Terms of Service

Effective: May 27, 2026  ·  Last Updated: April 29, 2026  ·  hello@yourdategenie.com

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

1.1 Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or accessing Your Date Genie (the "Service")—whether via the iOS app or the web application at yourdategenie.com—you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy (available at yourdategenie.com/privacy-policy). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1.2 Age Requirement

You must be at least 17 years old to use the Service. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately if we discover you are under 17.

1.3 Entity

Your Date Genie LLC (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Service. These Terms are entered into between you and the entity operating the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. The Service

2.1 Description

Your Date Genie is an AI-powered date-planning assistant. The Service helps you:

  • Generate personalized date plan itineraries based on your preferences (location, vibe, food preferences, dietary restrictions, budget, special occasions, transportation, and dealbreakers).
  • View 3 date plan options for each request, including venue recommendations, timeline, estimated duration, and budget.
  • Create supplementary content: conversation starters, gift suggestions, and curated Spotify playlists.
  • Save, organize, and archive date plans in a "Memory Gallery."
  • Invite a partner to co-plan using the "Partner Planning" feature (see Section 5).
  • Access your saved plans and memories across devices via Supabase sync.

The Service is a suggestion tool only. We do not make bookings, reservations, or purchases on your behalf. You are responsible for verifying all information and making all reservations directly with venues or service providers.

2.2 AI-Generated Content & Accuracy Disclaimer

Date plans, conversation starters, gift suggestions, and playlists are generated by large language models (currently OpenAI GPT-4 family models). We make no guarantee of accuracy, suitability, or outcome.

Specific risks you should be aware of:

  • Venue Information May Be Outdated or Incorrect. Restaurants, bars, and venues close, change hours, relocate, or modify pricing without notice. Always verify directly with the venue before traveling or making reservations. Hours, prices, availability, and dietary accommodations listed in our suggestions may be inaccurate or stale.
  • AI May Hallucinate. The AI may suggest venues that do not exist, have wrong addresses, or are permanently closed. This is a known limitation of large language models.
  • Generated Content Is Not Personalized Enough. Even though you provided preferences, the AI may not have interpreted them correctly. Suggestions may not match your actual dietary needs, accessibility requirements, budget, or partner preferences.
  • Gift and Conversation Suggestions May Be Inappropriate. We do not vet generated gift or conversation suggestions for relevance, appropriateness, or safety. You are solely responsible for reviewing and vetting all suggestions before acting on them or sharing them with your partner.
  • We Are Not Responsible for Date Outcomes. We do not guarantee the quality of your date experience, your partner's reaction, venue quality, food quality, or any romantic or social outcome.

In short: treat our suggestions as a starting point for your own research, not as definitive information.

2.3 Third-Party Services and Links

The Service integrates with third-party providers, including but not limited to:

  • OpenAI — generates date plans and supplementary content
  • Google Places API — provides venue data, addresses, and location information
  • Spotify — playlist embedding and links
  • Apple StoreKit 2 — subscription billing (iOS)
  • Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage
  • Apple Maps — directions and map integration

Your use of these third-party services is governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies, which we do not control. We are not responsible for third-party service failures, data breaches, or changes in their policies.

2.4 Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or geographically universal access to the Service. We may temporarily suspend or disable the Service for:

  • Scheduled maintenance
  • Emergency repairs
  • Security incidents
  • Capacity constraints
  • Reasons beyond our reasonable control (force majeure)

We will attempt to provide advance notice of planned outages via in-app notification or email, but we make no commitment to do so.

2.5 Beta or Limited Features

Certain features may be marked as "beta," "experimental," or "limited." These features may be unstable, incomplete, or subject to change or removal without notice.

3. Subscriptions & Payments

3.1 Free Tier

The Service includes free features. Free users can generate 1 date plan per month with 1 option and limited access to gift suggestions and conversation starters. Free tier features and limits may change at our discretion.

3.2.1 Pricing and Plans

Premium features require a paid subscription. Premium pricing is:

  • Annual Plan: $49.99/year (USD)

3.2.2 Free Trial

  • Duration: 7 days
  • Starts: Upon purchase confirmation

Auto-renewal occurs automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. 3. Charges are applied to your Apple ID at the start of each billing period (not your credit card directly; Apple handles all billing). 4. The price may increase with 30 days' notice. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new price. 5. Apple handles all payments. We do not store, process, or have access to your payment card details. All billing inquiries go to Apple, not to us.

To manage or cancel your subscription:

  • iOS: Open Settings → [Your Apple ID] → Subscriptions → Select "Your Date Genie" → Tap "Cancel Subscription"

To request a refund:

1. Visit https://reportaproblem.apple.com (US/global) 2. Report the transaction and explain your reason 3. Apple reviews and responds within 1–2 business days

We do not issue refunds directly. If your refund request is denied by Apple, we cannot override it. Please contact Apple Support for assistance.

3.4 No Refunds for Account Deletion

If you delete your account while subscribed to Premium, you are not entitled to a refund of any prepaid subscription fees, even if you delete your account before the billing period ends. The only exception is Apple's 15-day refund window (see Section 3.3).

4. User Conduct & Acceptable Use

4.1 Unlawful Use

Use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable federal, state, or local laws and regulations, including laws regarding privacy, intellectual property, and consumer protection.

  • Fake Partner Profiles: Do not create or use Partner Planning invites with fake or unauthorized partner profiles, or invite another person to partner-plan without their informed consent.

  • Legal action if the violation involves criminal conduct, fraud, or damages to us or third parties

5. Partner Planning & Consent

5.1 What Is Partner Planning?

The "Partner Planning" feature allows two users to co-create and compare date plans. You can invite a partner via unique invite link; upon acceptance, you both can:

  • View each other's preferences (in limited form)
  • See the same 3 date plan options
  • Independently rank and vote on options
  • Reveal your mutual top choice

5.2 Consent & Honesty

You represent that any person you invite to Partner Planning has given you informed consent to participate. This means:

  • You have disclosed that you are inviting them to use a date-planning app
  • They understand their preferences and email will be shared (limited) with you
  • They are using the feature voluntarily, not under coercion or deception

You must not use Partner Planning to:

  • Invite another person without their knowledge
  • Collect data about another person without consent
  • Plan a "surprise date" and secretly input their preferences as if they were your own
  • Share their personal information with other parties

If Partner Planning is misused to deceive or manipulate another person, that may constitute fraud, harassment, or stalking under applicable law, and we reserve the right to terminate your account.

5.3 Data Sharing in Partner Planning

When you invite a partner:

  • Your partner must sign up or log in with their own account
  • A temporary Partner Planning session is created and linked to both accounts
  • Your partner sees a summary of your preferences (e.g., "restaurant type," "vibe," "budget," not your name or email)
  • Both of you see the same 3 generated date plans
  • Your full email and profile name are visible only to your partner during the session

This data is stored in Supabase and deleted 90 days after the Partner Planning session ends (or upon request via account deletion).

The disclaimers and limitations in this Section 8 are an essential part of this agreement. You acknowledge that we would not offer the Service at its current price or terms without these limitations on our liability. Your failure to understand or accept these limitations may indicate the Service is not suitable for your needs.

  • Your violation of any third-party rights
  • Your User Content or any content you submit
  • Your use of AI-generated suggestions in a manner that causes harm (e.g., planning a date to deceive or manipulate someone, or using suggestions to harass another person)

10. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

10.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. ### 10.2 Informal Resolution (Mandatory 30-Day Period)

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by sending a written notice to hello@yourdategenie.com describing:

  • The nature of the dispute
  • The relief you seek
  • Your good-faith proposed resolution

We will respond within 30 days. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days. This requirement applies to all disputes, except those seeking emergency injunctive relief (see Section 10.5).

10.3 Binding Arbitration (US Users)

For users in the United States: any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be settled by final and binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules, administered by AAA, rather than in court.

10.3.1 Arbitration Rules

  • One Arbitrator: disputes will be decided by a single neutral arbitrator
  • Location: arbitration will be held in your county of residence or online (your choice) unless you and we mutually agree otherwise
  • Costs: we will pay all AAA administration fees and arbitrator fees exceeding what you would pay to file a lawsuit. You pay any attorney's fees you incur.
  • Discovery: discovery will be limited to what is necessary to resolve the dispute
  • Award: the arbitrator will issue a written award with findings of fact and conclusions of law
  • Judicial Review: arbitration awards are subject to very limited judicial review

10.3.2 Class Waiver

You and we mutually agree that any arbitration is conducted on an individual, not a class basis. You waive the right to:

  • Participate in any class action, class arbitration, or representative action against us
  • Consolidate claims with other claimants
  • Assert claims on a class or collective basis

This class waiver is a material inducement for us to agree to arbitration.

10.3.3 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following disputes are not subject to arbitration and may be brought in court:

  • Claims brought in small claims court (up to your state's limit)
  • Claims for injunctive or equitable relief to prevent irreparable harm, misappropriation of trade secrets, or breach of confidentiality (these may be pursued in court while arbitration proceeds on other claims)
  • Claims that cannot be subject to arbitration under applicable law

10.4 EU/EEA Users

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where arbitration waivers are unenforceable or prohibited, nothing in these Terms limits your right to:

  • Bring claims before your local courts
  • Seek recourse with your national or regional data protection authority (e.g., the Irish Data Protection Commission)
  • Access alternative dispute resolution mechanisms available in your country

10.5 Emergency Equitable Relief

Either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, misappropriation of trade secrets, or violation of intellectual property rights, even while arbitration or informal resolution is pending.

  • You must cease all use of the Service and delete the app

  • In-app notification displayed upon launch, or
  • Email to your registered email address

Material changes take effect at least 14 days after notice. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must delete your account and stop using the Service.

13. Miscellaneous

13.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy (yourdategenie.com/privacy-policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions.

13.3 Waiver
