About these terms
These terms form the agreement between you and the team that provides Birga. By using the app or the birga-app.uz website, you agree to them.
If you do not agree, please do not use the app, and delete your account.
Who can use Birga
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
- Users between 13 and 18 require the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
- If you create an account for your child, you are responsible for their use of the app.
Your account
You are responsible for the security of your account. Do not share the email address or the third-party account (Google, Apple, Telegram) you use to sign in.
Your Birga ID (username) must be unique. We reserve the right to remove usernames that impersonate another person or organisation, or that are offensive or misleading.
Cost of the service
All Birga features are currently completely free. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no hidden charges.
We may introduce paid features in the future. If we do:
- Prices and terms will be shown clearly in advance;
- We will not move features that are free today behind a paywall without notice;
- No payment will ever be taken without your explicit consent.
Acceptable use
Birga is built on mutual trust between family and friends. The following are prohibited:
- Tracking a person without their knowledge and consent, including installing the app on someone else's device without telling them
- Using the app to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm anyone
- Accessing another person's account without authorisation, or impersonating them
- Distributing spam, fraudulent, or unlawful content
- Interfering with the app or our servers, sending automated requests, or reverse-engineering the service
We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that breach these rules, without prior notice.
Location accuracy and emergencies
Birga is not an emergency service. Do not rely on it as your only means of help in situations involving risk to life or health. In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency services.
Location data depends on your device's sensors, GPS signal, internet connectivity, and operating-system limits. It may be inaccurate, delayed, or entirely unavailable — for example when a phone is switched off, loses connectivity, is indoors, or when the operating system suspends the app in the background.
We do not guarantee the continuity or accuracy of location data.
Your content
Content you upload — profile photo, place names, messages — remains yours. You grant us only the rights we need to provide the service: to store it and deliver it to the intended recipient.
Do not post content that infringes the rights of others or breaches the law.
Suspension and deletion
You may delete your account at any time from within the app: Profile → Delete account. Details: deleting your account.
We may restrict access to your account if these terms are breached, or if we decide to discontinue the service. If we shut the service down entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to give notice in advance.
Warranties and liability
The app is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranty that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app. Nothing in this section limits your statutory consumer rights.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Disputes will be resolved by negotiation where possible, and otherwise by the competent courts of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the new version number and date will appear on this page. We will notify you in the app about material changes. Continuing to use the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
