Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 3 November 2026
These terms set out how the website of the Yalla Khotwa community at yallakhotwa.com is used, where university students build and show professional portfolios. By using the website or applying to join, these terms are accepted, together with Privacy Policy andCookie Policy.
1. The service, and who we are
Yalla Khotwa is a non-profit student community and a personal initiative run by Zaid Al-Sahili. In these terms, “we” and “the Yalla Khotwa team” mean the founder and the volunteers working with him. Yalla Khotwa is a space to build and show a portfolio; it is not a job board, a freelancing platform or a code repository. The service is free, and every profile is reviewed by hand before it is published.
2. Application and review
- Joining is through the application form on the website, and no application is published automatically.
- The Yalla Khotwa team reviews the information before publishing, usually within 3 to 5 working days, and may edit the wording without changing the meaning, ask for clarification, or decline to publish any content, giving the reason.
- Only the sections a member has explicitly agreed to show are published.
3. Responsibility for content
- Members confirm that the information they provide is accurate and their own, that they have the right to publish the attached photos and links, and that their role in any group work is made clear.
- Members must not submit misleading content, content belonging to others, unlawful content, or content offensive to anyone.
- The Yalla Khotwa team may hide or delete any profile found to contain inaccurate information or to breach these terms.
4. Badges and team roles
The review committee awards badges manually according to the criteria published on the badges page, never automatically. A badge is a sign of recognition within Yalla Khotwa, not an official academic or professional certificate, and it may be withdrawn if its criteria turn out not to apply. Roles shown on the team page reflect volunteer tasks within the community only.
5. Intellectual property
Members keep ownership of the content they provide and give Yalla Khotwa a non-exclusive permission to show it on the website while their profile is published. The Yalla Khotwa identity, logo and website design belong to the community and may not be used in a way that suggests representing it without permission.
6. Analytics and performance measurement
Yalla Khotwa may use tools to measure and improve how the site is used and to understand its visibility in search engines, such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Search Console. Analytics tools that rely on cookies are only enabled after the visitor consents, and the Privacy Policy The data that may be collected and how it is used.
7. Editing, hiding and deletion
A profile can be edited from “My account” at any time, and edits appear after review. Hiding a profile, or any section of it, takes effect immediately from “Privacy” in the account. Deleting a profile and all its data is done on request at info@yallakhotwa.com, within 7 days of the request.
8. Limitation of liability
Information is shown as provided by its owners after review. Yalla Khotwa does not guarantee that profiles appear in search results or in any particular position, and is not responsible for decisions others make based on profile content. The website may pause temporarily for maintenance or development.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when needed, and the date at the top of the page is the date of the last update. For any material change, we notify members by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the website after an update means accepting the updated terms.
