Terms of Use

1. About the Service

Modern Matchmaker is a relationship and matchmaking platform operated by DRMA Tech (Delivering Reliable Modern Apps Tech OÜ), a company registered in Estonia. The platform helps people discover potential partners through personal profiles, preferences, and compatibility-based recommendations.

You may create a profile, provide information about yourself and the kind of relationship you are looking for, review compatible profiles, and interact with other users through the features available to your account. The service is intended for personal use to help users build meaningful connections.

2. Eligibility, Accounts, and Verification

You must be at least 18 years old, or older if the minimum age required by the laws of your location is higher. By registering, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your profile up to date. Do not impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, age, relationship intentions, or other material information. Accounts are personal, and you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

Identity verification is required before users can initiate or receive interactions. Verification may be performed by an independent provider, such as Didit, and may involve official identity documents and a liveness check. Verification requirements and procedures may change to meet security needs and applicable law. Verification confirms only the checks performed and does not guarantee a user's intentions, conduct, or safety.

We may refuse registration or request additional information or verification when reasonably necessary to protect users, the platform, or our legal interests.

3. Profiles and User Content

You are responsible for the information and materials you submit, upload, or share, including photographs, biographies, preferences, and other profile details ("User Content"). You must have the rights and permissions needed to provide them and must not submit information that is false or misleading.

You retain the rights you hold in your User Content. You grant DRMA Tech a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt as technically necessary, and display it only as needed to operate, secure, and provide the platform, including showing your profile to other users. This license ends when the content is deleted or your account is closed, except for backups, legal retention, or content already shared or accessed by others.

Profiles and other content may be viewed, saved, or shared by people who can access them. We cannot control what other users do with information they have legitimately accessed. Do not publish private or sensitive information that you do not want other users to see.

4. Compatibility, Recommendations, and Interactions

The platform uses information and preferences provided by users to identify compatibility and recommend people who may be well suited to one another. Compatibility assessments may consider factors such as values, personality, lifestyle, interests, and relationship goals. Keep your profile and preferences accurate to help make recommendations more relevant.

Compatibility results and recommendations are intended to support your discovery of potential partners and help you make informed decisions. They are based on the information available to the platform and cannot account for every aspect of a person or predict with certainty how a relationship will develop. A recommendation is an introduction opportunity, not a guarantee of mutual interest or a particular outcome.

Some interactions may be available only to users with an eligible paid membership, sufficient Sparks, or completed verification, as indicated in the platform. Interactions are voluntary. You decide whether to respond, continue a conversation, share information, or meet another user.

5. Acceptable Use and User Conduct

You may use the service only for lawful, personal purposes consistent with its matchmaking functions. You must not:

• Harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, exploit, discriminate against, or abuse another person.
• Commit fraud, impersonate someone, deceive users, or facilitate illegal activity.
• Publish unlawful, hateful, violent, threatening, defamatory, sexually exploitative, or infringing content.
• Offer, request, or accept money, gifts, financial assistance, or services from other users in exchange for interactions or attention.
• Use profiles or user information for advertising, spam, recruitment, solicitation, surveillance, or unrelated commercial purposes.
• Scrape, harvest, copy, or systematically extract profiles, photographs, or other platform data without our permission or a right granted by law.
• Use bots or automated tools to create accounts, contact users, or access the service in an abusive or unauthorized way.
• Bypass verification, payment requirements, access controls, usage limits, or other technical safeguards.
• Interfere with the service's security or operation, attempt unauthorized access, or introduce malicious code.

Respect other users' boundaries and stop contacting anyone who asks you to do so. We may investigate suspected violations and take action under these Terms.

6. Safety, Reporting, and Moderation

Communications, relationships, and meetings between users are voluntary. The platform does not supervise private conversations or in-person meetings and is not a party to arrangements between users. We do not conduct criminal background checks or guarantee a user's identity, honesty, intentions, or behavior.

Use caution when sharing personal information or arranging to meet. Consider meeting in a public place, arranging your own transportation, and telling someone you trust about your plans. Never send money or financial information to someone you have met through the platform. If you believe you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

The platform may provide tools to block users, report profiles or behavior, and record the date and approximate location of a planned meeting. Where a user chooses to provide a contact's email address and consent to sharing, planned-meeting information may be sent to that contact. These tools are optional safety aids, not emergency services or active monitoring. The platform does not track or intervene in meetings.

We may review reports using automated tools and human moderation. Depending on the circumstances, we may remove content, restrict features, request verification, issue warnings, or suspend or terminate accounts. We do not guarantee that every report will result in a particular action or be resolved within a specific timeframe. We may disclose or preserve information when required by valid legal process or otherwise permitted by law.

7. Sparks, Memberships, and Payments

Some platform features may be free, while interactions and additional tools may require Sparks, a paid membership, or another purchase. The applicable price, currency, features, billing period, and payment conditions will be shown before you confirm a purchase. Offers and availability may vary by country, platform, and provider.

Sparks are virtual credits used only for designated platform features. They have no cash value, cannot be transferred or redeemed for money, and are not refundable except where stated at purchase or required by law. Their permitted uses and any applicable limits will be shown in the platform.

Payments may be processed by third-party providers or app stores and may be subject to their terms. If a subscription renews automatically, its renewal terms will be disclosed at purchase. You must cancel through the service or the provider or platform used for the purchase, as applicable. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription or stop future billing.

Refunds and billing disputes are subject to the terms shown at purchase, the policies of the provider that processed the transaction, and your mandatory rights under applicable law.

8. Privacy and Personal Data

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how and why we use it, with whom it may be shared, how long it is retained, and how you may exercise your rights.

Information in profiles and compatibility preferences may include personal or sensitive information. Provide only information you are comfortable sharing and ensure that any information you submit about another person is lawful. Verification data may be processed by third-party providers as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may preserve or disclose information in response to valid legal requests or when otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.

9. Third-Party Services

The platform may rely on third parties for services such as identity verification, payment processing, hosting, storage, location features, analytics, communications, and security. These providers operate independently and may have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for services operated by third parties, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

10. Intellectual Property

The platform's name, branding, logos, original text, design, interface, and other materials are owned by or licensed to DRMA Tech and protected by intellectual property laws. Third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.

Some software components may be made available under open-source licenses, including the Mozilla Public License 2.0 where identified in the applicable notices or repositories. Those licenses apply only to the components they cover and do not automatically grant rights to the platform's branding or other materials.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the platform for its intended purposes.

11. Service Availability and Changes

We aim to keep the platform available, but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or universal availability. Some features depend on third-party systems and services outside our control.

We may add, change, restrict, suspend, or discontinue features or parts of the service. We will provide notice of material changes where required by law.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the platform is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that user-provided information, profiles, compatibility results, recommendations, or verification information will always be accurate, complete, or current.

Our goal is to help users discover compatible potential partners. However, we cannot guarantee mutual interest, a response, a meeting, or a particular relationship outcome. Users are responsible for their own decisions and interactions. Nothing in these Terms excludes consumer rights or other protections that cannot legally be excluded.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DRMA Tech is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or data arising from your use of or inability to use the platform.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the conduct or content of users, or for disputes, losses, or injuries arising from communications, relationships, or meetings between users. This does not exclude responsibility for our own acts or omissions where such exclusion is prohibited by law.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including mandatory consumer rights, fraud, or intentional misconduct.

14. Suspension, Termination, and Account Deletion

You may stop using the platform and request account deletion at any time through the available account or privacy tools, or by contacting support. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription or stop future billing; cancel it separately through the relevant provider or platform.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access if we reasonably believe you breached these Terms, created a risk to users or the platform, engaged in fraud, or used the service unlawfully or harmfully. Where appropriate and legally required, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including those concerning User Content, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, and disputes, will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for losses and reasonable costs arising from third-party claims caused by your unlawful use of the platform, material breach of these Terms, or User Content that infringes another person's rights. This does not make you responsible for our own acts or omissions where the law prohibits it.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the platform, our operations, or applicable law. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated date. We will provide additional notice of material changes where reasonably practicable or legally required.

Changes take effect on the stated date or, if none is stated, when published. Where affirmative acceptance is required by law, we will request it. If you disagree with the updated Terms, stop using the platform.

17. Governing Law and General Provisions

These Terms are governed by Estonian law, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence. Subject to mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules, disputes will be submitted to the competent courts of Estonia. Nothing here removes rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.

If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, conflict, government action, infrastructure failures, or widespread third-party outages.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer these Terms as part of a merger, restructuring, or transfer of the platform, without reducing your mandatory legal rights.
