Effective July 27, 2026
These terms cover your use of the LISTND app and website, what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you.
LISTND is a social podcast app operated by Sonya William ("LISTND", "we", "us"). These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and us, and they govern your use of the LISTND app, our website at https://listnd.app and any related services (together, the "Service").
By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect and how we handle it. It forms part of these Terms.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, or older if the law where you live sets a higher minimum age for using a service like this one.
If you are under 18 you are still a minor where we are, and you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
We may suspend or close an account we reasonably believe belongs to someone below the minimum age that applies to them.
You may not use the Service if we have previously terminated your account, or if doing so would be unlawful where you are.
You need an account to use most of the Service. You agree to give accurate information when you sign up and to keep it current. You are responsible for activity that happens through your account, so keep your sign-in method secure and tell us promptly at support@listnd.app if you think someone else has access to it.
Some of what you do on LISTND is visible to other people using it. That includes your profile and display name, the lists you choose to make public, the shows and episodes you like, who you follow, and your activity where the app surfaces it. Lists you keep unlisted are not shown to other people through those surfaces. The app indicates which is which and you can change it.
Some public content also has a page on our website that can be opened by anyone with the link, so a profile or a list can be seen by someone who does not have the app. Treat anything you make public as capable of reaching anyone.
The text you write yourself, such as a list title or description, your display name or a note you attach to a share, is visible to whoever can see the thing it is attached to. Write it accordingly.
You can delete your account at any time from within the app. Deletion is described in section 13.
This is the most important thing to understand about the Service.
LISTND is a listening and cataloguing client. We do not create, own, host, edit or control podcast content. Shows and episodes reach the Service through publicly available RSS feeds and third-party podcast directories and databases. Audio files, artwork, show notes, transcripts and chapters are hosted by the publisher or by the publisher's hosting provider, and playing an episode in LISTND streams or downloads it from those third-party servers.
Consequences of that, all of which you accept:
If you publish a podcast and you want your feed removed from LISTND, or corrected, write to support@listnd.app from an address associated with the show and we will action it. Section 9 covers this in more detail.
"Your Content" means anything you contribute to the Service: lists and their titles and descriptions, likes, your display name and any profile image the app lets you set, the shows and episodes you select in answer to a profile prompt, shares you send and any note you write in them, reports and feedback, and anything else you submit.
The prompts on your profile are written by us. What you contribute is your answer, which is a show or an episode you choose.
You keep ownership of Your Content. You are responsible for it, and you confirm that you have the rights you need to post it and that posting it does not break the law or these Terms.
To let us run the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical purposes such as formatting and resizing, publish, display and distribute Your Content, but only for the purpose of operating, improving, securing and promoting the Service. Where Your Content is set to be visible to other users, that licence extends to letting those users see it and interact with it through the features the app provides.
This licence lasts as long as Your Content is on the Service, and it ends when you delete Your Content or your account, subject to a reasonable period for removal from backups and to copies other users may already have saved outside the Service. Content you contributed to a shared or public surface may persist in another user's saved material or in cached copies we do not control.
We do not claim ownership of the podcast content your lists and likes refer to. A list is your selection and arrangement, and your rights in it are rights in that selection, not in the underlying shows.
We may, but are not obliged to, use Your Content to promote the Service, for example by featuring a list. Tell us at support@listnd.app if you would rather we did not.
The Service lets you send a show or an episode to another person on LISTND, together with a note if you choose to write one. That is a one-way send. There is no reply channel, no thread and no conversation, and the recipient cannot answer you through the Service. Please understand the following before you use it:
LISTND is a social space. These rules apply to everything you put into the Service, including your profile, your lists and their titles and descriptions, your display name, and any note you write in a share. You agree not to:
Nothing in these Terms restricts your ability to express an opinion about a podcast, about the Service or about us, including a negative one, wherever you choose to express it.
The Service includes tools to report a list, to report a user and to block another user. Please use them. You can also report anything to us at support@listnd.app, including a share you have received and the note written in it.
We review reports and act on them within a reasonable time. Where content or conduct breaks these Terms we may remove or restrict the content, limit a feature, suspend an account or terminate it, with or without notice depending on the severity. We may also filter or remove content proactively.
We are not obliged to monitor the Service, and we do not pre-screen content. We do not guarantee that we will catch everything or that any particular decision we reach is the one you would have reached. Where we can, and where it is appropriate, we will tell you what we did and why, and you can respond by writing to support@listnd.app.
If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@listnd.app including:
We will respond to properly made notices, and we may remove material or disable access to it. If we remove Your Content on the basis of a notice we will tell you, and you may respond. We may terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe.
If your complaint is about the content of a podcast itself rather than about something a LISTND user posted, please also contact the publisher or the publisher's hosting provider, since they hold the material and we do not.
LISTND, our logo and the design, code and text of the Service are ours or our licensors'. These Terms do not give you any right to use them beyond using the Service as intended. Podcast names and artwork belong to their publishers.
If you publish a podcast:
The Service relies on third parties, including Apple, our hosting and database providers, podcast directories and index services, and the publishers and hosting providers of every show. Those parties have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them. Links out of the app are provided for convenience only.
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the LISTND app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's App Store Terms of Service, and to use the Service for your own non-commercial use. The app is licensed, not sold, to you. All rights we do not expressly grant are reserved.
The following applies to the app as distributed through the Apple App Store, and Apple requires it:
The Service is free to use today and carries no advertising that we sell or place.
We are not promising that this never changes. LISTND has to pay for itself eventually and how it does that is not settled, so we may in future introduce paid features, a subscription, advertising or some other way of funding the Service. If we do, we will update these Terms first and give notice as described in section 18, and we will describe any price clearly before you buy anything. Purchases made through the app are processed by Apple under Apple's terms, including Apple's refund policy.
None of that changes section 4. Advertising inside podcast audio is placed there by publishers and their hosting providers, not by us.
You are responsible for your own data charges and for the cost of your internet connection.
You may stop using the Service at any time, and you may delete your account from within the app. Deleting your account removes your profile and your content from the Service, and we delete or de-identify the associated personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. Some records may persist where we are required to keep them or where they exist in another user's copy of a shared item, and content you sent to another user may remain visible to them.
We may suspend or terminate your access, or remove content, if you break these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use exposes us or other users to legal risk or harm, or if we stop offering the Service. Where it is reasonable to do so we will give you notice first.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive it, including sections 4, 5, 8, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for any warranties, conditions or guarantees that applicable consumer protection law gives you and that cannot be excluded, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or accuracy.
In particular we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free or secure, that playback positions, listening history, downloads or lists will never be lost or incorrect, that any show or episode will remain available, that metadata will be accurate, or that defects will be corrected.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right you have under Ontario consumer protection law or any other consumer protection law that applies to you and that cannot be excluded by agreement, and nothing in these Terms negates or varies any deemed or implied condition or warranty that applicable law does not permit us to negate or vary.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject always to the paragraph below:
Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and any liability arising from a breach of a condition or warranty that applicable consumer protection legislation does not permit us to limit. If you are a consumer in Ontario, this section does not place a monetary limit on any claim you make for breach of a condition or warranty under the Sale of Goods Act or under the Consumer Protection Act.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so parts of sections 14 and 15 may not apply to you. In that case those parts apply to the fullest extent the law allows.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against reasonable losses, liabilities and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of a third-party claim caused by Your Content, by your breach of these Terms or by your unlawful use of the Service. This does not apply to the extent the claim results from our own act or omission, and it does not apply to you as a consumer where applicable consumer protection law prohibits it. We will tell you about any claim we ask you to cover and give you a reasonable opportunity to participate in its defence.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict of laws rules. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the place where you live.
If something goes wrong, please write to us first at support@listnd.app. Most things can be sorted out that way, and we will do our best to resolve your concern before anyone goes near a court.
If it cannot be resolved, the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction, and you and we both submit to them. Nothing in these Terms requires you to submit a dispute to arbitration, prevents you from bringing an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, or prevents you from commencing or joining a class proceeding. You may also bring a claim in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over you.
LISTND is available in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. Wherever you are, the mandatory consumer protection law of the place where you live continues to apply to you, and these Terms do not take it away, and nothing in sections 14, 15 or 16 limits a right that the law where you live does not permit us to limit.
If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom where you live, and you have rights over your personal information under the UK GDPR, including rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and a right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
If you are in Japan, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information applies to our handling of your personal information.
Our Privacy Policy explains how to exercise those rights and identifies the lawful bases we rely on.
We may update these Terms as the Service changes or as the law requires. If a change is material we will give reasonable notice, in the app or by email, before it takes effect, and we will update the effective date at the top. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and delete your account.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect and the unenforceable provision is limited only to the minimum extent necessary. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, an acquisition or a sale of assets, on notice to you.
