Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the DonateBloodCMR website and mobile application (the "Platform"). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
1. Who can use the Platform
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use DonateBloodCMR. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information, including a truthful date of birth and blood type, and to keep it up to date.
2. What DonateBloodCMR is — and is not
DonateBloodCMR is a connection and coordination platform that helps donors, seekers and hospitals find each other. We are not a hospital, clinic, blood bank, laboratory or medical provider. We do not collect, test, screen, store, transport or transfuse blood, and we do not provide medical advice. All medical decisions, screening, and the donation or transfusion itself are carried out by qualified medical professionals at a registered facility, at their discretion and on their responsibility.
3. Safety rules (you must follow these)
- Meet only at a hospital. Donors and seekers must only ever meet inside a registered hospital or medical facility — never in a private or unsupervised location.
- No buying or selling of blood. Blood must never be bought, sold or commercially traded through the Platform. DonateBloodCMR supports voluntary, unpaid donation only.
- Complete donations at a facility. Every donation must be performed by medical staff who screen the blood; never attempt a donation or transfusion outside a medical facility.
- Be truthful. Do not provide false health, identity or eligibility information.
4. Your responsibilities
- Keep your account credentials confidential; you are responsible for activity under your account.
- Use the Platform lawfully and respectfully; do not harass, threaten, defraud or endanger others.
- Do not impersonate anyone, post unlawful content, attempt to access the Platform without authorisation, or interfere with its operation.
- Submit only genuine documents during verification.
5. Verification & eligibility
We may ask you to verify your phone, email, identity, age, blood group and donation eligibility. Verification helps build trust but does not guarantee any user's identity, health, eligibility or conduct. Final eligibility to donate is always determined by medical staff at the time of donation.
6. No guarantee; assumption of risk
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that a compatible or available donor will be found, that any request will be fulfilled, that information provided by users is accurate, or that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. You understand that interacting with other users and donating or receiving blood carries inherent risks, and you assume those risks. Always rely on qualified medical professionals.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Cameroonian law, DonateBloodCMR and its founders, operators and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from: your use of (or inability to use) the Platform; the conduct, content, information, health status or eligibility of any user; any meeting, donation or transfusion; or any act or omission of a hospital, medical professional or third party. The Platform is a free service that merely facilitates connections between users.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DonateBloodCMR and its operators from any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising out of your use of the Platform, your breach of these Terms, or your interactions with other users.
9. Content & intellectual property
The Platform, its name, logo, design and content are owned by DonateBloodCMR and protected by law. You may not copy, modify or reuse them without permission. Content you submit remains yours, but you grant us the limited right to use it as needed to operate the service (for example, showing your profile to relevant users).
10. Suspension & termination
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, the safety rules, or the law, or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to users. You may delete your account at any time from your settings.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a new "last updated" date; continued use of the Platform means you accept the changes.
12. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cameroon. Any dispute shall be subject to the competent courts of Cameroon, after a good-faith attempt to resolve it amicably.
