Terms of Service

The terms that govern use of Okcupid, including eligibility, acceptable use, content ownership and liability.

Please read these terms before using the service. They set out the basis on which the site is made available to you.

  1. These terms govern your access to and use of Okcupid at okcupidlive.com, and apply each time you open the site or begin a conversation with a companion.
  2. By using Okcupid you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these terms.
  3. Okcupid provides written entertainment: fictional companions for conversation, collaborative storytelling and general company. It is not a dating service, an introduction service, or a directory of real individuals.
  4. Every companion, name, profile, biography and portrait presented on the site is invented. No companion represents, depicts or is intended to resemble any real person, living or otherwise.
  5. The service does not provide medical, psychological, legal, financial or emergency advice. Nothing generated in a conversation should be relied upon as professional guidance of any kind.
  6. If you are in distress or facing an emergency, contact a qualified professional or your local emergency service. Companion conversations are not a crisis resource.
  7. You agree to use the service lawfully and not to submit content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, defamatory, or that sexualises minors in any way. Such use terminates your right to access the service immediately.
  8. You agree not to attempt to elicit explicit sexual content, illegal instruction, or material that violates the published content standards of the service.
  9. You agree not to interfere with the operation of the site, including automated scraping, denial of service, credential stuffing, or attempts to bypass access controls.
  10. You are responsible for the content you submit and for ensuring that you hold the necessary rights to any material you paste into a conversation.
  11. All text, layout, code, imagery, character names and character writing on Okcupid remain the property of the operator and are protected by applicable intellectual property law.
  12. You may quote short extracts of published pages for review or commentary with attribution. Bulk reproduction, resale or republication of profiles, portraits or written material is prohibited.
  13. Conversation output is generated automatically and may be inaccurate, inconsistent or unsuitable for your purposes. No warranty is given as to accuracy, originality or fitness for a particular use.
  14. The operator may add, modify, suspend or withdraw companions, pages and features at any time without prior notice.
  15. The service may be unavailable during maintenance or as a result of circumstances outside the operator’s reasonable control, and no guarantee of continuous availability is made.
  16. Where the site links to third-party destinations, those destinations are governed by their own terms and privacy practices, and the operator accepts no responsibility for their content.
  17. Any paid features, where offered, are described at the point of purchase, and the terms presented there apply in addition to these terms.
  18. The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  19. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profit, goodwill or opportunity.
  20. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, total aggregate liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for access in the preceding three months or fifty euro.
  21. You agree to indemnify the operator against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the service.
  22. Personal information is handled as described in the privacy policy published on this site, which forms part of these terms by reference.
  23. The operator may suspend or terminate access without notice where these terms are breached or where continued access presents a risk to the service or to other users.
  24. You may stop using the service at any time. Clauses concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability and indemnity survive termination.
  25. These terms may be updated. The revised version takes effect when published on this page, and continued use after publication constitutes acceptance.
  26. If any clause is found unenforceable, the remaining clauses continue in full force and the unenforceable clause is applied to the maximum extent permitted.
  27. Failure to enforce a provision of these terms does not amount to a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
  28. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the operator regarding the service and supersede any earlier understanding.
  29. These terms are governed by the laws applicable at the operator’s place of establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of its competent courts.
  30. Questions about these terms may be sent to hello@okcupidlive.com, and we aim to reply within two working days.
