About Salehly and Scope
Salehly is a digital platform and smart application connecting customers with independent home and professional service providers, including electrical, plumbing, air-conditioning, carpentry, painting, cleaning, maintenance, and similar services. It enables customers to search, review profiles and ratings, request services, communicate, and make electronic payments.
Scope: All terms and policies in this document apply to the customer application (Salehly User), the provider application (Salehly Tech / Provider), the website, and related services and features, according to the user's role and the service involved.
Salehly acts as a technology intermediary facilitating matching, communication, order management, and payments. Salehly does not guarantee the quality, results, or timing of services and is not a party to the direct contractual relationship between the customer and provider except to the extent necessary to operate the platform, process payments, and manage orders. The accepting provider is responsible for performance, quality, licensing, safety, and professional compliance.
Privacy Policy and Saudi PDPL Compliance
Salehly collects and processes personal data needed to provide services, improve user experience, verify identity, manage payments, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable Saudi laws, including the Personal Data Protection Law and its Implementing Regulations.
Processing principles
- Lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, and data minimization.
- Accuracy, limited retention, appropriate security, and accountable processing.
- No incompatible secondary use without a lawful basis or required consent.
- Enabling data-subject rights and documenting processing, disclosure, and transfer activities.
Controller: Salehly, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Privacy requests: support@salehly.com.
Retention, rights, and deletion requests
Salehly retains personal data for the period necessary to provide services and meet legal obligations, in accordance with the Records Retention Policy. Subject to the Saudi PDPL, data subjects may request information, access, a copy, correction, updating, or destruction when there is no lawful reason to retain the data.
To request deletion or exercise a privacy right, the data subject should email support@salehly.com from the registered email or account and provide the information needed to verify identity. Salehly reviews and processes requests within the legally applicable period and may retain the minimum data required by law, dispute, or contractual obligation.
Information Collection
We may collect information you provide when creating an account, requesting a service, contacting support, registering as a provider, or completing a transaction. This may include identity and contact details, provider verification documents and bank details, service descriptions, address, appointment details, photos, messages, payment references, and refund records.
Salehly does not request card passwords or one-time authentication codes and does not intend to store complete card details.
Information Collected Through Service Use
- Device, application, operating-system, language, IP address, and technical identifiers.
- Login, feature-use, error, click, and security logs.
- Precise or approximate location when permission is granted for matching, addressing, or arrival features.
- Camera, image, and file access when the user chooses to upload service images or verification documents.
- Notification identifiers used for order and security updates.
Information from Other Sources
We may receive data from payment providers, identity-verification services, mapping and messaging providers, referral partners, competent authorities, lawful public sources, customers, and providers in connection with an order or complaint. Such data is used only under an appropriate lawful basis.
Use of Personal Data and Legal Bases
- Provide the platform, perform contracts, manage orders, verification, payments, and refunds.
- Maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, investigate complaints, and manage incidents.
- Meet legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, and binding-authority requirements.
- Improve services and analytics, using aggregated or anonymized data where possible.

Depending on the context, processing relies on contract performance, legal obligation, legitimate interests that do not override user rights, or consent where required.
Storage and International Transfers
Data is stored in systems protected by appropriate safeguards. Transfers outside Saudi Arabia are performed only where necessary and in accordance with applicable cross-border transfer requirements, including appropriate assessments, safeguards, approvals, or exemptions.
Your Rights and Choices
Subject to the Saudi PDPL and applicable limitations, users may request information about processing, access, a readable copy, correction, completion, updating, or destruction of personal data when retention is no longer lawfully required. Consent may be withdrawn where it is the processing basis. Marketing communications may be declined without affecting necessary operational and security messages.
Security Measures and Incident Management
Salehly applies proportionate administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including need-based access controls, encryption in transit, monitoring, backups, security testing, staff awareness, and supplier management. Salehly personnel will not proactively request passwords or one-time authentication codes.
No online transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure. Security incidents are assessed and reported to competent authorities and affected individuals when legally required.
Application Customer Notice
Where Salehly processes personal data on behalf of another responsible entity to support business products or services, the parties' controller and processor responsibilities are determined by contract and context. This notice does not replace explicit consent where legally required.

- Salehly may accept or reject registration based on verification, quality, and operational criteria. Registration or acceptance does not guarantee income or a minimum number of requests.

- Fake, paid, linked-account, or non-genuine reviews are prohibited.
- Salehly may remove or hide abusive, misleading, defamatory, or policy- or law-violating reviews and comments.

Fraud and Abuse Prevention
Fake accounts, fraudulent requests, stolen payment methods, and manipulation of commissions, reviews, referrals, or refunds are prohibited. Salehly may apply proportionate risk reviews, request further verification, suspend accounts, transactions, or settlements, reverse fraudulently obtained benefits, and report matters to competent authorities.
Provider Data Processing Terms

- Invoices and payment records: applicable Saudi legal, tax, and accounting periods.
Anti-Money Laundering and KYC
Where regulated payment, balance, or settlement activities apply, Salehly cooperates with licensed payment providers and applies proportionate identity, beneficiary, bank-account, transaction-monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting controls. Salehly is not an electronic wallet or payment institution unless appropriately licensed.
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Initial complaint response: within 48 business hours after complete submission.
- Cancellation or refund review: within 3–10 business days after receiving required documents.
- Provider settlement: within 3–7 business days after service completion, objection period, and verification.
- Critical security incident response: within 1–24 hours after discovery and confirmation.
These are operational targets, not absolute guarantees, and may vary due to the matter's nature, volume, technical or legal circumstances, payment parties, or force majeure.
Pricing and Commissions
- Prices, calculation methods, taxes, and additional fees are displayed before confirmation where possible.
- Salehly may charge providers a commission between 5% and 10% of a completed service value, or a fixed per-service fee, under the applicable agreement and approved offer.
- Additional work or fees require documented customer approval.
- Commission changes do not apply retroactively to previously confirmed orders.
Value Added Tax Policy
Prices, fees, and commissions indicate whether VAT is included or excluded before confirmation. VAT is applied at the legally effective rate. Each provider remains responsible for its tax registration, invoices, returns, and obligations where applicable.
Refund, Cancellation, and Change Policy
Refund eligibility and cancellation or change fees depend on timing relative to the scheduled service, provider acceptance, work commencement, proven costs, and mandatory consumer rights. The two-hour window is measured from the time the cancellation or change request is recorded in the platform until the confirmed scheduled start time.
Definition of work commencement: Work is considered commenced when the provider arrives at the customer's location, actually begins performing the service, or purchases materials necessary for the service after customer approval, depending on the nature of the service and supporting evidence.
| Situation | Policy |
|---|---|
| Cancellation before provider acceptance | Full refund of the amount paid. |
| Cancellation after acceptance and more than two hours before performance | Full refund, unless disclosed and proven actual costs may lawfully be deducted. |
| Cancellation two hours or less before performance | A cancellation fee between 5% and 10% of the order value applies according to the service, agreement, and approved offer; the remaining balance is refunded. |
| Change to work scope or appointment more than two hours in advance | No additional change fee, subject to provider approval, availability, and any legitimate price difference for the new scope. |
| Change two hours or less before performance, or after acceptance where costs arise | A 5%–10% change fee or disclosed actual costs may apply after informing the customer and obtaining approval. |
| Cancellation after travel or work starts | The performed portion, proven actual costs, and applicable fee may be deducted; any balance is refunded. |
| Provider no-show or provider-caused inability to perform | Refund for the unperformed portion, without prejudice to customer rights. |
| Cancellation by the provider | The customer is not charged a cancellation fee and receives a full refund for the unperformed portion. |
| Customer no-show or inability to reach the customer at the scheduled time | The order may be treated as cancelled by the customer, and applicable cancellation fees or disclosed and proven actual costs may be applied according to the service. |
Salehly begins refund processing within no more than three (3) business days after the refund is approved, unless the matter requires additional review. Refunds are issued to the original payment method where possible, and the bank or payment network may require additional time for the amount to appear. Applicable fees are disclosed before confirmation where possible. Once a changed appointment is accepted, the new appointment becomes the reference point for later cancellation or change requests. No fee will be charged contrary to law.
Payment Policy
Electronic payments are processed by an approved independent payment provider. Users agree to applicable provider terms and confirm authority to use the payment method. Currency, amount, tax, and fees are displayed before confirmation. Salehly does not store complete sensitive card data or CVV. Transactions may be subject to authentication, fraud screening, suspension, refund, and chargeback rules.
Payment Provider Compliance Requirements
Salehly is a Riyadh-based technology platform connecting customers with independent home and professional service providers and supporting requests, offers, price approvals, communication, and electronic payment.
The platform publishes clear privacy, terms, refund, cancellation, payment, pricing, tax, business-description, and contact information; uses HTTPS; and does not store complete card details or CVV. Technical implementation must remain aligned with the current payment provider and payment-network requirements.
Liability Limits and Warranty Disclaimer
Salehly is a technology intermediary connecting customers with providers. Salehly does not guarantee the quality, results, or timing of services and is not a party to the direct contractual relationship between the customer and provider except to the extent necessary to operate the platform, process payments, and manage orders. Salehly gives no express or implied warranty regarding service fitness, safety, conformity with expectations, or fitness for a particular purpose.
The provider alone is responsible for service performance, quality, safety, licenses, and professional compliance. To the extent permitted by law, Salehly is not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss; lost profits, revenue, opportunities, or data; property or moral loss; injury; or claims arising from performance, delay, cancellation, non-performance, poor quality, or dealings between customer and provider.
The platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Nothing excludes fraud, gross negligence, or any liability or mandatory consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, customers and providers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Salehly, its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents from claims, proceedings, fines, losses, damages, reasonable costs, and expenses arising from breach of these terms or laws, platform misuse, harm to third parties, or infringement of their rights.
Complaints and Dispute Resolution
A complaint may be submitted within 30 days of the event or its discovery to support@salehly.com, with the order number, description, requested outcome, and relevant evidence. Accepted evidence may include platform messages, order and payment records, photographs, invoices, offers, and inspection reports.
Salehly provides an initial response within 48 business hours after complete submission and acts as a neutral intermediary seeking an amicable solution, not as a court or a party to the underlying service dispute. A complaint may close upon settlement, failure to complete requested information, or a competent authority's decision. If no amicable solution is reached within 30 days, either party may approach the competent authority.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Courts in the Saudi city designated by Salehly have jurisdiction over platform-related disputes unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
General Terms, Amendments, and Contact
- Salehly may change, amend, or update these terms and policies at any time when operational, technical, or legal circumstances require.
- The updated version and effective date will be published through the platform. Material changes will be notified and renewed consent obtained where legally required. Changes do not apply retroactively to acquired rights or confirmed orders unless required by law.
- Salehly may temporarily suspend technical services for security, technical, operational, or maintenance reasons while using reasonable efforts to reduce impact and restore service.
- Notices sent through the application or registered email are recognized notices where sending can be evidenced, subject to mandatory notice requirements.
- The agreement starts upon electronic acceptance and continues while the account or use remains active. It may be terminated under these terms, while accrued rights and obligations survive.
- Clicking “Accept” or continuing to use the application after the terms are made available constitutes binding electronic acceptance to the extent permitted by law. If the user rejects the terms, the application and services cannot be used.
- In a conflict, approved order-specific or offer-specific terms prevail within their scope, followed by this document, then published operational instructions, unless law requires otherwise.
- The platform may include links or services operated by independent third parties. Those services are governed by their providers' terms and policies, and Salehly is not responsible for their content, practices, or availability to the extent permitted by law.
- If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to exercise a right is not a waiver.
- The Arabic version prevails in case of conflict with a translation.
