App: Hāngī ("the App") Provider: Ahmed Naeem ("we", "us", "our") Contact: hello@gethangi.com Effective date: 13 September 2026 Version: 1.1
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Ahmed Naeem governing your use of the App and related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, opening a shared invite, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation, and "you" includes that organisation.
You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to create an account. The Service is not directed to children below that age, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact hello@gethangi.com and we will delete it.
The App helps people organise potlucks and gatherings: creating an event, listing dishes/items to bring, inviting guests via a shareable link, letting guests RSVP and claim items, and sending reminders. Some features work without an account ("free potluck" drafts stored on your device); most collaborative features require an account.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your login credentials confidential, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@gethangi.com of any unauthorised use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
Your content. You may create events, dishes, notes, comments, and similar content ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display your User Content solely to operate and provide the Service (for example, showing your event to guests you invite). This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups retained for a limited period and content others have separately saved.
Guest and contact data — your responsibility. When you add a guest's name, email, or phone number, or import contacts, you confirm you have a lawful basis and the right to share that information with us for this purpose. As between you and us, for personal/household use you are typically the person deciding how that data is used; if you use the App for business or a club, you may be a data controller under the GDPR and are responsible for your own compliance (lawful basis, informing your guests, honouring their rights). We act as your processor for such data to the extent applicable. See the Privacy Policy.
You must not upload content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, that exposes others' personal data without a right to do so, or that you are not authorised to share.
The Service may let you log money spent on an event (for example, one person buying drinks or ingredients for everyone) and see a running record of who owes whom. This is a record-keeping tool only — Hāngī is not a payment service and no money moves through the Service. We do not hold funds, process payments, initiate transfers, or guarantee that any amount will actually be paid.
Any repayment happens directly between users, outside the Service, by whatever means they agree (bank transfer, cash, a third-party payment app). "Marking as paid" or "confirming" a settlement only updates the record — it does not verify that money changed hands. Balances are entered by users; we take no side in, and have no visibility beyond the record itself into, any dispute between participants about what is owed.
You may add a free-text note on your profile describing how others can pay you back (for example a payment-app handle). You are responsible for the accuracy of that note; we display it as-is and do not validate, process, or act on it.
You agree not to: - use the Service to break any law or infringe anyone's rights (including privacy and IP rights); - send spam, bulk unsolicited messages, or misuse the invite/reminder features to contact people without a legitimate connection; - attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorised to access, or probe, scan, or test the security of the Service; - reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or build a competing product from the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; - overload, disrupt, or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure; or - remove, obscure, or circumvent any security or access controls.
We may investigate and take action (including removing content and suspending accounts) for suspected violations.
The Service relies on third parties (e.g. cloud hosting, push-notification, authentication, and calendar providers). Your use may also involve app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play) and their terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, and their terms and privacy practices apply to your use of them. Links or integrations do not imply our endorsement.
We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. Some features may be offered as previews/beta and may change or be withdrawn.
The App, its software, design, logos, and the name "Hāngī" are owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. Except for the rights expressly granted here, we reserve all rights. You may not use our marks without prior written permission.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the App. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (e.g. 5, 6, 10, 12–15) survive.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that content (including guest lists, RSVPs, reminders, and shared-cost balances) will always be accurate, delivered, or timely.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including statutory consumer rights (e.g. under German/EU law).
To the maximum extent permitted by law: - we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service; - the Service is currently provided free of charge. Subject to the mandatory-law carve-out below, our liability for slight negligence is limited to the breach of a material contractual obligation ("cardinal duty") and then only to the damage typically foreseeable at the time of contract; we are not otherwise liable for slight negligence.
Mandatory-law carve-out (EU/Germany): Nothing above excludes or limits our liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, (iii) intent or gross negligence, (iv) liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), or (v) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation ("cardinal duty"), and then only for foreseeable, typical damage.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your User Content, your guest/contact data, or your breach of these Terms or of applicable law. (This does not apply to the extent the claim results from our own breach, intent, or gross negligence, and does not apply to consumers where prohibited by mandatory law.)
These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Consumers benefit from the mandatory protections of the law of their country of residence; nothing here deprives you of those.
Place of jurisdiction (for merchants/where legally permissible) is Leipzig, Germany. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).
We may update these Terms. If changes are material, we will give reasonable notice (e.g. in-app or by email) before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor. These Terms (with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.
