Welcome to 35dates. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and TalentWave IT Inc. ("35dates," "we," "us"). By creating an account, joining the waitlist, buying credits, or attending an event, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
1. What 35dates is
35dates organizes live speed-dating events — virtual video/audio nights and in-person nights at partner venues. We provide the platform, scheduling, rotation, voting, matching, and related features (including an AI-powered second-date concierge). We are an introduction platform, not a matchmaker, chaperone, or guarantor of any outcome.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts.
- You must not have been convicted of a sexual offence or violent crime, and must not be required to register as a sex offender in any jurisdiction.
- One account per person; your account is for your personal, non-commercial use and may not be shared or transferred.
- All information you provide (including your birthdate and profile) must be true and kept current. Misrepresenting your identity or age is grounds for immediate termination without refund.
3. Your safety — read this section carefully
We do not conduct criminal background checks or comprehensive identity screening on members. Verification badges, where offered, are limited checks and are not a guarantee of anyone's identity, character, or intentions. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members, online and offline. Use judgment: meet in public places, tell a friend where you're going, arrange your own transportation, and never send money to anyone you meet through the service. If you feel unsafe at an event, tell the host or leave; in an emergency, call 911.
4. Credits and payments
- Events are paid for with credits. Credit purchases are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card details.
- Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and cannot be redeemed for money. Credits do not expire.
- Automatic re-credits: if an event is cancelled by us, you sit out a round because of an odd-numbered room, or your scheduled partner fails to appear, the applicable credits are returned to your account automatically.
- Otherwise, credit purchases are final. If you cancel an event registration more than 24 hours before start time, your credits are returned; later cancellations and no-shows forfeit the event's credits.
- Prices may change; founder pricing is honoured for accounts that qualified for it, per the offer terms.
- Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable refund rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.
5. Code of conduct
35dates works because people behave like decent humans. You agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, stalk, demean, or discriminate against any member, host, or venue staff;
- Record, screenshot, photograph, or livestream other participants or dates without their explicit consent;
- Use the service while your judgment is impaired, or arrive at events intoxicated;
- Solicit money, sell products or services, promote other platforms, or use the service for any commercial purpose;
- Create fake profiles, use another person's photos, or misstate your age, identity, or intentions;
- Attempt to bypass safety features, scrape data, reverse-engineer the platform, or interfere with events;
- Contact members outside the platform against their wishes, or attempt to identify or locate a member who has not matched with you.
We may investigate reports, remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, ban attendees from events, and involve law enforcement where appropriate — at our discretion and, in serious cases, without warning or refund.
6. Events and venues
- In-person events take place at independent partner venues. Venues are not our agents; their house rules apply, and purchases you make there (drinks, food) are between you and the venue.
- Event formats, timing, pairings, and capacity are set by us and may change. We aim for balanced rooms but cannot guarantee any particular number of dates, demographic mix, or attendee.
- Match results are revealed only after an event ends. Your individual votes are never shown to other members.
7. AI features
Our concierge and similar features use artificial intelligence to generate suggestions (venues, times, conversation openers). Suggestions are automated recommendations, not endorsements — verify details (hours, location, prices) before relying on them. Nothing is booked or shared with a match unless both people approve it. AI outputs may occasionally be inaccurate; use your own judgment.
8. Your content
You keep ownership of the content you provide (photos, bio, messages). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and process that content solely to operate and improve the service. We may remove content that violates these Terms. Don't upload content you don't have the right to use.
9. Our property
The 35dates name, logo, site, software, event formats, and all related materials are our property or licensed to us. You may not copy, modify, or exploit them without written permission.
10. Termination
You can delete your account at any time in settings or by writing to us; unused purchased credits at deletion are handled per section 4. We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms, suspected fraud, safety concerns, or legal requirements. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 3, 8–14) survive.
11. Disclaimers
The service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that you will receive matches, dates, compatibility, or relationships; that events will run uninterrupted or error-free; or that members' statements about themselves are accurate.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) we are not liable for the conduct of any member, host, or venue, online or offline, including at or after events; (b) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of data, opportunity, or goodwill.
13. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and any legal costs arising out of your content, your conduct at or outside events, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of New Brunswick and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the service evolves at any time. For material changes we will try to give notice (e.g., email or in-app) before they take effect but we cannot guarantee this; the "Effective date" above always shows the current version. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.
