The terms and conditions that govern your use of the SCDPCT App and website.
Last updated: 8 June 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and the Sickle Cell Disease Patients Community of Tanzania (“SCDPCT”, “we”, “us”) governing your use of the SCDPCT mobile application (the “App”) and our website. By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, or use the App under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account details up to date.
When using community features (stories, Expert Q&A, polls, challenges, forums), you agree not to:
Community submissions may be reviewed and moderated before or after publishing. We may edit, refuse, or remove content, and suspend accounts that violate these Terms.
You retain ownership of the stories, photos, questions, and other content you submit. By submitting it, you grant SCDPCT a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and share that content within the App and our community channels for the purpose of operating and promoting the community. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share anything you upload, including images and video links.
The App may award points for activities such as daily check-ins, completing challenges, or participating in the community. Points have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be adjusted or discontinued at our discretion.
Doctors, pharmacies, clinics, caretakers, meal plans, and similar listings are provided for your convenience. They are independent third parties; their inclusion is not an endorsement, and we do not guarantee their availability, quality, or accuracy. Any dealings you have with them are solely between you and that provider. The App also uses third-party services (e.g. Google AdMob, YouTube, Mailgun) subject to their own terms.
The free version of the App displays advertising. Where available, a premium subscription removes ads. Subscriptions, where offered, are billed through the relevant app store and governed by that store’s terms.
The App, its design, logos, and content (excluding user-submitted content and third-party material) are owned by SCDPCT and protected by law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer the App except as permitted by law.
You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time (see our Privacy Policy for how to request deletion). We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or to protect the community.
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SCDPCT is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any health outcomes, arising from your use of — or inability to use — the App or any content within it.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Republic of Tanzania. Any disputes will be subject to the courts of Tanzania.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, notify you in the App or by email. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
