Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

Zaytoun Network is a platform — a home for social justice supporters — under which several products operate (search, Unlinked, and more to come). These terms govern your use of the network and those products (zaytoun.network and subdomains). By using the platform, you agree to these terms. For what content is and is not permitted, see our Acceptable Use Policy.

1. Definitions

  • "Service" means the Zaytoun Network platform and all products and features offered under it — including search, Unlinked, and any future products.
  • "We", "us", "our" means Zaytoun Network, the operator of the Service.
  • "You", "your" means the person using the Service.
  • "Member" means a registered user with an active account.

2. Use of the service

Different products on the platform work differently — search, for example, is free and available to everyone with no account required, while products like Unlinked require an account to create and publish your own content. Membership provides additional features (wallet, cause-area allocation, community voting) as described on the membership page.

You agree to use the service responsibly. You will not attempt to overload, scrape, reverse-engineer, or otherwise abuse the infrastructure. Automated bulk access (scripts, bots) requires prior written consent.

3. Accounts

You may create an account via Google OAuth, LinkedIn OAuth, or email one-time code. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the email address associated with your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at hello@zaytoun.network.

4. Membership and payments

Membership is currently free. During the launch period, all accounts are free of charge. We do not collect any payment information, card details, or bank details right now. Nothing costs money during this period.

Paid tiers may open in the future. When that happens, we will communicate the terms — including price, features, and billing cycle — clearly before any charge applies. Membership will be opt-in; we do not intend to use auto-renewal. We will be explicit before anything costs you money.

These terms will be updated to reflect payment and refund commitments at that point. The current version contains no commitments regarding charges, refunds, or payment processors, because none apply.

5. Acceptable use

Our Acceptable Use Policy sets out in full what is and is not permitted on this platform. The summary is:

  • Do not use the service for any unlawful purpose
  • Do not attempt to identify, doxx, or harass other users or third parties
  • Do not distribute malware, spam, or malicious content through the platform
  • Do not attempt to circumvent rate limits or security measures
  • Do not impersonate Zaytoun staff, representatives, or other users

The Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated into these terms by reference. Violations may result in suspension or termination of your account.

6. Intellectual property

Search results are aggregated from third-party sources and belong to their respective creators. Content you create or publish on the platform — for example, your profile and writing on Unlinked — remains yours; you retain ownership, and you grant us only the limited licence needed to host and display it on your behalf. The Zaytoun name, logo, and platform design are our intellectual property. You may not use our branding without written permission.

7. Limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of search results. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the service, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

8. Termination

You may delete your account at any time by contacting privacy@zaytoun.network. Upon deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by applicable law. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. The UK GDPR governs the processing of personal data; the EU GDPR also applies to personal data of EU/EEA residents.

Zaytoun Network is operated by a company registered in the United Kingdom, which is the data controller responsible for your personal data. Full registered company details are available on request at hello@zaytoun.network.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. Substantial changes will be communicated via email to registered users at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
