Terms of Use
Türkçe: Kullanım Koşulları (the Turkish version prevails in case of conflict)
Summary: Ben Geldim is for adults aged 18+ only. Nudity and sexual content on video are strictly forbidden. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users: reports are reviewed within 24 hours and offending accounts can be permanently banned without warning. Subscriptions renew automatically through your App Store / Google Play account and are cancelled in the store settings.
1. Parties and acceptance
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and EPARAF Teknoloji ve Yazılım Hizmetleri Ltd. Şti. (MERSİS: 0336133551200001, address: 7 Eylül Yolu Caddesi No:35 İç Kapı No:301 Turgutlu / Manisa) (“Ben Geldim”, “we”), the provider of the Ben Geldim mobile app (the “App”). You accept these Terms by ticking “I have read and accept the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines” at sign-up. If you do not agree, do not use the App. The Community Guidelines form part of these Terms. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old. Your date of birth is checked at sign-up; giving a false date of birth leads to a permanent ban.
- Your registration details (name, date of birth, gender) must be accurate and your own.
- One account per person. If we have banned you before, you may not create a new account.
- People convicted of a sexual offence may not use the App.
3. The service
Each user gets a customisable virtual door. Users are matched anonymously by door; if the door owner accepts a knock, a time-limited one-to-one video call starts. After a call, users can send a door (friend) request; if it is accepted they become friends and can exchange text messages. Names, usernames, gender and images are not shown before a match. Video calls are peer-to-peer and encrypted and are never recorded by Ben Geldim.
4. Your account
Login uses a one-time code sent to your e-mail or phone. Do not share your codes. You are responsible for activity on your account. Report unauthorised use to iletisim@eparaf.com.
5. Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour
The following are strictly prohibited on video calls, in messages, in usernames and in any other interaction:
- Nudity and sexual content: appearing nude or partially nude, exposing genitals, sexual acts, sexually explicit gestures or talk, sexual solicitation.
- Minors: any person under 18 taking part in or appearing on a call; any content or conduct constituting child sexual abuse or exploitation (reported to the authorities).

6. Reporting, blocking and moderation
- Report: Use Report on the video call screen or in a chat and pick a reason (nudity/sexual content, harassment, hate speech, underage user, spam/scam, violence, other). Reporting ends the call immediately and you will not be matched with that user again.
- Block: Block a user from a call or chat. A blocked user cannot knock on your door, send you requests or messages, or be matched with you. Manage blocks in Profile → Settings → Blocked users.
- Review time: Our moderation team reviews reports within 24 hours; underage and nudity reports are prioritised.
- Enforcement: Depending on severity: warning, content removal, temporary suspension or permanent ban. Nudity/sexual content, content involving minors, severe harassment and threats lead to a permanent ban on the first offence. Banned users cannot re-register with the same e-mail or phone.
