Blijdorp
Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of the Blijdorp app, operated by Svetlana Zigalkina de Boer, Rotterdam, the Netherlands ("we"). By creating an account you agree to them. The short version: be real, be kind, and use the app to actually meet your neighbours.
1. What Blijdorp is
Blijdorp is an invitation-only community app that helps new and expecting mothers in the Blijdorp area of Rotterdam find each other, chat and plan meetups. The app is free of charge for members.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need a valid invitation code from an existing member and a working phone number.
- Use your real name and a genuine photo — the community depends on members being who they say they are.
- One person, one identity. Keep your sign-in code private; you are responsible for activity on your account.
3. Community rules
Blijdorp is a living room, not a marketplace or a stage. You agree not to:
- harass, insult, discriminate against or intimidate other members;
- send spam, advertising or commercial solicitations;
- impersonate anyone or create accounts for other people;
- share another member's personal information, messages or photos outside the app without her consent;
- post content that is unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit or otherwise clearly inappropriate for this community;
- attempt to probe, scrape or disrupt the service or access data that is not yours.
You can block any member (works both ways, immediately) and report behaviour to us in-app. We moderate actively: we may remove content, suspend or permanently remove accounts that break these rules, with or without notice, to protect the community.
4. Your content
Messages, invites and profile information remain yours. You grant us the limited licence needed to store and display them to their intended audience inside the app — nothing more. We do not use your content for advertising or sell it. Deleting your account permanently deletes your content (see the Privacy Policy).
5. Meeting in real life
The whole point of Blijdorp is real-world meetups — and you decide with whom, where and when. Meetups happen at your own responsibility; we are not a party to them and cannot vouch for any member. Use the same common sense you would with any new acquaintance, and report any concerning behaviour to us.
6. Availability and changes
Blijdorp is a young, growing service provided "as is". We work hard to keep it running, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, and we may change or discontinue features as the product evolves. We will communicate significant changes in the app.
7. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, our liability for damages arising from the use of the app is limited to what mandatory Dutch consumer law provides. Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence, or affects your statutory rights as a consumer in the EU.
8. Ending your membership
You can delete your account at any time (Edit profile → Delete account) — erasure is immediate and permanent. We may end or suspend your membership if you materially breach these terms.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in Rotterdam, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections that let you litigate where you live.
