Terms of Use
By using StreetShelf you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app. The Turkish version prevails if the two differ.
What StreetShelf does
StreetShelf is a meeting place for neighbours to gift, lend or rent things to each other. Agreements and handovers happen directly between users. StreetShelf is not a party to them; it does not own, sell, rent out or insure the items, and it does not handle any payment.
Your account
- You must be 18 or older to use the app.
- Your account is yours; keeping access to your email secure is your responsibility.
- Your display name and photo must not impersonate anyone or mislead.
Listings and handovers
- Listings must be accurate: describe the item's condition, anything missing and how it may be used honestly.
- Only share things you own or are entitled to share.
- Return a borrowed or rented item on the agreed date, in the condition you received it.
- Rent is paid in cash at the handover. StreetShelf does not hold, refund or guarantee payments.
- Handover and return photos are a record for both sides; you may use them as evidence in a dispute.
- Disputes about damage, loss, delay or payment are between the two people. We try to help but are not responsible for the outcome.
What is not allowed
You may not share or do the following:
- Weapons, drugs, prescription medicine, alcohol, tobacco products, stolen or counterfeit goods, live animals, or anything whose sale or transfer the law restricts.
- Dangerous or recalled items, or items that cannot be used safely.
- Harassment, threats, hate speech, sexual content, or sharing other people's personal data without permission.
- Fraud, spam, fake accounts, or using the app for commercial bulk selling.
- Trying to get around the app's security, or to collect other users' locations or data.
Safety
When meeting someone new, choose busy, well-lit places and trust your instincts. You can block and report anyone from within the app. We review reports and may remove content or close accounts.
Your content
You own the text and photos you post. You give us a free, non-exclusive licence to display, store and show them to other users in the app. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account.
Closing an account
You can permanently delete your account at any time under Settings → Delete account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, with or without notice.
Limitation of liability
StreetShelf is provided as is. We do not guarantee it will run without interruption or errors. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from agreements, items or meetings between users. This does not limit liability for intent or gross negligence, or any mandatory rights you have as a consumer.
Changes
We may update these terms. Significant changes are announced in the app; continuing to use it after a change means you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Your right as a consumer to go to the consumer arbitration committees and courts where you live is unaffected.
