Terms of Service
Last updated: 14 Sep 2026
1. What GaffHub is
GaffHub is a peer-to-peer connection board for verified university students. You can list items, request campus favours, and message other students through our internal chat. GaffHub does not sell goods, process payments, or arrange meetups for you.
2. Eligibility
Access is limited to users with an approved university email domain. You must provide accurate profile details and keep your account secure. One account per person.
3. Peer-to-peer transactions
All trades and favours happen directly between students, usually in person. Cash, Revolut, or any other payment method is agreed between you and the other party. GaffHub never holds funds and never acts as a marketplace merchant of record.
Location Data & Geolocation
To provide hyper-local campus matches, GaffHub requests access to your device's location. Your exact GPS coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) are stored securely and are NEVER publicly displayed. Other users will only see a relative distance (e.g., '800m away'). You can revoke location permissions at any time via your device settings, though this may limit app functionality. We do not track you continuously in the background.
In-App Chat & Moderation
GaffHub provides an internal chat system to facilitate transactions and SOS favors safely. To protect our community, sharing external contact information (phone numbers, social media handles) is strictly prohibited. While chats are private between participants, GaffHub reserves the right to securely log, monitor, and review chat transcripts solely for the purposes of fraud prevention, resolving disputes, and enforcing safety policies. Hate speech, harassment, and illegal activities will result in immediate permanent bans.
Limitation of Liability (Peer-to-Peer Interactions)
GaffHub acts exclusively as a peer-to-peer facilitation platform for university students. We do not vet, endorse, or guarantee the quality of any items, nor the background of any user. Any physical meetups arranged through GaffHub are undertaken entirely at your own risk. We strongly advise meeting in well-lit, public campus areas and using our internal 2-Digit SOS Verification system. GaffHub and its creators assume zero legal liability for any personal injury, property damage, or financial loss arising from your use of the platform.
Acceptable use
Do not post illegal items, scams, harassment, or misleading listings. Meet in public campus areas when possible. We may remove content or suspend accounts that put others at risk or break these terms.
University affiliation
Not affiliated with, maintained, or endorsed by any specific university. GaffHub is an independent student community product.
