Terms of Service

Last updated: 22 September 2026

Welcome to LiveStranger.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of https://livestranger.com/ and any related services, features, applications or functionality provided by LiveStranger (collectively, the “Service”).

Operator and legal contact information is available in our Impressum / Legal Notice.

Throughout these Terms, “LiveStranger”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operator of the Service. “You” and “User” refer to anyone accessing or using the Service.

By accessing or using LiveStranger, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Community Rules.

If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. Age Requirement

LiveStranger is strictly intended for adults.

You must be at least 18 years old to access or use the Service.

If the legal age of adulthood in your country or jurisdiction is higher than 18, you must have reached that age.

Persons under 18 are prohibited from using LiveStranger, even with the permission, consent or supervision of a parent or guardian.

We may restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe that a User is under 18.

We may also implement reasonable age-screening or age-assurance measures where appropriate.

2. Description of the Service

LiveStranger provides an online communication service that may allow Users to be randomly connected with other Users for live video, audio and/or text communication.

Connections between Users may be random and we do not guarantee that Users will be matched according to location, language, gender, interests or any other characteristic.

LiveStranger does not guarantee the identity, background, intentions or statements of any User you encounter.

You are responsible for deciding whether and how you interact with another User.

3. Licence to Use LiveStranger

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to access and use LiveStranger for lawful personal purposes.

You may not sell, sublicense, reproduce, commercially exploit or otherwise make the Service available to third parties unless we have given you written permission.

4. User Conduct

You must treat other Users respectfully.

You must not use LiveStranger to:

• threaten, intimidate, bully, stalk or harass another person;
• promote hatred or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other protected characteristics;
• display nudity, pornography or sexually explicit conduct;
• expose intimate body parts or intentionally display sexually provocative material;
• request or encourage another User to perform sexual acts;
• distribute illegal, abusive, violent or otherwise unlawful material;
• impersonate another person or falsely represent your identity;
• scam, defraud or deceive Users;
• advertise, spam or repeatedly promote products, websites, social-media accounts or services without permission;
• distribute malware, malicious links or harmful software;
• violate another person's privacy;
• share another person's private information without authorization;
• record, photograph, screenshot or distribute another User's video, audio or private communications where doing so violates applicable law or that User's rights;
• infringe copyright, trademarks or other intellectual-property rights;
• facilitate or encourage criminal activity; or
• encourage another User to violate these Terms.

Additional rules may be provided in our Community Rules.

5. Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

LiveStranger maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse and exploitation.

You must never use the Service to create, display, request, transmit, distribute or facilitate:

• child sexual abuse material (“CSAM”);
• sexual content involving anyone under 18;
• grooming or attempted grooming of minors;
• sexual exploitation of minors;
• requests for sexual photographs or videos involving minors;
• sexual conversations directed toward minors; or
• any content that sexualizes children.

Suspected violations may result in immediate and permanent suspension.

Where required or permitted by applicable law, suspected illegal content may be reported to the appropriate authorities or child-protection organizations.

If you encounter content that appears to involve the sexual exploitation of a minor, immediately disconnect from the User and report the incident through the reporting tools available on LiveStranger or contact support@livestranger.com.

6. Video and Camera Rules

LiveStranger is intended primarily for genuine person-to-person communication.

Unless specifically permitted by a feature of the Service, you must not:

• intentionally replace your live camera feed with prerecorded video;
• use virtual-camera software to impersonate another person;
• display pornography or sexually explicit media;
• show illegal material;
• intentionally deceive Users about whether a video feed is live;
• use bots or automated video streams; or
• manipulate the Service in a way intended to mislead other Users.

We may restrict the use of filters, virtual cameras, prerecorded video or similar technology where necessary to prevent abuse or impersonation.

7. User Content

“User Content” includes video, audio, text, images and other information transmitted by Users through the Service.

You retain any ownership rights you have in your User Content.

You grant LiveStranger a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free licence to technically process, transmit, display and otherwise handle User Content only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the Service;
• transmit communications to other Users;
• operate technical infrastructure;
• prevent fraud or abuse;
• enforce these Terms;
• investigate reports;
• protect Users; and
• comply with applicable law.

We do not obtain ownership of your User Content simply because you use LiveStranger.

Information regarding storage, processing, retention and deletion of personal data is provided separately in our Privacy Policy.

8. Your Responsibility for User Content

You are responsible for the content you transmit through LiveStranger.

You confirm that you have the necessary rights and permissions to transmit your User Content.

You must not transmit content that violates another person's copyright, privacy, personality rights or other legal rights.

You should assume that another User could potentially record or capture information that you display during a conversation.

For this reason, do not disclose information that you would not want another person to possess or distribute.

9. Privacy and Personal Information

Do not share sensitive personal information with strangers unless you understand and accept the risks involved.

This includes information such as:

• your full home address;
• passwords;
• banking information;
• identification documents;
• private photographs;
• precise location;
• financial information; or
• other highly sensitive information.

LiveStranger cannot control what another User does with information that you voluntarily disclose to them.

Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Reporting Users

Users may report suspected violations of these Terms or our Community Rules through any reporting functionality made available through the Service.

You may also contact us at:

support@livestranger.com

Reports should be made honestly and in good faith.

Intentionally submitting false, abusive or fraudulent reports may itself constitute a violation of these Terms.

Where appropriate, we may review available information associated with a report to determine whether a violation occurred.

11. Moderation

We may take reasonable measures to protect Users, maintain the Service and enforce these Terms.

Depending on the circumstances, these measures may include:

• issuing warnings;
• disconnecting conversations;
• restricting features;
• removing content where technically applicable;
• temporarily suspending access;
• permanently banning Users;
• restricting accounts or devices;
• restricting IP addresses where appropriate; or
• referring suspected illegal activity to competent authorities where required by law.

Moderation decisions may be made using human review, automated systems or a combination of both.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide Users with information about moderation decisions and available methods of challenging those decisions.

12. Circumventing Bans

You must not intentionally circumvent a suspension, restriction or permanent ban.

Circumvention may include creating replacement accounts, manipulating device information, using automation or taking other technical measures intended specifically to defeat an access restriction.

Attempting to circumvent enforcement measures may result in additional restrictions.

13. Security and Malicious Activity

You must not:

• attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems;
• probe or scan our systems for vulnerabilities without authorization;
• interfere with the operation of LiveStranger;
• distribute malware or viruses;
• perform denial-of-service attacks;
• scrape the Service using unauthorized automated tools;
• operate bots or scripts that interfere with normal use;
• bypass technical security measures;
• reverse engineer software except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• obtain data from other Users through unauthorized means; or
• encourage another person to perform any of these activities.

Authorized security research must only be performed with our prior written permission.

14. Intellectual Property

Except for User Content and third-party materials, the LiveStranger website, branding, software, interface, logos, graphics, design and other original materials are owned by us or licensed to us.

Applicable copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws protect these materials.

You may not reproduce, distribute, sell or commercially exploit our intellectual property without permission.

15. Third-Party Services

LiveStranger may use or link to third-party services.

These may include hosting providers, analytics services, authentication services, communication infrastructure, payment processors or external websites.

Third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for third-party websites or services that are outside our reasonable control.

16. Availability of the Service

We aim to keep LiveStranger available and functioning properly, but uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.

The Service may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, software updates, server failures, network problems, security incidents, third-party service interruptions, technical errors or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, update or discontinue features where reasonably necessary.

17. Suspension and Termination

We may restrict or suspend access to LiveStranger where we reasonably believe that:

• these Terms have been violated;
• our Community Rules have been violated;
• a User poses a risk to other Users;
• fraudulent or malicious activity has occurred;
• the User is under 18;
• suspension is required by law; or
• restriction is reasonably necessary to protect the Service or its Users.

Serious violations may result in immediate permanent suspension.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide information concerning the reason for the restriction and any available complaint or appeal procedure.

18. User-to-User Interactions

LiveStranger provides the technical means for Users to communicate.

We do not control everything another User says or does.

Exercise appropriate caution when communicating with strangers online.

If you decide to communicate with a User outside LiveStranger or meet another User in person, you do so based on your own decision.

Never send money or financial information to someone simply because you met them through LiveStranger.

19. Paid Features

LiveStranger may offer optional paid features, digital services or subscriptions in the future.

Where paid services are offered, the applicable price, billing period, renewal conditions and cancellation rights will be presented before purchase.

Any mandatory consumer rights under applicable law remain unaffected.

Additional payment or refund terms may apply to paid services.

20. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

In particular, we do not exclude liability for damage resulting from:

• intentional misconduct;
• gross negligence;
• injury to life, body or health where legally attributable to us; or
• liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

For ordinary negligence, liability may be limited in accordance with applicable German law, particularly where no essential contractual obligation has been breached.

Where liability arises from the negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, liability may be limited to damage that was reasonably foreseeable and typical for this type of contract, where legally permitted.

Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

21. No Guarantee Regarding Other Users

We do not guarantee:

• that another User has provided accurate information;
• another User's identity;
• another User's intentions;
• another User's behaviour;
• that a User will comply with these Terms; or
• that every violation will be detected before you encounter it.

Reporting and moderation systems reduce risk but cannot eliminate all harmful behaviour.

22. Changes to the Service

We may update or modify LiveStranger to improve functionality, security, safety or legal compliance.

Features may be introduced, changed or removed.

Where a change materially affects an existing contractual relationship with Users, we will comply with applicable notice and consent requirements.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms where reasonably necessary, including because of changes to the Service, new features, security requirements, legal or regulatory changes, or changes necessary to prevent abuse.

The current version and its effective date will be published on this page.

Where required by law, we will provide reasonable notice before material changes become effective or obtain the User's consent.

24. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection laws that apply in the User's country of residence.

Nothing in these Terms removes mandatory rights available to consumers under applicable European Union or national law.

25. Severability

If an individual provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

Applicable statutory provisions will apply in place of an invalid provision where required.
