Terms of Use

Last Revised: March 25, 2022

​

Welcome to SwoonMe, operated by DalyByte Inc. (“us,” “we,” the “Company” or “SwoonMe”).

​

1. Acceptance of Terms of Use Agreement.

By creating a SwoonMe account or by using any SwoonMe service, whether through a mobile device, mobile application or computer (collectively, the “Service”) you agree to be bound by (i) these Terms of Use, (ii) our Privacy Policy, Safety Tips, and Community Guidelines, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement, and (iii) any terms disclosed to you if you purchase or have purchased additional features, products or services we offer on the Service (collectively, this “Agreement”). If you do not accept and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, you should not use the Service.

We may make changes to this Agreement and to the Service from time to time. We may do this for a variety of reasons such as to reflect changes in or requirements of the law, new features, or changes in business practices. The most recent version of this Agreement will be posted on the Service under Settings and you should regularly check for the most recent version. The most recent version is the version that applies. If the changes include material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will notify you of the changes in advance by reasonable means, which could include notification through the Service or via email. If you continue to use the Service after the changes become effective, then you agree to the revised Agreement. You agree that this Agreement shall supersede any prior agreements (except as specifically stated herein), and shall govern your entire relationship with SwoonMe, including but not limited to events, agreements, and conduct preceding your acceptance of this Agreement.

​

2. Eligibility.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on SwoonMe and use the Service. By creating an account and using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

  • you can form a binding contract with SwoonMe,

  • you are not a person who is barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction–meaning that you do not appear on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or face any other similar prohibition,

  • you will comply with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national and international laws, rules and regulations, and

  • you have never been convicted of or pled no contest to a felony, a sex crime, or any crime involving violence, and that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any state, federal or local sex offender registry.

 

3. Your Account.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials you use to sign up for SwoonMe, and you are solely responsible for all activities that occur under those credentials. If you think someone has gained access to your account, please immediately contact us at customerservice@swoonmedating.com.

​

4. Modifying the Service and Termination.

SwoonMe is always striving to improve the Service and bring you additional functionality that you will find engaging and useful. This means we may add new product features or enhancements from time to time as well as remove some features, and if these actions do not materially affect your rights or obligations, we may not provide you with notice before taking them. We may even suspend the Service entirely, in which event we will notify you in advance unless extenuating circumstances, such as safety or security concerns, prevent us from doing so.

Reach out to SwoonMe’s customer service care team to fully delete your profile as outlined in the Privacy Policy.

SwoonMe may terminate your account at any time without notice if it believes that you have violated this Agreement. After your account is terminated, this Agreement will terminate, except that the following provisions will still apply to you and SwoonMe: Section 4, Section 5, and Sections 12 through 19.

​

5. Safety; Your Interactions with Other Members.

Though SwoonMe strives to encourage a respectful member experience through features like the double opt-in that allows members to communicate only after they have both indicated interest in one another, it is not responsible for the conduct of any member on or off of the Service. You agree to use caution in all interactions with other members, particularly if you decide to communicate off the Service or meet in person. In addition, you agree to review and follow SwoonMe’s Safety Tips prior to using the Service. You agree that you will not provide your financial information (for example, your credit card or bank account information), or wire or otherwise send money, to other members.

If any other member sends you inappropriate messages, engages in harassment or makes you feel unsafe, you can report them to us and we’ll take immediate strict action on the reported profiles. You can also e-mail us if you have any issues, and we’ll look into the issue at the earliest. 

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SWOONME DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS MEMBERS OR OTHERWISE INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF ITS MEMBERS. SWOONME MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF MEMBERS. SWOONME RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT – AND YOU AUTHORIZE SWOONME TO CONDUCT – ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES) AT ANY TIME USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS OBTAINED BY IT OR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY, AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

​

6. Rights SwoonMe Grants You.

SwoonMe grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, nonexclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service. This license is for the sole purpose of letting you use and enjoy the Service’s benefits as intended by SwoonMe and permitted by this Agreement. Therefore, you agree not to:

7. Rights you Grant SwoonMe.

By creating an account, you grant to SwoonMe a worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, right and license to host, store, use, copy, display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, modify and distribute information you authorize us to access, as well as any information you post, upload, display or otherwise make available (collectively, “post”) on the Service or transmit to other members (collectively, “Content”). SwoonMe’s license to your Content shall be non-exclusive, except that SwoonMe’s license shall be exclusive with respect to derivative works created through use of the Service. For example, SwoonMe would have an exclusive license to screenshots of the Service that include your Content. In addition, so that SwoonMe can prevent the use of your Content outside of the Service, you authorize SwoonMe to act on your behalf with respect to infringing uses of your Content taken from the Service by other members or third parties. This expressly includes the authority, but not the obligation, to send notices pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) (i.e., DMCA Takedown Notices) on your behalf if your Content is taken and used by third parties outside of the Service. Our license to your Content is subject to your rights under applicable law (for example laws regarding personal data protection to the extent any Content contains personal information as defined by those laws) and is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, and improving the Service and researching and developing new ones. You agree that any Content you place or that you authorize us to place on the Service may be viewed by other members and may be viewed by any person visiting or participating in the Service (such as individuals who may receive shared Content from other SwoonMe members).

You agree that all information that you submit upon creation of your account is accurate and truthful and you have the right to post the Content on the Service and grant the license to SwoonMe above.

You understand and agree that we may monitor or review any Content you post as part of a Service. We may delete any Content, in whole or in part, that in our sole judgment violates this Agreement or may harm the reputation of the Service.

When communicating with our customer care representatives, you agree to be respectful and kind. If we feel that your behavior towards any of our customer care representatives or other employees is at any time threatening or offensive, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account.

By submitting suggestions or feedback to SwoonMe regarding our Service, you agree that SwoonMe may use and share such feedback for any purpose without compensating you.

You agree that SwoonMe may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary, such as to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce this Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of the Company or any other person.
