Welcome to Date The Real Me. These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding contract between you and DRM Global, Inc. ("Date The Real Me", "we", "us", "our") and govern your access to and use of the Date The Real Me mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
IMPORTANT — DISPUTE RESOLUTION: Section 17 contains a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect your rights. Please read it carefully.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have not been convicted of a felony or indictable offense (or crime of similar severity), or any sex crime, and you are not required to register as a sex offender with any government entity.
- You are not legally prohibited from using the Service in your jurisdiction.
- You will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.
- You have never been removed from the Service by us or any of our affiliates, unless you have our express written permission to create a new account.
2. Your Account
2.1 Account Creation
To use the Service you must create an account by providing the information we require (which may include contact and identification details and at least one photograph of yourself) and completing any verification steps we prompt you to complete.
2.2 One Account Per Person
You may create and maintain only one (1) Date The Real Me account at a time. We reserve the right to deactivate or remove duplicate accounts.
2.3 Account Security
You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and your device. You must immediately notify us at support@datetherealme.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, except to the extent caused by our failure to maintain reasonable security.
2.4 Accurate Information
All information you provide must be true, accurate, current, and complete. You may not impersonate any other person, misrepresent your age, gender, identity, photographs, or any other material fact, or use another person's photographs without authorisation.
3. Identity Verification (Required)
Trust is core to the Service. As part of account onboarding and as a condition of continued access to most features, we require every user to complete identity verification. Verification is conducted using a combination of automated and, where appropriate, manual checks. We may also re-verify accounts at our discretion. To preserve the integrity of our trust-and-safety systems, we do not publish how our checks work. Failure to verify, or submission of fraudulent verification material, may result in suspension or termination of your account. See our Privacy Policy for how verification information is handled.
4. License to Use the Service
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us. You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or sublicense any portion of the Service.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Service except as permitted by applicable law.
- Use the Service or any data obtained through it for any commercial purpose, including advertising, recruiting, market research, or scraping profile content.
- Use any robot, spider, scraper, automated query tool, or other automated means to access, collect, or extract data from the Service.

5. User Conduct
You agree that you will not, while using the Service:

- Solicit, request, transmit, or share sexually explicit, sexualised, or pornographic content of yourself or any other person, including any content depicting minors. Sexual content involving anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and applicable law enforcement.
- Solicit money, gifts, financial information, or any other thing of value from any user, or send or accept any of the foregoing from any user.

We reserve the right (but are not obligated) to investigate any suspected violation, remove offending content, suspend or terminate offending accounts, and refer violations to law enforcement.
6. Content You Provide
6.1 Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for any content (including photographs, video, audio, text, and metadata) you upload to or transmit through the Service ("User Content"). You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and consents to upload your User Content and to grant us the license described below.
6.2 License to Us
You grant DRM Global, Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, copy, modify (e.g. for resizing, format conversion, watermarking, or thumbnail generation), display, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, marketing, and improving the Service. This license terminates when your User Content is deleted from the Service, except as needed for our legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention, legal compliance, and backups), as described in our Privacy Policy.
6.3 Moderation
We use a combination of automated tools and human reviewers to moderate User Content. We may remove, blur, edit, or refuse to publish any User Content that we believe violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate, in our sole discretion and without notice. We do not disclose the specific tools, classifiers, or rules we apply, because doing so would aid evasion. Decisions are not always perfect; if we remove content in error, please contact support@datetherealme.com.
6.4 Feedback
If you submit suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate such feedback without any compensation to you.
7. Subscriptions, In-App Purchases, and Refunds
7.1 Subscription Tiers
The Service offers a free tier and one or more paid subscription tiers (currently Date The Real Me Plus and Date The Real Me Gold) that unlock additional features. The features, prices, and durations of each tier are described in the Service and may change from time to time.
7.2 Purchases Through Apple App Store / Google Play
All paid subscriptions and consumable in-app purchases are processed exclusively through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. By purchasing, you agree to the applicable platform's terms in addition to these Terms. Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or Google Play Terms of Service apply.
7.3 Auto-Renewal
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Your payment method (as recorded with Apple or Google) will be charged for the renewal. You can manage and cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings, not through us — we have no ability to modify, refund, or cancel platform-billed transactions on your behalf.
7.4 Free Trials
If a free trial is offered and you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically begin and your payment method will be charged. Eligibility for free trials is determined by Apple or Google.
7.5 Refunds
Except where required by applicable consumer-protection law (including, without limitation, EU/UK consumer rights, certain U.S. state laws, and Quebec consumer law), all purchases are final and non-refundable. Refund requests are handled by the platform that processed the transaction (Apple or Google). We do not separately process refunds for subscription or in-app purchases.
7.6 Consumable Items
In-app consumable items have no monetary value, are non-transferable, do not earn interest, and expire on the schedule disclosed in the Service or, where no schedule is disclosed, when your account is closed. Unused consumables are forfeited if your account is terminated for cause.
7.7 Price Changes
We may change subscription prices at any time. Price changes for existing subscribers will take effect no earlier than the renewal that follows our notice to you (typically delivered via email and in-app notification at least 30 days in advance, unless platform requirements differ).
8. Advertising
The Service does not currently show third-party advertising in the app, on the free tier or on any paid tier. If we introduce advertising in the future, we will update these Terms and tell you before it starts. We do not control third-party advertisers and are not responsible for the content of their advertisements.
9. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers to deliver core functionality. We do not list specific vendors here — both because the supplier set may change over time and because publishing the list could assist circumvention of our trust-and-safety controls. The Service uses providers in categories such as: cloud hosting and storage; communications; identity verification, content moderation, and fraud prevention; real-time messaging and video infrastructure; mapping and location services; and the Apple App Store and Google Play for app distribution and in-app purchases. Your use of any third-party service may be subject to its own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the conduct of third parties and make no representations or warranties about their products or services. A more detailed description is available on request to legal@datetherealme.com.
10. Safety; No Background Checks; Personal Responsibility
YOU MUST USE COMMON SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS. Although the Service requires identity verification, we do not perform criminal background checks, credit checks, or other formal vetting on any user. We make no representations or warranties about the conduct, character, history, or honesty of any user.
- You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users — both online and in person.
- Meet in public, well-lit places. Tell a friend or family member where you are going. Do not share your home address or financial information with people you have just met.
- Never send money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or any other thing of value to another user, no matter how convincing the story. If a user requests this, report them.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels off, end the conversation, block the user, and report them through the in-app reporting tools.
For more dating-safety tips, see our in-app Safety Center and Help & Support pages.
11. Reporting and Enforcement
If you encounter a user violating these Terms, you can block or report them through the in-app tools, or email support@datetherealme.com for emergencies, ongoing harassment, suspected fraud, or content involving minors. We review reports promptly and may take action up to and including permanent termination. We may also share information with law enforcement when required by law or where we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to prevent harm. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between users.
12. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we determine in our reasonable judgment that you have violated these Terms; that your conduct poses a risk of harm to other users, to us, or to third parties; that you have provided materially false information; that your account has been inactive for an extended period; or for any other lawful business reason. You may delete your account at any time through the Passport tab > Delete Account in the app or by emailing support@datetherealme.com.
Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately, your User Content may be deleted (subject to the retention provisions in our Privacy Policy), and you forfeit any unused in-app consumables. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 6.2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. To the extent any such exclusion or limitation is not enforceable in your jurisdiction, our liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DRM Global, Inc., its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Service; (ii) your User Content; (iii) your violation of these Terms; (iv) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party (including any other user); or (v) any dispute between you and another user.

17. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
17.1 Informal Resolution
Before filing any claim, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@datetherealme.com. We will attempt to resolve the dispute promptly. If we cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days, either party may initiate arbitration as set out below.
17.2 Binding Arbitration
You and DRM Global, Inc. agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if eligible. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, in the English language, in Wilmington, Delaware (or another mutually agreed location, or by video conference if you reside outside Delaware). The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
17.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND DRM GLOBAL, INC. EACH AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
17.4 30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver by emailing legal@datetherealme.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and stating your name, the email address associated with your account, and your intent to opt out. Opting out will not affect the rest of these Terms.
17.5 Exceptions
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights pending the completion of arbitration.
18. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 17, all disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and you and DRM Global, Inc. consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. If you reside in a jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws give you the benefit of a different governing law or venue, those mandatory provisions will continue to apply.
19. Apple App Store; Google Play; Platform-Specific Terms
If you accessed or downloaded the Service from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:
- These Terms are between you and DRM Global, Inc. only — not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
- The license granted to you for the iOS app is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Service on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple App Store's "Usage Rules" in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service.
- If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession or use of the Service.
- If a third party claims that the Service infringes another party's intellectual-property rights, DRM Global, Inc., not Apple, is solely responsible.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S.-government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting" and that you are not on any U.S.-government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and on your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
20. Modifications to the Service or Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be available in the Service. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email at least seven (7) days before they take effect.

- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

- Notices. We may give notices to you by email, by SMS, by in-app notification, or by posting in the Service. You must give notices to us at legal@datetherealme.com.
