Welcome to Hanshek. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Hanshek ("Hanshek," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of hanshek.com, our Android and iOS mobile applications, and all related services, features, and content (collectively, the "Services" or "Platform").
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.
1. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
You are responsible for your account, login credentials, and all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated.
2. What Hanshek Is (and Is Not)
Hanshek is a platform that helps connect people. We provide tools for users to discover, communicate, and interact with one another.
Hanshek is not a payment processor, money transmitter, escrow service, broker, agent, employer, recruiter, marketplace operator for completed transactions, dating guarantor, or insurer.
We do not collect, receive, hold, transfer, process, or distribute money on behalf of users for jobs, buying, selling, services, relationships, or any other user-to-user arrangement.
Any payment, meeting, delivery, job arrangement, purchase, sale, service agreement, relationship, or other interaction between users is solely between those users and occurs entirely at their own risk.
3. User Responsibility and User-to-User Interactions
Hanshek is not a party to any agreement, transaction, arrangement, or dispute between users. We do not guarantee the identity, intentions, legitimacy, honesty, quality, safety, legality, or performance of any user, offer, job, product, service, or claim made on the Platform.
You are solely responsible for:
- Evaluating who you interact with
- Verifying information, offers, and claims
- Deciding whether to communicate, meet, hire, buy, sell, or engage
- Taking appropriate safety precautions, including for offline meetings
- Complying with all laws that apply to your actions and interactions
If you choose to meet another person offline or proceed with any arrangement outside the Platform, you do so entirely at your own risk.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Services to:
- Post or share fraudulent, deceptive, misleading, or scam-related content

- Interfere with the Platform's security, systems, integrity, or performance
5. User Content
You retain ownership of content you submit to the Services ("User Content"). By posting or submitting User Content, you grant Hanshek a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, distribute, and use that content as needed to operate, secure, improve, personalize, and promote the Services.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to post your User Content and that your User Content does not violate these Terms or any law.
6. Moderation and Enforcement
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor content or user activity. We reserve the right to remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate access if we believe a user has violated these Terms, created risk, or harmed the Platform or other users.
7. Account Deletion and Termination
You may delete your account through account settings or by contacting us at [email protected] (including through our in-app / in-platform contact system).
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
8. Third-Party Services and Links
The Services may include links to or integrations with third-party services (such as social login providers or analytics tools). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, content, terms, or privacy practices.
9. Mobile App Store Terms
If you use our Android or iOS apps, your use may also be subject to the terms and policies of Google Play and/or the Apple App Store. Apple and Google are not responsible for the Services except as required by applicable law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Hanshek disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hanshek does not guarantee:

- The quality, legality, safety, or completion of any user-to-user interaction, transaction, job, sale, purchase, service, or relationship
- That the Services will always be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Hanshek and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunities, or other intangible losses arising out of or related to your use of the Services.
This includes, without limitation, losses or claims arising from user-to-user communications, meetings, transactions, job arrangements, purchases, sales, services, relationships, disputes, injuries, or misconduct, whether occurring online or offline.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Hanshek's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us (if any) for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Services at any time, and we may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice as appropriate. Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective means you accept the revised Terms.
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, without regard to conflict of laws principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws apply in your jurisdiction.
Disputes arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved in the courts located in Islamabad, Pakistan, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
16. General Terms
