- "User": Any natural or legal person who benefits from the Platform's services in any manner.

Happy Melk is a specialist platform for information dissemination, market analysis, and independent advisory in the North Iran real estate sector.
Happy Melk is an independent informational and analytical platform — not a licensed real estate agency, not a financial institution, and not a law firm.
Happy Melk expressly acknowledges that it:
- Does not own, sell, purchase, or lease any of the properties presented.
- Has no obligation to conclude, complete, or guarantee transactions between buyers and sellers.
- Provides informational and analytical infrastructure, and accepts no responsibility for the outcomes of users' independent decisions.
- Does not receive commissions from any seller, developer, or advertiser, unless explicitly stated in writing.
Happy Melk strives to publish highly accurate content by using reliable sources, continuous market monitoring, and field visits. However, given the dynamic nature of the property market, the Platform accepts no liability for:
- Price, legal, or physical changes to properties after information is published.
- Potential errors arising from data entered by owners or advertisers.
- Any direct or indirect damage resulting from decisions made based on Platform content.
- Discrepancies between displayed prices and the actual transaction price.
Important Emphasis: Conducting independent legal, technical, and financial due diligence prior to any financial or contractual action is the User's sole and exclusive responsibility.
All analytical reports, HMII, HMLI, HMRI indices, market studies, price forecasts, and investment opportunity assessments published by Happy Melk are strictly expert, educational, and informational in nature:
- They do not constitute definitive investment recommendations or obligations to transact.
- They provide no guarantee of profit, positive returns, or appreciation in property value.
- They may be affected by macroeconomic variables, political developments, exchange rates, and regulatory changes.
- The HMII index is purely an educational analytical tool and is insufficient for making investment decisions.
Users are required to evaluate the results of these analyses alongside other information sources and independent specialist advice.
The Happy Melk platform offers multiple forms to receive various types of requests. Upon submitting any form, the User confirms the following:
By submitting any form, the User explicitly confirms:
- The accuracy, completeness, and currency of all information entered.
- Informed consent to receive follow-up contact, proposals, or communications from the Happy Melk team.
- Permission to store the submitted information for the purpose of delivering the requested services.
Technical Metadata: Alongside form data, technical information is automatically collected, including browser User Agent, language, time zone, screen resolution, and referring page. This data is used exclusively to improve service quality and security.
- Submitting a registration form creates no contractual right or obligation for either party.
- Happy Melk reserves the right to reject any application without providing reasons.
- Business information, the business model, guidelines, and training materials provided under the Franchise are confidential and the exclusive property of Happy Melk.
- Regional agency is exclusive; once granted, it is valid for the duration and conditions stipulated in the dedicated agreement.
- Any use of the Happy Melk name, logo, or brand without an active Franchise agreement is strictly prohibited.
The agency application form is merely the first step in the evaluation process. Final approval is conditional on correspondence, negotiations, and the signing of a formal contract.
Happy Melk's Open Innovation Programme, accessible via research.html, is designed to attract ideas, dissertations, startups, and researchers. By registering a request in this section, the User agrees to:
- Information provided in the research form will be used for internal evaluation by the Happy Melk team.
- Registering an idea does not grant its owner any rights as a partner, shareholder, or employee of Happy Melk.
- Happy Melk is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of submitted project information; however, this does not prevent Happy Melk from independently developing similar products, unless a separate NDA is concluded.
- Any potential collaboration following evaluation is subject to a separate written agreement.
If your idea or project is commercially sensitive or of high value, please contact us before submitting the form so that a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) can be established first.
Happy Melk offers property advisory services in two international editions (Arabic and English) for foreign investors, overseas Iranians, and international buyers:
- All international consultations are purely informational and advisory in nature, and do not substitute formal legal advice.
- Foreign clients must be aware of the legal restrictions on property ownership by non-Iranians in Iran, and must consult an Iranian lawyer before taking any action.
- Exchange rate fluctuations (Iranian Rial against USD, EUR, AED) may significantly affect the value of an investment.
- Happy Melk does not hold a licence for financial or investment advisory under any foreign regulatory framework (EU, UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc.).
Happy Melk is committed to protecting users' personal information in accordance with the following principles:
- User data is never sold or transferred to third parties under any circumstances.
- Information is used solely to deliver the requested services and improve the user experience.
- Happy Melk employs appropriate technical measures to protect data from unauthorised access.
- Data submitted through forms reaches our team via email and is also stored securely in a database.
