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 an independent app published by one person, not a company. The seller of record is listed on the App Store. Contact: hello@hamir.app.

hamir is a personal reading app: you add sources, hamir fetches public RSS / web feeds, and you read or save what you find. hamir does not 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. You're responsible for the sources you add and for how you use content from publishers and platforms.

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 to hamir, you confirm that doing so doesn't violate the publisher's terms or applicable law.

You won't use hamir to attempt to: bypass access controls or paywalls on any publisher's content; 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.

hamir uses open-source readability tooling and internal extraction heuristics to improve readability on supported sources.

hamir is designed for lawful access to content and does not provide features intended to circumvent paywalls or other access controls, or to enable unauthorized access, copying, or redistribution of restricted content.

Availability of reader mode for a source does not grant any right to access, reuse, or redistribute content beyond the rights granted by the publisher. Your rights to that content depend on the publisher.

If a source is restricted, incompatible, or subject to publisher limitations, hamir may limit native reader mode to publisher-provided metadata, summaries, and artwork, and direct full reading to the original webpage.

If reader mode is inadvertently available for restricted content, hamir may limit or remove that functionality 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.

All third-party content displayed through hamir (articles, images, video, audio) remains the property of its respective publishers and creators. hamir doesn't claim ownership of anything we link to or render. Use of that content is subject to the publisher's terms.

hamir is provided on an evolving basis. Features, sources, policies, and product behavior may change without notice as we improve quality, safety, compliance, or service stability.

hamir runs on infrastructure shared with publishers, sign-in providers, and Apple's services — sometimes things break upstream. I aim for stable uptime but don't guarantee it, and hamir is provided as-is.

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

We may end the agreement, suspend, or restrict access if you breach these Terms, if continued service would be unsafe or unlawful, or if we discontinue the product.

First, email me at hello@hamir.app — 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.

We may update these Terms when product or legal context changes. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision. We'll surface material changes in the app or in release notes so you can read them before they take effect. Continued use after a change means you accept the update; if you don't, you can stop using hamir.
