Terms of Service

These terms are a contract between you and [YOUR_LEGAL_ENTITY](“Avahit”, “we”), registered in [YOUR_JURISDICTION]. By creating an account you accept them.

1. Who may use Avahit

You must be at least 16 years old. One person, one account. If we terminate your account you may not open another without our written consent.

2. Your content stays yours

You keep ownership of everything you post. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, resize, transcode and display your posts inside Avahit and in previews of Avahit links shared elsewhere. This licence exists only so the service can function; it ends when you delete the content, except for copies already cached by third parties beyond our control.

We do not sell your content, licence it to other companies, or use it to train models.

3. What you may post

You confirm that for every post you have the right to publish the media you upload. Do not post:

Photos or video you did not create and are not licensed to use.
Counterfeit goods, replicas, or listings that misrepresent what is being sold.
Sexual content, content involving minors, violence, or hate speech.
Products that are illegal to sell in the buyer’s country: weapons, drugs, prescription medicines, live animals.
Malware, phishing links, or redirects to a destination different from the one shown.
Automated bulk posting, scraped catalogues, or content generated purely to farm clicks.

4. Affiliate links

You may post your own affiliate links and keep the commission. In return you are responsible for complying with the disclosure rules that apply to you — in the United States that is the FTC Endorsement Guides, in the EU the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. Avahit labels outbound links automatically (see the Affiliate Disclosure), but that does not transfer your own legal obligations to us.

You must also honour the terms of the affiliate programmes you participate in. If a merchant bans a traffic source, that is between you and the merchant.

5. Moderation

We may remove any post, limit its distribution, or suspend an account when we believe these terms have been broken — including on the report of another user or a rights holder. Where we remove content we tell the author through in-app notifications. If you think a removal was wrong, reply to that notification or write to [CONTACT_EMAIL] and a human will review it.

6. We are not the seller

Avahit displays products sold by third parties. We are not a party to your purchase and give no warranty about price, availability, authenticity, delivery or refunds. Complaints about an order go to the store you bought from.

7. Ending the relationship

You can delete your account at any time in Settings; this removes your posts, boards, comments and profile from Avahit. We may suspend or close an account that repeatedly breaks these terms, or immediately in cases of fraud, copyright abuse or risk to other users.

8. Liability

The service is provided as-is. To the extent permitted by the law of [YOUR_JURISDICTION], we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profit or lost commission. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death, personal injury or fraud.

9. Changes

We will post any material change here at least 14 days before it takes effect and notify signed-in users in the app. Continuing to use Avahit after that date means you accept the new version.
