Welcome to notadate. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the notadate mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"), operated by notadate ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use notadate. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Account Registration

To use notadate, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and complete information during registration.

• All activity that occurs under your account.
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

You may not create multiple accounts, use another person's account, or transfer your account to another person.

3. Acceptable Use

notadate is designed exclusively for platonic friendships and social meetups. By using the Service, you agree to the following:

3.1 Platonic Intent

notadate is not a dating platform. All interactions must be platonic in nature. Using the Service to pursue romantic or sexual relationships is a violation of these Terms and may result in account termination.

3.2 Prohibited Conduct

You agree NOT to:

• Harass, bully, intimidate, or threaten other users.
• Post content that is hateful, discriminatory, obscene, or sexually explicit.
• Use the Service for commercial solicitation, advertising, or spam.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
• Share another user's personal information (including their exact location) without consent.
• Use automated systems, bots, or scrapers to access the Service.
• Attempt to circumvent safety features, content moderation, or account restrictions.
• Engage in any illegal activity through the Service.
• Create proposals or attend meetups with the intent to recruit, sell, or solicit.

3.3 Community Guidelines

All users are expected to treat others with respect and good faith. notadate is built on the principle that genuine friendships require a safe and welcoming environment. We reserve the right to remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate the spirit of our community, even if the specific behavior is not explicitly listed above.

4. Content

4.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create and share through the Service, including profile information, photos, activity proposals, and messages ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you grant notadate a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.

4.2 Content Moderation

We use a combination of AI-powered systems and human review to moderate content on the Service. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or our community guidelines, at our sole discretion. Content moderation decisions are final.

4.3 Reporting

If you encounter content or behavior that violates these Terms, you can report it through the in-app reporting feature or by contacting us at safety@notadate.app. We investigate all reports and take appropriate action.

5. Safety and Privacy

Your safety is a priority. notadate includes several built-in safety features:

• Location stays fuzzy (neighborhood-level) until both users mutually confirm a meetup.
• Photo verification helps ensure users are who they say they are.
• Block and report functionality is available for all users.
• AI-powered content moderation monitors conversations for safety.

However, notadate cannot guarantee the identity, background, or intentions of any user. You are responsible for your own safety when meeting someone in person. We recommend meeting in public places and informing someone you trust about your plans.

For details on how we handle your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

6. Account Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• Violation of these Terms or community guidelines.
• Fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity.
• Reports of harassment or unsafe behavior from other users.
• Extended periods of inactivity.

You may delete your account at any time through the app settings. Upon deletion, your personal data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
