Terms of Service

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Rumors website and mobile application (together, the “Service”), provided by Rumors Dating Inc. (“Rumors,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who We Are

Rumors Dating Inc. is a Delaware corporation with a business address at 1151 Walker Rd Ste 100, PMB 613, Dover, DE 19904, United States. Rumors operates rumors.app and the Rumors mobile application for iOS and Android.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into these Terms to use the Service. Registration requires you to provide your date of birth, and our registration process includes a technical check designed to prevent someone whose stated date of birth indicates they are under 18 from completing registration or accessing dating features. By using the Service, you represent that the information you provide, including your date of birth, is truthful and accurate. An account belonging to, or used by, someone under 18 may be suspended or terminated. See our Child Safety page for more information.

4. Your Account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information on your profile and for keeping your account credentials confidential. Notify us promptly if you become aware of unauthorized use of your account.

Your Rumors account is personal to you. You agree not to sell, transfer or share access to your account, and not to create or use an account on behalf of someone else or to impersonate another person. Users generally may maintain only one personal Rumors account unless Rumors expressly permits otherwise.

Depending on the platform, you may create or sign in to your account using email, Sign in with Apple, or Google Sign-In. If phone verification is used for a feature, you agree to provide a phone number you control.

5. The Rumors Service

Rumors is an adult dating and social-discovery application. Current functionality may include creating a profile, browsing and discovering other users, receiving recommendations and matching assistance (including features assisted by automated or AI systems, described in Section 6), sending and receiving messages with other users, using optional verification features, and using reporting, blocking and other safety tools. Available features may vary by platform, region and over time, and Rumors does not guarantee that any particular feature will always be available.

Rumors facilitates discovery and communication between users. Rumors does not guarantee that you will be matched with any particular person, that any match will be compatible with you, or that any interaction facilitated through the Service will lead to a successful relationship. You are solely responsible for your decisions about whether and how to interact with other users.

6. AI-Assisted Features

The Service may use AI-assisted functionality to support features such as discovery, matching and recommendation assistance, and conversation assistance. Chat content is sent to an external AI provider only when you choose to use a specific feature that requires it; Rumors does not routinely route your private messages through an AI provider. Additional detail about how AI-assisted features process information is available in our Privacy Policy.

AI-assisted output — including recommendations, compatibility suggestions and conversation assistance — may be incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate for your situation, and you should use your own judgment before relying on it. AI-assisted features do not make legally or similarly significant decisions about you, do not guarantee compatibility or any outcome, and are not a substitute for professional, legal, medical or financial advice. You remain solely responsible for the messages and other content you choose to send, including any sent with the assistance of an AI-assisted feature.

7. User Content

“User Content” means profile information, photos and other media, messages, reports and any other material you submit to or through the Service. To the extent you hold rights in your User Content, you retain those rights.

By submitting User Content, you grant Rumors a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, display, process, transmit and moderate that content solely as necessary to provide, operate, secure, maintain and improve the Service in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy Policy. This license does not transfer ownership of your User Content to Rumors or authorize uses inconsistent with our Privacy Policy. This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for copies retained for a limited period as described in our Privacy Policy’s account-deletion and retention provisions, or as otherwise required by law.

You represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions in your User Content, that it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, that you will not upload another person’s intimate or private content without their authorization, and that your profile information is not deliberately deceptive.

8. Messaging, Reporting and Safety

Messages you send through the Service are intended for the recipient you choose. In the normal course of operating the Service, Rumors does not routinely review the content of private messages. If you or another user reports a message, conversation or account, the reported content may be reviewed by automated moderation systems or by authorized Rumors personnel to investigate the report and enforce these Terms and our Community Guidelines.

You can report or block another user, or use other in-app safety tools, at any time. Rumors does not guarantee the identity, intentions or background of any user, and any verification or safety feature is intended as an aid, not a guarantee of identity, safety or a person’s intentions. See our Safety Center and Community Guidelines for practical safety guidance.

9. Acceptable Use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

• harass, threaten, stalk or abuse another person;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity;
• engage in fraud, scams or other deceptive conduct;
• send spam or unsolicited commercial messages, or use bots or other automated means to access the Service;
• exploit, coerce or endanger another person, including content or conduct involving a minor;
• share non-consensual intimate content, or record, capture, distribute or publish another user’s private communications or personal content without authorization where doing so would violate privacy, law or these Terms;
• solicit or offer commercial sexual services, or engage in other illegal conduct;
• attempt to compromise the security of the Service, or scrape or extract data from the Service using automated means;
• use the Service for unauthorized commercial purposes; or
• sell, transfer or share your account.

Additional conduct standards are set out in our Community Guidelines, which form part of these Terms.

10. Verification and User Interactions

The Service may offer optional verification features intended as a safety and authenticity aid. Completing verification does not guarantee a user’s identity, background, intentions or safety, and Rumors does not conduct criminal background checks unless expressly stated otherwise. You are responsible for using your own judgment when interacting or communicating with, or deciding whether to meet, another user.

11. Paid Features and App-Store Purchases

Where paid features or subscriptions are offered, purchases made through the iOS or Android app are billed and processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, and are subject to that store’s terms. Rumors does not currently operate direct card processing or a Rumors-hosted payment checkout, and does not store your full payment card information.

Subscription billing, renewal, cancellation and refunds, where applicable, are governed by the applicable app store’s rules and by our Subscription & Refund Policy. Statutory consumer rights that cannot legally be limited remain unaffected.

12. Account Deletion

You can delete your account directly in the App through Settings → Account → Delete Account, or through our Delete Account page at rumors.app/support-delete-account.html if you no longer have the App installed. Deleting your Rumors account does not automatically cancel a subscription managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play; you must separately manage or cancel a store subscription through Apple or Google. You may delete your account immediately even if you have an active subscription. See our Privacy Policy for how account deletion affects your personal information.

13. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, software and underlying technology, is owned by Rumors Dating Inc. or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Rumors grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from any part of the Service, other than your own User Content, except as permitted by these Terms or applicable law.

14. Third-Party Services and App Stores

The Service may reference or link to third-party services, including Apple and Google. Rumors does not control, and is not responsible for, independent third-party services. Your use of the iOS or Android version of the App may also be subject to the applicable App Store or Google Play terms.

Apple. If you access the Service through an Apple device, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Rumors, not Apple, and Rumors — not Apple — is solely responsible for the Service and its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the Service. Your use of the App must comply with the applicable App Store Terms of Service. Where required by those terms, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of this section and may enforce it against you.

Google Play. Use of the Android version of the App may also be subject to Google Play’s terms. Google is not a contracting party to these Terms. Store billing, subscriptions and refunds for purchases made through Google Play remain subject to Google Play’s applicable rules.

15. Suspension and Termination

Rumors may warn, restrict features for, suspend or terminate an account for violations of these Terms or our Community Guidelines, safety threats, fraud, illegal conduct, an account belonging to or used by a minor, or other abuse of the Service, in a manner proportionate to the conduct involved. You may stop using the Service, or delete your account, at any time. Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot legally be limited under applicable law.

16. Service Changes

Rumors may add, modify, suspend or retire features of the Service from time to time. We do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available indefinitely. This section does not authorize changes that would unlawfully or retroactively alter entitlements you have already purchased, contrary to applicable law or app-store rules.

17. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Rumors does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that any user-provided information is accurate, or that you will be matched with, or have a successful interaction or relationship with, any other user. Interactions with other users involve your own judgment and carry inherent risk. Nothing in this section disclaims liability that cannot legally be disclaimed.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rumors Dating Inc. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under applicable law, including mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Rumors harmless from claims, damages and expenses arising from your violation of these Terms, your unlawful conduct, or User Content you submit that infringes the rights of a third party. This section does not apply to the extent a claim arises from Rumors’ own violation of law or these Terms.

20. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent mandatory consumer-protection laws of your jurisdiction apply and provide otherwise.

21. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited under applicable consumer-protection law, including rights that may apply to users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, certain US states, or in connection with app-store purchases.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date on this page. Where a change materially affects your rights and additional notice or consent is required by applicable law, we will provide that notice or obtain that consent.
