CORE TERMS OF USE PROVISIONS

No ownership in Virtual Items is transferred to you; it’s a limited license. They don’t hold real-world monetary value, are non-refundable, and may be modified or discontinued at any time.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Date Night’s liability is limited.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES
We, our affiliates, employees, licensors, or service providers shall not be liable for indirect, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages—such as loss of profits, data, or goodwill—arising from:
- Your use or inability to use the Services;
- Any conduct/content of other users or third parties;
- Unauthorized access or changes to your content.
If, despite these provisions, Date Night is found liable, our aggregate liability is capped at the greater of:
(A) $100 USD or (B) the total amount you paid to Date Night over the 24 months preceding your claim.
Some jurisdictions disallow limitations of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION
This section outlines the process if you have a legal dispute with Date Night, except where prohibited by law.
Note: Certain subsections may not apply to users in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland if local law prohibits them.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
If you’re dissatisfied, please contact Date Night Customer Service first. We value good-faith efforts to resolve concerns before escalating.
- Definition of Dispute: Any claim or controversy arising under these Terms or your relationship with Date Night—even if it arose before you accepted these Terms.
- Notice: Before filing arbitration or small claims, send a Notice to: Contact@datenight.com
- Include your full name, account info (screenshots if needed), contact details, and a description of your dispute/relief sought, with a calculation of damages if any. You must personally sign the Notice.
We’ll do the same if we have a dispute with you. Parties then negotiate in good faith for 60 days. If unresolved, either party may proceed with arbitration or small claims (unless it concerns sexual assault or harassment).
This process is a condition precedent to arbitration or small claims court (except for sexual assault/harassment claims).
INDIVIDUAL RELIEF: CLASS ACTION & JURY TRIAL WAIVER
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT allowed by law, both you and Date Night waive:
- Right to a jury trial
- Right to class or collective actions
All disputes must be arbitrated (or, where applicable, in small claims court) individually. The arbitrator cannot award relief on behalf of non-parties. If this class waiver is deemed unenforceable for a specific claim (e.g., public injunctive relief), that claim proceeds in court while the remaining claims remain in arbitration.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION THROUGH ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT
Any dispute not resolved informally shall be exclusively settled by binding individual arbitration, except:
- Small Claims: Either party can elect small claims court for individual claims.
- Sexual Assault/Harassment: Individual claims may be brought
- If small claims is requested post-filing but pre-arbitrator assignment, the arbitration is administratively closed.
If the arbitration agreement is deemed unenforceable, litigation can only occur in the United Kingdom (except where local law mandates otherwise).
FUTURE CHANGES & RETROACTIVE APPLICATION
These Dispute Resolution terms apply to all disputes (past, present, future). You may opt out of retroactive application within 30 days of consenting by writing to Date Night Corp Ltd
Henleaze House Business Centre
13 Harbury Road, Henleaze
Bristol
BS9 4PN (include your account ID and statement). Even if you opt out, you remain bound by previous arbitration agreements or class waivers you agreed to in prior versions.
GOVERNING LAW
To the fullest extent permissible:
- The Laws of the United Kingom apply, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
- The same laws govern the arbitration process.
- If you reside in the EU/EEA, mandatory consumer protection laws in your country may override the choice of UK Law.
INDEMNITY BY YOU
By using our Services, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Date Night (including affiliates and employees) from any claims, damages, or losses arising out of:
- Your use of the Services
- Your Content posted or shared
- Interactions or disputes with other users

Some jurisdictions may limit indemnity clauses; such limits will apply accordingly.

- You’ve read, understand, and accept these Terms

- If any portion of these Terms is deemed invalid, the rest remains in effect.
- The failure of Date Night to enforce a right is not a waiver.
- Your account is non-transferable, and rights to it end at death unless otherwise required by law.
