2. Your Account
You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and current information.

Violation of these terms may result in immediate account suspension or termination.
4. User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of content you post on Fikir (photos, moments, messages, etc.).
By posting content, you grant Fikir a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, display, and distribute that content solely for the purpose of operating the Service.
You represent and warrant that:
- You own the content you post or have permission to use it.
- Your content does not infringe anyone else's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
- Your content complies with these Terms.
We do NOT use your content to train AI or machine learning models, for advertising, or for any purpose outside of operating Fikir.
5. Content Moderation
Fikir reserves the right to:
- Remove or hide any content that violates these Terms.
- Suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
- Take action on reports submitted by other users.
We use both automated systems and human review to enforce these Terms.
If your moment or content is hidden or your account is suspended:
Repeated violations may result in permanent account termination without refund.
Reporting
You can report another user's profile or moment content using the in-app reporting tools. We review reports and take appropriate action, which may include hiding content, suspending the reported user's moments, or terminating their account.
Blocking
You can block another user. Blocking is symmetric โ blocked users cannot see you in feeds, and you cannot see them. You can manage your block list in your Profile tab under Blocked users.
6. Payments and Purchases
Lemons and Golden Lemons
Lemons and Golden Lemons are in-app credits used for sending tosses (a way to express interest in another user).
- Lemons and Golden Lemons are purchased through the Apple App Store, processed via RevenueCat.
- Purchases are non-refundable except where required by Apple's terms or applicable law.
- Lemons have no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash.
- If we suspend or terminate your account for a violation of these Terms, any unused Lemons are forfeited.
For refund requests, contact Apple directly through your App Store account. We cannot process refunds outside of Apple's system.
Subscriptions and Cancellation
If Fikir offers subscription products in the future, the terms of each subscription (price, renewal, cancellation) will be disclosed at purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled.
To cancel any Apple-managed subscription on iOS:
- Open the Settings app on your iOS device
- Tap your name → Subscriptions
- Tap the subscription you want to cancel → Cancel Subscription
Cancellation must be completed at least 24 hours before the next renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period. Fikir cannot cancel Apple-managed subscriptions on your behalf.
7. Account Termination
Termination by You
You can delete your account at any time:
After deletion:

- Unused Lemons are forfeited.
- Existing matches and messages are removed.
Termination by Us
We may suspend or terminate your account if:
- You violate these Terms.

9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fikir and the Operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to:
- Loss of profits or data.
- Personal injury caused by other users.
- Emotional distress.
- Property damage.
Our total liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions don't allow limitations on certain warranties or liability, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fikir, the Operator, and any associated parties from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:
- Your use of the Service.
- Your violation of these Terms.
- Your violation of any third party's rights.
- Content you post.
11. Arbitration Agreement and Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU MAY OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11.6 BELOW.
11.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as set forth in Section 11.2 (Exceptions), you and Ahadu Lab LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms, (b) your use of Fikir, (c) any subscription, in-app purchase, or other transaction, or (d) the relationship between you and us — including disputes regarding the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration provision — shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court.
This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the "FAA"). The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising from these Terms.
11.2 Exceptions to Arbitration
The following claims are NOT subject to arbitration and may be brought in court:
- Sexual assault and sexual harassment claims. Pursuant to the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 (9 U.S.C. § 401), at your sole election, you may pursue claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment in court rather than in arbitration.
- Small claims. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction, provided the claim qualifies for small-claims jurisdiction and is brought on an individual (non-class) basis.
- Intellectual property. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and patent claims).
11.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND AHADU LAB LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING.
Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative, class, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (monetary, injunctive, or declaratory) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court — the remainder of this Section 11 remains in effect.
11.4 Arbitration Administrator and Rules
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
If AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms, the parties will mutually select an alternative reputable arbitration provider (such as JAMS).
11.5 Arbitration Location, Costs, and Procedure
- Location. Arbitration will be conducted in King County, Washington, unless the parties agree otherwise. For claims of $25,000 or less, you may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video, or based solely on written submissions.
- Arbitrator. A single, neutral arbitrator will decide your claim.
- Costs. Ahadu Lab LLC will pay all AAA filing and administrative fees if your claim is for $25,000 or less, except where the arbitrator determines the claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. For claims over $25,000, AAA's standard fee schedule applies.
- Award. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.6 30-Day Opt-Out Right
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. To do so, you must send written notice of your decision within 30 days after the date you first accept these Terms to either:
- Email: team@fikirdating.app — subject line: "Arbitration Opt-Out"
- Mail: Ahadu Lab LLC, PO Box 196, Redmond, WA 98073
Your opt-out notice must include your full name, the email address linked to your Fikir account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms, including the class-action waiver in Section 11.3, which applies regardless of whether disputes are resolved in arbitration or in court.
If you opt out, disputes between you and Ahadu Lab LLC will be resolved under Section 11.7 below.
11.7 Governing Law and Forum for Non-Arbitrated Claims
For any dispute not subject to arbitration (either because it falls within Section 11.2 or because you have opted out under Section 11.6):
- These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.
- Any such dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
11.8 Severability and Survival
If any provision of this Section 11 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. This Section 11 survives termination of these Terms and your relationship with Fikir.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do:
- We will update the "Last updated" date at the top.
- For significant changes, we will notify users via in-app message or email.
- Continued use of Fikir after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you disagree with any changes, your only remedy is to stop using the Service and delete your account.
13. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
14. Apple App Store Additional Terms (iOS users)
If you downloaded Fikir from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply, as required by Apple's App Store Licensed Application End User License Agreement:
- Parties. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Ahadu Lab LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the Fikir application or its content.
- License scope. The license granted to you for Fikir is limited to a non-transferable license to use Fikir on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.
- Maintenance and support. Ahadu Lab LLC is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for Fikir. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to Fikir.
- Warranty. Ahadu Lab LLC is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of Fikir to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of Fikir (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to Fikir.
- Product claims. Ahadu Lab LLC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing your or any third party's claims relating to Fikir or your possession and/or use of Fikir.
- Intellectual property rights. In the event of any third-party claim that Fikir or your possession and use of Fikir infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Ahadu Lab LLC, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
