By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the So7ba mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and So7ba. Please read them carefully.

Additional Policies: These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, which form part of this agreement.

2. Who We Are

So7ba is a digital life companion platform that combines goal management, time planning, progress tracking, social companionship, and AI-powered personal support. Our mission is to help you grow — with support, not pressure.

3. Eligibility & Age Requirements

3.1 Minimum Age

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use So7ba. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

3.2 Parental Consent

If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you represent that you have obtained consent from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service and that they have read and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

3.3 Account Restrictions

  • You may only maintain one personal account.
  • You must provide accurate and truthful information during registration.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Account Registration & Security

4.1 Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account by providing:

  • A valid email address or phone number
  • A display name
  • Your gender
  • A secure password

You may also register using third-party authentication providers (Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In), subject to those providers' terms.

4.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security of your account credentials
  • All activities that occur under your account
  • Promptly notifying us of any security breach or unauthorized access

We will never ask for your password via email, message, or any communication channel.

4.3 Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time through the app settings. When you ask:

  • The deletion is scheduled for 30 days later. Until then your account keeps working, and you can cancel the deletion from the app
  • When the 30 days end, the deletion is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy
  • Certain data may be retained as required by applicable law

5. The Services We Provide

So7ba provides the following core services:

5.1 Goal Management (أنا)

Set personal goals with intentions, track progress using various metrics (percentages, checklists, numbers), and document your journey with photos and videos.

5.2 Time Management (رحلتي)

Organize your time using Time Boxing, integrate with your device calendar, set reminders, and plan your daily activities.

5.3 Social Companionship (صُحبتي)

Connect with companions who share similar goals, join Circles (group communities), share progress updates, and encourage one another.

5.4 Direct Messaging

Communicate privately with your companions through one-on-one messaging, including text, images, audio, and video messages.

5.5 AI-Powered Support (الدعم الذكي)

Create your journeys with your AI companion, and receive personalized recommendations, activity suggestions, weekly progress digests, and gentle encouragement powered by artificial intelligence. A new journey you describe in your own words is created with the AI companion: the sentence you write is sent to it so it can propose the plan. You can also start a journey from one of the ideas in our own catalog, which opens a ready plan without the AI. Every other AI feature is optional. AI can be switched off at any time in Settings; while it is off, a journey from your own words cannot be started until it is switched on again, a journey from a catalog idea can still be started, and the journeys you already have keep working.

5.6 Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of significant changes where practicable.

6. Your Content & License Grant

  • We will remove it from our active systems promptly
  • Cached or backup copies may persist for a reasonable period required for technical operations
  • Content that has been shared with or saved by other users may continue to exist in their copies

6.4 Content You Share

9. AI-Powered Features

9.1 Nature of AI Features

So7ba uses artificial intelligence to provide:

  • The plan of a new journey, proposed from the sentence you write (a journey started from a catalog idea uses no AI)
  • Personalized activity and goal recommendations
  • Companion matching suggestions
  • Weekly progress insights and digests
  • Gentle encouragement and support messages

9.2 AI Limitations

  • AI-generated content is recommendations only, not professional advice (medical, financial, psychological, or religious)
  • AI outputs may not always be accurate or appropriate
  • You should exercise your own judgment when acting on AI suggestions
  • AI features do not replace professional human support

9.3 AI Data Processing

  • AI features process your activity data, goals, and behavioral patterns to generate personalized recommendations
  • Some AI processing sends text you wrote — such as the sentence you start a journey with — to a third-party AI service provider (DeepSeek), without your name, email, phone number or account id. The Privacy Policy (§11) lists what each feature sends
  • You can control AI features and their frequency through your settings
  • You can disable AI features entirely at any time. While they are disabled a new journey cannot be started from your own words, but one can still be started from a catalog idea; the journeys you already have keep working

9.4 AI-Generated Content

Content generated by AI within the app will be identified as AI-generated where applicable.
