9. Third-Party Services

The Platform integrates with third-party services (Meta / Facebook Login, Google AdSense, CDNs, SMS gateways, location providers, etc.). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy §8 and §9 for details.

We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party services.

9A. Facebook Login

KhoeliMedia offers Facebook Login as an optional way to sign in or create an account. This section explains the terms that apply specifically when you use it.

9A.1 What Happens When You Use Facebook Login

  • You authenticate directly with Facebook — we never see or store your Facebook password.
  • Facebook shares a limited set of data with us based on the permissions you approve (typically your Facebook user ID, name, profile picture, and email if granted).
  • We use that data to create and manage your KhoeliMedia account, as described in our Privacy Policy §9.

9A.2 Your Responsibilities

When using Facebook Login, you agree that:

  • You will only link Facebook accounts that you own or are authorized to use.
  • You will not use Facebook Login to impersonate anyone or create deceptive accounts.
  • You are responsible for all activity on your KhoeliMedia account, whether you logged in with Facebook or with a phone number and password.

9A.3 Unlinking & Deletion

You can disconnect Facebook Login from your KhoeliMedia account in your account settings, or by removing KhoeliMedia from Facebook → Settings → Apps and Websites. Unlinking stops future data sharing but does not delete data we already stored. To delete your data, follow the steps in our Data Deletion Instructions.

9A.4 Meta's Role

Facebook Login is provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. Your use of Facebook is governed by Meta's own terms and policies. KhoeliMedia is not responsible for Facebook's services, availability, or data practices.

10. Advertising

KhoeliMedia is a free platform supported by advertising (currently Google AdSense). By using the Platform, you agree to see ads. You may not block, hide, or interfere with ads in ways that violate our ad partners' policies.

See our Privacy Policy §7 for details on how advertising cookies work and how to opt out of personalized ads.

11. Payments & Fees

KhoeliMedia is currently free to use. If we introduce paid features, premium services, or ticketed events in the future, additional terms will apply and be presented to you at the point of purchase.

Any future payments will be processed through secure third-party providers; we do not store full payment card details on our servers.

12. Termination

12.1 Termination by You

You may delete your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting admin@khoelimedia.com. Upon deletion, your public content may remain visible in limited forms (e.g., anonymous references in other users' threads) unless you request full removal.

If you signed up with Facebook Login, account deletion also removes the Facebook-derived data we stored. See our Data Deletion Instructions for full details.

12.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your account without notice if you:

  • Violate these Terms
  • Pose a risk to other users or the Platform
  • Engage in fraud, abuse, or illegal activity
  • Repeatedly receive valid user reports

12.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ends immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (e.g., intellectual property, liability, dispute resolution) will continue to apply.

13. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to:

  • Merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
  • Uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation
  • Accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content
  • That events, places, or communities listed are accurate or safe
Use common sense. When attending events or visiting places listed on KhoeliMedia, take normal safety precautions. We don't verify every listing and are not responsible for what happens at third-party events or venues.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, KhoeliMedia and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

  • Your use or inability to use the Platform
  • Content posted by other users
  • Events, places, communities, or projects listed on the Platform
  • Unauthorized access to your account or data
  • Any interruption or cessation of the Platform

Our total aggregate liability to you will not exceed the greater of LSL 500 or the total amount you paid us in the previous 12 months.

15. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KhoeliMedia and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your content
  • Your use of the Platform
  • Your violation of any third-party rights

If you have a dispute with us, please contact admin@khoelimedia.com first. We'll try to resolve it in good faith within 30 days.

16.2 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Lesotho, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

16.3 Jurisdiction

Any legal proceedings that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the courts of the Kingdom of Lesotho.

16.4 Class Action Waiver

To the extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought on an individual basis and not as part of any class or representative action.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will:

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
  • Notify you via email or in-app notice for material changes
