Terms of Service

Effective date: to be set at publication

1. Agreement and operator

These Terms govern your use of DateBot’s app, website, and related services, operated by James Edwards, an individual operating DateBot (“DateBot,” “we,” “us”).

By accepting these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. Acceptance of these Terms does not replace any separate permission required for personal-data processing.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter this agreement to use DateBot.

Provide accurate account information, keep your sign-in credentials secure, and notify datebotapp@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account.

3. What DateBot provides

DateBot uses AI to help interpret dating and relationship situations and suggest possible next steps. Its responses may include advice, questions, suggested wording, or a recommendation to wait or take no action.

AI can misunderstand context, generate inaccurate information, or provide inconsistent answers. Responses are not verified facts about another person’s intentions, feelings, or consent. Use your own judgment and respect other people’s boundaries.

DateBot does not guarantee matches, dates, relationships, or any particular outcome. It is not a licensed professional service or an emergency service. If you face an immediate danger, contact appropriate local emergency services.

4. Your content and permissions

As between you and DateBot, you retain your existing rights in messages, uploads, and other content you submit. You do not acquire rights in someone else’s content merely by uploading it.

You grant DateBot a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to host, store, reproduce, process, transform, and analyze your submitted content to provide, secure, maintain, evaluate, and improve DateBot as described in the Privacy Policy. This includes extracting information, creating evaluation examples, testing system versions, and developing, training, or fine-tuning models used for DateBot, subject to applicable law and any required permissions or choices.

We may allow service providers acting on our behalf to exercise these permissions only as needed for those purposes and subject to applicable restrictions. This permission does not authorize public marketing use of your private conversations or override privacy rights, deletion obligations, or consent requirements.

The duration and handling of retained copies are governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law; this is not an unrestricted perpetual license to retain identifiable content.

Only submit content you are entitled to provide and authorize us to process. Respect other people’s privacy and intellectual-property rights. Do not submit unnecessary intimate images or unlawful material.

5. Outputs and feedback

You may use DateBot’s responses for lawful personal purposes, subject to these Terms and any rights of others. AI outputs may not be unique or eligible for intellectual-property protection. Review suggested wording before sending it.

You may provide product suggestions, corrections, ratings, or outcome feedback. We may use these to operate and improve DateBot without an obligation to compensate you. Personal information and conversation content included in feedback remain subject to the Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable use

Do not use DateBot to:

• Harass, stalk, threaten, exploit, impersonate, or coerce others.
• Facilitate abuse, nonconsensual sexual activity, sexual exploitation of minors, or unlawful disclosure of intimate material.
• Violate privacy, intellectual-property, or other legal rights.
• Access another user’s account or data without authorization.
• Bypass payment, security, or usage controls; introduce malicious code; or disrupt the service.
• Extract the service at scale or use automated access without authorization, except where applicable law permits.

We may restrict use that violates these Terms or creates a material security or safety risk.

7. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Some features require a paid subscription. The purchase screen identifies the price, billing period, included access, applicable limits, and any trial terms before you purchase.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled under the purchase terms shown by the applicable store. For purchases through Apple, payment, renewal, and subscription management are handled through your Apple account under Apple’s applicable terms.

You can manage or cancel an Apple subscription in your Apple account’s subscription settings. Cancellation generally stops future renewal; access ordinarily continues through the paid period, subject to the applicable purchase terms.

If a trial is offered, the purchase screen explains its duration, eligibility, when charges begin, and how to avoid renewal.

Deleting the app or your DateBot account does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription. You must cancel it through Apple.

Refunds for Apple purchases are handled through Apple’s refund process and applicable law. Nothing here excludes statutory refund or consumer rights.

Price changes will be communicated and implemented in accordance with applicable law and store requirements. We do not promise unlimited usage unless the purchase terms explicitly say so.

8. Our service and intellectual property

DateBot and its licensors retain rights in the app, software, branding, and other service materials, excluding your content and others’ rights. We grant you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable permission to use the service in accordance with these Terms.

9. Changes, availability, and termination

We may update features and apply reasonable limits to maintain the service. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Material changes to paid access will be handled consistently with applicable law and purchase terms.

You may stop using DateBot and request account deletion. We may suspend or terminate access for material violations, legal requirements, fraud, or security threats, providing notice and an opportunity to address the issue when reasonably appropriate.

Contact datebotapp@gmail.com if you believe a restriction was made in error. Termination does not remove applicable consumer rights or our privacy obligations.

10. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or noninfringement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes guarantees or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Responsibility and liability

You remain responsible for decisions you make and messages you send using DateBot’s suggestions.

To the extent permitted by law, DateBot is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service. This does not exclude liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

12. Governing law and disputes

Please contact datebotapp@gmail.com first so we can try to resolve a concern.

Applicable mandatory consumer rights, including any right to bring a claim in your home jurisdiction, remain unaffected.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms and will give notice of material changes as required by law. We will request renewed acceptance where required. A Terms update does not by itself authorize new uses of previously collected personal information.

14. General provisions and contact

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. We may transfer this agreement in connection with a lawful business transfer, subject to applicable consumer and privacy protections.
