1. Acceptance of This Agreement
1.1 Binding contract. By checking the acceptance box during registration, tapping "I Agree" when signing in with a social login (Google, Facebook, or Apple), or otherwise creating an account or using DatingRealPeople (the "Service," operated by DatingRealPeople, Inc.), you agree to be bound by this User Agreement, our Privacy Policy, our Community Guidelines and Safety Tips, and any terms disclosed when you purchase a subscription or virtual items — all incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not create an account and do not use the Service.
1.2 Electronic contracting. You consent to transact with us electronically under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and applicable state UETA laws. Your electronic acceptance has the same legal force as a handwritten signature. We keep a record of the date, time, version, and manner of your acceptance.
1.3 Where this Agreement applies. This Agreement applies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Where the law of your state or territory grants you rights that cannot be waived by contract, nothing in this Agreement limits those rights (see Sections 15.5 and 19).
1.4 Updated versions. When we materially change this Agreement, we will present the updated version in the app and require your renewed acceptance before continued use, and/or give you at least 30 days' advance notice by email. The version and effective date above control which text applies to you.
2. Eligibility
By using the Service you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years old. The Service is strictly for adults; misrepresenting your age is a material breach and grounds for immediate termination;
- You are legally able to enter a binding contract;
- You are not required to register as a sex offender under any federal, state, territorial, or local law;
- You have not been convicted of a felony or indictable offense (or crime of similar severity) involving violence, sexual misconduct, harassment, fraud, or crimes against persons;
- You are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law and do not appear on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties (including OFAC sanctions lists);
- You have not previously been banned from the Service and do not have another active account.
We may (but are not obligated to) use identity verification, liveness detection, and screening of publicly available records to assess eligibility at any time, and may refuse, suspend, or terminate any account that fails or refuses verification.
3. Important Safety Disclosures — No Background Checks
3.1 WE DO NOT CURRENTLY CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SCREENINGS OF OUR MEMBERS. DATINGREALPEOPLE DOES NOT ROUTINELY RUN CRIMINAL RECORD CHECKS, SEX-OFFENDER REGISTRY CHECKS, OR SIMILAR SCREENINGS ON USERS BEFORE ALLOWING THEM TO CREATE PROFILES OR COMMUNICATE. This disclosure is provided in accordance with state Internet dating safety laws, including New York General Business Law § 394-c, the New Jersey Internet Dating Safety Act, Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 106, and similar laws of other states and territories.
3.2 Verification is not a guarantee. Our optional identity tools (liveness check, government-ID verification, trust scores) reduce — but do not eliminate — the risk of misrepresentation. A "verified" badge means a user completed a verification step at a point in time. It does not mean the person is safe, honest, or well-intentioned. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user, on or off the Service.
3.3 You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users. Exercise the same or greater caution you would use meeting a stranger anywhere else. Review our Safety Tips before meeting anyone in person: meet in public, tell a friend, arrange your own transportation, and never send money.
3.4 NEVER SEND MONEY OR SHARE FINANCIAL INFORMATION with anyone you meet on the Service — no exceptions, no matter how convincing the story. Requests for money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, investment "opportunities," or financial account details are the signature of romance-scam fraud. Report them in-app immediately.
3.5 No emergency services. The Service does not provide emergency assistance and is not a substitute for 911 or local emergency services.
3.6 Optional self-ordered background check. The Service offers an optional, paid feature that lets you order a background check about yourself from Checkr, Inc., a third-party consumer reporting agency, for the price disclosed at the point of purchase. This feature does not change Section 3.1: we still do not screen members, we never run a background check on you without your explicit order and consent, results are provided for your own information, and no background check product is a guarantee of anyone's identity, honesty, or safety. Fees for a background check are final and non-refundable once the check has been ordered, except where a refund is required by non-waivable law (see Section 12.7).
4. Your Account
4.1 You are responsible for your login credentials and all activity under your account. Notify security@datingrealpeople.com immediately of any suspected unauthorized access.
4.2 One account per person. You may not share, sell, transfer, or license your account, and you may not create a new account to evade a suspension or ban.
4.3 All registration information must be truthful, accurate, and kept current. Photos must depict you.
4.4 You may delete your account at any time in Settings. Deletion is permanent; personal data is handled per the Privacy Policy and our legal retention obligations.
5. Identity Verification & Biometric Data
5.1 The Service offers identity tools, including a camera-based liveness check and government-ID verification through our third-party provider. Some features (such as search and hosting live sessions) require verification.
5.2 Biometric consent. Liveness and ID verification involve the collection and processing of biometric identifiers (scans of face geometry) by us and/or our verification provider. Before any such collection, you will be shown — and must separately agree to — a biometric data consent describing what is collected, why, how long it is kept, and how it is destroyed, consistent with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, Washington's biometric privacy laws, and similar statutes. We do not sell biometric data, and we do not use it for any purpose other than verification, safety, and fraud prevention. See the Privacy Policy for retention and destruction schedules. Accepting this Agreement does not itself authorize biometric collection — that consent is requested separately at the moment of verification, and verification is optional (though some features remain unavailable without it).
6. Community Rules & Prohibited Conduct
You agree that you will NOT:
- Use the Service if you are under 18, or interact with anyone you know or suspect to be under 18;
- Misrepresent your identity, age, photos, or intentions ("catfishing"), or impersonate any person or entity;
- Request money, financial assistance, financial account details, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or investment participation from any user, or promote any "opportunity" involving payment — any request for money is a bannable offense;
- Engage in romance-scam activity, "pig-butchering," advance-fee fraud, or any deceptive or fraudulent scheme;
- Solicit or offer prostitution, escort services, commercial sexual services, or compensated relationships;
- Harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, defame, or abuse anyone, on or off the platform;
- Post or transmit content that is illegal, sexually explicit, exploitative of minors in any way, violent, hateful, or discriminatory (including on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age);
- Record, screenshot, or otherwise capture any call, video, image, or message without the knowing consent of all participants, or threaten to distribute intimate content (see Section 7);
- Create, share, or threaten to share deepfakes or AI-generated or altered intimate imagery of any real person;
- Use bots, scrapers, automation, or bulk tools; harvest data; or attempt to reverse-engineer, probe, or disrupt the Service;
- Spoof location, evade blocks or bans, or circumvent any security or safety feature;
- Use the Service for commercial solicitation, advertising, or campaigning without our written consent;
- Violate any applicable law or regulation, or encourage anyone else to.
We may investigate any suspected violation, remove content, restrict features, suspend, or terminate accounts, and cooperate with law enforcement, at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
7. Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery & Sextortion
7.1 Threatening to share, or sharing, intimate images or recordings of a person without their consent — including AI-generated or altered imagery — is strictly prohibited, is grounds for immediate permanent ban, and is a crime under federal law (including the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act) and the laws of every state.
7.2 Reporting and removal. If intimate imagery of you has been shared through the Service without your consent, report it in-app or email safety@datingrealpeople.com with (1) your contact information, (2) identification of the content, and (3) a good-faith statement that it was shared without consent. We will act on valid reports of non-consensual intimate imagery within 48 hours of verification, consistent with federal law, and will make reasonable efforts to remove identical copies.
7.3 We cooperate with law enforcement on sextortion, trafficking, and child-exploitation matters, and we report apparent child sexual abuse material to NCMEC as required by law. Good-faith reporters will not be penalized for submitting evidence.
8. User Content & License
8.1 You retain ownership of the content you post (photos, videos, bio text, messages, live streams). You grant DatingRealPeople a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (to our service providers) license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for technical formatting), display, and distribute your content solely to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Service — for example, showing your profile to other users. The license for a piece of content ends when you or we delete it, except (a) content already shared with others that they have not deleted, (b) content we must retain for legal, safety, or fraud-prevention reasons, and (c) residual backup copies retained per the Privacy Policy.
8.2 You represent that you own or have all rights needed for the content you post, and that it does not infringe or violate anyone's rights, including privacy, publicity, and intellectual-property rights.
8.3 We may (but have no duty to) screen, filter, or remove content, including with automated tools and AI-assisted scam-detection systems that scan message content for fraud, exploitation, and safety threats as described in the Privacy Policy.
8.4 No AI training on your content. We will not use your photos, videos, messages, or profile content to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models — ours or any third party's — without your separate, explicit, opt-in consent. Automated safety systems (such as scam detection) analyzing your content to protect users is not model training and is described in the Privacy Policy.
8.5 Feedback you send us (ideas, suggestions) may be used without restriction or compensation.
9. Interactive Service; No Duty to Monitor
9.1 The Service is an interactive computer service. User profiles, messages, calls, live sessions, and other user content are provided by users, not by us, and we are not the publisher or speaker of that content. We do not endorse, verify, or guarantee any user content or any statement made by any user.
9.2 While we deploy safety tooling (reporting, blocking, moderation, AI scam detection, trust scores), we assume no duty to monitor any particular communication or to detect or prevent any particular misconduct, and the existence of these tools does not create such a duty. Safety features are provided "as is" as a courtesy and may miss misconduct.
10. Calls & Live Sessions
10.1 Audio/video calls use encrypted transport. Call metadata (participants, timestamps, duration) is logged for safety and support. We do not listen to or record the content of private calls; we may preserve and review content or metadata in response to valid legal process or verified safety reports.
10.2 Only call users who have chosen to receive calls. Recording or capturing calls without all participants' consent is prohibited (Sections 6 and 7) and may be a crime in two-party-consent states (for example, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington).
10.3 Live sessions are visible to other users per your audience settings; treat anything you broadcast as public.
11. Virtual Items & Coins
11.1 The Service may offer virtual coins, gifts, roses, or similar items ("Virtual Items"). Virtual Items are a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use a feature of the Service. They are not money or property, have no cash value, cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or transferred outside the Service, and may be modified or discontinued at any time.
11.2 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the app stores' policies, all Virtual Item purchases are final and non-refundable, including when an account is terminated for violating this Agreement or when you close your account. Unused Virtual Items are forfeited when your account closes and are never redeemed for money.
11.3 Virtual Items never purchase ranking, visibility, or matching advantage over other users — discovery placement on DatingRealPeople is earned through verification and behavior, never bought.
12. Subscriptions, Billing & Auto-Renewal
12.1 Purchases run through the app stores. Premium subscriptions are purchased through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Billing, renewal, cancellation mechanics, and refunds are administered by the store you purchased from, under its terms.
12.2 AUTOMATIC RENEWAL DISCLOSURE. SUBSCRIPTIONS RENEW AUTOMATICALLY at the price and interval disclosed at purchase until you cancel. YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED at each renewal. You can cancel at any time in your device's subscription settings (App Store: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; Google Play: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions); cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Cancellation is available by the same medium you used to subscribe, consistent with state automatic-renewal laws (including California's Automatic Renewal Law and New York GBL § 527-a) and the FTC's Negative Option Rule.
12.3 Free trials convert to paid subscriptions at the disclosed price unless cancelled before the trial ends; we disclose the trial length and first-charge date before you start.
12.4 Price changes apply only to renewals after we notify you and (where the stores require) you consent.
12.5 State cancellation rights for dating services. If you are a resident of a state whose dating-service law grants a statutory cooling-off right (for example, California Civil Code §§ 1694–1694.4 provides a right to cancel a dating service contract within three business days), you may cancel within the statutory window and receive a refund of amounts paid, by emailing billing@datingrealpeople.com with your account email and the words "Statutory Cancellation," or through the app store refund process. If you die or become disabled before the end of your subscription, you or your estate may be entitled to a refund of the unused portion as provided by applicable state law.
12.6 Billing errors: contact billing@datingrealpeople.com; we will investigate and correct verified errors.
12.7 ALL SALES ARE FINAL — NO REFUNDS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL PAYMENTS MADE TO DATINGREALPEOPLE OR THROUGH THE SERVICE — INCLUDING SUBSCRIPTIONS, VIRTUAL ITEMS, WALLET TOP-UPS, AND PAID SERVICES SUCH AS BACKGROUND CHECKS — ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, AND WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS, CREDITS, OR PRO-RATA REIMBURSEMENTS FOR ANY UNUSED PERIOD, UNUSED BALANCE, OR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICE. This Section does not limit: (a) refund rights that applicable law makes non-waivable, including the statutory cancellation rights described in Section 12.5; (b) refunds the app store you purchased from decides to grant under its own policies; or (c) correction of verified billing errors under Section 12.6.
12.8 Background Check Service. The self-ordered background check described in Section 3.6 is a one-time paid service at the price disclosed in the app at the time of your order, currently US $175.99, charged to your in-app wallet balance. The check is performed by Checkr, Inc. under its own terms and privacy policy. You may only order a background check about yourself, and you must give explicit consent at the time of ordering. Once ordered, the fee is final and non-refundable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Results are informational only; we make no representation about their accuracy or completeness, and Section 3.2 applies to them.
13. Termination & Survival
13.1 You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.
13.2 We may suspend or terminate your account, restrict features, or refuse service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you violated this Agreement, created risk or legal exposure for us or any user, or where required by law. We are not obligated to refund any amounts, and unused Virtual Items are forfeited, when termination results from your violation.
13.3 You may appeal moderation decisions to appeals@datingrealpeople.com within 30 days.
13.4 Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive, including Sections 3, 7, 8 (for the wind-down period), 9, 11, and 13–21.
14. Disclaimers of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (B) ANY USER'S IDENTITY, STATEMENTS, PHOTOS, OR CONDUCT ARE ACCURATE, LAWFUL, OR SAFE; (C) YOU WILL OBTAIN MATCHES, DATES, RELATIONSHIPS, OR ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME; OR (D) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
15. Limitation of Liability; Assumption of Risk
15.1 ASSUMPTION OF RISK — USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT MEETING AND COMMUNICATING WITH STRANGERS CARRIES INHERENT RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS, ONLINE AND OFFLINE, AND YOU AGREE THAT DATINGREALPEOPLE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, STATEMENTS, OR OMISSIONS OF ANY USER.
15.2 EXCLUDED DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DATINGREALPEOPLE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
15.3 LIABILITY CAP. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100.
15.4 Exceptions. Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or for death or personal injury where such limitation is prohibited.
15.5 State-law savings. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages; some or all of the exclusions and limitations above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to violate the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act or to limit any rights that New Jersey or any other state's law makes non-waivable.
16. Dispute Resolution — Arbitration Agreement & Class Action Waiver
Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights. You may opt out (Section 16.9).
16.1 Informal resolution first (required). Before either of us files an arbitration or court claim (other than small-claims or IP claims under 16.4), the party with the dispute must send an individualized written notice to the other — for us: legal@datingrealpeople.com, subject "Dispute Notice," including your name, account email, a description of the dispute, and the relief sought — and then engage in a good-faith effort to resolve it, including at least one telephone or video conference if either party requests one. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days of the notice, either party may proceed under this Section. This is a condition precedent to arbitration or suit, and any statute of limitations is tolled during the process.
16.2 Agreement to arbitrate. You and DatingRealPeople agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service, your account, or your relationship with us — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, or any other legal theory, and whether arising before or after this Agreement — will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, and not in court. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
16.3 Arbitration rules and procedure. The arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM) under its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and its Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules (available at namadr.com), or, if NAM is unavailable, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. One arbitrator. Filing fees and arbitrator compensation are allocated per the administrator's consumer rules; if your claim is for less than $10,000 and you cannot afford the filing fee, we will pay it. Arbitration may be conducted by videoconference or, if an in-person hearing is required, in the county where you live. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, must apply this Agreement and applicable law, and must issue a reasoned written decision.
16.4 Carve-outs. Either party may: (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence (and if a small-claims-eligible claim is filed in arbitration, either party may elect to have it heard in small claims court instead); (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property or for unauthorized access/abuse of the Service; and (c) report matters to, and seek relief from, federal, state, territorial, or local agencies (nothing here limits the agency's power to seek relief on your behalf).
16.5 CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND DATINGREALPEOPLE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (except that this waiver does not apply to claims for public injunctive relief where such waiver is unenforceable, or to representative claims a statute makes non-waivable, such as certain California PAGA claims — which are severed and stayed per 16.8). Claims may not be joined or consolidated without the written consent of all parties.
16.6 Mass filings. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against us by the same or coordinated counsel, the NAM Mass Filing Rules apply, including staged "bellwether" proceedings: an initial set of cases (up to 20, half selected by each side) proceeds to arbitration first; the remaining demands are not deemed filed (and no fees are owed on them) until the bellwether stage and a subsequent global mediation conclude; statutes of limitation are tolled for queued demands. Both sides retain the right, after the bellwether and mediation stages, to elect court proceedings for remaining claims by written notice, in which case those claims proceed in court under Section 18 and the class waiver in 16.5 still applies to the maximum extent permitted.
16.7 Delegation. The arbitrator (not a court) resolves all disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court decides (a) disputes about the class waiver's validity or the mass-filing procedures of 16.6, and (b) whether a claim falls within a carve-out.
16.8 Severability of this Section. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court, not in arbitration, and the rest of this Section remains in force. If any other part of this Section is unenforceable, it is severed and the remainder applies.
16.9 YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT. You may reject this arbitration agreement and class waiver, with no penalty and no effect on any other part of this Agreement, by emailing arbitration-optout@datingrealpeople.com (or writing to our mailing address in Section 21) within 30 days of first accepting this version of the Agreement, stating your name, account email, and "I opt out of arbitration." Opting out of this version also preserves any opt-out you made from a prior version.
16.10 Survival. This Section survives termination of your account or this Agreement.
17. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DatingRealPeople and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, demands, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your content; (c) your violation of this Agreement or of any law or third-party right; or (d) your interactions with any user, on or off the Service. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and it does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.
18. Governing Law & Venue
Except where the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 16, this Agreement and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts-of-law rules — except that if you are a consumer residing in another U.S. state or territory, you retain the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection laws of your home jurisdiction that cannot be displaced by a choice-of-law clause. Any claim that is not subject to arbitration and not brought in small claims court must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, or (for consumers, at your election) the federal or state court where you reside, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.
19. State & Territory Notices
19.1 California. Under Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, California users are entitled to know: the Service is provided by DatingRealPeople, Inc. (address in Section 21). Complaints may be directed to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite N-112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or (800) 952-5210. California's dating-service cancellation right is described in Section 12.5; California's arbitration opt-out and PAGA treatment are in Section 16.
19.2 New York. The disclosure required by N.Y. GBL § 394-c regarding criminal background screening appears in Section 3.1. The safety awareness notices required to be provided to members appear in-app and at datingrealpeople.com/safety.
19.3 New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas, and other Internet-dating-safety-act states. The no-background-check disclosure in Section 3.1 and the safety awareness notices in Section 3.3 and our Safety Tips are provided in compliance with those statutes. Nothing in this Agreement limits non-waivable rights under those laws.
19.4 U.S. territories. Consumers in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands retain all non-waivable protections of their local consumer laws; references to "state" in this Agreement include territories where context requires.
20. Miscellaneous
20.1 App-store terms. Your download is also governed by Apple's or Google's terms. Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement solely for the purpose of enforcing app-store-related provisions, and are not responsible for the Service, its content, or any claims relating to it.
20.2 Entire agreement. This Agreement (with the documents incorporated in Section 1.1) is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersedes all prior agreements on that subject.
20.3 Severability. If any provision is held invalid, it is enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder stays in effect (Section 16.8 governs severability within the arbitration Section).
20.4 No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
20.5 Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement. We may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
20.6 Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
20.7 No third-party beneficiaries except as stated in 20.1. Nothing in this Agreement creates any agency, partnership, employment, or fiduciary relationship, and no special relationship or duty of care is assumed toward you or any third party.
20.8 Notices to you may be given by email to your account address or in-app; notices to us go to the addresses in Section 21.
20.9 Export and sanctions. You may not use the Service in violation of U.S. export-control or sanctions laws.
