Legal review: currently under review by a lawyer.

Draft — currently being reviewed by a lawyer. These terms describe the pilot in good faith but have not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.

What Homies is (right now)

Homies is a community pilot of a platform for new immigrants (olim) and locals in Israel, open to anyone who signs in with a Google account. The member community is real users only, and legacy invented demo users, services, events and ratings have been removed for the production pilot. Services and meetups may still be new or unverified, so check details directly before relying on them.

Who can use it

• You must be 18 or older.
• Access is personal, via your own Google account.
• You're responsible for what you post and send.
• You can delete your account at any time from your profile.

Not official advice

Checklists and guidance link to official sources (government sites, Nefesh B'Nefesh) but Homies itself is not a government service, and nothing in it is legal, financial, medical or immigration advice. Requirements change — always verify with the official body.

Community & messaging rules

• Be respectful — this is a space for people in a vulnerable moment.
• No harassment, hate speech, threats, defamation, spam or commercial solicitation — in public posts or private messages.
• No posting or requesting other people's personal information.
• Content and messages are moderated (automatically and by administrators) and may be removed; repeated or serious abuse ends access. Anonymous posts are anonymous to members, not to moderators.
• You can block and report other members; reports go to the administrators for review.

Meeting people safely

Homies can connect you with other members and to in-person meetups. Always meet in a public place, and never share sensitive personal details such as your home address or bank/ID information. You are meeting other members at your own discretion and risk; Homies does not vet members and is not responsible for interactions between them.

Businesses & listings

Businesses may apply to be listed and some listings are marked "Sponsored". A listing is not an endorsement; contact details are provided by the business and are not verified by us.

Intellectual property

The Homies product, brand and curated content belong to the project's operators. What you write remains yours; by posting or sending it you allow us to store and display it within Homies to operate the service.

No warranty; limitation of liability

Homies is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, during this pilot. We may change, pause or discontinue features at any time. To the extent permitted by law, the operators are not liable for content posted by members or for interactions between members.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel.
