NisabaCircle

Terms of Use and Conduct Rules

Version 2026-10-v3 · Effective 26 October 2026

This is the document published at the URL users accept in the app before creating content.

1. About these terms

These terms are between you and Maytham Al-Rubaye, an individual based in the United Kingdom who runs NisabaCircle ("we", "us"). Contact: support@nisabacircle.com. By using NisabaCircle you agree to these terms and the conduct rules below. Your school may have its own rules too; follow both.

2. Who may use NisabaCircle

You must be invited by a school and approved by its administrator. Students must be 11 or older. You must use your own account and keep your sign-in details private. The app is free; there are no payments and no in-app purchases.

3. Your content

You own what you send. You give us permission to store, process and deliver it only to run NisabaCircle for you and your school (including showing it to the people in the conversation and to your school's safeguarding staff when it is reported or under review). Do not send anything you do not have the right to share.

4. Conduct rules — what is not allowed

Do not use NisabaCircle to:

1. Bully, harass, threaten, intimidate or humiliate anyone.
2. Share sexual content of any kind, or ask anyone for it. Any sexual content involving a child is strictly forbidden (see child safety standards).
3. Share violent, hateful or discriminatory content, or content that encourages self-harm, suicide or eating disorders.
4. Share anything illegal, or plan or encourage illegal activity.
5. Pretend to be someone else, or use someone else's account.
6. Share other people's personal information (addresses, phone numbers, photos) without their permission.
7. Record, screenshot or share someone's call, video, photo or messages to embarrass or harm them, or without their permission. NisabaCircle never records calls; please do not record them yourself.
8. Send spam, malware, or try to break, overload or get around the app's security or your school's settings.
9. Contact people for reasons unrelated to school life in ways your school does not allow.

Text messages are filtered on our servers before they are stored or delivered. Ordinary objectionable words are replaced with asterisks and the rest of the message is still sent. Severe language is refused entirely. A school administrator can see that a message was filtered. Filtering does not replace reporting: press Report if something feels wrong.

5. Reporting, blocking and enforcement

• Press Report on a message, call or person to alert your school's safeguarding lead. Press Block to stop someone contacting you one-to-one; they are not told.
• Your school reviews reports and can remove content, pause or remove accounts, and keep specifically flagged content as safeguarding evidence (see the privacy policy).
• We may also remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules or the law, and we will cooperate with law enforcement where required.
• If you disagree with a decision we made, email support@nisabacircle.com and we will review it. Decisions made by your school should be raised with your school.

6. Child safety standards

NisabaCircle has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material, grooming, sextortion and sexualised contact with children. The published standards, how in-app reporting works, how reports are handled, and the named child-safety contact are on the child safety page.

7. Calls and messages

Voice and video calls (one-to-one and group) and messages are available between people who already share an approved school group. One-to-one calls and messages work both ways between any two members approved in the same group, including teacher and student, and student and student. Every group member can join a group call. Your school's administrator keeps a log of who contacted whom and when. Calls are not recorded by us. Call quality depends on your network; calls may not work on every network or device. Do not rely on NisabaCircle for emergency calls — call 999 (UK) or your local emergency number.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep NisabaCircle available and secure but cannot promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change or stop features. If we change these terms we will ask you to accept the new version in the app before you create new content; you can still read, report, block, get support and delete your account without accepting.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using NisabaCircle and delete your account at any time (see the account deletion page). Your school can end your membership. We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms.

10. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, NisabaCircle is provided free of charge and, to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that if you live elsewhere in the UK you may also bring proceedings in your home courts.
