Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are Qa’na LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). We operate the website https://qanadating.com (the “Site”), the mobile application Qa’na (the “App”), and any other related products and services that refer to these Legal Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

Qa’na is a dating app with marriage intention, built specifically for the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox diaspora. It helps members connect based on shared faith, culture, and a genuine intention toward marriage, rather than casual dating.

You can contact us by email at info@qanadating.com.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Qa’na LLC concerning your access to and use of the Services. By accessing the Services, you agree to be bound by these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

We’ll provide prior notice of scheduled changes to the Services. Modified terms become effective upon posting or notifying you, and continued use after that constitutes acceptance.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

We recommend printing a copy of these Legal Terms for your records.

When you post Contributions, you grant us a license: You grant us an unrestricted, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, and create derivative works from your Contributions (including your image and name), for any purpose connected to operating the Services.

You are responsible for what you post. By posting Contributions, you confirm you’ve read and agree with the Prohibited Activities section, and that your Contributions are not illegal, harassing, hateful, obscene, discriminatory, threatening, sexually explicit, false, or misleading.

We may remove or edit your Content. We have the right (not the obligation) to remove or edit Contributions at any time if we consider them harmful or in breach of these Terms, and may suspend or disable your account and report you to authorities if warranted.

This includes use of your name and image as provided. You retain full ownership of your Contributions — we don’t claim ownership, but we do need this license to operate the platform (e.g., displaying your profile photo to potential matches).

We may edit, re-categorize, or remove Contributions at our discretion, and have no obligation to monitor them.


11. Guidelines for Reviews

If we provide areas for reviews or ratings, your reviews must: reflect firsthand experience, avoid abusive/discriminatory language, avoid references to illegal activity, avoid false or misleading statements, and not be part of an organized campaign.

We may accept, reject, or remove reviews at our discretion, and are not liable for review content.


12. Mobile Application License

Use License

If you access the Services via the App, we grant a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the App on your own devices, consistent with these Terms. You may not decompile, modify, use the App for revenue-generating purposes outside its intended use, or interfere with its normal function.

Apple and Android Devices

If you obtain the App via the App Store or Google Play, standard App Distributor terms apply alongside ours — including that the App Distributor has no maintenance obligation, and is a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce this license against you.


13. Services Management

We reserve the right to monitor the Services for violations, take legal action against violators (including reporting to law enforcement), restrict or remove Contributions, and otherwise manage the Services to protect our rights and ensure proper functioning.


14. Privacy Policy

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy: https://qanadating.com/privacy. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by it. The Services are hosted in the United States — if you access them from elsewhere, you consent to your data being transferred to and processed in the United States.


15. Copyright Infringements

We respect others’ intellectual property. If you believe material on the Services infringes your copyright, notify us at info@qanadating.com. Be aware that you may be held liable for damages for material misrepresentations in a copyright notice — if you’re unsure, consider consulting an attorney first.


16. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Services. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to deny access to anyone for any reason, including breach of these Terms. We may terminate your account and delete your content without warning.

If terminated, you’re prohibited from creating a new account under your name or a false identity. We may also pursue legal action.


17. Modifications and Interruptions

We may change or remove content from the Services at any time without notice, and are not obligated to update information. We can’t guarantee the Services will always be available, and are not liable for downtime, interruptions, or discontinuation.


18. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law principles.


19. Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

Before initiating arbitration, both parties agree to attempt informal negotiation of any dispute for at least 30 days, beginning with written notice from one party to the other.

Binding Arbitration

If informal negotiation doesn’t resolve a dispute, it will be resolved through binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules and Consumer Rules where applicable. You understand that without this provision, you’d have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. If arbitration costs are determined excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Arbitration will take place in Arlington, Virginia.

If a dispute proceeds in court instead, it will be handled in the state and federal courts located in Arlington County, Virginia, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.

Claims must be brought within 1 year of the cause of action arising.

Restrictions

Arbitration is limited to disputes between the parties individually — no class actions, no representative claims on behalf of the public.

Exceptions

Disputes about intellectual property rights, theft, invasion of privacy, unauthorized use, or claims for injunctive relief are not subject to informal negotiation or arbitration requirements.


20. Corrections

There may be typographical errors or inaccuracies on the Services (pricing, descriptions, etc.). We reserve the right to correct these and update information at any time without notice.


21. Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” YOUR USE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS, PERSONAL INJURY, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR DATA, SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, OR CONTENT POSTED BY OTHER USERS. AS WITH ANY ONLINE INTERACTION — ESPECIALLY MEETING SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME — USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND EXERCISE APPROPRIATE CAUTION.


22. Limitations of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. Our total liability to you will be limited to the lesser of: the amount you paid us in the 6 months prior to the claim, or $500 USD. Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you, and you may have additional rights.


23. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims arising from: your Contributions, your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, your violation of a third party’s rights, or any harmful act toward another user you connected with via the Services.


24. User Data

We maintain certain data you transmit for managing Service performance. While we perform routine backups, you’re solely responsible for your data, and we’re not liable for loss or corruption of it.


25. Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

Visiting the Services or emailing us constitutes electronic communication. You consent to receive communications electronically and agree that electronic signatures and records satisfy any legal requirement for written form.


26. California Users and Residents

27. Miscellaneous

These Terms, along with any policies we post, constitute the entire agreement between you and us. Our failure to enforce a provision doesn’t waive it. We may assign our rights at any time. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains valid. No joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship is created by these Terms.
