Terms
Terms of Service.
These terms set out the agreement between you and DelbarMe Ltd. They cover what we promise, what we ask of you, and what happens if something goes wrong. They are written in plain language. Where a technical or legal term is used, it means what it normally means.
§ 01 — Who can use DelbarMe
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must not be legally prohibited from using online dating services.
- You must not have been convicted of, or be required to register for, a serious offence affecting the safety of others.
- You must not have had a prior DelbarMe account terminated for a breach of these terms.
By creating an account you confirm all of the above.
§ 02 — Your account
Your account is personal. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for everything that happens on your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
You agree that the information you provide — name, age, photos, values, intent — is accurate and represents you honestly.
§ 03 — Content & conduct
You own the content you post. By posting it you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and moderate that content on the service, for as long as your account exists.
You agree to treat other members with respect. Specifically:
- Be honest in your profile, your intent, and your conversations.
- Use recent photos that clearly show your face.
- Do not pretend to be someone else.
- Do not harass, intimidate, or abuse anyone, on or off the app.
- Do not share private messages or photos from other members without consent.
§ 04 — Photo & identity verification
To protect members, every profile is photo-verified before it is shown to others. You consent to a short selfie video being compared against your photos. The video is deleted within 30 days. We keep only the verification status.
We may ask for additional verification — for example, if a profile is reported or behaves suspiciously.
§ 05 — Prohibited behaviour
On DelbarMe you must not:
- Use the service if you are under 18.
- Ask for, or send, money, gifts, or financial help.
- Promote other services, brands, or commercial offers.
- Post nudity, sexual content, violence, or hateful content.
- Post content that discriminates based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, or any protected characteristic.
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) on the service.
- Attempt to circumvent security or moderation systems.
- Use the service for any unlawful purpose.
§ 06 — Reporting & safety
If something feels wrong, please tell us. Every profile has a Report and a Block button. Reports are reviewed by our Trust & Safety team within 24 hours, sooner for urgent matters. Serious concerns can be raised directly at safety@delbarme.com.
Meeting someone in person is at your own discretion. We recommend meeting in a public place, telling a friend, and trusting your instincts.
§ 08 — Intellectual property
The DelbarMe name, logo, app, and website are owned by DelbarMe Ltd. You may not copy, modify, or reuse them without our written permission. User content belongs to its creator.
§ 09 — Suspension & termination
You can close your account at any time, from your profile settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms or the spirit of them — dishonesty, harassment, or conduct that puts other members at risk.
We will tell you if we suspend your account, and why, unless doing so would compromise an investigation or the safety of others.
§ 10 — Disclaimers
DelbarMe is a platform that helps people meet. We cannot guarantee you will find a partner. We verify profiles with care, but we cannot guarantee the truthfulness of every member. Use judgement, meet in public, and take care of yourself.
The service is provided "as is". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We will do our honest best.
§ 11 — Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death, personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Otherwise, our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of: (a) the amount you paid us in that period, or (b) £100.
We are not liable for the behaviour of other members, whether on or off the platform.
§ 12 — Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except that if you are a consumer resident in another country, your mandatory local consumer-protection rights still apply.
§ 13 — Changes to these terms
We will update these terms from time to time. For material changes, we will tell you in the app and by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of DelbarMe after the changes take effect means you accept them.
§ 14 — Contact
