Meromat – Terms of Service

Meromat is a civic engagement and matching platform that helps users explore how their opinions align with political candidates.

We have three types of users:

• Candidates: Individuals who sign up, claim their profiles, and provide details such as name, email, education, occupation, and social media links.
• Visitors: Individuals who answer questions for matching purposes; no sign-up is required.
• Visitor Voters: Individuals who provide an email address for the purpose of verifying and preventing spam votes.

We verify candidates using official identification and technology such as selfie or ID scans.

However, we cannot guarantee that every candidate is who they claim to be. Verification is based on the data provided to us and does not constitute independent investigation.

Information displayed about candidates, as well as vote results, popularity rankings, or match percentages, are for general informational and civic-awareness purposes only. They are not official, and should not be relied upon as verified facts or formal election data.

Votes cast on Meromat are for engagement and informational display only.

We cannot verify the authenticity or eligibility of voters, including whether they are valid voters from Nepal.

All voting and match outcomes are indicative, not authoritative.

You agree to use Meromat lawfully, respectfully, and only for civic participation. You must not:

• Submit false or misleading information
• Attempt to manipulate votes or results
• Harass, threaten, or defame others
• Interfere with the operation or security of the platform

We collect only the information necessary for Meromat to function effectively.

• Candidates: Data voluntarily submitted to display public profiles.
• Visitors: Anonymous interaction or location data for analytics.
• Visitor Voters: Email addresses to prevent duplicate or spam voting.

We do not share personal data with third parties except as required for technical services such as donation processing, sign-in, or analytics. If such partnerships are introduced, we will update our Terms and Privacy Policy accordingly.

Meromat encourages open and respectful participation. We prohibit:

• Hate speech, threats, or harassment
• False or defamatory content
• Discriminatory or inflammatory statements
• Commercial promotion or spam

We may remove any content or restrict access for violations.

Meromat is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

We make no guarantee about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any data, including candidate information, votes, or popularity scores.

We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from reliance on this platform or its content.
