Community Standards

Last updated: 12 October 2026

Working draft — not yet legal advice. Written for how Yaarzi actually works today. Text in [highlighted brackets] must be supplied by Yaarzi, and the whole document must be reviewed by Indian counsel before launch. Publishing it does not by itself make Yaarzi compliant with any law or standard.

Yaarzi works because people can trust the person they’re meeting. These standards apply to everyone — customers and Raahis — on the app and at every booking.

Respect and consent

  • Be courteous and on time. If plans change, cancel in the app as early as you can.
  • Consent comes first. Ask before taking photos, and accept “no” the first time.
  • Either person can end a booking at any moment, without having to explain.

Platonic only

Yaarzi is for social company. Sexual services, sexual or romantic advances, and requests for them are not allowed — not as a joke, not “off the record”, and not after a booking ends. This is the one rule that ends an account immediately.

Be who you say you are

  • Use your own recent photos and your own identity documents.
  • Describe your plan honestly — where, when, what you’d like to do.
  • Write reviews about the experience, honestly and without insults.

Respect people’s privacy

  • Don’t ask for or share another member’s phone number, address, workplace or social media.
  • Don’t photograph, record or post about someone without their clear permission.
  • Keep the meeting point to yourselves.

Never allowed

  • Harassment, threats, stalking, hate speech or discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, sexuality, disability or origin.
  • Violence, or bringing weapons or illegal substances to a booking.
  • Asking for or taking payment outside Yaarzi, or any kind of scam.
  • Using Yaarzi for anyone under 18.

What we do when standards are broken

Depending on what happened, we may:

  1. warn the member and explain what was wrong;
  2. hide a review or cancel a booking, with a refund where due;
  3. suspend the account while we investigate;
  4. close the account permanently; and
  5. report the matter to the police where the law requires or someone is at risk.

We record the reason for every action. If you think we got it wrong, contact support. See the Safety Guidelines for how to report a problem.
