the destination Nymbot user can decrypt the message. The encrypted messages use Nostr's NIP-04 specification and routed from the Nymbot App through multiple Nostr relay network.
While we make every effort to ensure security, we cannot guarantee interception or decryption using advanced technologies are impossible.
The Nymbot App is a messaging app, and does not have the ability to communicate with non-Nymbot Apps or services. Our Services do not provide access to public emergency service providers like the police, fire department, hospitals, or other public safety organizations.
4. Our Responsibilities and Commitments to You
We are committed to ensuring the delivery of our Services in a way that is accessible and reliable.
We will not sell or otherwise monetize your personal data or content in any way. We cannot access your data even if we wanted to, as Nymbot preserves the privacy and secrecy of your messages. See our Privacy Policy for more information.

When using Communities operated by third-parties, these Terms as well as any terms or policies associated with the Community will govern your use. 21 Million LLC does not accept any liability for any third party websites, apps, content, or other products or services.
Community by Nymbot — You may use Communities run by Nymbot in accordance with our Terms; however, you also agree to follow the rules of the specific Community.

Nymbot's Rights — You acknowledge that 21 Million LLC owns all copyrights, trademarks, domains, logos, trade dress, trade secrets, patents, and other intellectual property rights associated with our Services. You may not use our copyrights, trademarks, domains, logos, trade dress, patents, and other intellectual property rights unless you have our written permission. To report copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property infringement, please contact [email protected].
5.2. Nymbot Content Policy
21 Million LLC exists to build private and secure technology, and defend individuals' rights to privacy and security in the digital world. We are also mission-driven to uphold key democratic, media freedom and human rights principles.
To enable us to uphold our mission principles, we have identified the following activities of Nymbot as a clear breach of these Terms.
Violent Behavior, Violent Extremism and Terrorism
Nymbot cannot be used:
- to glorify violence, or promote violence of any form (physical, psychological, sexual) against another individual or group, or incite harm or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.
- by organizations, groups and individuals designated by the United Nations as terrorist organizations or terrorists.
Child Sexual Exploitation
Nymbot cannot be used to organize or promote child sexual exploitation. A child is defined as anyone under the age of 18 (or, if older, the age that is defined as the applicable age of majority in any applicable jurisdiction). Specifically, Nymbot cannot be used to store or share:
- visual depictions of a child engaging in sexually explicit or sexually suggestive acts;
- illustrated, computer-generated or other forms of realistic depictions of a human child in a sexually explicit context, or engaging in sexually explicit acts;
- sexualized commentaries about or directed at a known or unknown minor;
- links to third-party sites that host child sexual exploitation material;
- fantasies about or promoting engagement in child sexual exploitation;
- recruiting, advertising or expressing an interest in a commercial sex act involving a child, or in harboring and/or transporting a child for sexual purposes.
Extremely Violence and/or Graphic Content
Nymbot cannot be used to store or share violent or gory content that is intended to shock or disgust others, or create harm or distress to the person or persons represented in the content.
Harmful and/or Unlawful Content
Nymbot cannot be used for cyber abuse, non-consensual sharing of intimate images and abhorrent violent material.
6.0 Monitoring Nymbot Breaches
Our Services have been created using a privacy-by-design approach which means that it is impossible for us to analyze or monitor your content you create and store on Nostr through the Nymbot App, or share it with other users.
Communities on Nymbot, by their nature, are open to the public, routed through the Nostr network, and the content posted and shared through Communities can be monitored. 21 Million LLC does not have the capacity to monitor all Communities; however, we do make a concerted effort to monitor and where necessary moderate Communities that have been created by us.
If you become aware of any behavior or content which you believe may breach any of our terms or principles of use, you should contact [email protected].
6.1 Third-party notification of breaches
We may be notified by third-parties of breaches to these Terms. In such cases, the evidence presented by the third-parties will be reviewed by us (or a service provider engaged by us or by the community to perform such review), to determine the severity of the breach and the required outcomes. Any decisions made by our Board will be final.
All notifications, including requests for information or take down notices, will be documented in our Transparency Report that is updated every three months.
6.2 Credits, payments and AI output
Credits — Replies from Nymbot are paid for with credits bought over the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Credits are a prepaid balance for use of the Services. They are not money, not a deposit, not a security and not redeemable for cash, and they carry no interest. Because Lightning payments are final and the balance is attached to a key we cannot identify you by, purchases are non-refundable except where refund is required by applicable law.
Spending — A reply is charged when it is generated. Where a charge scales with the length of a reply, the maximum is reserved when you send the message and only the actual cost is taken. A generation that fails is not charged, and resending the same message replays the answer already generated rather than buying a second one.
Losing a balance — Your balance is attached to your key. If you lose that key, or wipe it, we have no way to identify you as its holder and no way to restore or reissue the balance. The same is true of credits held on an anonymous-mode throwaway key. Back up your key.
AI output — Nymbot generates text, images and audio using machine-learning models, including models operated by third parties. Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or offensive, and it is not professional advice of any kind — legal, medical, financial or otherwise. You are responsible for checking anything you rely on. To the extent we hold any rights in the output generated for you, we assign them to you; we make no representation that the output is original, non-infringing, or free of third-party rights.
Connected repositories — If you connect a git repository, you authorise Nymbot to use the access token you supply to read it, and where you enable writes, to commit, branch and open pull or merge requests on your behalf. You are responsible for scoping that token and for reviewing any change made with it.
Acceptable use — You may not use the Services to generate content that sexually exploits minors, to build weapons or malware, to conduct fraud, to harass or defame, or otherwise to break the law. We may suspend access where we become aware of such use.
7.0 Disclaimers and Limitations
Disclaimers — YOU USE OUR SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMERS. WE PROVIDE OUR SERVICES ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE. 21 MILLION LLC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY US IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR USEFUL, THAT OUR SERVICES WILL BE OPERATIONAL, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR SAFE, OR THAT OUR SERVICES WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT DISRUPTIONS, DELAYS, OR IMPERFECTIONS. WE DO NOT CONTROL, AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, CONTROLLING HOW OR WHEN OUR USERS USE OUR SERVICES. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OR INFORMATION (INCLUDING CONTENT) OF OUR USERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES. YOU RELEASE US, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AND AGENTS (TOGETHER, "NYMBOT PARTIES") FROM ANY CLAIM, COMPLAINT, CAUSE OF ACTION, CONTROVERSY, OR DISPUTE (TOGETHER, "CLAIM") AND DAMAGES, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY SUCH CLAIM YOU HAVE AGAINST ANY THIRD PARTIES.
Limitation of Liability — THE NYMBOT PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OUR TERMS, US, OR OUR SERVICES, EVEN IF THE NYMBOT PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OUR TERMS, US, OR OUR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10). THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THE LAWS OF SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN OUR TERMS, IN SUCH CASES, THE LIABILITY OF THE NYMBOT PARTIES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
8.0. Resolving Disputes and Ending Terms
Resolving disputes — You agree to resolve any Claim you have with us relating to or arising out of our Terms, us, or our Services exclusively in the state of South Carolina, United States of America. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. The laws of South Carolina, United States of America govern our Terms, as well as any disputes, whether in court or arbitration, which might arise between us and you, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
Ending these Terms — You may end these Terms with Nymbot at any time by deleting Nymbot from your device and discontinuing use of our Services. We may modify, suspend, or terminate your access to or use of our Services anytime for any reason at any time, such as if you violate the letter or spirit of our Terms or create harm, risk, or possible legal exposure for Nymbot. The following provisions will survive termination of your relationship with Nymbot: "Licenses," "Disclaimers and Limitations," "Your Responsibilities," "Our Services" "Availability" and "Ending these Terms," and "General".
9.0 General
21 Million LLC may update the Terms at any time. When we update our Terms, We will update the "Last Modified" date associated with the updated Terms.

Our Services are not intended for distribution to or use in any country where such distribution or use would violate local law or would subject us to any regulations in another country. If you have specific questions about these Terms, please contact us at [email protected].
