Last updated: February 15th, 2026
This website is operated by Secret Noise. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Secret Noise. Secret Noise offers this website, including all information, tools, and Services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.
By visiting our site and/ or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”, “Terms”), including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the site, including, without limitation, users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/ or contributors of content.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using our website. By accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any Services. If these Terms of Service are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms of Service.
Any new features or tools that are added to the current store shall also be subject to the Terms of Service. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and Services to you.
1. OUR SERVICES
Our Services are designed to comply with specific jurisdictions, and we can't guarantee they're appropriate for use everywhere. If you choose to access the Services from a location where doing so might violate local laws or trigger registration requirements for us, you're taking that step on your own initiative. In those cases, you're responsible for ensuring your use complies with your local regulations.
2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
We maintain full ownership or licensing rights to all intellectual property within our Services. This comprehensive protection covers everything from the technical foundation—source code, databases, and software functionality—to every element of your user experience: website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics (collectively, our "Content"). Our trademarks, service marks, and logos (the "Marks") are equally protected. These rights are secured under international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws and treaties. We provide access to this Content and these Marks "AS IS" with a clear purpose: to support your personal, non-commercial use or internal business needs. This framework protects both our innovation and your legitimate use of our Services.
Your use of our Services
By complying with these Legal Terms and the "PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES" section, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
- access the Services; and
- download or print Content you've properly accessed for personal or internal business use only.
You may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, display, transmit, distribute, sell, license, or exploit any Services, Content, or Marks for commercial purposes without our written permission.
For use requests beyond these terms, contact: contact@secretnoise.net. Any approved use requires identifying us as owners/licensors and displaying all copyright notices.
We reserve all rights not expressly granted. Violating these Intellectual Property Rights terminates your right to use our Services immediately.
Your submissions
Review this section and "PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES" before using our Services to understand your rights and obligations when posting content.
Submissions: When you send us questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other information about the Services ("Submissions"), you assign us all intellectual property rights. We own your Submission and may use it for any lawful purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledging or compensating you.
When you post or upload content to our Services, you're taking full responsibility for it. Here's what that means:
By submitting content, you're confirming that you've reviewed our "PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES" and understand that certain content is off-limits—including anything illegal, harassing, hateful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, bullying, abusive, discriminatory, threatening, sexually explicit, false, inaccurate, deceitful, or misleading.
You're also agreeing that: (1) you waive any moral rights to your submissions where the law allows; (2) your content is either your original work or you have the proper rights and licenses to share it, plus the authority to grant us the necessary permissions; and (3) your submissions don't contain confidential information.
Remember: you're solely responsible for what you submit. If your content breaches these terms, infringes on someone else's intellectual property, or violates the law, you agree to cover any losses we incur as a result.
3. USER REPRESENTATIONS
Your use of the Services requires five essential commitments from you: You must have the legal capacity to agree to these Legal Terms and commit to complying with them. You must be of legal age—not a minor—in your jurisdiction. You must access the Services as a genuine user, never through bots, scripts, or automated means. You must use the Services only for legal and authorized purposes. And you must ensure your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
Understand this: providing untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information isn't just a mistake—it's grounds for immediate action. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and permanently refuse all Service access, current and future. The integrity of our platform depends on the honesty of our users.
4. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
Our Services are designed with a clear purpose in mind, and keeping them focused ensures the best experience for everyone. That's why we require approval for any commercial use—it protects both you and our community.
To maintain this standard, you must agree to the following:
1) To protect our Services and community, you are prohibited from systematically retrieving data or content to create any collection, compilation, database, or directory without securing our prior written permission.
2) Never attempt to trick, defraud, or mislead other users or us to obtain sensitive information like passwords.
3) You must not attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security features. These safeguards protect content integrity and ensure fair use of our Services for all users.
4) You must not take any action that damages our reputation or compromises the integrity of the Services.
5) We have zero tolerance for misuse. Any information obtained through the Services must never be used to harass, abuse, or harm another person.
6) You must not misuse our support services or file false abuse reports.
7) You must not misuse the Services in violation of applicable laws or regulations.
8) Unauthorized framing or linking to the Services is prohibited.
9) To protect everyone's experience, you must refrain from uploading or transmitting any harmful or disruptive material. This includes viruses, Trojan horses, spam, repetitive text, and excessive capitalization—anything that could interfere with the seamless operation of the Services or diminish another user's enjoyment. Your cooperation ensures the Services remain secure, functional, and accessible for all.
10) To protect the integrity of our community, automated use is strictly prohibited. This includes scripts that post comments or messages, bots, data mining tools, and any automated data extraction methods.
11) All copyright and proprietary rights notices must remain intact in any Content. Removing these notices violates the terms and protects the intellectual property of content creators.
12) Don't impersonate others or use someone else's username.
13) Keep our platform clean: don't upload anything that secretly collects or transmits information. This includes tracking tools like clear gifs, tiny 1×1 pixels, web bugs, cookies, and similar devices—you might know them as "spyware" or "passive collection mechanisms."
14) Help us maintain a reliable experience for everyone by ensuring you don't interfere with, disrupt, or place undue burden on the Services or their connected networks.
15) Respectful interaction is essential. Any harassment, intimidation, threats, or annoying conduct directed at our employees or agents who deliver your Services is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate service termination.
16) Respecting our security measures protects everyone. You must not attempt to circumvent any access controls or restrictions we've put in place for the Services.
17) To protect the integrity of our Services, you agree not to copy, modify, or adapt any of our proprietary software—including Flash, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and all other code that powers our platform.
18) Unless legally permitted, you may not decipher, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any software that comprises or forms part of the Services.
19) You must not use automated systems—including spiders, robots, scrapers, or offline readers—to access the Services, except through standard search engines or browsers. Unauthorized scripts and software are also prohibited.
20) To ensure fair access for everyone, the use of buying agents or purchasing agents is strictly prohibited when making purchases on the Services.
21) To protect everyone's experience, unauthorized use is strictly prohibited. This means no harvesting usernames or emails for unsolicited messages, and no creating automated or fraudulent accounts. These rules ensure our community remains trustworthy and secure for all legitimate users.
22) You must not use the Services to compete with us or for any revenue-generating or commercial purpose.
5. USER-GENERATED CONTRIBUTIONS
We may allow you to share your content with us and on the Services. This includes everything from text and videos to photos, audio, graphics, comments, suggestions, and personal information—we call all of this "Contributions." Keep in mind that your Contributions may be seen by other users of the Services and could appear on third-party websites. When you create or share any Contributions, you're making the following promises:
6. CONTRIBUTION LICENSE
You and Services agree that we may access, store, process, and use any information and personal data you provide, including your settings.
By submitting feedback about the Services, you grant us the right to use and share it for any purpose without compensating you.
You retain full ownership of your Contributions and all associated intellectual property rights.
We bear no liability for statements in your Contributions. You are solely responsible for your Contributions and agree to release us from all responsibility and legal action related to them.
7. SERVICES MANAGEMENT
To protect you and maintain a reliable platform, we maintain essential rights to oversee our Services. We can monitor activity to catch violations early, take decisive legal action against those who break laws or our terms—including coordinating with law enforcement when necessary—and make judgment calls about restricting problematic content. When technical issues arise, such as oversized files burdening our systems, we can address them promptly without prior notice. These measures aren't obligations, but tools we keep available to safeguard our community, protect our platform's integrity, and ensure the Services function properly for everyone.
8. TERM AND TERMINATION
These Legal Terms apply for the duration of your Service use.
WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SERVICES OR DELETE ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION THAT YOU POSTED AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
Account termination or suspension means permanent removal from our platform. You forfeit the right to return under any circumstances—using your name, an alias, or acting on behalf of others. We will enforce this policy rigorously and maintain our full legal authority to seek civil damages, criminal prosecution, and court orders to protect our platform and community.
9. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS
We may change, modify, or remove any Service content at our discretion without notice or obligation to update. We are not liable for any modifications, price changes, suspensions, or discontinuities.
Service availability is not guaranteed due to potential hardware, software, or maintenance issues causing interruptions or errors. We may change, suspend, or discontinue Services at any time without notice. You agree we have no liability for losses from your inability to access Services during downtime. We are not obligated to maintain, support, or provide updates to the Services.
10. GOVERNING LAW
These Legal Terms are governed by United Kingdom law. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of UK courts for any disputes arising from these Terms.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
We believe in resolving issues efficiently and affordably. That's why both parties commit to negotiating any dispute related to these Legal Terms informally for at least 30 days before pursuing arbitration (except where specifically excluded below). This approach saves time, reduces expenses, and often leads to better outcomes for everyone involved. Either party can initiate this process simply by providing written notice to the other.
Binding Arbitration
Disputes arising from these Legal Terms shall be resolved by the International Commercial Arbitration Court under the European Arbitration Chamber (Avenue Louise, 146, Brussels, Belgium) according to its Rules. Three arbitrators will preside. The arbitration seat is London, proceedings will be in English, and UK substantive law governs these Terms.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) no Dispute may be arbitrated on a class-action basis or utilize class action procedures; and (c) no Dispute may be brought in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
Not everything goes to arbitration. The Parties agree that three types of Disputes bypass the informal negotiation and arbitration process: (a) any Disputes about enforcing, protecting, or validating either Party's intellectual property rights; (b) any Disputes involving allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claims seeking injunctive relief. Here's what happens if a court finds this provision illegal or unenforceable: neither Party can force arbitration for Disputes affected by that invalid portion. Instead, those Disputes go straight to a court of competent jurisdiction from the list above, and both Parties agree to submit to that court's authority.
12. CORRECTIONS
The Services may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in descriptions, pricing, availability, and other information. We reserve the right to correct these issues and update information at any time without notice.
13. DISCLAIMER
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICES' CONTENT OR THE CONTENT OF ANY WEBSITES OR MOBILE APPLICATIONS LINKED TO THE SERVICES. WE WILL ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (1) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT AND MATERIALS, (2) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, (3) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION AND/OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, (4) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES, (5) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY, AND/OR (6) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT AND MATERIALS OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES. WE DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICES, ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, OR ANY WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING. WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. AS WITH THE PURCHASE OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH ANY MEDIUM OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, YOU SHOULD USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHERE APPROPRIATE.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US OR CERTAIN US STATE LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless (including our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, partners, and employees) from any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from: (1) your use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) breach of your representations and warranties; (4) violation of third-party rights, including intellectual property rights; or (5) harmful acts toward other users you connected with via the Services. We may assume exclusive defense of any such matter at your expense, and you agree to cooperate. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of claims subject to this indemnification.
16. USER DATA
We maintain data you transmit and usage data to manage Services performance. While we perform routine backups, you remain solely responsible for all data you transmit or generate through the Services. We bear no liability for data loss or corruption, and you waive any related claims against us.
17. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES
When you visit the Services, email us, or fill out online forms, you're communicating with us electronically. By doing so, you're agreeing to receive electronic communications from us. This means all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we send you—whether by email or through the Services—meet the legal requirement of being "in writing." YOU'RE ALSO AGREEING TO USE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AS WELL AS RECEIVE NOTICES, POLICIES, AND TRANSACTION RECORDS ELECTRONICALLY. By accepting these terms, you're waiving any legal requirements for original signatures, paper records, or non-electronic payment methods that might otherwise apply.
18. MISCELLANEOUS
These Legal Terms and our posted policies constitute the complete agreement between you and us. Non-enforcement of any provision doesn't waive our rights. These Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. We may transfer our rights and obligations at any time and aren't liable for events beyond our reasonable control. Unlawful provisions are severable and don't invalidate the remaining Terms. These Terms don't create any partnership, employment, or agency relationship between us. You agree these Terms won't be construed against us as the drafter and waive defenses based on their electronic form or lack of physical signature.
