Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 3 July 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Daahqaad. Please read them. Using the app means you accept them.

1Acceptance of these terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Daahqaad app and website (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required to use online services in your country, whichever is higher. By using the Service you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

3Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@daahqaad.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You may not impersonate others or use a username you have no right to use.

4Your content

You keep ownership of the stories, comments, audio, and other content you create (“Your Content”). To operate the Service, you grant Daahqaad a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely to provide and promote the Service, for example by showing your story to readers or carrying your voice to a live room.

You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights to share it. We may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law.

5Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Post or broadcast unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, or defamatory material.
  • Share sexual content involving minors, or any content that exploits or endangers children.
  • Infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
  • Spam, scam, defraud, or mislead other people.
  • Distribute malware, or attempt to disrupt, hack, or reverse-engineer the Service.
  • Record or redistribute another person’s audio outside the Service without their consent.
  • Collect other users’ data without permission.

6Live audio & recording

Hosts control their live rooms. A host can approve speakers, mute participants, and remove or block people. When you speak in a room, other participants can hear you and see your name and photo unless you join privately.

A host may record a live session. By speaking in a room where recording is enabled, you consent to your audio being recorded and later made available as an on-demand episode. If you do not consent, do not speak in that room.

7Moderation & blocking

To keep Daahqaad safe, any user can report content or a live podcast, and hosts can mute, remove, or block participants from a single session or from all of their sessions. If a host blocks you, you will not be able to join their affected rooms until they unblock you. We may also remove content or restrict accounts that breach these Terms. These tools are provided in good faith and do not create a duty for us to monitor all content.

8Intellectual property

The Daahqaad name, logo, design, and software are owned by Daahqaad and protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our branding without our prior written permission. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9Third-party services

The Service relies on trusted providers, including Supabase and Amazon Web Services (including Amazon IVS for live audio). Your use of the Service may also be subject to the terms of the app stores through which you download it. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

10Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that content shared by other users is accurate or lawful.

11Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Daahqaad will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

12Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or where necessary to protect the Service or its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, such as content licences already granted, disclaimers, and limitations of liability, will continue to apply.

13Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Somalia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Where you have mandatory legal rights under the law of your country of residence, nothing in these Terms affects those rights.

14Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
