AfterMeet Terms of Use

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of AfterMeet, including the website at aftermeet.ing, the web app and the mobile apps (the "Service"), operated by TEQNEIA ICT (commercial registration no. 83075) ("we", "us").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Business use only

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

4. Your account

• Email identifier: Your email address is your account identifier. There are no passwords; you sign in with a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to your email.
• Registration: New users can register only through a valid group invitation link or code, unless they purchase a paid plan.
• Accuracy: You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. Name and mobile number are required; other profile fields are optional.
• Security: Keep access to your email secure. You are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us immediately at support@teqneia.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
• One person per account: You may not impersonate anyone or create accounts on someone else's behalf without permission.

5. Groups

• Each group is private and separate. Members of one group cannot see or contact members of another group through that group.
• You join a group using its invitation link, QR code or code. You may leave any group at any time.
• Group owners (paid subscribers) can edit group details, regenerate or revoke invitation links, approve or remove members, moderate messages, transfer ownership and delete the group. Owners are responsible for how they manage their groups and for inviting only people with a legitimate connection to the event or community.
• If a group is deleted, its members lose access to that group and its chat.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of the profile information and messages you post ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display and transmit Your Content only as needed to operate the Service. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems.

You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to share it.

7. Acceptable use

You must not:

• Send spam, bulk unsolicited promotions or chain messages
• Harvest, scrape, export or resell other members' data, or use it outside the purpose of business networking
• Harass, threaten, defame or discriminate against anyone
• Share unlawful, obscene, violent or hateful content, or content that infringes others' rights
• Share malware, phishing links or fraudulent offers
• Impersonate any person or company, or misrepresent your affiliation
• Attempt to bypass security, rate limits or plan limits, or access accounts or groups you are not a member of
• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law, including Egyptian law

You can report or block any user from their profile or a message. We review reports and may remove content, restrict features or suspend accounts that breach these Terms.

8. Messaging

• The Service offers group chat and one-to-one chat. One-to-one chat is available only between users who share at least one group, and you can turn off direct messages in your settings.
• Messages can include text, voice notes and attachments, within the size limits shown in the app.
• 15-day retention: Messages are kept on our servers until delivered, for a maximum of 15 days, and are then permanently deleted. AfterMeet is not a message archive. Save anything you need to keep.
• New group members can see the group's messages from the previous 15 days.
• Group owners may delete messages in their groups and restrict posting to announcements only.
• Contacting members through WhatsApp or other external services is subject to those services' own terms. We are not responsible for communications outside AfterMeet.

9. Plans and subscriptions

• Guest (free): join groups, view profiles, and use group and one-to-one chat. Guests cannot create groups.
• Paid plans (Coffee, Lunch, Gala): create and manage groups within the group and connection limits of your plan, as shown on our pricing page. "Connections" means unique members across all groups you own. Venue plans are agreed by separate contract.
• Annual renewal: Subscriptions are annual and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
• Billing & Refunds: In-app purchases are billed and managed by Apple or Google under their terms, including cancellation and refunds. Web purchases are billed through Paymob, PayPal or Stripe; refund requests for web purchases can be made within 14 days of the initial purchase.
• A 14-day free trial may be offered; unless cancelled before it ends, the subscription starts automatically.
• Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated charges. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal.
• 14-day Grace Period: If your subscription ends, your groups become read-only for a 14-day grace period. If you do not renew, the groups stay read-only (no new members or messages) until you subscribe again. We do not delete your groups automatically.
• Prices may change. Changes apply from your next renewal, and we will notify you at least 30 days beforehand.

10. Founding Host program

11. Rewards program

• Group owners on a paid plan earn 1 point for every US$1 actually paid by a subscriber who first joined AfterMeet through one of their groups, on the initial subscription and each renewal while both remain subscribed.
• Points are pending for 30 days, then confirmed. Points are reversed if the related payment is refunded or charged back.
• 10 points = US$1 discount. Points can be used on your renewal (up to a fully free renewal), for connection add-ons, or as upgrade credit. In-app redemptions may be applied in fixed discount steps (25%, 50%, 75% or 100%).
• New subscribers referred through a group receive 10% off their first year.
• Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, unless we introduce a cash-out option with its own terms.
• Points expire after 24 months of account inactivity. Points transfer only with group ownership as described in section 10.
• We may suspend points or accounts involved in fraud or abuse of the program, and may change or end the program with 30 days' notice; confirmed points remain usable for at least 90 days after the program ends.

12. Our intellectual property

The Service, including the AfterMeet name, logo, software and design, belongs to TEQNEIA ICT and its licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use the Service under these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell the Service.

13. Suspension and termination

• You can delete your account at any time in the app. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an in-app subscription; cancel it through Apple or Google.
• We may suspend or terminate your account, with notice where reasonable, if you breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us or other users, or if required by law.
• On termination, your right to use the Service ends, and your data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Unused reward points are forfeited if an account is terminated for breach.

14. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, or the accuracy of information members provide about themselves. We do not verify members' identities or business claims and are not a party to any deal or arrangement between members. Use your own judgment when doing business with other members.

15. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, loss of profits, data or business opportunities. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50 if you have not paid. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

16. Indemnity

You agree to compensate us for claims, losses and costs arising from Your Content, your misuse of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Disputes will be settled by the competent courts of Cairo, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights you have where you live. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally within 30 days.
