Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form an integral component of the User Agreement, a legally binding contract that regulates your utilization of the Ahrar Platform. While it’s essential to peruse these Terms thoroughly, here are some crucial points to note:

  • When engaging with the Services, including posting Content, you are obligated to adhere to both this User Agreement and the relevant laws. Your usage of the Services and the Content you produce are your responsibility. You must adhere to the User Agreement, its associated policies, and all pertinent regulations.
  • It’s imperative to comply with the acceptable use terms of the Services, meaning you must access them solely through the officially provided interfaces. This prohibits actions such as scraping data or attempting to circumvent technical constraints, which could disrupt the Services.
  • Ahrar retains the right to enforce these terms and take necessary actions if violations occur, including removing Content, restricting visibility, or terminating access to the Ahrar platform. Additionally, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for reasons like extended inactivity, legal risk, or commercial impracticality.
  • Intellectual property licenses are outlined in these Terms, ensuring that while you maintain ownership of your posted Content, you grant us a broad, royalty-free license to share it with others. Conversely, we grant you a license to use our provided software, such as the Ahrar mobile application, solely for enjoying the Services.
  • Your use of the Services is at your own risk, provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, with disclaimers of warranties, responsibilities, and liabilities to the extent permitted by law. You may encounter offensive or harmful content posted by other users, and the Services may evolve over time, with features being limited or terminated at our discretion.
  • While you have remedies and redress mechanisms available, our liability is limited, as detailed in the agreement. You retain the right to terminate this agreement by deactivating your account. Note that we are not liable for certain damages, and our aggregate liability is capped.

Please be aware that these Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy and other applicable terms. Additionally, variations may apply based on your location, but regardless, you must be at least 13 years old to utilise the Ahrar platform.

The Ahrar User Agreement encompasses these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, our Rules and Policies, and all integrated policies.

Ahrar Terms of Service

The following Terms of Service (“Terms”) regulate your utilisation of our services, encompassing our website, SMS, APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, widgets, and any other covered services that are linked to these Terms (collectively referred to as the “Services”). Additionally, these Terms govern any information, text, links, graphics, photos, audio, videos, or other materials uploaded, downloaded, or displayed on the Services (referred to as “Content”). Your use of the Services indicates your agreement to abide by these Terms.

These Terms constitute an agreement between you and Issam Hijazi Pty Ltd., the provider of the Ahrar platform and its associated Services, located at 81-83 Campbell Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia. Throughout these Terms, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Issam Hijazi Pty Ltd.

1. Eligibility to Use the Services

You may use the Services only if you consent to enter into a legally binding contract with us and are not prohibited from receiving services under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Regardless, you must be at least 13 years old to utilise the Services. If you are agreeing to these Terms and accessing the Services on behalf of a company, organisation, government entity, or any other legal entity, you affirm and warrant that you have the authority to do so and to legally bind such entity to these Terms. In such instances, the terms “you” and “your” in these Terms shall refer to said entity.

2. Privacy

We adhere to our Privacy Policy (https://ahrar.social/privacy-policy), which outlines how we manage the information you provide us when utilising the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you consent to the collection and utilisation of this information, as detailed in the Privacy Policy. This includes the potential transfer of such information to any country for storage, processing, and utilisation by us and our service providers.

3. Content on the Services

You are accountable for your utilisation of the Services and for any Content you contribute, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, rules, and regulations. It’s essential to only provide Content that you’re comfortable sharing with others.

Any reliance on or use of Content or materials posted via the Services, or obtained by you through the Services, is at your own risk. We do not endorse, support, represent, or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content or communications posted via the Services, nor do we endorse any opinions expressed therein. By utilizing the Services, you acknowledge the potential exposure to Content that may be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or otherwise inappropriate, including mislabeled or deceptive postings. The responsibility for all Content lies solely with the individual originating it. We may not monitor or control Content posted via the Services, and therefore cannot assume responsibility for such Content.

We reserve the right to remove any Content that violates the User Agreement, including but not limited to copyright or trademark violations, impersonation, unlawful conduct, or harassment.

If you believe your Content has been copied in a manner constituting copyright infringement, please report it by contacting us.

Your Rights and Grant of Rights in the Content

You retain ownership rights to any Content you submit, post, or display on or through the Services. Your Content, including incorporated audio, photos, and videos, remains yours.

By submitting, posting, or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute such Content through any and all media or distribution methods, whether currently known or developed in the future (including curating, transforming, and translating). This license permits us to share your Content with the world and allows others to do the same. You agree that this license extends to our provision, promotion, and improvement of the Services, as well as making Content submitted through the Services available to other entities for syndication, broadcast, distribution, reposting, promotion, or publication on other media and services, subject to our terms and conditions for such Content use. No compensation is owed to you for such additional uses, as your use of the Services is deemed sufficient compensation for the Content and grant of rights herein.

You affirm that you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power, and/or authority required to grant the rights outlined herein for any Content you submit, post, or display on or through the Services. You further agree that such Content will not infringe upon copyright or other proprietary rights unless you possess the requisite permissions or are otherwise legally entitled to post the material and grant us the aforementioned license.

4. Using the Services

Please review our Rules and Policies, which are integral to the User Agreement and outline prohibited conduct on the Services. Your use of the Services must comply with these Terms as well as all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Ahrar takes enforcement actions when Content or user behaviour violates our Rules and Policies or pertains to sensitive media.

The Services undergo constant evolution. Consequently, we reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify the Services or any of its features, either permanently or temporarily, and may discontinue providing certain Services or features to you or users in general. We also retain the authority to impose limitations on usage and storage at our sole discretion. Moreover, we may remove or decline to distribute any Content on the Services, restrict its distribution or visibility, suspend or terminate user accounts, and reclaim usernames without incurring liability to you.

We reserve the right to access, review, retain, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to: (i) comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests; (ii) enforce these Terms, including investigating potential violations; (iii) detect, prevent, or address fraud, security issues, or technical concerns; (iv) respond to user support inquiries; or (v) safeguard the rights, property, or safety of Ahrar, its users, and the public. Personally-identifiable information is not disclosed to third parties except as stipulated in our Privacy Policy.

Your Account

To access the Services, you may need to create an account. It is your responsibility to safeguard your account by using a robust password and restricting its usage to yourself. We cannot be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to comply with these security measures.

While you have control over most communications from the Services, certain essential communications such as service announcements and administrative messages may be necessary and cannot be opted out of. If you have linked your phone number to your account and subsequently change or deactivate that number, it is your responsibility to update your account information to prevent unintended communication.

We grant you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to use the software provided as part of the Services. This license is solely intended to enable you to utilise and benefit from the Services as offered on the Ahrar platform, in accordance with these Terms.

The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of Australia and other countries. Nothing in these Terms grants you the right to use the Ahrar name or any Ahrar or Issam Hijazi Pty Ltd. trademarks, logos, domain names, or other distinctive brand features. All rights, titles, and interests in and to the Services (excluding Content provided by users) are and will remain our exclusive property or that of our licensors. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you provide regarding Ahrar or the Services are voluntary, and we may use such feedback without obligation to you.

Misuse of the Services

You agree not to misuse the Services by interfering with or accessing them using unauthorized methods. You must not circumvent technical limitations in the software provided as part of the Services, nor reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software unless expressly permitted by applicable law. While accessing or using the Services, you must not engage in any prohibited conduct, such as accessing non-public areas, probing or testing vulnerabilities, accessing or searching the Services through unauthorized means, forging packet headers, engaging in platform manipulation or spamming, or interfering with the access of other users, hosts, or networks. It is also a violation of these Terms to aid or facilitate others in violating them.

Ending These Terms

You have the option to terminate your legal agreement with us at any time by deactivating your account and discontinuing your use of the Services. Please refer to the Privacy Policy for details on how your information is handled upon termination.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Services if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms or our Rules and Policies, pose a risk to us, engage in unlawful conduct, or exhibit prolonged inactivity. Additionally, if providing the Services to you is no longer commercially viable, we may suspend or terminate your account. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you under these circumstances, either by email or when you attempt to access your account next. However, we may terminate your account for any reason or no reason, to the extent permitted by law. In such cases, the Terms shall terminate, but certain sections, including sections 2, 3, 5, 6, and the misuse provisions of Section 4, shall remain in effect. If you believe your account was terminated in error, please contact us. These Terms survive the deactivation or termination of your account.

5. Limitations of Liability

By utilizing the Services, you acknowledge and agree that the liability of Issam Hijazi Pty Ltd., its parents, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors is subject to the maximum extent permissible in your country of residence.

6. General

We reserve the right to revise these Terms periodically. Such changes will not apply retroactively, and the most current version of the Terms, which will always be accessible at ahrar.social/terms-of-service, will govern our relationship with you. Except for modifications addressing new features or legal requirements, we will provide you with a 30-day notice prior to implementing changes to these Terms that affect the rights or obligations of any party. This notice may be issued through a service notification or via email to the address associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after such revisions take effect, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms.

To the extent permitted by law, you waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative action proceeding.
