TERMS OF USE

LAST REVISED ON FEBRUARY 28, 2022

Welcome to Tinder, operated by Match Group, LLC (“us,” “we,” the “Company” or
“Tinder”). Together you and Tinder may be referred to as the “Parties” or
separately as “Party.”

Notice to California subscribers: You may cancel your subscription, without
penalty or obligation, at any time prior to midnight of the third business day
following the date you subscribed. If you subscribed using your Apple ID,
refunds are handled by Apple, not Tinder. If you wish to request a refund,
please visit https://getsupport.apple.com. If you subscribed using your Google
Play Store account or through Tinder Online, contact customer support


1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT.

By creating a Tinder account or by using any Tinder 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, Cookie
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 access or use the
Service.

PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS IN SECTION 15 BELOW.
THESE GOVERN THE MANNER IN WHICH CLAIMS WILL BE ADDRESSED BETWEEN YOU AND
TINDER. THESE PROVISIONS INCLUDE A MANDATORY PRE-ARBITRATION INFORMAL DISPUTE
RESOLUTION PROCESS, AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, SMALL CLAIMS COURT ELECTION, CLASS
ACTION WAIVER, ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR MASS ARBITRATION FILINGS, AND JURY
TRIAL WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS TYPICALLY LESS
DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.

We may make changes to this Agreement and to the Service from time to time. We
may do this for a variety of reasons including 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 also on gotinder.com, 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 to your rights or obligations, we will notify
you in advance of the changes (unless we’re unable to do so under applicable
law) 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 Tinder, 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 Tinder and use the
Service. By creating an account and using the Service, you represent and warrant
that:

 * you can form a binding contract with Tinder,
 * you are not a person who is barred from using the Service under the laws of
   the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction (for example, 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, including without limitation,
   privacy laws, intellectual property laws, anti-spam laws, and regulatory
   requirements,
 * you have not committed, been convicted of, or pled no contest to a felony, a
   sex crime, or any crime involving violence or a threat of violence, unless
   you have received clemency for a non-violent crime and we have determined
   that you are not likely to pose a threat to other users of our Service, and
   that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any state,
   federal or local sex offender registry,
 * you will use the latest version of the Service (via app or website),
 * you do not have more than one account on the Service, and
 * you have not previously been removed from the Service by us, unless you have
   our express written permission to create a new account.

If at any time you cease to meet these requirements, all authorization to access
our Service or systems is automatically revoked, and you must immediately delete
your account.


3. YOUR ACCOUNT.

In order to use Tinder, you may sign in using a number of ways, including by
telephone number, Apple login, or Facebook login. If you choose to use your
Facebook login, you authorize us to access and use certain Facebook account
information, including but not limited to your public Facebook profile. For more
information regarding the information we collect from you and how we use it,
please consult our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login
credentials you use to sign up for Tinder, 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.


4. MODIFYING THE SERVICE AND TERMINATION.

Tinder 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.

You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, by following the
instructions in “Settings” in the Service. However, if you use a third party
payment account such as Apple’s App Store or iTunes Store, as applicable or the
Google Play Store, you will need to manage in app purchases through such an
account to avoid additional billing.

Tinder may terminate your account at any time without notice if it believes that
you have violated this Agreement. Upon such termination, you will not be
entitled to any refund for purchases. After your account is terminated, this
Agreement will terminate, except that the following provisions will still apply
to you and Tinder: Section 4, Section 5, and Sections 12 through 19.


5. SAFETY; YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS.

You agree to treat other users in a courteous and respectful manner, both on and
off our Services and to be respectful when communicating with any of our
customer care representatives or other employees. Though Tinder 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, Tinder 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 Tinder’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.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS. YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT TINDER DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS
MEMBERS OR OTHERWISE INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF ITS MEMBERS. TINDER MAKES NO
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OR COMPATIBILITY OF MEMBERS.
TINDER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT – AND YOU AUTHORIZE TINDER 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 TINDER GRANTS YOU.

Tinder grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable,
non-exclusive, 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 Tinder and permitted by this Agreement. This
license and any authorization to access the Service are automatically revoked in
the event that you do any of the following:

 * use the Service or any content contained in the Service for any commercial
   purposes without our written consent.
 * copy, modify, transmit, create any derivative works from, make use of, or
   reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, images, trademarks, trade
   names, service marks, or other intellectual property, content or proprietary
   information accessible through the Service without Tinder’s prior written
   consent.
 * express or imply that any statements you make are endorsed by Tinder.
 * use any robot, bot, spider, crawler, scraper, site search/retrieval
   application, proxy or other manual or automatic device, method or process to
   access, retrieve, index, “data mine,” or in any way reproduce or circumvent
   the navigational structure or presentation of the Service or its contents.
 * use the Service in any way that could interfere with, disrupt or negatively
   affect the Service or the servers or networks connected to the Service.
 * upload viruses or other malicious code or otherwise compromise the security
   of the Service.
 * forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the
   origin of any information transmitted to or through the Service.
 * “frame” or “mirror” any part of the Service without Tinder’s prior written
   authorization.
 * use meta tags or code or other devices containing any reference to Tinder or
   the Service (or any trademark, trade name, service mark, logo or slogan of
   Tinder) to direct any person to any other website for any purpose.
 * modify, adapt, sublicense, translate, sell, reverse engineer, decipher,
   decompile or otherwise disassemble any portion of the Service, or cause
   others to do so.
 * use or develop any third-party applications that interact with the Service or
   other members’ Content or information without our written consent.
 * use, access, or publish the Tinder application programming interface without
   our written consent.
 * probe, scan or test the vulnerability of our Service or any system or
   network.
 * encourage, promote, or agree to engage in any activity that violates this
   Agreement.

Tinder may investigate and take any available legal action in response to
illegal and / or unauthorized uses of the Service, including termination of your
account.

Any software that we provide you may automatically download and install
upgrades, updates, or other new features. You may be able to adjust these
automatic downloads through your device’s settings.


7. RIGHTS YOU GRANT TINDER.

By creating an account, you grant to Tinder a worldwide, transferable,
sub-licensable, royalty-free, right and license to host, store, use, copy,
display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, modify, reformat, incorporate into
other works, advertise, distribute, and otherwise make available to the general
public information you authorize us to access from third parties such as
Facebook, Google, or Apple, 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”). Tinder’s license to your Content shall
be non-exclusive, except that Tinder’s license shall be exclusive with respect
to derivative works created through use of the Service. For example, Tinder
would have an exclusive license to screenshots of the Service that include your
Content. In addition, so that Tinder can prevent the use of your Content outside
of the Service, you authorize Tinder 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 Tinder members).

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

You understand and agree that we may monitor or review any Content you post as
part of the 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, harassing,
or offensive, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account.

In consideration for Tinder allowing you to use the Service, you agree that we,
our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on the
Service. By submitting suggestions or feedback to Tinder regarding our Service,
you agree that Tinder may use and share such feedback for any purpose without
compensating you.

You agree that Tinder may access, store, and disclose your account information
and Content if required to do so by law, by performing its agreement with you,
or in a good faith belief that such access, storage or disclosure satisfies a
legitimate interest, including to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce
the 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.


8. COMMUNITY RULES.

By using the Service, you agree that you will not:

 * use the Service for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited by this
   Agreement.
 * use the Service for any harmful or nefarious purpose.
 * use the Service in order to damage Tinder.
 * violate our Community Guidelines, as updated from time to time.
 * spam or solicit money or other items of value from another member, whether as
   a gift, loan, or other form of compensation, or otherwise defraud any
   members.
 * impersonate any person or entity or post any images of another person without
   his or her permission.
 * bully, “stalk,” intimidate, assault, harass, mistreat or defame, or otherwise
   mistreat any person.
 * post any Content that violates or infringes anyone’s rights, including rights
   of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property or
   contract right.
 * post any Content that is hate speech, threatening, sexually explicit or
   pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous
   violence.
 * post any Content that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of
   any kind against any group or individual.
 * solicit passwords for any purpose, or personal identifying information for
   commercial or unlawful purposes from other users or disseminate another
   person’s personal information without his or her permission.

   more than one account.
 * misrepresent your identity, age, current or previous positions,
   qualifications, or affiliations with a person or entity.
 * create another account if we have already terminated your account, unless you
   have our permission.

Tinder reserves the right to investigate and/or terminate your account without a
refund of any purchases if you have violated this Agreement, misused the Service
or behaved in a way that Tinder regards as inappropriate or unlawful, including
actions or communications that occur on or off the Service. In addition, in
certain instances, we may terminate your account for violating the applicable
terms of any of the Match Group family of businesses, which includes in addition
to Tinder, services such as Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Match,
BlackPeopleMeet, LoveScout24, OurTime, and others (for more details, click
here). In the event that you violate these rules or our Community Guidelines,
your authorization to use the Service will be automatically revoked.


9. OTHER MEMBERS’ CONTENT.

Although Tinder reserves the right to review and remove Content that violates
this Agreement, such Content is the sole responsibility of the member who posts
it, and Tinder cannot guarantee that all Content will comply with this
Agreement. If you see Content on the Service that violates this Agreement,
please report it within the Service or via our contact form.


10. PURCHASES.

Generally. From time to time, Tinder may offer products and services for
purchase (“in app purchases”) through the App Store, Google Play Store, carrier
billing, Tinder direct billing or other payment platforms authorized by Tinder.
If you choose to make an in app purchase, you will be prompted to confirm your
purchase with the applicable payment provider, and your method of payment (be it
your card or a third party account such as Google Play Store or the App Store)
(your “Payment Method”) will be charged for the in app purchase at the prices
displayed to you for the service(s) you’ve selected as well as any sales or
similar taxes that may be imposed on your payments, and you authorize Tinder or
the third party account, as applicable, to charge you.

Auto-Renewal. If you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription through an
in app purchase, your Payment Method will continue to be billed for the
subscription until you cancel. After your initial subscription commitment
period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription
will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price
you agreed to when subscribing. Your card payment information will be stored and
subsequently used for the automatic card payments in accordance with the
Agreement.

If you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to
change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your third
party account (or Settings on Tinder, if applicable) and follow the instructions
to terminate or cancel your subscription, even if you have otherwise deleted
your account with us or if you have deleted the Tinder application from your
device. Deleting your account on Tinder or deleting the Tinder application from
your device does not terminate or cancel your subscription; Tinder will retain
all funds charged to your Payment Method until you terminate or cancel your
subscription on Tinder or the third party account, as applicable. If you
terminate or cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the
end of your then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be
renewed after your then-current term expires.

Additional Terms that apply if you pay Tinder directly with your Payment Method.
If you pay Tinder directly, Tinder may correct any billing errors or mistakes
that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If you
initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment
Method, Tinder may terminate your account immediately in its sole discretion.

You may edit your Payment Method information by visiting Tinder and going to
Settings. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration,
insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method
information, terminate or cancel your subscription, you remain responsible for
any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method,
as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates.
In addition, you authorize us to obtain updated or replacement expiration dates
and card numbers for your credit or debit card as provided by your credit or
debit card issuer. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment
Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial
institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method.
If you reside outside of the Americas, you agree that your payment to Tinder
will be through MTCH Technology Services Limited.

Virtual Items. From time to time, you may be able to purchase, earn, or be
granted a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable
license to use “virtual items,” which could include virtual products or virtual
“coins” or other units that are exchangeable within the Service for virtual
products (collectively, “Virtual Items”). Any Virtual Item balance shown in your
account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value,
but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. Virtual
Items do not incur fees for non-use, however, the license granted to you in
Virtual Items will terminate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
when Tinder ceases providing the Service, or your account is otherwise closed or
terminated. Tinder, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to charge fees
for the right to access or use Virtual Items and may distribute Virtual Items
with or without charge. Tinder may manage, regulate, control, modify or
eliminate Virtual Items at any time. Tinder shall have no liability to you or
any third party in the event that Tinder exercises any such rights. Virtual
Items may only be redeemed through the Service. ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF
VIRTUAL ITEMS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. The
provision of Virtual Items for use in the Service is a service that commences
immediately upon the acceptance of your purchase of such Virtual Items. YOU
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TINDER IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND IN RESPECT OF
VIRTUAL ITEMS FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER
COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH
CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

Refunds. Generally, all charges for purchases are nonrefundable, and there are
no refunds or credits for partially used periods. We may make an exception if a
refund for a subscription offering is requested within fourteen days of the
transaction date, or if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for
refunds.

For subscribers residing in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, the
terms below apply:

You may cancel your subscription, without penalty or obligation, at any time
prior to midnight of the third business day following the date you subscribed.
In the event that you die before the end of your subscription period, your
estate shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made
for your subscription, which is allocable to the period after your death. In the
event that you become disabled (such that you are unable to use the services of
Tinder) before the end of your subscription period, you shall be entitled to a
refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription, which
is allocable to the period after your disability by providing the company notice
in the same manner as you request a refund as described below. Purchases of
Virtual Items are FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

To request a refund:

If you made a purchase using your Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple, not
Tinder. To request a refund, go to the App Store, click on your Apple ID, select
“Purchase history,” find the transaction and hit “Report Problem”. You can also
submit a request at https://getsupport.apple.com.

If you subscribed using your Google Play Store account or through Tinder
directly: please contact customer support with your order number for the Google
Play Store (you can find the order number in the order confirmation email or by
logging in to Google Wallet) or Tinder (you can find this on your confirmation
email). You may also mail or deliver a signed and dated notice which states that
you, the buyer, are canceling this Agreement, or words of similar effect. Please
also include the email address or mobile number associated with your account
along with your order number. This notice shall be sent to: Tinder, Attn:
Cancellations, P.O. Box 25472, Dallas, Texas 75225, USA (in addition, Ohio
members may send a facsimile to 214-853-4309).

Pricing Tinder operates a global business, and our pricing varies by a number of
factors. We frequently offer promotional rates - which can vary based on region,
length of subscription, bundle size and more. We also regularly test new
features and payment options.


11. NOTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Service in a way
that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a takedown request using
the form here.

If you contact us regarding alleged copyright infringement, please be sure to
include the following information:

 * an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf
   of the owner of the copyright interest;
 * a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
 * a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located
   on the Service (and such description must be reasonably sufficient to enable
   us to find the alleged infringing material);
 * your contact information, including address, telephone number and email
   address, and the copyright owner’s identity;
 * a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the
   disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
   and
 * a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information
   in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized
   to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Tinder will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.


12. DISCLAIMERS.

TINDER PROVIDES THE SERVICE ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTS NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER
EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE (INCLUDING
ALL CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. TINDER DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT (A) THE
SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR FREE, (B) ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS
IN THE SERVICE WILL BE DISCOVERED OR CORRECTED, OR (C) THAT ANY CONTENT OR
INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, OR
APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR PURPOSES.

TINDER ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONTENT THAT YOU OR ANOTHER MEMBER OR
THIRD PARTY POSTS, SENDS OR RECEIVES THROUGH THE SERVICE. ANY MATERIAL
DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT
YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.

TINDER DISCLAIMS AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONDUCT OF YOU OR ANY
OTHER MEMBER, ON OR OFF THE SERVICE.


13. THIRD PARTY SERVICES.

The Service may contain advertisements and promotions offered by third parties
and links to other web sites or resources. Tinder is not responsible for the
availability (or lack of availability) of such external websites or resources.
If you choose to interact with the third parties made available through our
Service, such party’s terms will govern their relationship with you. Tinder is
not responsible or liable for such third parties’ terms or actions.


14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TINDER, ITS
AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, FIXED, OR
ENHANCED DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER
INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER
INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO
ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (II) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY MEMBERS OR THIRD
PARTIES ON OR THROUGH ANY OF OUR WEBSITES OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE; OR
(III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT, EVEN IF TINDER
HAS BEEN ADVISED AT ANY TIME OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TINDER’S AGGREGATE
LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE
SERVICE OR THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO TINDER
DURING THE TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE THAT YOU
FIRST FILE A LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST TINDER,
WHETHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN ANY TRIBUNAL. THE DAMAGES LIMITATION SET FORTH
IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE APPLIES (i) REGARDLESS OF THE GROUND UPON
WHICH LIABILITY IS BASED (WHETHER DEFAULT, CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR
OTHERWISE), (ii) IRRESPECTIVE OF THE TYPE OF BREACH OF OBLIGATIONS, AND (iii)
WITH RESPECT TO ALL EVENTS, THE SERVICE, AND THIS AGREEMENT.

EVEN IF YOUR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FAIL WITH RESPECT TO THEIR ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES,
SO SOME OR ALL OF THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU.


15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION

In the unlikely event that we have a legal dispute, here is how the Parties
agree to proceed, except where prohibited by applicable law.

Any Subsection in this Dispute Resolution Section that is prohibited by law
shall not apply to the users residing in that jurisdiction.

15a. INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

If you are dissatisfied with our Service for any reason, please contact Tinder
Customer Service first so we can try to resolve your concerns without the need
of outside assistance. If you choose to pursue a dispute, claim or controversy
against Tinder, these terms will apply. For purposes of this Dispute Resolution
Process and Arbitration Procedures set forth in Section 15, “Tinder” shall
include our affiliates, employees, licensors, and service providers.

Tinder values its relationship with you and appreciates the mutual benefit
realized from informally resolving Disputes (as defined below). Before formally
pursuing a Dispute in arbitration or small claims court, you agree to first send
a detailed notice (“Notice”) to Match Group Legal, P.O. Box 25458, Dallas, Texas
75225, USA. If Tinder has a Dispute with you, Tinder agrees to first send a
Notice to you at your most recent email address on file with us, or, if no email
address is on file, other contact information associated with your account. Your
Notice must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name; (2)
information that enables Tinder to identify your account, including a picture or
screenshot of your profile, your address, mobile phone number, email address,
and date of birth you used to register your account if any; and (3) a detailed
description of your Dispute, including the nature and factual basis of your
claim(s) and the relief you are seeking with a corresponding calculation of your
alleged damages (if any). You must personally sign this Notice for it to be
effective. Tinder’s Notice must likewise set forth a detailed description of its
Dispute, which shall include the nature and factual basis of its claim(s) and
the relief it is seeking, with a corresponding calculation of our damages (if
any). You and Tinder agree to then negotiate in good faith in an effort to
resolve the Dispute. As part of these good faith negotiations, if Tinder
requests a telephone conference with you to discuss your Dispute, you agree to
personally participate, with your attorney if you’re represented by counsel.
Likewise, if you request a telephone conference to discuss Tinder’s Dispute with
you, Tinder agrees to have one representative participate. This informal process
should lead to a resolution of the Dispute. However, if the Dispute is not
resolved within 60 days after receipt of a fully completed Notice and the
Parties have not otherwise mutually agreed to an extension of this informal
dispute resolution time period, you or Tinder may initiate an arbitration
(subject to a Party’s right to elect small claims court as provided below).

Completion of this informal dispute resolution is a condition precedent to
filing any demand for arbitration or small claims court action. Failure to do so
is a breach of this Agreement. The statute of limitations and any filing fee
deadlines will be tolled while you and Tinder engage in this informal dispute
resolution process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration
provider, National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), shall not accept or
administer any demand for arbitration and shall administratively close any
arbitration unless the Party bringing such demand for arbitration can certify in
writing that the terms and conditions of this informal dispute resolution
process were fully satisfied. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have
authority to enforce this provision and to enjoin any arbitration proceeding or
small claims court action.

15b. INDIVIDUAL RELIEF: CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, YOU AND TINDER EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A
JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT IN FAVOR OF INDIVIDUAL
ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED ABOVE). YOU AND TINDER
EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER
OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS, INCLUDING ANY CURRENTLY PENDING
ACTIONS AGAINST TINDER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, THERE SHALL BE
NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS,
COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. THE
ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME RELIEF AVAILABLE IN COURT PROVIDED THAT THE
ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD FINAL RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE OR DECLARATORY
RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT
NECESSARY TO PROVIDE FINAL RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM.
THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD FINAL RELIEF FOR, AGAINST, OR ON BEHALF OF ANYONE
WHO IS NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT ANY OF THESE
PROHIBITIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR
REQUEST FOR RELIEF (SUCH AS A REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), AND ALL
APPEALS OF THAT DECISION ARE EXHAUSTED OR THE DECISION IS OTHERWISE FINAL, THEN
YOU AND TINDER AGREE THAT THAT PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF SHALL
PROCEED IN COURT BUT SHALL BE STAYED PENDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF THE
REMAINING CLAIMS FOR RELIEF THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT. IF THIS SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH IS
FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION
(EXCEPT FOR THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS)
SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT.

15c. DISPUTE RESOLUTION THROUGH ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT

Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Tinder (that is not resolved
informally by Tinder Customer Service or as provided under subsection 15a above)
that arises from or relates in any way to this Agreement (including any alleged
breach of this Agreement), the Service, or our relationship with you
(collectively, “Dispute”), shall be exclusively resolved through BINDING
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION except as specifically provided otherwise in this Dispute
Resolution Section. “Dispute” as used in this Agreement shall have the broadest
possible meaning and include claims that arose before the existence of this or
any prior Agreement and claims that arise during the term of this Agreement or
after the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either
you or Tinder may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court.
If the request to proceed in small claims court is made after an arbitration has
been initiated but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration
shall be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s
jurisdiction shall be determined by the small claims court. All other issues
(except as otherwise provided herein) are exclusively for the Arbitrator to
decide, including but not limited to scope and enforceability of this Dispute
Resolution Section, as well as any request to proceed in small claims court that
is made after an arbitrator has been appointed. If you or Tinder challenges the
small claims court election in your Dispute, and a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the small claims court election is unenforceable,
then such election shall be severed from this Agreement as to your Dispute.
However, such court determination shall not be considered or deemed binding with
respect to Tinder’s other contracting parties.

Any court proceeding to enforce this Dispute Resolution Section 15, including
any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, must be
commenced in accordance with Section 17. In the event Dispute Resolution Section
15 is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Tinder
(except for small claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or
state courts located in Dallas County, Texas. You hereby irrevocably consent to
those courts’ exercise of personal jurisdiction over you for such purposes and
waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.

15d. INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND MASS ARBITRATION PROTOCOLS

This subsection 15d applies to Disputes that are submitted to NAM after fully
completing the informal Notice and Dispute resolution process described in
subsection 15a above and when no small claims court election is made by either
Party. Any arbitration between you and Tinder shall be administered by NAM in
accordance with NAM’s operative Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and
Procedures (the “NAM Rules”) in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is
filed with NAM, as modified by this Dispute Resolution Section 15. For a copy of
the NAM Rules, please visit https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms or
contact NAM’s National Processing Center at 990 Stewart Avenue, 1st Floor,
Garden City, NY 11530 and email address commercial@namadr.com. If NAM is unable
or unwilling to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Parties shall
mutually agree on an alternative administrator that will replace NAM and assume
NAM’s role consistent with this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree,
they will petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an administrator
that will assume NAM’s duties under this Agreement.

The Parties agree that the following procedures will apply to any Arbitrations
initiated under this Dispute Resolution Section:

 1.  Commencing an Arbitration – To initiate an arbitration, you or Tinder shall
     send to NAM a demand for arbitration (“Demand for Arbitration”) that
     describes the claim(s) and request for relief in detail, consistent with
     the requirements in this Agreement and NAM Rules. If you send a Demand for
     Arbitration, you shall also send it to Tinder at Match Group Legal, P.O.
     Box 25458, Dallas, Texas 75225, USA, within 10 days of delivery of the
     Demand for Arbitration to NAM. If Tinder sends a Demand for Arbitration, we
     will also send it to your mailing address on file with us within the same
     10-day period. If your mailing address is unavailable, we will send it to
     your email address on file, or if no email address is on file, other
     contact information associated with your account. The arbitration provider
     shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration and shall
     administratively close any such demand for arbitration that fails to
     certify in writing that the Party meets the requirements of Dispute
     Resolution Section 15 or if either Party elects small claims court as set
     forth above.
 2.  Fees – The payment of all fees shall be governed by the NAM Rules, except
     to the extent that the case is a part of a Mass Filing (as defined below)
     or the NAM fees and costs (including Arbitrator fees) paid by either Party
     are reallocated upon order of the Arbitrator following a determination that
     (a) either Party breached Section 15 of this Agreement, (b) such
     reallocation is called for under this Agreement, or (c) reallocation is
     otherwise permitted under applicable law. Upon a showing to Tinder of your
     financial hardship we will consider a good faith request made by you to pay
     your portion of the applicable consumer portion of the filing fee. Tinder
     is committed to ensuring that arbitration costs to consumers do not serve
     as a barrier to the adjudication of disputes. If Tinder initiates an
     arbitration against you, we shall pay all fees.
 3.  The Arbitrator – The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral
     arbitrator (the “Claim Arbitrator”), as assisted by any Process Arbitrator
     appointed under NAM Rules. (The term “Arbitrator” applies to both the Claim
     Arbitrator and the Process Arbitrator). If a hearing is elected by either
     Party, the Arbitrator shall be in or close to the location in which you
     reside. The Arbitrator is bound by and shall adhere to this Agreement. In
     the event NAM Rules conflict with this Agreement, the terms of this
     Agreement shall control. If the Arbitrator determines that strict
     application of any term of Section 15 of this Agreement (except for the
     small claims election, which shall be determined by the small claims court)
     would result in a fundamentally unfair arbitration (the “Unfair Term”),
     then the Arbitrator shall have authority to modify the Unfair Term to the
     extent necessary to ensure a fundamentally fair arbitration that is
     consistent with the Agreement (the “Modified Term”). In determining the
     substance of a Modified Term, the Arbitrator shall select a term that comes
     closest to expressing the intention of the Unfair Term.
 4.  Dispositive Motions – The Parties agree that the Claim Arbitrator shall
     have the authority to consider dispositive motions without an oral
     evidentiary hearing. Dispositive motions may be requested under the
     following circumstances: (a) within 30 days after the Claim Arbitrator’s
     appointment, a Party may request to file a dispositive motion based upon
     the pleadings; and (b) no later than 30 days prior to the evidentiary
     hearing, a Party may request to file a dispositive motion for summary
     judgment based upon the Parties’ pleadings and the evidence submitted.
 5.  Discovery – Each Party may (a) serve up to five requests for relevant,
     non-privileged documents from the other Party; and (b) request that the
     other Party provide verified responses to no more than 5 relevant
     interrogatories (including subparts). Unless both Parties agree otherwise,
     no other forms of discovery (including depositions) may be utilized. Any
     such discovery requests must be served on the other Party within 21 days
     after the Claim Arbitrator’s appointment. The responding Party shall
     provide the requesting Party with all responsive, non-privileged documents,
     responses signed by the Party themselves to the requested interrogatories,
     and/or any objections to the requests within 30 days after receipt of the
     requests, or, in the event of an objection to any discovery request, 30
     days after the Claim Arbitrator resolves the dispute. In the event either
     Party requests that the Claim Arbitrator consider a dispositive motion on
     the pleadings, such written discovery response deadlines shall be extended
     until 30 days following the Claim Arbitrator’s final decision on such
     dispositive motion. Any disputes about discovery or requests for extensions
     shall be submitted promptly to the Claim Arbitrator for resolution. In
     ruling on any discovery dispute or extension request, the Claim Arbitrator
     shall take into consideration the nature, amount, and scope of the
     underlying arbitration claim, the cost and other effort that would be
     involved in providing the requested discovery, the case schedule, and
     whether the requested discovery is necessary for the adequate preparation
     of a claim or defense.
 6.  Confidentiality – Upon either Party’s request, the Arbitrator will issue an
     order requiring that confidential information of either Party disclosed
     during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or
     disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to
     enforce the arbitration award and that any permitted court filing of
     confidential information must be done under seal.
 7.  Arbitration Hearing – You and Tinder are entitled to a fair evidentiary
     hearing (i.e. trial) before the Claim Arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings
     are usually simpler, less costly, and more streamlined than trials and
     other judicial proceedings. The Parties agree to waive all oral hearings
     and instead submit all disputes to the Claim Arbitrator for an award based
     on written submissions and other evidence as the Parties may agree, unless
     a Party requests an oral hearing within 10 days after the Respondent files
     a response. If an oral evidentiary hearing is requested, both Parties must
     be personally present at the hearing, regardless of whether either Party
     has retained counsel. Both Parties must personally attend the hearing.
     Either Party’s failure to personally attend the hearing, without a
     continuance ordered by the Claim Arbitrator for good cause, will result in
     a default judgment taken against that Party.
 8.  Arbitration Award – Regardless of the format of the arbitration, the Claim
     Arbitrator shall provide a reasoned decision, in writing within 30 days
     after the hearing or, if no hearing is held, within 30 days after any
     rebuttal or supplemental statements are due. The decision must clearly
     specify the relief, if any, awarded and contain a brief statement of the
     reasons for the award. The arbitration award is binding only between you
     and Tinder and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration
     or proceeding that involves a different Party. The Claim Arbitrator may,
     however, choose to consider rulings from other arbitrations involving a
     different Party. The Arbitrator may award fees and costs as provided by the
     NAM Rules or to the extent such fees and costs could be awarded in court.
     This includes but is not limited to the ability of the Arbitrator to award
     fees and costs if the Arbitrator determines that a claim or defense is
     frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose, for the purpose of
     harassment, or in bad faith.
 9.  Offer of Settlement – The Respondent may, but is not obligated to, make a
     written settlement offer to the opposing Party any time before the
     evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to the
     dispositive motion being granted. The amount or terms of any settlement
     offer may not be disclosed to the Claim Arbitrator until after the Claim
     Arbitrator issues an award on the claim. If the award is issued in the
     opposing Party’s favor and is less than the Respondent’s settlement offer
     or if the award is in the Respondent’s favor, the opposing Party must pay
     the Respondent’s costs incurred after the offer was made, including any
     attorney’s fees. If any applicable statute or caselaw prohibits the
     flipping of costs incurred in the arbitration, then the offer in this
     provision shall serve to cease the accumulation of any costs that claimant
     may be entitled to for the cause of action under which it is suing.

 10. Mass Filing – If, at any time, 25 or more similar demands for arbitration
     are asserted against Tinder or related parties by the same or coordinated
     counsel or entities (“Mass Filing”), consistent with the definition and
     criteria of Mass Filings set forth in the NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental
     Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules”,
     available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), the
     additional protocols set forth below shall apply.
     
     * i. If you or your counsel file a Demand for Arbitration that fits within
       the definition of Mass Filing referred to above, then you agree that your
       Demand for Arbitration shall be subject to the additional protocols set
       forth in this Mass Filing subsection. You also acknowledge that the
       adjudication of your Dispute might be delayed and that any applicable
       statute of limitations shall be tolled from the time at which the first
       cases are chosen to proceed until your case is chosen for a bellwether
       proceeding.
     * ii. NAM’s Mass Filing Rules shall apply if your Dispute is deemed by NAM,
       in its sole discretion pursuant to its Rules and this Dispute Resolution
       Section, to be part of a Mass Filing. Such election for NAM’s Mass Filing
       Rules and related fee schedule must be made by either you or Tinder in
       writing and submitted to NAM and all Parties.
     * iii. Bellwether Proceedings. Bellwether proceedings are encouraged by
       courts and arbitration administrators when there are multiple disputes
       involving similar claims against the same or related parties. Counsel for
       the Mass Filings claimants (including you) and counsel for Tinder shall
       each select 15 Demands for Arbitration (30 total), and no more than 30
       arbitrations shall be filed, processed, adjudicated, or pending at the
       same time, with each of the 30 individual arbitrations presided over by a
       different Claim Arbitrator, in a first set of bellwether proceedings.
       During this time, no other Demands for arbitration that are part of the
       Mass Filings may be filed, processed, adjudicated, or pending. If the
       Parties are unable to resolve the remaining Demands for Arbitration after
       the first set of bellwether proceedings are arbitrated or otherwise
       resolved, then counsel for the Claimants and counsel for Tinder shall
       each select an additional 15 Demands for Arbitration (30) total to be
       filed, processed, and adjudicated as individual arbitrations, with each
       of the 30 arbitrations presided over by a different Claim Arbitrator, in
       a second set of bellwether proceedings. During this time, no other
       Demands for Arbitration that are part of the Mass Filings may be filed,
       processed, or adjudicated. This staged process of bellwether proceedings,
       with each set including 30 Demands for Arbitration adjudicated on an
       individual basis, shall continue until each Demand included in the Mass
       Filings (including your Demand for Arbitration) is adjudicated or
       otherwise resolved. Fees associated with a Demand for Arbitration
       included in the Mass Filings, including fees owed by Tinder and the
       claimants (including you), shall only be due after your Demand for
       Arbitration is chosen as part of a set of bellwether proceedings and
       therefore properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication.
       Any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled beginning when you
       initiate the informal dispute resolution process set forth in subsection
       15a of the Agreement, and if the first Mass Filings’ Demands for
       Arbitration are chosen for the initial set of bellwether proceedings have
       been filed, your claims will remain tolled until your Demand for
       Arbitration is decided, withdrawn, or is settled. A court of competent
       jurisdiction located in a venue allowed under Section 17 of the Agreement
       shall have the power to enforce this subsection.
     * iv. You and Tinder agree that we each value the integrity and efficiency
       of the arbitration and small claims court process and wish to employ the
       process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between
       us. You and Tinder acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure
       the fair resolution of genuine and sincere Disputes. The Parties further
       agree that application of these Mass Filings procedures have been
       reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of
       such cases.

15e. FUTURE CHANGES AND RETROACTIVE APPLICATION

This Dispute Resolution Section 15 applies to all Disputes between the Parties,
including for any claims that accrued against you or Tinder prior to the time of
your consent to this Agreement and to any claims that accrue against you or
Tinder after your consent to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, you may elect to opt out of the retroactive
application of this Dispute Resolution Section 15 as to claims that have accrued
against you or against Tinder prior to the time of your consent to this
Agreement. You may opt out by sending us written notice, within 30 days of the
time you consent to this Agreement, to the following email address:

directed to customer support. You must include information sufficient to
identify your account(s), such as the email address or phone number associated
with your account(s), and should include a statement that you are opting out of
the retroactive application of this Dispute Resolution Section 15. Please note:
if you opt out of the retroactive application of this Dispute Resolution Section
15, you will still be subject to and bound by any Dispute Resolution Sections
and Arbitration Procedures you previously agreed to, including any arbitration
provisions, class action waivers, and retroactive application sections. Also,
regardless of whether you opt out of the retroactive application of these
changes, the Parties will resolve any claims that accrue against you or Tinder
after your consent to this Agreement in accordance with this Dispute Resolution
Section.


16. GOVERNING LAW.

Texas law and the Federal Arbitration Act will apply to any Dispute (except
where prohibited by law).

To the fullest extent allowable by law, the laws of Texas, U.S.A., without
regard to its conflict of laws rules, shall apply to any Dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, the Service, or your relationship with Tinder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dispute Resolution Process set forth in
Section 15 above shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.


17. VENUE/FORUM SELECTION.

To the fullest extent allowable by law, any claims that are not arbitrated for
any reason must be litigated in Dallas County, Texas (except for claims filed in
small claims court).

Except where prohibited by law and except for claims that are heard in a small
claims court as set forth in Section 15, any claims arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, to the Service, or to your relationship with Tinder that for
whatever reason are not required to be arbitrated or filed in small claims
court, will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts located in
Dallas County, Texas, U.S.A. You and Tinder consent to the exercise of personal
jurisdiction of courts in the State of Texas and waive any claim that such
courts constitute an inconvenient forum.


18. INDEMNITY BY YOU.

You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Tinder, our affiliates, and their and our respective officers,
directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all complaints,
demands, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses, including
attorney’s fees, due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to your access
to or use of the Service, your Content, or your breach of this Agreement.


19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; OTHER.

This Agreement, which includes the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Safety Tips,
Community Guidelines, and any terms disclosed to you if you purchase or have
purchased additional features, products or services we offer on the Service,
contains the entire agreement between you and Tinder regarding your relationship
with Tinder and the use of the Service, with the following exception: anyone who
opted out of the retroactive application of Section 15 is still subject to and
bound by any prior agreements to arbitrate with Tinder as well as this agreement
to arbitrate on a going forward basis. If any provision of this Agreement is
held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect. The failure of Tinder to exercise or enforce any right or provision of
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You
agree that your Tinder account is non-transferable and all of your rights to
your account and its Content terminate upon your death. No agency, partnership,
joint venture, fiduciary or other special relationship or employment is created
as a result of this Agreement and you may not make any representations on behalf
of or bind Tinder in any manner.
