Terms of Service · Var mı?

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Var mı? mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

Website: varmi.app Contact: support@varmi.app Country: Türkiye

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use Var mı?.

1. About Var mı?

Var mı? is a technology platform designed to help users planning to travel in the same or a similar direction find, match with, and communicate with one another.

Through Var mı?, users can find potential travel companions, coordinate their journeys, communicate after matching, and rate one another after a journey.

Var mı? is not a taxi company, transportation service provider, ride-hailing service, travel agency, driver, carrier, or payment service provider.

Var mı? does not directly transport users.

Unless expressly offered as a separate service in the future, Var mı? does not:

Dispatch taxis;
Employ drivers;
Set taxi fares;
Collect taxi fares;
Process payments between matched users;
Guarantee that a transportation service will take place.

Any transportation service used after matching is provided independently of Var mı?.

3. User Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating and using your account.

You are responsible for:

Maintaining control of your account;
Keeping your login credentials confidential;
Providing accurate information;
Keeping required account information up to date;
Actions taken through your account to the extent that they are attributable to you.

If you suspect that your account has been compromised, you must contact us at support@varmi.app

You may not sell, rent, or transfer your account, or grant another person unauthorized access to it.

4. Student Status

Var mı? may initially be designed primarily for university students and communities associated with student dormitories.

However, unless expressly stated otherwise in the App, Var mı? does not guarantee that a user's student status, university affiliation, or dormitory residency has been independently verified.

Users must not assume that another user is a verified student solely because that person uses Var mı?.

Student verification features may be introduced in the future.

5. Matching

The Services may suggest or display potential matches using the following information:

Starting point
Destination
Planned travel time
User selections
Other relevant matching criteria

A match does not mean that Var mı? endorses, verifies, recommends, or guarantees the other user.

Var mı? does not guarantee:

That a suitable match will be found
That a matched user will respond
That a matched user will attend the planned meeting
That the journey will take place
That users will agree on the conditions of the journey
That a match will be safe or meet users' expectations

Users are responsible for deciding whether to communicate or meet with another user.

6. Transportation and Taxi Services

Var mı? facilitates connections between users but does not provide transportation services.

Taxi or other transportation services that users may use after matching are independent of Var mı? and may be subject to the relevant transportation service provider's fares, policies, terms, and legal obligations.

Var mı? is not responsible for:

Taxi availability
Drivers' conduct
Vehicles
The route taken
Transportation delays
Taxi fares
The quality of transportation services
Acts or omissions of independent transportation providers

Nothing in these Terms may be construed as creating a passenger-carrier relationship between Var mı? and a user.

7. Sharing Transportation Costs

Matched users may decide to share the cost of taxi or other transportation services among themselves.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the App:

Var mı? does not determine how the fare is split;
Var mı? does not collect or distribute transportation fares;
Var mı? does not guarantee that the other user will pay the agreed share;
Var mı? is not a party to the financial arrangement between users.

Users must agree among themselves on the terms of cost sharing before or during the journey.

Disputes arising from payments made directly between users are primarily matters between the users concerned, subject to applicable law.

8. Communication Between Users

Matched users may communicate through Var mı?'s in-app messaging feature.

Messaging or other parts of the Services may not be used to:

Harass, threaten, or intimidate another person;
Send discriminatory or hateful messages;
Send obscene or inappropriate content;
Engage in fraud or deception;
Request unnecessary sensitive information;
Impersonate another person;
Send spam or unsolicited commercial messages;
Promote illegal activities;
Violate another person's privacy or rights.

We may review reported conduct and take appropriate action.

9. User Safety

Meeting in person with people first encountered through an online platform involves certain risks.

Users are responsible for exercising appropriate judgment and taking reasonable safety precautions when communicating or meeting with other users.

Where possible, users are advised to:

Choose suitable public meeting points;
Avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive personal information;
Report suspicious or malicious conduct.

Var mı? cannot guarantee any user's identity, intentions, conduct, reliability, or safety.

In the event of immediate danger or an emergency, the relevant emergency services or competent authorities should be contacted. Var mı? is not an emergency service.

10. Ratings and Reviews

Users may rate and review one another after a journey or interaction.

Reviews must:

Be based on genuine interactions;
Be made in good faith;
Not contain false or misleading information;
Not be used for harassment or retaliation;
Comply with these Terms and applicable law.

Var mı? may review, restrict, or remove reviews that appear to be fake, malicious, manipulated, or contrary to these Terms.

User ratings do not constitute an endorsement or guarantee by Var mı?.

Account deletion does not automatically extinguish legal obligations or liabilities arising from conduct that occurred before deletion.

19. Service Availability and Changes

We may modify, improve, add, remove, temporarily suspend, or discontinue features of the Services.

We do not guarantee that the Services will always operate without interruption or errors, or be compatible with every device.
