Terms of service

The agreement

By creating an account or using Sonket you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.

Sonket is operated by Md Obydullah, an individual based in Bangladesh. You can reach us at [email protected] or on X at @0xObydul.

What Sonket is

Sonket is a read-only tool. It watches public posts on X for the topics, mentions and accounts you choose, and drafts replies that you may post yourself. It never acts on your X account: no posting, no likes, no follows, no replies, no messages.

Your use of X stays under X's own terms and rules. You are responsible for everything you post there, including anything you post after Sonket drafted it.

The posts Sonket shows you are public posts, fetched from the X API and shown to you for your own use inside the product. We do not give you any rights over them beyond that, and the people who wrote them keep everything they had before.

Your account

An account is for one person. Give us accurate details, keep your sign-in safe, and be 16 or older. Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has used your account.

You are responsible for what happens under your account, including reads that your watches trigger and the balance they spend. Do not share your sign-in, and do not use one account to serve several people or several businesses.

Acceptable use

While using Sonket you agree not to:

• harass anyone, send spam, or run coordinated reply campaigns
• resell or scrape the data Sonket collects for you
• work around our rate limits, or around X's rules and limits
• use the service for anything illegal
• reverse engineer the service
• access the service automatically by any means other than what we provide

Sonket exists so that you can be the first useful reply in a conversation. It is not a bulk reply machine, and using it that way is a breach of these terms as well as of X's rules.

Prices and payment

Sonket runs on a prepaid balance. You are charged per post read, at the rates shown on the pricing page. Those rates can change, and we will give notice on the site before they do. New accounts get a small free credit, once per person.

Top-ups are final and are not refundable, including any unused balance left when you delete your account. Crypto top-ups are credited once we have verified the transaction, which is usually quick. The bring-your-own-keys add-on lasts 30 days per purchase and does not renew by itself.

Spend limits are a tool to help you keep control of your costs. They are not a guarantee. If a billing error happens in either direction, we may correct it.

Your own keys

If you add your own X or model keys, you are the customer of those vendors. You pay their fees and you accept their terms. We use the keys only to run your own projects.

We cannot control what those vendors charge you, and we are not responsible if one of them limits, suspends or revokes your key. If that happens, your watches stop until you fix the key or switch back to our own.

AI drafts

A draft reply is a suggestion produced by an AI model. It can be wrong, out of date or inappropriate. Review every draft before you post it. What you post is yours, and so is the responsibility for it.

Availability

We run Sonket on a best effort basis and we do not guarantee uptime. The five-minute window depends on the X API, which can change its terms, slow down, or cut access at any time. We may change or retire features as the product grows.

If a read cannot be made, no post appears and nothing is charged for it. We may pause polling for maintenance, to protect the service, or when a cost we do not control moves sharply.

Ending the agreement

You can pause or delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or end an account for breaking these terms, for abuse that costs us money, or when the law requires it. We will give notice where we can.

When an account ends, watches stop and no further reads are made. What happens to your data after that, including the 7 day window in which you can restore a deleted account, is set out in the privacy policy.

Liability

Sonket is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the three months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Bangladesh, and disputes belong to the courts of Dhaka, unless the consumer law where you live says otherwise.

Changes to these terms

We post updates on this page with a new date. Continuing to use Sonket after an update means you accept it. Material changes are announced by email to account holders.
