Hivroj Terms of Use

Last updated: 9 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Hivroj ("we") about your use of the Hivroj mobile app and hivroj.com ("Hivroj", the "service"). Please read them carefully. How your personal data is processed is explained in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

1. Acceptance and scope

By creating an account or using Hivroj you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use Hivroj. These terms apply to every feature of the service (posting, Discover, Nearby People, messaging, ads).

2. Who can use Hivroj

• Hivroj may only be used by people aged 18 and over who have the legal capacity to enter into a contract.
• A person whose account has been permanently closed for breaking the rules may not open a new account.
• If you open an account on behalf of a person or an organisation, you must be authorised to do so.

3. Your account

• The information you give when signing up must be accurate and up to date. You may not open an account in someone else's name without their permission.
• You are responsible for the security of your account and password. Tell us immediately if you notice unauthorised use. If you sign in with Google or Apple, the security of that account is also the security of your Hivroj account.
• You can delete your account at any time (Settings › Delete account, or hivroj.com/delete-account).

4. Community rules

To keep Hivroj safe and respectful for everyone, the following content and behaviour are not allowed. We have zero tolerance for them.

• Sexual content, nudity and sexual exploitation.
• Any content that exploits children. It is strictly prohibited and is reported to the competent authorities.
• Hate speech: demeaning or targeting a person or group because of ethnicity, language, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics.
• Harassment, bullying, threats, glorifying or calling for violence, and propaganda for terrorist organisations.
• Spam, misleading content, fraud and impersonating others.
• Selling or promoting illegal goods or services.
• Sharing other people's personal information, private photos or messages without their permission.
• Infringing other people's copyrights and trademarks.
• Scraping Hivroj with automated tools; trying to break into, disrupt or get around the security of our systems; or using a modified or reverse-engineered version of the app.

If you make a paid partnership or sponsored post, you must say so clearly with the app's "paid partnership" label.

5. Your content and the licence you give

• The content you post belongs to you. By posting it you give Hivroj permission to store, display, reproduce (e.g. create thumbnails), adapt the format of and otherwise process it as needed to provide the service. This licence is worldwide, free of charge and non-exclusive, and it ends when you delete the content or your account (legal retention obligations and copies others have already shared are not affected).
• You must hold all the rights needed for the content you post, and your content must comply with these terms and the law.
• The Hivroj name, logo, design and the app itself belong to Hivroj. We give you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right to use Hivroj for personal, non-commercial purposes in line with these terms.

6. Illegal content and infringement notices

You can report content you believe is illegal, or that infringes your copyright, trademark or personal rights, with Report in the content's "···" menu or from Settings › Help & support. In your notice, include a link to the content, why it is illegal, if you are the rights holder information showing your right, and your contact details, and confirm that your notice is accurate and made in good faith. We review notices without undue delay, remove or disable access to content where we consider it necessary, and tell you the outcome. We may restrict accounts that knowingly submit false notices.

7. Moderation, decisions and appeals

• Posts are reviewed by automated systems and human moderators; details are in section 3 of the Privacy Policy.
• If the rules are broken, content may be hidden or removed, your account may receive a warning, certain features (posting, commenting, messaging, appearing in Discover) may be restricted for a period, and the account may be suspended or closed. The measure depends on how serious the breach is and whether it is repeated.
• Every decision about you is notified with its reason and the rule it is based on. You can appeal in Settings › Account status; a person reviews your appeal and tells you the result.
• End-to-end encrypted messages are not scanned; a message is reviewed only when it is reported, using the copy sent from the reporting person's device.

8. Ads and third-party services

Hivroj may show ads and sponsored content; they are always labelled "Ad". Advertisers are responsible for the products and services they offer. Third-party services such as Google sign-in and maps are governed by their own terms.

9. Providing the service and changes

We work to provide Hivroj continuously, securely and without errors. Even so, the service is provided "as is"; we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or that content posted by users is accurate. Access may be paused temporarily for maintenance, security or technical reasons. We may add, change or remove features to improve the service, and we announce changes that significantly affect you in advance.

10. Liability

• The person who posts content is responsible for it. Hivroj takes the necessary steps for illegal content that is reported to it or that it detects.
• To the extent permitted by applicable law, Hivroj is not liable for indirect damages, loss of profit or loss of data arising from the use of the service.
• These limits do not affect liability for intent or gross negligence, for harm to life, body or health, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

11. Suspension and termination

• We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms, put the safety of others at risk, or where the law requires it. We tell you the decision and the reason, and how to appeal (section 7).
• You can delete your account at any time. How deletion works and when your data is fully deleted is explained in section 6 of the Privacy Policy.
• If we decide to shut down the service entirely, we will announce it a reasonable time in advance so that you can download your data.

12. Changes

We may update these terms when the service or the law changes. The current version is always published in the app and at hivroj.com/terms. We announce significant changes in the app at least 15 days before they take effect. If you do not accept the new terms, you can delete your account during that period; continuing to use Hivroj after a change takes effect means you accept the new terms.

13. General

• If any provision of these terms is found invalid, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
• Not exercising a right does not mean we have waived it.
• You may not transfer your rights and obligations under these terms without our consent. In a merger, acquisition or sale of Hivroj, these terms continue on the same conditions with the acquiring party.
• As a consumer, you benefit from the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country you live in and may bring a claim before the consumer arbitration bodies and courts there.
