Welcome to 1stdateclub, a premium matchmaking platform connecting discerning individuals seeking meaningful relationships. By registering, accessing, or using the Service (including our website, app, or matchmaking consultations), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and any additional guidelines or rules posted on our site. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms form a legally binding contract between you ("User," "Member," or "Client") and 1stdateclub LLC. ("we," "us," or "our"). We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, with changes effective upon posting. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify you of material updates via email or in-app notification.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 21 years old to use the Service.
- You represent that you are single, seeking a genuine relationship, and not in any committed partnership. Providing false information may result in immediate termination.
- By registering, you consent to background checks (e.g., criminal records, where legally permissible) to ensure a safe environment. These checks are not foolproof and do not guarantee safety. We are not liable for any interactions or outcomes from matches.
3. Registration and Account
- To become a Member, you must create an account with accurate, up-to-date information, including a personal profile (photos, bio, preferences). Profiles are generated content and must comply with our Community Guidelines (no misleading, offensive, or illegal material).
- You agree to keep your login credentials confidential. We are not responsible for unauthorized access.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations, including spam, harassment, or misuse of matches' information.
4. Services Provided
- Matchmaking: We curate personalized introductions based on your profile, preferences, and feedback from prior dates. Matches may include in-person, virtual, or group events. We aim for quality over quantity but make no guarantees of success, number of matches, or compatibility.
- Additional Features: May include date planning, coaching, or events, as specified in your membership package.
- Confidentiality: All member information, matches, and interactions are confidential. You agree not to share, solicit, or use others' details for unlawful purposes (e.g., stalking, scams). Breaches may lead to termination and legal action.
- We screen matches (e.g., video verification, basic checks), but you are responsible for your safety during interactions. Follow our Dating Safety Guidelines.
5. Membership and Payments

- Billing: Payments via credit card or authorized methods. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled. You authorize recurring charges.
- Taxes: You are responsible for applicable taxes.
- No Refunds (General): Fees are non-refundable except as required by law (e.g., California's 3-day cooling-off period for subscriptions).
6. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities
- You agree to:
- Be honest and respectful in interactions.
- Report unsafe behavior immediately.
- Not harass, defraud, or exploit matches.
- Prohibited: Sharing explicit content, soliciting money, or using the Service for commercial purposes. Violations may result in bans without refund.

- Do not copy, modify, or distribute our materials without permission.
8. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
- No Guarantees: We do not warrant successful matches, relationships, or safety. Matchmaking involves human factors beyond our control.
- As-Is Basis: The Service is provided "as is." We disclaim all warranties, express or implied.
- Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (e.g., emotional distress, lost opportunities). Total liability shall not exceed fees paid in the prior 12 months.
