TERMS OF USE
Last updated: 11 October 2026

1. Service and agreement
These terms govern the Golden Born Society iOS and Android apps, www.goldenbornsociety.com and related community services. The operator is Mesut Can Coşkuncan, Esentepe Mah. Büyükdere Cad. Levent 199 No:199 İç Kapı No:6, Şişli, İstanbul, Türkiye. Contact: hello@goldenbornsociety.com; +90 539 650 0891.
Golden Born Society connects people from the startup and business world through professional profiles, connections, communication, activities and membership features. By accepting these terms when registering or using the service, you agree to them. The Privacy Policy explains information handling; agreeing to these terms is not blanket consent to every processing activity.

2. Eligibility and membership profiles
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to accept these terms. Accounts for minors are not permitted.
Provide accurate, current account, company/venture and professional information, and complete the required onboarding. Do not misrepresent your role, company, qualifications or identity. We may assess eligibility, seek relevant clarification, or restrict access where information is incomplete or misleading. A membership or verification label is not a guarantee of someone’s identity, competence, creditworthiness or business success.
Keep your account secure. Do not share or sell your account, impersonate another person or access an account without authorization. Report suspected unauthorized access promptly.

3. Free and paid access
Some features require a paid membership. Benefits, limitations, prices, duration and renewal terms are those shown in the applicable offer and store checkout. Features and offers can differ by platform, region and membership tier.
Membership purchases are made through Apple App Store or Google Play. The purchasing store’s payment and subscription terms apply. Recurring subscriptions renew unless canceled using that store’s controls. One-time products do not renew unless explicitly described otherwise.
Our Cancellation & Refund Policy explains cancellation, trials, refunds and account deletion. An app-account deletion does not itself stop store renewal. A paid membership does not guarantee particular introductions, business results, attendance approval or access to every activity.

4. Acceptable use and community standards
Treat members respectfully. The following are prohibited: harassment, threats, discriminatory abuse, stalking, impersonation, fraud, scams, spam, unlawful marketing, malicious code, unauthorized scraping, circumvention of access controls, and disclosure of another person’s private information without authorization.
Do not upload illegal, sexually exploitative, pornographic, violent or other objectionable content, violate intellectual-property rights, or solicit unlawful activity. Do not use the service to promote violence, exploitation or trafficking.
CHILD SAFETY: Golden Born Society has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexual solicitation of minors, sextortion, trafficking or content facilitating those activities. This prohibition applies even though the community is restricted to adults. Report suspected violations using available in-app reporting features or hello@goldenbornsociety.com, our safety contact. Do not email or redistribute illegal imagery as evidence.
We investigate reports, may remove or restrict content and accounts, and preserve or report relevant information to appropriate authorities where legally required. We comply with applicable child-safety reporting obligations. Use available user-blocking tools where appropriate; contact local emergency services if anyone is in immediate danger.

5. Content and moderation
You retain ownership of content you submit and confirm that you have the rights needed to share it. You grant Golden Born Society a non-exclusive permission to host, store, display, transmit and process it only as necessary to operate the features you use, moderate the service and comply with legal duties. This permission is not a sale of your content and does not authorize unrelated advertising use of a private message.
Information shared with recipients or publicly through an event link can be copied by them. Do not submit confidential business information or sensitive personal records that you are not entitled to share. Messages are not represented as end-to-end encrypted.
We can enforce these terms by restricting content, suspending access or closing an account proportionately to the issue. Where appropriate and lawful, we provide reasons and a way to contact support for review. Urgent safety/security action can occur before notice. Mandatory consumer remedies remain available even where access is restricted.

6. Activities, hosts and physical safety
Check an activity’s host, location, timing, requirements and any external terms before joining. Gatherings may be organized by members, Golden Born Society or third parties; an app listing alone does not establish that Golden Born Society is the organizer, insurer or supervisor.
Physical activities, sports and travel involve risks. Choose activities suited to your abilities, follow relevant venue/organizer rules, and obtain qualified advice when needed. App content, rituals or wellness-oriented suggestions are not medical diagnosis or treatment, financial advice or a guarantee of professional outcomes. Respect other participants’ privacy and consent.
Hosts must describe their activities accurately, obtain required permissions and comply with applicable safety and legal requirements. Listings may be changed or canceled; check current information before traveling. Nothing in this section releases an organizer from non-excludable legal responsibilities.

7. Intellectual property and app license
Golden Born Society’s branding, interface and original materials remain owned by the operator or their licensors. You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the app for its intended purpose, subject to these terms and applicable store rules. Do not redistribute, commercially exploit or reverse engineer protected software except where the law permits.
For an Apple-distributed app, Apple’s applicable standard End User License Agreement and usage rules continue to apply. These service terms supplement them and do not replace mandatory Apple conditions. Android distribution is subject to applicable Google Play terms. Store companies are not the operators of Golden Born Society’s community.

8. External services and availability
Sign-in providers, stores, map services, linked websites and independent activity providers have their own applicable terms and privacy notices. We are responsible for the obligations legally allocated to us, not every action of an unrelated third party.
We maintain and update the service, but do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every existing feature remains unchanged indefinitely. Material changes to paid benefits are subject to existing commitments and applicable consumer rights; these terms do not authorize charging a new price without the required store notice or consent.

9. Account closure and privacy requests
Use Profile → Settings → Delete Account to close your app account. Full account/data-deletion requests can also be submitted from your registered email to hello@goldenbornsociety.com without installing the app. The Account & Data Deletion section of our Cancellation & Refund Policy describes verification, relevant data categories and retention exceptions. Closing access is distinct from completed data erasure. Store subscriptions must be managed separately.

10. Responsibility and disputes
You are responsible for your own lawful use and truthful submissions. Any exclusion or limitation of responsibility operates only to the extent permitted by applicable law. We do not exclude liability or remedies that cannot legally be excluded, including applicable duties relating to defective services, intentional misconduct or personal injury.
These terms are governed by Turkish law, without depriving you of mandatory protections or complaint/court rights available under applicable consumer law. Contact hello@goldenbornsociety.com first if you need assistance; doing so is not a prerequisite to exercising a statutory right. Competent consumer authorities and courts remain available where applicable.

11. Updates and contact
We may revise these terms to reflect service or legal changes and update the date above. We give required notice of material changes; revisions do not remove accrued rights or retroactively change a completed purchase. Where acceptance is legally required, we seek it through the appropriate process.
For support, membership, privacy or safety questions, contact the operator using the details in section 1.
