By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using Afaan, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. Agreement and eligibility
By accessing the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. An account holder must be age 18 or older and able to form a binding agreement in their location. A parent or legal guardian must manage every dependent learner profile.
2. Accounts
Provide accurate information, keep sign-in access secure, and notify us of suspected misuse. You are responsible for activity under your account. Children do not receive account, payment, or contact credentials. Organization and school administrators must limit access to authorized adults under a separate written agreement.
3. Educational purpose
Afaan supports language and cultural learning but does not guarantee fluency, grades, admission, certification, employment, or a particular educational outcome. School tools support educators and do not replace their professional judgment.
4. Travel information
Explore Oromia content is educational and planning information, not a guarantee of safety, accessibility, opening hours, prices, weather, transport, or local requirements. Confirm current conditions with official and local sources before travel.
5. Acceptable use
- Do not harm, harass, exploit, or endanger another person.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access, interfere with security, scrape at scale, or distribute malicious code.
- Do not upload unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or inappropriate content.
- Do not use child or school features to collect information unrelated to learning.
- Do not misrepresent affiliation with Afaan, a school, or a community organization.
6. Content and intellectual property
Afaan and its licensors retain rights in the application, curriculum, recordings, writing, design, software, and brand materials. A limited, personal, non-transferable right is granted to use the Services under these Terms. User content remains yours, while you grant us the limited permission needed to host and operate it.
7. Subscriptions and payment
Afaan offers automatically renewing Individual and Family subscriptions. The price, billing period, applicable taxes, included features, and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Website subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Purchases offered inside the iOS app are processed only through Apple’s In-App Purchase system and are also governed by Apple’s applicable payment terms.
Unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal, a subscription may renew for the selected monthly or annual period and the applicable payment account will be charged. Website subscribers can manage or cancel through Afaan’s secure billing portal. Apple subscribers can manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Cancellation stops future renewal; access ordinarily continues through the already-paid period. Refund requests are handled by the provider that processed the purchase and under applicable law.
Referral codes and Stripe discounts apply only where displayed during website checkout. They do not change the price of an Apple In-App Purchase. Family features are for the account owner and authorized household learner profiles; they may not be resold or shared outside the household. School arrangements require a separate written agreement.
8. Apple-specific terms
For the Afaan Ecosystem iOS app, Apple is not responsible for providing maintenance or support for the Services. To the extent these Terms conflict with Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, Apple’s terms control for the licensed iOS application. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to the iOS application.
Review Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement and manage Apple subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.
9. Service changes, suspension, and account deletion
Features may change as the product improves. We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address serious misuse, legal requirements, security, fraud, or safety. You may stop using the Services at any time. Signed-in iOS users can permanently delete their account and associated active application data under Me → Settings → Account → Delete account. Account deletion does not automatically cancel a subscription managed by Apple or Stripe.
10. Disclaimers and responsibility
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided without a promise that they will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every learner or purpose. You remain responsible for account security, appropriate adult supervision, and decisions based on educational or travel information. Nothing in these Terms limits consumer rights or liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms when the Services, payment options, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised Terms, update the effective date, and provide additional notice when required. Continued use after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
