Last Updated: 24Aug2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms,” “Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Member,” “User,” “you,” or “your”) and Celebrate Black Love LLC (“Celebrate Black Love,” “CBL,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) governing your access to and use of the Celebrate Black Love website, mobile applications, technology, content, communications, subscriptions, virtual items, features, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY.

By creating an account, accessing or using the Services, purchasing a subscription or virtual item, or otherwise indicating your acceptance, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and the policies incorporated into them.

These Terms should be read together with CBL’s:

  • Privacy Policy;
  • Community Guidelines;
  • Safety Guidelines;
  • Consumer Health Data Statement, where applicable;
  • Cookie Policy;
  • Accessibility Statement;
  • Relationship Integrity Declaration;
  • applicable purchase or subscription disclosures; and
  • other policies presented to you in connection with the Services.

If you do not agree, you may not create an account or use the Services.


1. ABOUT CELEBRATE BLACK LOVE

Celebrate Black Love LLC.  does not guarantee that any Member will find a match, enter a relationship, marry, or achieve any particular relationship outcome.


2. ELIGIBILITY TO USE CELEBRATE BLACK LOVE

You are not authorized to create or maintain an account unless you satisfy all applicable eligibility requirements.

By registering for or using CBL, you represent and warrant that:

2.1 Age

You are at least 18 years old and have reached the age of majority necessary to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction.

CBL is strictly an adult dating service.

Minors may not register, create accounts, submit profiles, communicate with Members, or otherwise use the Services.

2.2 Individual Use

You are a natural person using CBL for legitimate personal dating and relationship purposes.

Unless expressly authorized by CBL, organizations, businesses, automated systems, agencies, commercial operators, and persons acting on behalf of third parties may not create Member accounts.

2.3 Legal Capacity

You are legally capable of entering into this Agreement and are not legally prohibited from using the Services.

2.4 Relationship Eligibility

CBL is intended for individuals who are genuinely available to pursue a relationship.

You affirm that you:

  • are not legally married; and
  • are not currently in an exclusive, committed, or domestic partnership relationship.

A person who does not satisfy these requirements may not create or maintain a dating profile on CBL.

2.5 Accurate Identity

You must provide truthful, current, and materially complete information about yourself.

You may not:

  • impersonate another person;
  • create an account using another person’s identity;
  • materially misrepresent your age;
  • use stolen identification;
  • intentionally provide materially false identity information;
  • create deceptive profiles; or
  • misrepresent your eligibility to participate in CBL.

3. CRIMINAL HISTORY AND SAFETY ELIGIBILITY

CBL is committed to maintaining a community in which Member safety is treated as a fundamental platform priority.

Certain criminal histories, conduct, legal restrictions, and safety risks may make an individual ineligible to use CBL.

3.1 Registered Sex Offenders

You may not register for or use CBL if you are required to register as a sex offender with any federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, military, or comparable foreign governmental authority.

CBL may permanently prohibit an account reasonably determined to belong to a registered sex offender, subject to applicable law and appropriate identity confirmation.

3.2 Serious Sexual and Violent Offenses

You may not register for or use CBL if you have been convicted of, pleaded guilty or no contest to, or otherwise been adjudicated responsible for an offense involving:

  • rape;
  • sexual assault;
  • sexual abuse;
  • sexual exploitation;
  • sexual abuse or exploitation of a minor;
  • child sexual abuse material or comparable exploitation offenses;
  • human trafficking;
  • sex trafficking;
  • kidnapping or abduction;
  • stalking;
  • domestic violence or serious domestic abuse;
  • murder;
  • attempted murder;
  • serious physical violence;
  • a credible threat of serious violence;
  • violent hate crimes;
  • terrorism or violent extremism; or
  • other serious sexual or violent conduct that CBL reasonably determines presents a material safety risk to Members.

Where legally appropriate, CBL may also consider substantially equivalent offenses under foreign, military, tribal, territorial, or other applicable law.

3.3 Other Criminal History

CBL may review other criminal history on an individualized basis where permitted by law.

A criminal record will not necessarily result in automatic exclusion unless the offense, circumstances, or applicable law places the person within a prohibited category under these Terms.

CBL may consider legally permissible factors such as:

  • nature and seriousness of the offense;
  • relationship of the conduct to Member safety;
  • recency;
  • evidence of repeated conduct;
  • whether violence, coercion, exploitation, fraud, or sexual misconduct was involved;
  • applicable legal restrictions; and
  • other relevant and legally permissible circumstances.

An arrest alone does not necessarily establish that prohibited conduct occurred.

CBL will address sealed, expunged, pardoned, vacated, juvenile, or otherwise legally protected records in accordance with applicable law.

3.4 Safety-Related Conduct Without Criminal Conviction

CBL’s Community Guidelines and safety standards are not limited to conduct resulting in a criminal conviction.

CBL may investigate and take appropriate account action when credible information indicates that a Member has engaged in conduct presenting a material threat to Member safety, including sexual violence, serious physical violence, stalking, trafficking, exploitation, serious harassment, credible threats, or comparable dangerous conduct.

CBL may consider Member reports, information voluntarily provided to CBL, publicly available information, and other information that CBL is legally permitted to consider.

CBL will determine platform eligibility under its policies and applicable law. CBL does not adjudicate criminal guilt.


4. BACKGROUND SCREENING, REGISTRY SEARCHES AND IDENTITY VERIFICATION

To the extent permitted by applicable law, CBL reserves the right to use identity verification, age verification, fraud-prevention systems, public records, sex-offender registries, legally available criminal-history information, and other safety screening methods.

CBL may use qualified third-party service providers for these purposes.

If CBL uses a consumer reporting agency or another process subject to specific consumer-reporting laws, CBL will comply with applicable authorization, notice, adverse-action, dispute, and other legal requirements.

CBL DOES NOT REPRESENT OR GUARANTEE THAT EVERY MEMBER HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK.

A verification badge, identity check, registry search, background screening, automated safety system, or other verification process does not guarantee:

  • a Member’s identity;
  • the completeness of a Member’s history;
  • a Member’s intentions;
  • a Member’s truthfulness;
  • future behavior; or
  • personal safety.

No database or screening system is complete or error-free.

Members remain responsible for exercising reasonable judgment and following CBL’s Safety Guidelines.


5. RELATIONSHIP INTEGRITY DECLARATION

Honesty and integrity are fundamental values of the Celebrate Black Love community.

As part of registration, CBL may require you to affirm the following:

“I understand that honesty and integrity are fundamental values of the Celebrate Black Love community. I affirm that I am not legally married and am not currently in an exclusive, committed, or domestic partnership relationship; that I am joining Celebrate Black Love with the sincere intention of pursuing a meaningful relationship; that all information I provide regarding my relationship status and eligibility is truthful, complete, and accurate to the best of my knowledge; and that I understand providing false or misleading information may result in the suspension or permanent termination of my account in accordance with the Celebrate Black Love Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, and all applicable platform policies. By checking this box, I acknowledge that this declaration is made voluntarily and that I accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information I provide.”

Acceptance of the Relationship Integrity Declaration is a condition of participation in CBL.


6. MEMBER REAFFIRMATION

CBL may require Members to reaffirm compliance with applicable eligibility, integrity, Community Guideline, or safety requirements when logging into or continuing to use the Services.

If you decline a required reaffirmation, CBL may deny access until the applicable requirement has been satisfied.

CBL reserves the right to determine eligibility for membership and continued participation in accordance with these Terms, the Community Guidelines, other applicable policies, and applicable law.


7. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SECURITY

You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account credentials.

You agree to:

  • provide accurate registration information;
  • maintain current account information;
  • protect verification codes, passwords, and login credentials;
  • promptly notify CBL of suspected unauthorized access;
  • not sell, transfer, rent, or share your account;
  • not permit another person to impersonate you through your account; and
  • cooperate reasonably with legitimate identity and security verification.

CBL may limit Members to one active personal dating account unless otherwise expressly authorized.


8. PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED MEMBERS

A person whose account has been permanently terminated may not create another account, use another identity, use another person’s account, or otherwise circumvent CBL’s enforcement systems unless CBL provides express written authorization.

Attempts to evade suspension or termination may result in immediate removal of related accounts.


9. COMMUNITY CONDUCT

Members must treat other Members with dignity and respect.

You may not use CBL to engage in:

  • harassment;
  • bullying;
  • stalking;
  • intimidation;
  • threats;
  • physical or sexual violence;
  • coercion;
  • nonconsensual sexual behavior;
  • sexual harassment;
  • trafficking;
  • exploitation;
  • hate-based abuse;
  • discrimination prohibited by applicable law;
  • fraudulent activity;
  • romance scams;
  • financial exploitation;
  • identity theft;
  • blackmail;
  • extortion;
  • doxxing;
  • unauthorized disclosure of intimate material;
  • solicitation for prostitution or illegal sexual services;
  • illegal drug or weapons transactions;
  • money laundering or money-mule activity;
  • commercial spam;
  • unauthorized advertising;
  • manipulation of platform systems; or
  • other illegal or materially dangerous conduct.

Conduct involving another CBL Member may be considered even when it occurs outside the platform where permitted by law and where CBL reasonably determines that it presents a material Member-safety or platform-integrity concern.


10. CONSENT AND SEXUAL SAFETY

CBL does not tolerate sexual violence, sexual coercion, or sexual harassment.

Members must respect another person’s boundaries and consent.

Prohibited conduct includes:

  • sexual assault;
  • unwanted sexual contact;
  • attempts to coerce sexual activity;
  • knowingly facilitating sexual exploitation;
  • sending unsolicited sexually explicit images;
  • threatening to distribute intimate images;
  • distributing intimate images without authorization; and
  • using CBL to facilitate trafficking or exploitation.

CBL may take account action based on credible reports of such behavior in accordance with its policies and applicable law.


11. FRAUD, SCAMS AND FINANCIAL SOLICITATION

CBL is a dating platform, not a marketplace for financial solicitation.

Members may not use CBL to:

  • operate romance scams;
  • solicit money under false pretenses;
  • deceive Members for financial benefit;
  • seek investments through deceptive relationships;
  • promote pyramid or fraudulent investment schemes;
  • recruit money mules;
  • solicit banking credentials;
  • obtain gift cards through deception;
  • impersonate military personnel, professionals, public figures, or others for financial gain; or
  • otherwise exploit Members financially.

CBL may investigate suspected fraudulent activity and cooperate with payment providers, financial institutions, safety organizations, or lawful governmental requests where legally appropriate.


12. REPORTING MEMBERS AND SAFETY CONCERNS

Members are encouraged to report suspected violations.

Reports should be made honestly and in good faith.

Knowingly submitting materially false reports, manipulating reporting systems, or repeatedly abusing CBL’s safety procedures may itself violate these Terms.

CBL may preserve relevant information and investigate reports consistent with applicable law and its Privacy Policy.


13. MEMBER CONTENT

“Member Content” includes photographs, profile information, prompts, text, messages where applicable, videos, audio, and other material submitted to the Services.

You retain ownership of rights you hold in your Member Content.

By submitting Member Content, you grant CBL a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, process, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, promote, and provide the Services, subject to applicable privacy law and CBL’s Privacy Policy.

You represent that you possess the rights necessary to submit the content.


14. PROHIBITED CONTENT

You may not submit content that:

  • violates applicable law;
  • infringes intellectual-property rights;
  • contains malicious software;
  • exploits minors;
  • facilitates trafficking;
  • depicts or promotes nonconsensual sexual activity;
  • constitutes unlawful threats;
  • intentionally facilitates fraud;
  • unlawfully exposes another person’s private information;
  • impersonates another person;
  • contains unauthorized intimate imagery; or
  • otherwise materially violates CBL’s Community Guidelines.

CBL may remove or restrict content consistent with applicable law.


15. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The CBL Services, branding, designs, software, trademarks, logos, graphics, proprietary compatibility systems, platform features, original articles, educational content, and other CBL-owned materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except as expressly authorized, Members may not copy, scrape, reproduce, distribute, reverse engineer, commercially exploit, or create unauthorized derivative works from CBL proprietary materials.

“Celebrate Black Love,” its logos, feature names, and associated marks may constitute trademarks or proprietary brand assets of CBL.


16. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURES

CBL may provide AI-enabled features, including:

  • AI Conversation Starters;
  • AI Profile Enhancement;
  • AI Curated Introductions;
  • Advanced Compatibility Insights; and
  • other automated recommendations or assistance.

AI-generated information may be incomplete, inaccurate, inappropriate, or unsuitable for a particular Member.

AI tools do not guarantee compatibility or relationship outcomes.

Members remain responsible for their communications, decisions, profiles, and interactions.

CBL may modify, discontinue, limit, or replace AI functionality.


17. COMPATIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

CBL may use profile information, preferences, assessments, activity, algorithms, AI systems, and other legally permissible information to provide potential matches, compatibility information, recommendations, or introductions.

Compatibility scores and recommendations are informational tools.

They are not psychological diagnoses, professional assessments, guarantees, or predictions of relationship success.


18. MENTAL WELLNESS CONTENT

CBL incorporates mental-wellness education as part of its broader mission of encouraging healthier relationships and communities.

Depending on membership level, Members may receive access to articles, videos, educational resources, wellness tools, and opportunities to earn a Mental Wellness Commitment Badge.

The badge signifies completion of designated CBL wellness activities or requirements. It does not certify that a Member:

  • is mentally healthy;
  • has been evaluated by a mental-health professional;
  • is psychologically compatible with another Member;
  • is safe;
  • has received treatment;
  • has been diagnosed or cleared by a clinician; or
  • will behave in any particular manner.

19. NO MEDICAL OR MENTAL-HEALTH ADVICE

CBL is not a medical provider, mental-health provider, emergency service, or therapist unless a particular service expressly states otherwise and is provided by an appropriately licensed professional.

General CBL wellness content is educational and informational.

It does not replace professional medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic, legal, or emergency assistance.


20. THE LEGACY & WELLNESS ALLIANCE

CBL may support mental-wellness initiatives through The Legacy & Wellness Alliance or other qualifying organizations and programs.

Where CBL represents that a specified amount associated with membership will be contributed to such initiatives, applicable disclosures will describe the contribution.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a Member’s payment to CBL is payment for CBL Services and does not necessarily constitute a tax-deductible charitable contribution by the Member.


21. SUBSCRIPTIONS

CBL may offer free and paid membership levels.

Paid subscriptions may include monthly, annual, or other billing periods.

The features, prices, duration, and benefits applicable to a subscription will be presented before purchase.

Features may vary by membership tier, location, platform, or product availability.


22. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNTIL CANCELLED.

Before purchase, CBL will provide applicable disclosures concerning:

  • subscription price;
  • billing frequency;
  • renewal terms;
  • cancellation procedures; and
  • other information required by law.

Unless otherwise disclosed or prohibited by law, a subscription automatically renews for the disclosed renewal period until cancelled.

Cancellation prevents future renewal charges but ordinarily does not immediately terminate access already paid for.

Members should cancel before the applicable renewal deadline stated at purchase.


23. CANCELLATION

Members may cancel recurring subscriptions using the cancellation method disclosed at purchase or otherwise made available by CBL.

Deleting the application or ceasing to use CBL does not necessarily cancel a subscription.

Subscriptions purchased through Apple, Google, or another third-party marketplace may need to be cancelled through that provider.

CBL will comply with applicable automatic-renewal and cancellation laws.


24. VIRTUAL ITEMS AND OPTIONAL PURCHASES

CBL may offer optional digital or virtual products including:

  • virtual tokens;
  • RankUp;
  • ElevateMe;
  • Incognito passes;
  • virtual gifts; and
  • other digital features.

Virtual items:

  • have no cash value except where required by law;
  • are not legal tender;
  • may not be redeemed for cash except where required by law;
  • may not be transferred or resold unless CBL expressly permits it;
  • constitute limited contractual rights to use designated platform functionality; and
  • may be subject to expiration or usage rules disclosed at purchase.

CBL retains ownership of the underlying platform technology and intellectual property.


25. PAYMENTS

Members authorize CBL and its payment processors to charge the selected payment method for authorized purchases, including applicable taxes and recurring subscription charges.

CBL may use third-party payment processors.

Those providers may impose separate terms and privacy practices.

Members are responsible for maintaining valid payment information.


26. REFUND POLICY — GENERAL RULE

EXCEPT WHERE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NONREFUNDABLE.

This includes, where legally permitted:

  • membership subscriptions;
  • renewal charges;
  • virtual tokens;
  • RankUp purchases;
  • ElevateMe purchases;
  • Incognito passes;
  • virtual gifts;
  • consumed digital features; and
  • other virtual purchases.

CBL generally does not provide refunds or credits for:

  • partially used subscription periods;
  • unused time remaining after voluntary cancellation;
  • failure to use purchased Services;
  • unused virtual items;
  • dissatisfaction with dating results;
  • failure to obtain matches;
  • failure to enter a relationship; or
  • account termination resulting from a Member’s violation of these Terms.

Mandatory consumer rights always control where applicable.


27. REFUND AND CANCELLATION EXCEPTIONS

CBL will honor refund, rescission, cancellation, cooling-off, death, disability, relocation, or similar rights when required by applicable law.

Certain jurisdictions regulate dating-service contracts and may provide rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

CBL may request reasonable documentation when necessary to evaluate a legally recognized refund or cancellation request.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates a non-waivable consumer right.


28. APPLE, GOOGLE AND THIRD-PARTY PURCHASES

Purchases processed through Apple’s App Store, Google Play, or another third-party marketplace may also be governed by that provider’s terms, billing practices, refund procedures, and mandatory rules.

Where the marketplace controls the transaction or refund decision, Members may be required to submit requests directly to that provider.

CBL cannot override mandatory marketplace decisions applicable to transactions processed by the marketplace.


29. INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER RIGHTS

Members outside the United States may possess mandatory consumer rights under local law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive rights that cannot legally be waived.

This includes, where applicable, rights available to consumers in the:

  • European Union;
  • European Economic Area;
  • United Kingdom;
  • Switzerland; and
  • other jurisdictions providing mandatory digital-service or subscription protections.

Where a statutory withdrawal or cancellation right applies, CBL will administer that right according to applicable law.

Where permitted by law, a consumer who expressly requests that Services begin during a statutory withdrawal period may be responsible for an appropriate proportion of Services already supplied.


30. TAXES

Prices may exclude applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.

CBL or its payment providers may collect sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar taxes when legally required.


31. ACCOUNT INVESTIGATIONS

CBL may investigate suspected violations involving:

  • safety;
  • fraud;
  • identity;
  • criminal-history eligibility;
  • sexual misconduct;
  • harassment;
  • trafficking;
  • financial exploitation;
  • relationship-status misrepresentation;
  • payment abuse;
  • platform manipulation; or
  • other material violations.

CBL may temporarily restrict functionality while conducting a reasonable investigation where appropriate.


32. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

CBL may warn, restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts when reasonably necessary to:

  • enforce these Terms;
  • protect Members;
  • prevent fraud;
  • address illegal activity;
  • respond to credible safety concerns;
  • comply with law;
  • respond to lawful governmental requests;
  • protect CBL’s systems; or
  • address material misuse of the Services.

Serious violations may result in immediate permanent termination.

Examples include serious sexual misconduct, trafficking, credible threats of serious violence, serious fraud, exploitation, or circumvention of a permanent ban.

Where required by applicable law, CBL will provide applicable notice or appeal rights.


33. APPEALS AND CORRECTION OF ERRORS

CBL may provide a process through which Members can request review of certain enforcement decisions.

CBL may request identity verification or supporting documentation.

Where an eligibility determination resulted from inaccurate information, mistaken identity, or legally protected information, CBL may review and correct the decision as appropriate.

An appeal does not guarantee reinstatement.


34. MEMBER INTERACTIONS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Dating involves interactions with people whom CBL does not control.

CBL cannot guarantee the:

  • identity;
  • intentions;
  • statements;
  • relationship status;
  • background;
  • health;
  • conduct;
  • compatibility; or
  • safety

of any Member.

Members are responsible for deciding whether, when, and how to communicate with or meet another person.

CBL strongly encourages Members to follow its Safety Guidelines.


35. OFF-PLATFORM INTERACTIONS

CBL does not control interactions occurring after Members communicate or meet outside CBL.

However, where permitted by law, CBL may consider credible reports concerning serious off-platform conduct between Members when determining whether continued platform access presents a material safety concern.


36. NO GUARANTEE OF MEMBER SCREENING

The presence of a Member on CBL does not constitute an endorsement, certification, background clearance, or representation that the Member is safe.

No screening process can identify every potential risk.

CBL encourages Members to use independent judgment and reasonable safety precautions.


37. CYBERSECURITY AND INFORMATION SECURITY

CBL recognizes the importance of protecting Member information.

CBL will maintain administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards that CBL determines are reasonably appropriate to the nature of the Services, information processed, and applicable legal requirements.

Such safeguards may include, as appropriate:

  • access controls;
  • authentication safeguards;
  • encryption;
  • system monitoring;
  • vulnerability management;
  • malware protection;
  • security logging;
  • vendor-security practices;
  • incident-response procedures;
  • backup and recovery controls; and
  • employee or contractor access restrictions.

No information system is completely secure.

CBL therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, cyberattack, service disruption, or data loss will never occur.


38. SECURITY INCIDENTS AND DATA BREACHES

CBL will maintain procedures for identifying, investigating, containing, remediating, and documenting material security incidents.

When CBL determines that a security incident requires notification under applicable law, CBL will provide legally required notifications to affected individuals, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties within applicable timeframes.

CBL may delay notification where legally permitted or required, including where requested by law enforcement.


39. MEMBER SECURITY RESPONSIBILITIES

Members must not:

  • attempt unauthorized system access;
  • introduce malware;
  • probe or scan systems without authorization;
  • bypass security controls;
  • scrape restricted information;
  • conduct denial-of-service attacks;
  • compromise another Member’s account;
  • harvest credentials;
  • exploit vulnerabilities; or
  • interfere with CBL’s infrastructure.

Members should promptly report suspected account compromise or platform vulnerabilities through CBL’s designated security or support channel.


40. PRIVACY

CBL’s collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information is described in the CBL Privacy Policy and applicable supplemental privacy notices.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference where legally permitted.


41. CONSUMER HEALTH DATA

Certain wellness-related information may qualify as consumer health data under applicable state or other privacy laws.

Where applicable, CBL will process such information in accordance with its Consumer Health Data Statement and applicable law.

CBL will not characterize a Mental Wellness Commitment Badge as a clinical diagnosis or medical determination.


42. GDPR AND INTERNATIONAL DATA PROTECTION

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation, UK GDPR, or comparable law applies, CBL will provide applicable information concerning:

  • categories of personal data processed;
  • purposes of processing;
  • lawful bases;
  • data recipients;
  • international transfers;
  • retention;
  • individual rights;
  • automated processing where legally required; and
  • contact and complaint procedures.

Applicable rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and rights concerning certain automated decisions.

These rights are subject to applicable legal limitations.


43. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

CBL does not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

Services may be unavailable because of:

  • maintenance;
  • upgrades;
  • security incidents;
  • vendor failures;
  • internet outages;
  • force majeure events;
  • governmental requirements; or
  • other operational circumstances.

CBL may modify, add, remove, or discontinue features subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.


44. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

CBL may integrate third-party services including payment processors, identity-verification providers, video or communications providers, cloud infrastructure, customer-support systems, analytics services, and cybersecurity providers.

Third parties may maintain their own terms and privacy policies.

CBL is not responsible for independent third-party services beyond responsibility imposed by applicable law.


45. DISCLAIMERS

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

CBL DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES THAT MAY LEGALLY BE DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

CBL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT:

  • THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE;
  • EVERY PROFILE IS ACCURATE;
  • EVERY MEMBER IS SAFE;
  • EVERY MEMBER HAS BEEN SCREENED;
  • A MEMBER WILL RECEIVE MATCHES;
  • COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION WILL BE ACCURATE;
  • A RELATIONSHIP WILL RESULT; OR
  • THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE.

Nothing in this section excludes warranties that cannot legally be excluded.


46. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CBL AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES.

Any monetary liability cap should be stated in CBL’s final attorney-approved version of these Terms and tailored to applicable federal, state, and international consumer laws.

CBL will not use this provision to exclude liability that applicable law prohibits CBL from excluding or limiting.


47. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless CBL and its applicable affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims arising from:

  • your unlawful use of the Services;
  • your Member Content;
  • your material breach of these Terms; or
  • your infringement of another person’s rights.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from CBL’s own conduct for which indemnification cannot legally be required.


48. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

CBL intends to establish a clear procedure for resolving disputes efficiently and fairly.

Before filing certain legal proceedings, CBL may require Members and CBL to attempt informal resolution by providing written notice describing the dispute and requested relief.

Any binding arbitration provision, jury-trial waiver, class-action waiver, mass-arbitration procedure, small-claims exception, opt-out procedure, and governing-law clause should be finalized by CBL’s licensed attorney before publication.

CBL will not impose a dispute-resolution provision that violates applicable consumer law.


49. GOVERNING LAW

The governing law and forum applicable to CBL should be identified based upon CBL’s final state of organization, principal place of business, operational structure, and counsel’s advice.

Mandatory consumer protections applicable to a Member’s jurisdiction remain applicable where they cannot lawfully be waived.


50. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

CBL may update these Terms from time to time.

Where required by law, CBL will provide notice before material changes become effective.

Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance where legally permitted.

Where affirmative consent is legally required, CBL will obtain it.


51. ASSIGNMENT

Members may not assign their rights or obligations under these Terms without CBL’s written consent.

CBL may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.


52. SEVERABILITY

If a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The invalid provision will be interpreted, modified, or severed as required by applicable law.


53. NO WAIVER

Failure by CBL to enforce a provision on one occasion does not constitute a permanent waiver of that provision or CBL’s right to enforce it later.


54. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and policies expressly incorporated into them constitute the agreement between CBL and the Member concerning the Services, except for additional terms expressly applicable to particular products or transactions.


55. SURVIVAL

Provisions that by their nature should survive account termination—including provisions concerning intellectual property, payment obligations, dispute resolution, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and accrued rights—will survive to the extent permitted by law.

IMPORTANT PRE-LAUNCH LEGAL REVIEW

This Terms of Service document is intended to provide CBL with a comprehensive working framework. It should be reviewed and finalized by licensed counsel before public launch.

Counsel should specifically review:

Dating-service statutes. Several jurisdictions impose special cancellation, disclosure, contract-duration, death, disability, and refund requirements on dating services.

Automatic renewal. Subscription enrollment, renewal notices, cancellation mechanisms, and checkout disclosures should be reviewed against the laws applicable when CBL launches.

Criminal-history screening. Counsel should review CBL’s intended use of criminal records, sex-offender registries, identity-verification providers, consumer reporting agencies, and adverse-action procedures in every jurisdiction where screening will occur.

Privacy and consumer health data. The TOS should be cross-checked against CBL’s Privacy Policy, Consumer Health Data Statement, state privacy notices, GDPR/UK GDPR disclosures, and vendor contracts.

International consumer rights. Refund and withdrawal provisions should be localized before CBL begins actively offering paid Services outside the United States.

Arbitration and class-action provisions. CBL should not simply copy another dating company’s arbitration language. Counsel should construct a dispute-resolution provision specifically for CBL’s corporate structure, jurisdictions, risk profile, and then-current law.

Liability cap. Counsel should determine an appropriate monetary limitation and jurisdiction-specific exceptions.

App-store distribution. Apple App Store and Google Play terms should be incorporated into CBL’s launch compliance review if the mobile application is distributed through those marketplaces.
