Terms of use

These Terms govern your use of the hamir app and related services ("hamir"). By creating an account or using hamir, you accept these Terms. If you don't, please don't use hamir.

hamir is a personal reading app: you add sources, hamir fetches public RSS / web feeds, and you read or save what you find. hamir doesn't host content; it links you to the original publishers and may display publisher-supplied snippets, titles, and artwork. hamir is for personal, non-commercial use through your own account.

hamir uses third-party sign-in providers (Apple, Google, GitHub). You're responsible for maintaining access to your chosen provider and for activity that happens through your account.

You must be at least 16 to use hamir. If your country requires a higher age to enter a binding agreement, that applies instead.

hamir may suspend, restrict, or remove access if the service is abused, attacked, or used to violate these Terms or applicable law.

When you add a source, you confirm that doing so doesn't violate the publisher's terms or applicable law. You're responsible for the sources you add and for how you use content from publishers and platforms.

You won't use hamir to bypass access controls or paywalls; scrape or redistribute content at a scale beyond personal reading; harass other users; reverse-engineer the service; introduce malware, spam, or automated probes; or violate intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of third parties.

If you flag, report, or moderate content through hamir, you do so in good faith and based on your own assessment.

Reader mode strips extra page elements. hamir picks how to present the article based on what the publisher makes available. For articles without free access, hamir falls back to the publisher's RSS feed; the full text opens only when you're authenticated (via web mode or in-app credentials) and have an active subscription or access to that specific article.

hamir is designed for lawful access and does not provide features to circumvent paywalls or other access controls. Reader mode doesn't grant any right to access, reuse, or redistribute content beyond what the publisher allows — your rights to that content depend on the publisher. Admins may override reader-mode availability for moderation; if reader mode is inadvertently available for restricted content, hamir may limit or remove it once identified.

hamir's app code, design, brand, and the hamir name belong to the hamir operator. Nothing in these Terms transfers those rights to you.

Third-party content shown through hamir (articles, images, video, audio) remains the property of its publishers and creators. hamir doesn't claim ownership of anything it links to or renders. Use of that content is subject to the publisher's terms.

hamir evolves. Features, sources, policies, and product behaviour may change without notice when needed for quality, safety, compliance, or service stability. hamir runs on infrastructure shared with publishers, sign-in providers, and Apple's services — sometimes things break upstream. hamir aims for stable uptime but doesn't guarantee it, and is provided as-is.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, hamir is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use, or for loss of data, profits, or business opportunities. This limit doesn't apply where local law forbids it (gross negligence, fraud, or personal-injury claims) or where consumer-protection laws give you stronger protections — those still apply.

When these Terms change, the date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material updates land in the app or release notes before they take effect. Continued use after a change means you accept the update; if you don't, you can stop using hamir.

You may stop using hamir at any time. Deleting your account from inside the app ends the agreement and triggers the data-deletion process described in the Privacy Policy.

hamir may end the agreement, suspend, or restrict access if you breach these Terms, if continued service would be unsafe or unlawful, or if the product is discontinued.

If something goes wrong, email hello@hamir.app first — most things can be sorted out that way.

EU consumers can also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Where your local consumer-protection laws give you stronger rights than these Terms, those still apply. Nothing here takes them away.

hamir is published by one person, not a company. The seller of record is listed on the App Store. Questions about these Terms or anything else: hello@hamir.app.
