Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-08-30

These Terms are the agreement between you and ASL Dating LLC for your use of the ASL Dating app. Read them in full. Section 15 sends most disputes to individual arbitration instead of court, and Section 15e tells you how to opt out of that within 30 days.

COLORADO — C.R.S. § 6-1-731(3)(B)(II)

SEE THE ATTACHED NOTICE OF CANCELLATION FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS RIGHT.

Section 8b sets out how to cancel, what is refunded and when. Wisconsin prescribes a fifth statement, which appears in Section 8j under the heading that statute requires.

⚠️ Not every state counts the three days the same way. Find your state below — and if it is not listed, the general right in Section 8b still applies to you.

Whichever of these gives you the longest window is the one that applies.

1. Introduction

These Terms are the agreement between you and ASL Dating LLC. Using the app means accepting them, and we will tell you before they change in a way that matters.

ASL Dating is a dating app built for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and ASL community. By creating an account, tapping to accept, or using any part of the app, you agree to these Terms, to the Privacy Policy, and to the Community Guidelines. Those three documents work together; where this one refers to "the Service", it means the app and everything in it.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not create an account and do not use the Service.

These Terms can change. Where a change is material, you will be asked inside the app to accept the updated version before you carry on using the Service, and the date you accepted is recorded against your account. Advance notice is given where applicable law requires it. A change applies going forward only — it does not reach back to a dispute that had already arisen before it took effect.

If you do not agree to a change, you may decline it and delete your account. That is the exit, and it is always open to you. Deleting the account does not by itself cancel a subscription — see Section 8.

2. Who can use ASL Dating, and what you agree to

You must be 18 or over, and the things you tell us about yourself have to be true.

2a. Eligibility

To hold an account, all of the following must be true of you:

Eligibility may be checked at any time, and an account that does not meet these conditions may be suspended or closed.

2b. Your responsibilities

2c. Conduct that is not allowed

Doing any of the following may end your access immediately, and may be referred to law enforcement:

2d. Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users

ASL Dating has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Objectionable content and behavior include sexual or explicit material, harassment, bullying, threats or violence, hate speech or discrimination, content involving or sexualizing minors, scams and fraud, fake, spam, and bot accounts, and the other conduct prohibited in Section 2c.

None of the following belongs anywhere on the Service — not in a profile, a photo, an intro video, a chat message, or a video message:

Content of these kinds may be removed, and content that is unlawful anywhere the Service is offered may be removed even where it is lawful where you are.

3. Content

What you post is yours, and you are responsible for it. Some things are not allowed here, and posting them can cost you the account.

3a. Your content

"Your content" means everything you put into the Service: your photos, your intro videos, your video messages, your chat messages, your bio, and every profile selection you make. You own it. Posting it here does not transfer ownership of it to anyone.

You are responsible for it being accurate and for having the right to post it. By posting it you confirm that it depicts you, that it was made with your knowledge and consent, and that nobody else's rights are broken by it appearing here.

Your profile is published to other members — that is what the Service is for. Your first name, age, photos, intro videos, bio, Culture & Language and ASL selections, relationship goal, interests, and an approximate distance are shown to other members so they can decide whether to like you. That happens before any match exists.

And anything you post or send can be captured by the person who sees it. Section 2c forbids screenshotting and re-sharing, and reports of it are acted on — but no app can stop a phone photographing its own screen. Decide what to send on that basis, not on the basis of the rule.

3b. Other members' content

Photos, videos, bios, and messages made by other members belong to those members. You may look at them inside the app for the reason the Service exists — deciding whether to connect, and talking once you have. You get no other rights in them.

Do not copy, download, save, re-post, publish, or distribute another member's content, and do not use it commercially or to harass, embarrass, or expose anyone. Doing so can end your account, and it can also give that member a claim against you that ASL Dating is no part of.

Nothing another member posts is verified or vouched for. It may be inaccurate, out of date, or deliberately false — including photos, which are widely editable and which ASL Dating does not detect alterations in. What you decide on the strength of it is your decision.

3c. Our content

The ASL Dating name, logo, artwork, icons, illustrations, badges, interface design, and text supplied by us are owned by or licensed to ASL Dating LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. None of it passes to you under these Terms.

The illustrations and icons in the app are computer-generated, including by artificial-intelligence tools, and depict no real person. They are stylised artwork, not photographs of actual individuals, and any resemblance to a real person is coincidental. This applies only to imagery supplied by ASL Dating — member photos and intro videos are uploaded by members and are covered by 3a.

3d. Member-created video

Intro videos and video messages are recorded by members using the in-app camera and are created solely by the member who records them. ASL Dating does not script, direct, caption, or otherwise contribute to the expressive content of member video. Whether a member's video includes captions, on-screen text, or any other text alternative is decided by the member who records it.

The license in Section 7 lets ASL Dating host, display, and distribute member video and make the technical changes needed to operate the Service. It is not a statement that member video is reviewed, edited, or captioned before or after it is posted, and it is not done.

4. Reporting, review, and enforcement

You can report anyone. Reports are confidential, every category suspends the account straight away — subject to limits that stop one account driving repeated suspensions — and you can appeal a decision.

Every profile and every conversation can be reported, and any member can be blocked at any time. Reporting a member also blocks them.

A report in any of the categories the report form offers — inappropriate or explicit content, threatening or violent messages, harassment or bullying, hate speech or discrimination, an underage user, grooming or targeting a minor, sex trafficking or exploitation, a scam or fraud attempt, or a fake, spam, or bot account — suspends the reported account automatically, without waiting for anyone to read it. Where the report concerns a conversation, that conversation is removed for both members.

Automatic suspension is subject to anti-abuse limits, so that one account cannot drive repeated suspensions of others. Where a limit holds the automatic step back, the report is still recorded and still counts toward suspension of the reported account.

How many reports one account may file in a short period is capped, so the report button cannot be used as a weapon. Reports in the three child-safety categories are never capped. A report that cannot be filed in the app is always accepted at support@asldatingapp.com.

Removing an individual photo, video, or message, banning an account permanently, and blocking a phone number from registering again are decisions taken on review rather than automatically. Whether a review happens, when, and what it concludes is discretionary — see Section 11.

Appeals. A suspended member has 72 hours from the suspension to appeal, using the appeal form on the screen shown at sign-in or by emailing support@asldatingapp.com. A timely appeal is looked at by a person rather than by an automated system. An appeal sent after that window may not be considered, and no response time is promised for the review itself.

False reports. The report button is a safety tool. Using it against someone who has done nothing wrong — to punish a rejection, or to remove a rival — is itself a violation of Section 2c and can end the reporting account.

Conduct that breaks these Terms off the platform, in a place ASL Dating cannot see, can still be grounds for removal here. What happens between members away from the app is not something ASL Dating controls or takes responsibility for, but it can and does inform whether an account stays.

5. Privacy

What we collect and why is set out in the Privacy Policy, which is part of this agreement.

What is collected, why, who it goes to, and how long it is kept are set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of your agreement with us. If you live in California, the California Privacy Addendum sorts the same practices into the categories that state's law uses and sets out your rights under it. Two points are worth stating here because they are commonly assumed the other way round:

6. The license we give you

You get permission to use the app while your account is open. You do not get to copy it, resell it, or take it apart.

While your account is in good standing, you have a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install the app and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial purpose of meeting and talking to other members. That is the whole of it, and all other rights are reserved.

Everything Section 2c forbids is a limit on this license. Doing any of it ends the license automatically, whether or not your account is also suspended.

7. The license you give us

You keep ownership of your photos and videos. We get permission to display them so the Service can work — and that permission ends 30 days after you delete your account.

So that the Service can display your profile and deliver your messages, you grant ASL Dating a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to host, store, copy, reformat, display, and distribute your content, and to make the technical changes needed to run the Service — resizing an image, re-encoding a video, and the like.

The license also permits ASL Dating to use your content to promote the Service — in app store listings, on the website, and in other marketing material — without owing you any payment, royalty, or credit.

That promotional permission is time-limited, and this is deliberate. ASL Dating's right to use your photos and intro videos for marketing or promotion of any kind lasts only while your account is active and for 30 days after you delete it. After that, new promotional uses stop and existing ones are pulled from materials within our reasonable control.

Feedback is different. If you send an idea, feature request, or bug report, it may be acted on freely, without payment and without being treated as confidential. You keep any rights you already had in it — this is permission to act, not a transfer. If you would rather not give that permission, please do not send the suggestion.

Information about you may be accessed, kept, or disclosed where it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law or valid legal process, to enforce these Terms, to investigate suspected fraud or a safety threat, or to protect the rights or safety of any person.

8. Subscriptions and payment

Apple and Google take the money, not us. There is a three-business-day right to cancel a new subscription, and separate rights if you die or become disabled.

Creating a profile is free. A paid subscription — Premium or Platinum — is what unlocks swiping, matching, and messaging.

Buying through the App Store or Google Play

What a subscription buys, and what it does not

A subscription buys access to the Service's features. It does not buy a number of profiles, a number of matches, a number of replies, or any outcome. ASL Dating serves a specific community and is new, so how many members are near you will vary by region and over time. Nobody is obliged to like you back, answer you, or meet you.

There are no coins, tokens, or other purchasable virtual items on this Service. Features arrive with the tier you subscribe to, and any feature, limit, or price may be added, changed, or withdrawn.

Canceling, refunds, and the mix-up that costs people money

Deleting your account does NOT cancel your subscription, and canceling your subscription does NOT delete your account. They are two separate actions in two different places.

Because Apple and Google are the merchant of record, your subscription lives in your App Store or Google Play account rather than in ours, and ASL Dating cannot cancel it for you. Delete the app and the account without canceling and the billing carries on — with no app left to cancel from, and no email address on file to remind you. Cancel in the store first, then delete your account. Canceling from the store afterwards also works.

The reverse catches people too: cancel without deleting and your profile stays visible to other members. If you want it gone, use Settings → Delete Account.

Subscription fees are otherwise non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund or where Apple's or Google's own refund policies provide one. Refund decisions for store purchases belong to Apple and Google. Where Apple asks us for information about how a subscription has been used so that it can decide, what is provided concerns your use of this app only.

Subscription fees are non-refundable except as provided in Sections 8b and 8c, as required by applicable law, or under Apple's or Google's refund policies.

Chargebacks. Disputing a charge with your bank instead of asking Apple or Google for a refund may result in your account being suspended or closed. The store refund route does not put your account at risk. If a chargeback is later reversed, contact support@asldatingapp.com.

8a. Terms that apply when you use the app on Apple devices

This part applies where you obtained the app from Apple's App Store, and it controls over the rest of these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

8b. Your Right to Cancel Within Three Business Days

COLORADO — C.R.S. § 6-1-731(3)(B)(II)

YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT, WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION, AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THIS CONTRACT, EXCLUDING SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION NEED NOT TAKE A PARTICULAR FORM AND IS EFFECTIVE IF IT INDICATES YOUR DESIRE TO NOT BE BOUND BY THIS CONTRACT. TO CANCEL THIS CONTRACT, SEND AN E-MAIL THAT STATES THAT YOU, THE BUYER, ARE CANCELING THIS CONTRACT, OR WORDS OF SIMILAR EFFECT. SEND THIS NOTICE TO: support@asldatingapp.com

CALIFORNIA — CAL. CIV. CODE § 1694.2(B)(1)

You, the buyer, may cancel this agreement, without any penalty or obligation, at any time prior to midnight of the original contract seller's third business day following the date of this contract, excluding Sundays and holidays. To cancel this agreement, mail or deliver a signed and dated notice, or send a telegram which states that you, the buyer, are canceling this agreement, or words of similar effect. This notice shall be sent to: ASL Dating LLC (Name of the business that sold you the contract), 8977 S 1300 W, Unit #460, West Jordan, UT 84088 (Address of the business that sold you the contract).

NEW YORK — N.Y. GBL § 394-C(7)(B)

YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT WITHOUT ANY CANCELLATION FEE WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THIS CONTRACT. SEE THE ATTACHED NOTICE OF CANCELLATION FORM FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS RIGHT.

CONNECTICUT — CONN. GEN. STAT. § 42-321(B)(1)

YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS CONTRACT OR AFTER THE SOCIAL REFERRAL SERVICE HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE, WHICHEVER IS LATER. SEE THE ATTACHED NOTICE OF CANCELLATION FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS RIGHT.

Whichever of those statements applies to you, your window runs to midnight of the third business day after the LATER of the date of this contract, your receipt of it, or the date the Service was made available to you. Any of the routes named in any of them works, including a plain email to support@asldatingapp.com.

You do not need to find your state below.

Section 8b already gives you the best terms any state requires — the longest cancellation window and the fastest refund of all of them, applied to every member regardless of where you live. If you only read one part of Section 8, read 8b.

The eleven sections after it exist because each state's law prescribes its own exact wording, and several of those laws require that wording to appear in the contract itself. They are there so those laws are satisfied — not because you have homework. Nothing in any of them takes away anything Section 8b gives you.

If you want your own state's wording anyway: Arizona 8d · New York 8e · Connecticut 8f · Colorado 8g · Illinois 8h · Ohio 8i · Wisconsin 8j · Minnesota 8k · Rhode Island 8l · Iowa 8m · North Carolina 8n. California is covered by Sections 8b and 8c. If your state is not listed, Section 8b still applies to you in full.

ASL Dating LLC, 8977 S 1300 W, Unit #460, West Jordan, UT 84088 — this is the address to which notice of cancellation is to be mailed or delivered. The date of this contract is the date you accepted these Terms. It is recorded against your account, and it is shown at the top of this document.

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION

Date of transaction: the date you accepted these Terms. It is shown at the top of this document, and your deadline is midnight of the third business day after it.

YOU MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT, WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION, WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THIS CONTRACT — OR, IF LATER, AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS CONTRACT OR AFTER THE SERVICE HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE — BY MAILING THIS SIGNED AND DATED NOTICE OF CANCELLATION BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED UNITED STATES MAIL, OR BY EMAIL, TO THE SELLER AT THE ADDRESS OR EMAIL ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN. IF YOU CANCEL, ANY PAYMENTS MADE BY YOU UNDER THE CONTRACT WILL BE RETURNED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT BY THE SELLER OF YOUR CANCELLATION NOTICE. TO CANCEL THIS TRANSACTION, MAIL OR EMAIL A SIGNED AND DATED COPY OF THIS CANCELLATION NOTICE TO:

ASL Dating LLC (Name of Seller) — 8977 S 1300 W, Unit #460, West Jordan, UT 84088, or support@asldatingapp.com (Address or email address of Seller) — NOT LATER THAN midnight of the third business day after the date of transaction shown above (Date).

Your notice does not have to use this form or any particular words. Any clear statement that you do not wish to be bound counts.

This right is in addition to your ordinary right to cancel a subscription at any time through the App Store or Google Play. It is different from that right: canceling a subscription stops the next charge, while this right unwinds the purchase you have just made and returns what you paid for it.

8c. Cancellation on Death or Disability

If you die or become disabled and cannot receive the services you have paid for, you — or your estate — may choose to be relieved of any obligation to pay for services not yet received, and any amount you have prepaid that is allocable to services you have not received is promptly refunded.

8d. Arizona Residents — Terms Required by Arizona Law

Arizona requires that a dating service set out, in the contract itself, every requirement and prohibition that its dating-services law imposes (A.R.S. §44-7152). This Section does that. It applies to you if you are an Arizona resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised.

8e. New York Residents — Terms Required by New York Law

New York General Business Law §394-c applies to social referral services. It applies to you if you are a New York resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised.

8f. Connecticut Residents — Terms Required by Connecticut Law

Connecticut General Statutes §42-321 applies to social referral services. It applies to you if you are a Connecticut resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised.

8g. Colorado Residents — Terms Required by Colorado Law

Colorado Revised Statutes §6-1-731 applies to dating services and online dating services. It applies to you if you are a Colorado resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised.

8h. Illinois Residents — Terms Required by Illinois Law

The Illinois Dating Referral Services Act, 815 ILCS 615, applies to dating referral services. It applies to you if you are an Illinois resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised.

8i. Ohio Residents — Terms Required by Ohio Law

Ohio's Prepaid Entertainment Contracts Act, R.C. 1345.41 to 1345.51, applies here. R.C. 1345.41(A) defines a "prepaid entertainment contract" to include a "social referral service, which includes any service that, for a fee, provides matching of members of the opposite sex, by any means, for purposes of introduction, dating, or general social contacts." ASL Dating treats itself as covered and extends everything in this Section to every Ohio member, whoever they are matched with. Where anything else in these Terms conflicts with this Section, this Section governs.

8j. Wisconsin Residents — Terms Required by Wisconsin Law

Wisconsin Statute 100.175 applies to dating service contracts. It applies to you if you are a Wisconsin resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised. Wisconsin prescribes the wording below and requires it under a heading in boldface capital letters of at least 10-point type.

CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

Right to Cancel. You are permitted to cancel this contract until midnight of the 3rd day after the date on which you signed the contract. If within this time period you decide you want to cancel this contract, you may do so by notifying ASL Dating LLC by any writing mailed or delivered to ASL Dating LLC at the address shown on the contract, within the previously described time period. If you do so cancel, any payments made by you will be refunded within 21 days after notice of cancellation is delivered, and any evidence of any indebtedness executed by you will be canceled by ASL Dating LLC and arrangements will be made to relieve you of any further obligation to pay the same.

The address shown on this contract for that purpose is ASL Dating LLC, 8977 S 1300 W, Unit #460, West Jordan, UT 84088. Email to support@asldatingapp.com is also accepted and is quicker.

⚠️ Note the difference from every other state in these Terms: Wisconsin counts the 3rd day, not the third business day. Where Wisconsin's shorter count would end your right sooner than Section 8b's business-day count, Section 8b's longer window applies to you — nothing in this Section shortens a right you have under another.

If this contract does not comply with Wis. Stat. 100.175, that statute provides it is unenforceable against the buyer.

8k. Minnesota Residents — Terms Required by Minnesota Law

Minnesota Statutes §§ 325G.23 to 325G.25 apply to a "social referral club", which § 325G.23, subd. 5 defines as a business whose primary purpose is matching members, by computer or any other means, to facilitate dating or general social contact. ASL Dating treats itself as covered and extends this Section to every Minnesota member, whoever they are matched with. Where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs.

YOU MAY CANCEL THIS MEMBERSHIP, IN YOUR SOLE DISCRETION, BY GIVING NOTICE OF CANCELLATION AT ANY TIME BEFORE MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE ON WHICH THE MEMBERSHIP WAS ATTAINED. IF YOU CANCEL, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THE ENTIRE CONSIDERATION PAID, WITHIN TEN DAYS AFTER NOTICE OF CANCELLATION IS GIVEN, AND WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY ON YOUR PART.

8l. Rhode Island Residents — Terms Required by Rhode Island Law

Rhode Island General Laws chapter 5-78 applies to dating services. It applies to you if you are a Rhode Island resident, and where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs — except that where another Section of these Terms gives you a longer cancellation window or a faster refund, you get that instead. This Section states what your state requires as a floor; it never reduces anything you are already promised. Rhode Island prescribes the statement below and requires it in not less than ten-point boldface type.

RHODE ISLAND — R.I. GEN. LAWS CH. 5-78

YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS CONTRACT.

8m. Iowa Residents — Terms Required by Iowa Law

Iowa Code chapter 555A applies. Iowa reaches this contract in an unusual way, and the wording matters: § 555A.1(3)(b)(2) provides that a "door-to-door sale", irrespective of the place or manner of sale, also means a sale of a social referral service — which Iowa defines as "a service for a fee providing matching or introduction of individuals for the purpose of dating, matrimony, or general social contact not otherwise prohibited by law." The phrase "irrespective of the place or manner of sale" is why a subscription bought inside an app is covered. Where anything else in these Terms conflicts with this Section, this Section governs.

Iowa requires the following statement in ten-point boldface type:

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION

You may cancel this transaction, without any penalty or obligation, within three business days from the date of the transaction.

If you cancel, any payments made by you under the contract or sale, and any negotiable instrument executed by you, will be returned within ten business days following receipt by the seller of your cancellation notice, and any security interest arising out of the transaction will be canceled.

To cancel this transaction, mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of this cancellation notice or any other written notice to ASL Dating LLC, 8977 S 1300 W, Unit #460, West Jordan, UT 84088, not later than midnight of the third business day from the date of the transaction.

Email to support@asldatingapp.com is also accepted and is quicker. Iowa's form also deals with returning goods delivered to you; ASL Dating supplies no physical goods, so there is nothing for you to return.

8n. North Carolina Residents — Terms Required by North Carolina Law

N.C.G.S. Chapter 66, Article 21 (Prepaid Entertainment Contracts) applies. § 66-118 covers "matching, dating, or social club services or facilities". ASL Dating treats itself as covered and extends this Section to every North Carolina member, whoever they are matched with. Where anything else in these Terms conflicts with it, this Section governs.

North Carolina requires the following statement in boldface type of at least ten point, near the space for your acceptance:

You the buyer, may cancel this contract at any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of this contract. To cancel, you must notify the seller in writing not later than midnight of the third business day after the date of this contract.

9. Ending your account

You can leave whenever you like. We can close an account for breaking these Terms. Deleting the app is not the same as cancelling a subscription.

You can leave at any time from Settings → Delete Account. If you have a subscription, read "Canceling, refunds, and the mix-up that costs people money" in Section 8 first — deleting the account does not stop the billing.

ASL Dating may suspend or close an account at any time, with or without notice, for breaking these Terms or the Community Guidelines, or where it is reasonably necessary for the safety of members. When that happens:

Why you may not be told everything. Where an account is removed after a report, ASL Dating may decline to say who reported it, what the report said, or what evidence it carried. On a service where members meet in person, that detail can identify the reporter to the person they reported. The reason is given at the level of the guideline or Term involved, and your right to appeal under Section 4 is unaffected.

Appealing a content removal. Section 4 covers appealing a suspension. If instead a single photo, video, bio, or message of yours has been removed while your account remains active, and you believe that was a mistake, email support@asldatingapp.com. As with any review described in Section 11a, whether and when that is looked at is discretionary and no response time is guaranteed.

Accounts nobody signs into. An account with no sign-in for two years may be closed and its data deleted. That is data minimization rather than a penalty — an abandoned profile still sits in other members' decks and still holds personal information that no longer needs to exist. Signing in resets the clock. An active subscription is separate and must still be canceled in the store.

The parts of these Terms that by their nature should outlast your account do outlast it — ownership, disclaimers, the liability cap, indemnity, and dispute resolution among them.

9a. If the Service is modified, suspended, or discontinued

ASL Dating LLC and any successor reserve the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or permanently shut down the Service — in whole or in part, in any market, at any time, with or without notice, and for any reason or none. By using the Service you acknowledge:

You accept the risk that the Service may become unavailable at any time and that you may lose access to your account, photos, videos, conversations, and matches. This Section survives termination. It does not limit your rights under Sections 8b to 8n, any right the law of your state gives you, or any liability the law does not permit to be limited.

10. No background checks and no identity verification

We do not run criminal background checks and we do not verify anyone's identity. Treat everyone here as a stranger.

ASL DATING DOES NOT RUN CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON MEMBERS AND DOES NOT VERIFY ANYONE'S IDENTITY BEYOND CONFIRMING THAT A TEXT MESSAGE REACHES THEIR PHONE.

Judging who you are talking to is your responsibility. No representation, warranty, or assurance is given about any member's character, history, honesty, or intentions, or about whether any two members will suit each other.

A Member Safety Policy in the Safety Center describes what is and is not done here, and the safety notices the law requires — including telling members who had been in contact with an account that was removed for suspected fraud. Sending those notices and keeping that policy are compliance and safety measures. Consistent with this Section and Section 14, they create no duty of care, no guarantee, and no representation about any member.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided as it is. We are not responsible for what other members do, and there are limits on what we promise — but some of those limits do not apply where the law says they cannot.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. To the fullest extent the law allows, ASL Dating disclaims all warranties, express and implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and specifically does not warrant:

The Service is not professional advice. It is not a substitute for counselling, therapy, medical care, legal advice, or financial advice, and nothing communicated through it is any of those. Online dating carries real emotional risk — rejection, ghosting, and worse. If you are in crisis in the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Events outside anyone's control. ASL Dating is not liable for any failure or delay in performance, service interruption, data loss, account loss, or other harm arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including:

During any such event ASL Dating's performance obligations are suspended without liability — except for the breach-notification commitment in Section 11b, which remains binding — and the Service may be suspended, modified, or discontinued as Section 9a describes.

Nothing in this Section excludes or limits liability that the law does not permit to be excluded or limited, including for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or personal injury caused by ASL Dating's own act or omission, and including any claim for wrongful death.

11a. Safety review — no legal obligation or liability

ASL DATING MAY REVIEW SAFETY REPORTS AS A COURTESY TO ITS MEMBERS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 4, THE OBLIGATION TO REVIEW A TIMELY APPEAL DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4 AND IN THE "AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING" SECTION OF THE PRIVACY POLICY (NO RESPONSE TIME BEING GUARANTEED FOR THAT REVIEW), AND THE BREACH-NOTIFICATION COMMITMENT IN SECTION 11b, THE EXISTENCE OF THIS REVIEW PROCESS DOES NOT CREATE ANY LEGAL OBLIGATION, DUTY OF CARE, OR LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ASL DATING. By using the Service, you expressly agree to the following:

Subject to those exceptions, the safety, reporting, and moderation features are offered as is and as available, without warranty of any kind. Nothing about their existence or operation — whether described in the app, in these Terms, or anywhere else — is a warranty, a service level, or a duty of care running to you. Where a report is not reviewed or acted on, for any reason including human error, a technical failure, or the volume of reports against the time available, that outcome falls outside any warranty or obligation undertaken here.

11b. Security, data breaches, and unauthorized access

ASL DATING USES REASONABLE SECURITY MEASURES APPROPRIATE TO THE NATURE OF THE INFORMATION HELD, BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE SECURITY OF YOUR DATA OR OF THE SERVICE. By using ASL Dating you acknowledge and agree:

Breach notification — and this one is a commitment, not a disclaimer. If a breach materially affecting your personal information is confirmed, you will be notified in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, and in no case later than 30 days after we determine that a breach has occurred.

If your account has been deleted and your contact details erased, we cannot reach you directly, and no separate list of former members is kept for the purpose — holding your phone number after deletion in case of a future breach would defeat the deletion itself. In that situation the law permits substitute notice where a business lacks sufficient contact information (for example N.Y. GBL § 899-aa), and that is what would be used: a conspicuous notice on the website, notification to major statewide media, and notice to the Attorney General where required.

Several states — Colorado, Florida, Maine, Washington and New York among them — set an outer limit of 30 days, measured in some states from discovery of the breach rather than from our determination, and some also require notice to the state attorney general. Others, California included, set no fixed outer limit and instead require notice in the most expedient time possible without unreasonable delay. Where your state's law requires notice on a shorter deadline, from an earlier trigger, with additional content, or to a regulator, that law is followed. Notice may be delayed only where law enforcement determines that it would impede a criminal investigation.

The breach-notification commitment above is not excluded, released, or negated by any other provision of these Terms — including the events-beyond-control and cybercrime bullets above, the disclaimers in Section 11, the safety-review disclaimers in Section 11a, the limitation of liability in Section 14, and the assumption of risk in Section 14a. It remains subject to the aggregate liability cap in Section 14, except so far as the law does not permit that liability to be limited.

12. Copyright complaints

If something here infringes your copyright, tell our designated agent and it will be dealt with.

ASL Dating respects intellectual-property rights and follows the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. Material believed in good faith to be infringing may be removed or made inaccessible.

To report an infringement, send the designated agent a written notice containing:

Designated Copyright Agent: ASL Dating LLC — DMCA Designated Agent. Mailing address: 8977 S 1300 W, Unit #460, West Jordan, UT 84088. Email: DMCA@asldatingapp.com

Counter-notice. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent with your signature, the material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you hold that good-faith belief, your name, address, and telephone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you live, and your agreement to accept service from the person who filed the original notice. Where the law allows, removed material may be restored in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant files a court action first.

Repeat infringers. Accounts of members who repeatedly infringe copyright may be disabled or closed.

13. Advertising and third-party links

Advertising for other companies may appear. The same ads are shown to everyone, it is not delivered through an advertising network, and advertisers receive only aggregate figures. Links out of the app are not ours.

ASL Dating carries no third-party advertising network and no advertising SDK. Nothing in the app tracks you for an advertiser, and no personal information is passed to one.

Advertising may be added to the Service in future. If it is, it will be served by ASL Dating from its own systems. An advertiser is sent counts: how many times an ad was shown, how many accounts saw it, and a breakdown by gender. Your name, photos, videos, messages and profile are not sent to advertisers. Which ads you see does not depend on your gender, who you are interested in, or your Culture & Language selection: the same ads are shown to everyone. If that changes, the Privacy Policy is updated and any control the law requires is provided first.

The Service links out to places ASL Dating does not run — a crisis line, a safety resource, a fraud-avoidance page, a store listing. Those links are there for the reason given where they appear. What is on the other side of them is not controlled, endorsed, or answered for here, and your use of any of them is governed by that party's own terms and privacy policy.

14. Limitation of liability

There are limits on what we owe you if something goes wrong. Several kinds of claim are carved out of those limits by law, and those carve-outs stand.

ASL Dating introduces members to each other. It does not select, screen, supervise, or accompany anyone, and it is not answerable for what a member does. That is true inside the app, in a video message, and in any meeting that follows. Meeting someone from the internet carries risk that no reporting tool, block button, or suspension can remove, because those tools act on accounts and act after something has been reported.

To the maximum extent the law permits, ASL Dating and its officers, employees, agents, and partners are not liable for:

Total liability for all claims arising out of these Terms or the Service is capped at the greater of (a) what you paid ASL Dating in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $100. That cap applies whatever the claim is founded on — contract, tort, statute, or anything else — and applies even if a remedy in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Nothing in this Section waives, limits, or releases any liability the law does not permit to be waived, limited, or released. Some states do not allow certain exclusions; where that is so, liability is limited to the greatest extent that state allows. Nothing here affects the breach-notification commitment in the Privacy Policy, the automatic suspensions in Section 4, the obligation to review a timely appeal, your right under Section 15c to take a sexual-assault or sexual-harassment dispute to court, or any right under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

If you are the victim of a crime, contact law enforcement. ASL Dating will cooperate with valid legal requests, but it is not your representative, your advocate, or your counsel.

14a. Assumption of risk

This Section does not release any claim, and nothing in these Terms asks you to give up a right you have against ASL Dating. It describes the risks you take on by using a service of this kind, and it records what you are acknowledging when you accept these Terms. Where ASL Dating's liability is limited, that limit is set by Section 14, and by nothing in this Section.

By using the Service you acknowledge that:

You take on these risks knowingly and voluntarily. That is an acknowledgment of how the Service works, not a waiver — it does not bar you from bringing a claim, and it does not affect any right you have under law that cannot be limited by agreement, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.150), your right under Section 15c to elect a judicial forum for a sexual-assault or sexual-harassment dispute under 9 U.S.C. §§ 401–402, the commitments made in Sections 4 and 11b, or any right protected by Section 8d.

14b. Criminal acts and misconduct by other members

To the fullest extent the law permits, ASL Dating is not liable for any criminal act, tort, or other harm committed by any member of the Service against you or anyone else, whether it happens on or off the platform. Nothing in this Section purports to waive, limit, or release any liability that the law does not permit to be waived, limited, or released. This includes, without limitation:

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT MEETING OR INTERACTING WITH OTHER MEMBERS — IN THE APP, BY TEXT OR VIDEO MESSAGE, OR IN PERSON — INVOLVES INHERENT RISKS, INCLUDING THE RISK OF SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR DEATH, AND YOU ACCEPT THOSE RISKS IN FULL.

ASL DATING IS NOT A GUARDIAN, CHAPERONE, GUARANTOR, OR INSURER OF YOUR SAFETY. Except for the commitments expressly made in Sections 4 and 11b and the obligation to review a timely appeal, the existence of safety features within the Service — reporting, blocking, suspension, automatic suspension, safety alerts — creates no legal duty of care, common-law obligation, or contractual promise to protect you.

If you are the victim of a crime, contact local law enforcement immediately. ASL Dating will cooperate with valid law-enforcement requests but is not your representative, your advocate, or your legal counsel.

15. Resolving disputes

Most disputes go to arbitration rather than court, in your own county, with our fee rules in your favour. You can opt out, and sexual-assault and small-claims matters are excluded.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS HOW YOUR CLAIMS ARE DECIDED AND WHERE.

15a. Talk to us first

Before starting an arbitration or a lawsuit, you and ASL Dating each agree to try to settle the dispute informally for at least 60 days after written notice. Send yours to legal@asldatingapp.com with your name, the phone number or account involved, what the dispute is about, and what you want. Ours goes to the contact method on your account. This step is a precondition to arbitration, and the limitation period on your claim is paused while it runs, so using it costs you nothing.

15b. Individual claims only

You and ASL Dating each agree to bring claims only individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim alone proceeds in court and the rest of this Section stays in force.

15c. Arbitration, and what does not have to go to arbitration

Except for the carve-outs below, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service are resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or any successor rules), as modified here. If the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to administer the arbitration on these terms, you and ASL Dating will agree on another established consumer-arbitration provider, and failing agreement a court may appoint one. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section, and judgment on an award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

What is carved out:

Who decides what. The arbitrator decides questions about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and formation of this Section — except that a court, not an arbitrator, decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver in 15b, any carved- out claim for public injunctive relief, and whether a dispute is a sexual-assault or sexual-harassment dispute under 9 U.S.C. §§ 401–402 and whether this Section is enforceable as to it.

15d. How arbitration works here

15e. Opting out, and what happens when this Section changes

You can opt out of arbitration entirely within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Email legal@asldatingapp.com with your name and the phone number or account involved, saying you opt out of arbitration. Opting out changes nothing else in these Terms, and it is not held against you.

And the window reopens whenever this Section materially changes. If Section 15 is materially changed after you accepted it, you have another 30 days from the change to opt out the same way. If you do, the version of Section 15 you last accepted continues to govern disputes between you and ASL Dating.

16. Governing law

Utah law governs this agreement, except where your own state's law gives you something it cannot take away.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 15. Everything else in these Terms is governed by the law of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules — except that this choice does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection law of the state where you live that cannot be waived by agreement.

17. Your indemnity

If a third party sues us because of something you did, you cover that. It does not apply to claims between you and us.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ASL Dating LLC and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and partners against any third-party claim, and the resulting damages, losses, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees, arising from:

This indemnity is limited in three ways that matter, and they apply to the whole Section. It covers third-party claims only. It applies only so far as the claim arises from your own act, omission, or violation — not to the extent it arises from ASL Dating's. And it does not apply to any dispute between you and ASL Dating, whichever of us brings it. Nothing here requires you to pay a fee a court or arbitrator finds unreasonable.

18. Accepting these Terms

Tapping accept is a signature. We keep a record of which version you agreed to and when.

By tapping to accept, or by using the Service, you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Community Guidelines. If you do not accept them, you are not entitled to use the Service.
