Terms of Service
Last updated: 21 August 2026 — draft, pending legal review
This document is a working draft prepared for review by qualified legal counsel. It is published for transparency while the service is in its early, invitation-based stage.
1. About the service
Ashegham ("the Service") is an online platform that connects Iranian adults — inside Iran and across the diaspora — who are seeking serious relationships and marriage. The Service is operated by the site owner ("we", "us").
By creating an account you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into marriage under the laws applicable to you.
You agree to provide accurate information about yourself and to keep it accurate. One person may hold one account.
3. Your account
You are responsible for keeping your password and access to your email address secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
If you use sign-in with Google, you are also responsible for the security of your Google account.
4. Acceptable use
You may not use the Service to harass, threaten, defraud, or deceive other members; to impersonate anyone; to solicit money, services, or investment; to advertise; to send spam; to share illegal content; or to scrape or automate access to the Service.
We may investigate reports from members and take action, including content removal, restriction, suspension, or account termination.
5. Moderation and verification
Profile photos are reviewed before becoming publicly visible. Members may optionally submit selfie or identity verification; supporting evidence is examined by our team and permanently deleted immediately after a decision is reached.
Verification indicates only that we have reviewed the submitted material. It is not a guarantee of identity, background, or intentions. Always use your own judgment when interacting with others.
6. Premium and gift codes
Some features are available through a paid Premium plan. Premium may be purchased directly where payment is available, or activated with a gift code purchased on your behalf.
Gift codes are valid for the period stated on them, are not redeemable for cash, and cannot be transferred. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable once a plan period has started.
7. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that introductions made through it will lead to any particular outcome.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profit, or goodwill arising from your use of the Service.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
9. Termination
You may delete your account at any time from Settings; deletion removes your profile, photos, and personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or the law, or where we believe it is necessary to protect members or the Service.
10. Changes
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law and contact
The governing law and venue will be confirmed with legal counsel. Questions and notices: [email protected].
