You agree toour Terms by registering, installing, accessing, or using CChat, its services, features, software, or website.

This Agreement applies to all users of our Services, including CChat users who are also contributors of content, information, and other materials or services.

In some countries, there are restrictions on your use of CChat, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are legally allowed to use CChat where you are located, and certain CChat functionalities may not be available in some countries.

ACCESSING TERMS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

We may translate these Terms into multiple languages. Is there is any difference between the English version and any other language version of these Terms, the English version will apply (to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations).

OUR SERVICES

CChat provides the services described below to you (collectively, ” Services“):

  1. Privacy principles

Our Services have been developed with strong privacy and security principles in mind. We promise to protect the privacy and personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

  1. Connecting you with other people

Using your phone’s Internet connection, we provide simple and efficient ways for you to communicate with other CChat users through fast and secure free mobile instant messages, voice and video calls, VOIP, conference calls, sending images, video and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc), and sharing your location, contacts, brand and products with others when you choose. We provide a convenient platform that enables you to create groups or channels for broadcasting to unlimited audiences and make international low cost calls to mobile and landline which will help you to reach beyond your contacts on CChat. If you want, you can enable self-destruction of your messages through oursecret chat feature.

  1. Communicating with Brands

We provide ways for you and third parties, like businesses, to communicate with each other using CChat, such as through brand pages, booking, order, transaction, and appointment information, delivery and shipping notifications, product and service updates, direct messaging, voice chat and voice calls with businesses, promotions and marketing.

Messages you may receive containing marketing could include an offer for something that might interest you but only from brands you have decided to follow. We do not want you to have an unpleasant or spammy experience; as with all of your messages you send through CChat, you have a full control over your communications with Brands.

  1. Brands

Brand catalogue will allow brand owners (also CChat users) to create their own categories and present their products and services and easily share in their one to one chat, group chats and channels. Brand owners are able to create different chat departments and allocate agents so that people can send private messages to brans to ask questions, simply get in touch or make suggestion and do it all efficiently without the unnecessary hassle.

We also provide brand channels (public or private) which are a tool for broadcasting public messages to large audiences. The message is signed with the channel’s name and not yours. You can also enable comments on each post if you are looking for feedback or participation and engagement with your followers.

  1. In-app translation

We will support your contact with people speaking different language by providing you real time translation for your messages, which will be shown just below the original message separated with a line.

  1. Business partnerships

CChat works with partners, service providers, and affiliated companies (” CChat Partners“) to help us provide ways for you to connect with their services efficiently. This may be achieved through API/SDK integration of other applications into CChat or CChat’s integration into other applications. We use the information we receive from them to help operate, provide, and improve our Services for your best possible experience.

  1. Ways to improve our Services

We continuously analyse how you make use of CChat, in order to improve all aspects of our Services described here, including helping us and CChat Partners who use CChat to measure the effectiveness and distribution of their services and messages through CChat. CChat uses the information it has and also works with partners, service providers, and affiliated companies to do this.

Ifwe learn of people or activity like this, we will take appropriate action by removing such people or activity or contacting law enforcement. We share information with other affiliated companies when we learn of misuse or harmful conduct by someone using our Services.
