Terms of Service

Effective date: July 27, 2026

1. Welcome to Dateagent

Plain English: this is the contract for using Dateagent. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to it.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Dateagent ("Dateagent," "we," "us"). They govern your use of the Dateagent iOS app, the Dateagent App Clip, the Dateagent iMessage extension, our websites (dateagent.com and dateagent.app, including invitation and RSVP pages), and related features (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, tapping "agree," or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. If you respond to an invitation as a Guest, Section 11 explains how these Terms apply to you.

Our Community Guidelines and Copyright Policy are part of these Terms and are incorporated by reference. Our Privacy Policy, Guest Privacy Notice, Safety Policy, and AI Transparency Notice describe how the Service works and how we handle information; you acknowledge them, but they are informational disclosures, not contractual terms, except where these Terms expressly say otherwise.

2. Definitions

• "Host" — a person with a Dateagent account who creates date options and sends invitations.
• "Guest" — a person who receives, views, or responds to an invitation, with or without an account.
• "Contact Data" — information a Host records about another person (contact entries, notes, date history, feedback).
• "Content" — anything uploaded, entered, or created in the Service, including photos, text, date options, notes, RSVPs, and feedback.
• "Your Content" — Content you submit.

3. Eligibility

Plain English: adults only — 18+. Be legally able to agree to a contract, and don't use Dateagent if we've previously banned you.

You may use the Service only if you:

1. are 18 years of age or older;
2. can form a binding contract with Dateagent;
3. are not barred from using the Service under U.S. law or any applicable law, including not being listed on any U.S. government prohibited-party list (such as the Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals list);
4. have not been previously removed from the Service for violating these Terms; and
5. have not been convicted of, or pled no contest to, a felony or indictable offense (or a crime of similar severity), a sex crime, or any crime involving violence or a threat of violence, and are not required to register as a sex offender with any government registry.

The Service is a planning tool for adults; there is no separate "minor mode."

4. Your Account

Plain English: sign in with your phone number, keep your account secure, give accurate info, and tell us if something's wrong.

You sign in with a one-time code sent to your phone number. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping control of your phone number and device. Notify us immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorized use. You agree that the information you provide is accurate and that you'll keep it current. Accounts are personal to you: one account per person, no selling, renting, or transferring accounts, and no account sharing. Your account is not transferable, and any rights to it or Your Content end upon your death except as required by law.

You may enable Face ID / Touch ID app lock; biometric processing happens on your device and is optional.

5. What Dateagent Is (and Is Not)

Plain English: we're a planning and invitation tool — not a matchmaker, not a background-check service, and not a party to your dates.

Dateagent helps you plan dates, share invitations, track RSVPs, and privately record your own feedback. Understand what we are not:

• Not a matchmaking or introduction service. We do not introduce you to strangers, suggest people to date, or operate a discovery feed. You invite people you already know.
• No vetting. We do not conduct criminal-background or identity checks on anyone, and we do not verify the identity, statements, or intentions of Hosts or Guests. See Section 10 (Safety) and our Safety Policy.
• Not a party to your dates. Hosts and Guests are solely responsible for their interactions and plans. Venues, activities, and third-party businesses referenced in date options are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or verified by Dateagent.
• Free of charge (today). The Service currently has no paid features. If we introduce paid features, we will present their terms and pricing before you buy anything.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We'll aim to give notice of changes that materially reduce core functionality.

6. License to Use the Service

Plain English: we give you a personal license to use the app; don't reverse-engineer, scrape, or resell it.

Dateagent grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. Except as permitted by law, you may not (and may not help anyone else): copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service; reverse-engineer or extract source code; scrape, crawl, or harvest data (including via automated tools or AI systems); probe or breach security measures; interfere with the Service's operation; access the Service to build a competing product; or use the Service for any commercial purpose without our written consent.

The app binary distributed through the Apple App Store is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which governs your use of the binary itself; these Terms govern the Service. Apple is not responsible for the Service and has no obligation to furnish support or address claims relating to it; Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Section with the right to enforce it.

7. Your Content and License to Us

Plain English: your content is yours. You give us the permission we need to run the Service — nothing more. Delete your account and the license ends, except for short-lived backups.

You own Your Content. You retain all rights in Your Content. We do not claim ownership.

License to us. So we can operate the Service, you grant Dateagent a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (solely to our service providers listed in the Sub-processor List) and transferable (solely as described in the Privacy Policy's business-transfers section) license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for technical display purposes, e.g., resizing photos), transmit, and display Your Content as necessary to provide, secure, and improve the Service and as directed by you (for example, showing your datemenu to a Guest you invite). This license is not a license to sell Your Content, use it in advertising without your separate consent, or train third-party AI models on it.

Duration. The license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except (a) residual copies in encrypted backups until they expire per the Privacy Policy, (b) Content you shared with others that they retain (e.g., a Wallet pass or screenshot a Guest saved), and (c) records we must keep for safety or legal compliance.

Responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you own it or have the rights to submit it, and that it doesn't violate law or others' rights (including privacy, publicity, and intellectual-property rights). Only upload photos you have the right to use.

Not a backup service. While we sync your data to provide the Service, Dateagent is not a backup service and has no obligation to store or preserve Your Content indefinitely — if something matters to you (your contacts, notes, or history), keep your own copy.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions about the Service, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you.

8. Data About Other People (Host Responsibilities)

Plain English: you'll store real information about real people. Only add people you know, keep it respectful, and honor their wishes.

Dateagent lets you record Contact Data and invite Guests. You agree that you will:

1. add contact details only for people you have a genuine personal connection with, and only information you have a lawful basis to provide;
2. use Contact Data only for personal date planning — never for commercial outreach, spam, or any purpose the person wouldn't reasonably expect;
3. not use the Service to track, surveil, harass, or contact anyone who has asked you to stop;
4. promptly delete a person's Contact Data if they ask you to; and
5. acknowledge that Guests receive a Guest Privacy Notice and can ask us to delete RSVP data they submitted.

Private notes and feedback are private to your account — but they are still subject to law and to Section 9 if they surface in reports (e.g., threats are never acceptable, even in "private" fields).

9. Acceptable Use, Moderation, and Objectionable Content

Plain English: no tolerance for abuse. We review reports promptly, remove violating content, and ban abusers.

You must follow the Community Guidelines. In particular, there is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior, including: harassment, stalking, or threats; hate speech or discrimination (including on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity); sexually explicit or exploitative content; non-consensual intimate imagery; content involving minors in any form (where we have actual knowledge of apparent child sexual exploitation, we report it to NCMEC as required by law); impersonation or misrepresentation; doxxing; spam or unsolicited commercial messaging; and illegal activity of any kind.

Reporting and enforcement. Anyone — including Guests without accounts — can report content or behavior in the app or at [email protected]. We review and act promptly on objectionable-content reports — prioritizing reports involving safety — including by removing content and ejecting offending users where warranted. You can also block other registered users in the app, and you can instantly deactivate any invite link or hide your datemenu. We may remove any Content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion to enforce these Terms, comply with law, or protect users, and we may preserve and disclose information as described in the Privacy Policy and Law Enforcement Guidelines.

No obligation to monitor. We may — but have no obligation to — monitor, screen, or review Content. Responsibility for Content rests with the person who submitted it.

Off-Service conduct. We may take enforcement action based on conduct that occurs off the Service when it is connected to the Service — including conduct toward another user or Guest on or around a date arranged through Dateagent — where we learn of it through reports or otherwise.

Appeals. If we remove your Content or restrict your account, we'll notify you where lawful, and you may appeal by emailing [email protected] within 30 days.

10. Safety; No Background Checks

Plain English: we don't screen anyone. Use your judgment, meet safely, and use the reporting tools.

Dateagent does not conduct criminal-background, identity, or other screening of any user or Guest, and makes no representations about anyone's conduct, identity, or compatibility. We reserve the right — but have no obligation — to conduct such screenings at any time using available public records, and you authorize us to do so. Even where safety features exist, they are not a guarantee: no screening system is complete, and people can misrepresent themselves.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other people. Review our Safety Policy — meet in public, tell someone your plans, arrange your own transportation, and trust your instincts. Never send money or share financial information with someone you're dating. If you believe you're in danger, contact 911 (or your local emergency services) first, then report to us.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dateagent is not responsible for the conduct — online or offline — of any user, Guest, or third party, including at venues you visit.

11. Guests

Plain English: you can RSVP without an account. Guests agree to our Community Guidelines, get privacy protections without an account, and are not bound by the arbitration clause.

Guests may view invitations and RSVP without an account, via the App Clip or web. By submitting an RSVP, a Guest agrees to our Community Guidelines, which are presented at the RSVP form. These Terms otherwise apply to Guests only as they describe Guest use of the Service, and the arbitration agreement in Section 19 does not apply to Guests who have no account. Merely viewing an invitation does not create obligations beyond applicable law. Guests' information is handled per the Guest Privacy Notice: the RSVP is shared with the inviting Host; if a Guest ticks the "text me" box and provides a phone number, we send a confirmation text about that RSVP (reply STOP to opt out); and Guests can report abusive invitations and can ask us to delete their RSVP data at [email protected].

12. Third-Party Services and Venues

The Service references or integrates third-party services — venue websites, maps, weather data, your calendar, Apple Wallet, and iMessage. Third parties are governed by their own terms and privacy policies; we are not responsible for them. Date options describe venues chosen by Hosts; Dateagent does not verify hours, pricing, availability, or safety of any venue or activity and is not responsible for your experience at them.

13. AI Content Screening

Plain English: an automated AI check screens content you share (photos, profile, date ideas) before your Guests can see it. It can be wrong; a human will re-review on request.

Dateagent does not itself publish Your Content — it becomes visible only through invitations you share and your datemenu page, which you can hide. Photos you upload (your profile photo and contact photos) and content that can become visible to Guests — your profile text and date ideas — are screened by an automated AI check against our Community Guidelines before Guests can see it (see the AI Transparency Notice and Privacy Policy Section 5). You consent to this screening as a condition of sharing content through the Service. Screening decisions are automated and may be wrong in either direction; they apply only to the individual content submitted — never to your account — and you can request human review of any block by emailing [email protected]. Dateagent does not use AI to match, rate, or rank people, to generate messages on your behalf, or to make automated decisions about you with legal or similarly significant effects.

14. Intellectual Property

The Service — including software, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (including "Dateagent") — is owned by Dateagent or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the licenses expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. We respect the intellectual property of others and will respond to copyright notices under our Copyright / DMCA Policy, including terminating repeat infringers.

15. Termination

Plain English: you can leave any time (delete in Settings). We can suspend or close accounts that break the rules.

By you. Delete your account any time in Settings; deletion behaves as described in the Privacy Policy.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access (with notice where practicable) if you violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if we discontinue the Service. We may also terminate inactive accounts after extended inactivity with prior notice.

Effect. Upon termination your license ends and Sections 7 (for the wind-down period), 8, 10, 14, and 16–21 survive.

16. Disclaimers

Plain English: the Service is provided "as is." We can't promise perfect uptime, perfect data, or good dates.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DATEAGENT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DATA (INCLUDING WEATHER FORECASTS, VENUE DETAILS, OR AI OUTPUT) WILL BE ACCURATE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT ANY DATE, RELATIONSHIP, OR OUTCOME WILL RESULT FROM USE OF THE SERVICE. DATEAGENT MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING, AND DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER, GUEST, VENUE, OR THIRD PARTY, AND FOR ANY CONTENT PROVIDED BY USERS OR GUESTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

17. Limitation of Liability

Plain English: our liability is capped, except where the law says it can't be — and we don't limit liability for our own fraud.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DATEAGENT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE — INCLUDING DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE CONDUCT (ONLINE OR OFFLINE) OF ANY USER, GUEST, OR THIRD PARTY, OR FROM ANY MEETING OR RELATIONSHIP FORMED THROUGH THE SERVICE — WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

DATEAGENT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID DATEAGENT IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for Dateagent's own fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for Dateagent's gross negligence or willful misconduct; for death or personal injury caused by Dateagent's negligence; or for any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. The limitations in this Section are fundamental elements of the bargain between you and Dateagent and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

18. Indemnification

Plain English: if your content or your misuse of the Service gets us sued, you cover us — but only for things that are actually your doing.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dateagent and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of: (a) Your Content, including Contact Data you record about others; (b) your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right; or (c) your interactions with any user, Guest, or third party, to the extent the claim arises from your breach of these Terms or your wrongful conduct. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from Dateagent's own breach of these Terms, negligence, or misconduct. We may assume the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Plain English: talk to us first (60 days). Then disputes go to individual arbitration, not court — except small claims, injunctions for IP or safety, and sexual-assault/harassment claims, which never require arbitration. You can opt out of arbitration entirely within 45 days.

19.1 Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you and Dateagent agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you seek to [email protected] (subject "Dispute Notice"); we'll do the same to your contact information on file. If the dispute isn't resolved within 60 days of notice, either party may proceed under this Section. Limitation periods are tolled during this process.

19.2 Agreement to arbitrate. Except as provided in 19.4 and 19.5, you and Dateagent agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. This arbitration agreement applies to disputes between Dateagent and account holders; it does not bind Guests who have not created an account. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement.

19.3 Rules and procedure. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in the U.S. county where you live or by videoconference. For claims under $10,000 the arbitration will be conducted on written submissions unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator orders one. Dateagent will pay filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees beyond the amount of the court filing fee you would have paid, except where the arbitrator finds a claim frivolous. The arbitrator can award the same individual relief a court could, must apply these Terms, and will issue a reasoned written decision. Judgment may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

19.4 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court; or (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or to address urgent safety issues (e.g., threats, stalking, unauthorized access).

19.5 Sexual assault and harassment claims. Consistent with the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, you may choose to bring claims alleging sexual assault or sexual harassment in court instead of arbitration, and nothing in these Terms waives that right.

19.6 Class-action and jury waiver. YOU AND DATEAGENT EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy (and only that) shall proceed in court, stayed pending arbitration of the rest.

19.7 Mass filings. If 25 or more similar demands are filed against Dateagent by the same or coordinated counsel within 90 days, the parties agree to a staged (bellwether) process: 10 randomly selected cases proceed first; the results go to a mediator; and if the remaining cases aren't resolved within 90 days of mediation beginning, each remaining claimant may elect to proceed in court, on an individual basis and subject to Section 19.6. Filing fees for non-bellwether cases are deferred during this process, and all applicable statutes of limitations are tolled for every deferred claimant from the date their demand is filed until it is resolved, withdrawn, or proceeds in court under this Section.

19.8 45-day opt-out. You may reject this arbitration agreement (Sections 19.2–19.3 and 19.6–19.7) — with no effect on your ability to use the Service — by emailing [email protected] (subject "Arbitration Opt-Out") with your name and the phone number or email associated with your account within 45 days of first accepting these Terms. Opt-outs apply individually; the rest of Section 19 (informal resolution; exceptions) still applies.

19.9 Severability and survival. If any part of this Section is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect (subject to 19.6). This Section survives termination of your account.

20. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any claims not subject to arbitration (and any action to enforce arbitration) must be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there — except that either party may bring small-claims actions where you live, and nothing here limits Section 19.5.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes we'll give you at least 30 days' notice in the app (or by text/email) before they take effect; material changes to Section 19 include a renewed opt-out window for the change. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance; if you don't agree, stop using the Service and delete your account. The current version will always be posted with its effective date.

22. California Consumer Notice

Under California Civil Code §1789.3, California users are entitled to know: the Service is provided by Dateagent (contact: [email protected]). The Service is currently free of charge. Complaints may be directed to [email protected] or to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (800) 952-5210.

23. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms (with the documents incorporated by reference) are the entire agreement between you and Dateagent about the Service and supersede prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary; the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, consistent with the Privacy Policy's business-transfers commitments.
• Force majeure. We're not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms create no rights in any third party, except Apple as described in Section 6.
• Notices; electronic communications. We may provide notices in-app, by text message, or by email, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically; electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. You also expressly consent to receive Service-related text messages (sign-in codes, confirmations, and notifications you enable); reply STOP to stop, HELP for help. You may contact us at [email protected].
• Survival. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination do (including Sections 7 wind-down, 8, 10, 14, and 16–21).
