Welcome to Ratio Dating, operated by Ratio Dating, Inc. (“us,” “we,” the “Company” “Ratio Dating” or simply “Ratio”). Together you and Ratio Dating may be referred to as the “Parties” or separately as “Party.”


1. Acceptance of Terms of Use Agreement.

By creating a Ratio account or by using any Ratio service, whether through a mobile device, mobile application or computer (collectively, the “Service”) you agree to be bound by (i) these Terms of Use, (ii) our Privacy Policy, Safety Tips, and Community Guidelines, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement, and (iii) any terms disclosed to you if you purchase or have purchased additional features, products or services we offer on the Service (collectively, this “Agreement”). If you do not accept and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, you should not access or use the Service.


We may make changes to this Agreement and to the Service from time to time. We may do this for a variety of reasons including to reflect changes in or requirements of the law, new features, or changes in business practices. The most recent version of this Agreement will be posted on the Service under Settings, with the most recent version being the version that applies. If the changes include material changes to your rights or obligations, we will notify you in advance of the changes (unless we’re unable to do so under applicable law) by reasonable means, which could include notification through the Service or via email. If you continue to use the Service after the changes become effective, then you agree to the revised Agreement. You agree that this Agreement shall supersede any prior agreements (except as specifically stated herein), and shall govern your entire relationship with Ratio, including but not limited to events, agreements, and conduct preceding your acceptance of this Agreement.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on Ratio and use the Service. By creating an account and using the Service, you represent and warrant that:
you can form a binding contract with Ratio,

3. Your Account.

In order to use Ratio, you sign up using your personal phone number and email address. For more information regarding the information we collect from you and how we use it, please consult our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials you use to sign up for Ratio, and you are solely responsible for all activities that occur under those credentials. If you think someone has gained access to your account, please immediately contact us.


4. Modifying the Service and Termination.
Ratio is always striving to improve the Service and bring you additional functionality that you will find engaging and useful. This means we may add new product features or enhancements from time to time as well as remove some features, and if these actions do not materially affect your rights or obligations, we may not provide you with notice before taking them. We may even suspend the Service entirely, in which event we will notify you in advance unless extenuating circumstances, such as safety or security concerns, prevent us from doing so.
You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions in “Settings” in the Service. Ratio may terminate your account at any time without notice if it believes that you have violated this Agreement. Upon such termination, you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases. After your account is terminated, this Agreement will terminate, except that the following provisions will still apply to you and Ratio: Section 4, Section 5, and Sections 12 through 19.


5. Safety; Your Interactions with Other Members.

You agree to treat other users in a courteous and respectful manner, both on and off our Services and to be respectful when communicating with any of our customer care representatives or other employees. Though Ratio strives to encourage a respectful member experience through features like the double opt-in that allows members to communicate only after they have both indicated interest in one another, Ratio is not responsible for the conduct of any member on or off of the Service. You agree to use caution in all interactions with other members, particularly if you decide to communicate off the Service or meet in person. In addition, you agree to review and follow Ratio’s Safety Tips prior to using the Service. You agree that you will not provide your financial information (for example, your credit card or bank account information), or wire or otherwise send money to other members.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members. You understand that ratio does not conduct criminal background checks on its members or otherwise inquire into the background of its members. Ratio makes no representations or warranties as to the conduct or compatibility of members. Ratio reserves the right to conduct – and you authorize Ratio to conduct – any criminal background check or other screenings (such as sex offender register searches) at any time using available public records obtained by it or with the assistance of a consumer reporting agency, and you agree that any information you provide may be used for that purpose.

Ratio’s license to your Content shall be non-exclusive, except that Ratio’s license shall be exclusive with respect to derivative works created through use of the Service. For example, Ratio would have an exclusive license to screenshots of the Service that include your Content. In addition, so that Ratio can prevent the use of your Content outside of the Service, you authorize Ratio to act on your behalf with respect to infringing uses of your Content taken from the Service by other members or third parties. This expressly includes the authority, but not the obligation, to send notices pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) (i.e., DMCA Takedown Notices) on your behalf if your Content is taken and used by third parties outside of the Service. Our license to your Content is subject to your rights under applicable law (for example laws regarding personal data protection to the extent any Content contains personal information as defined by those laws) and is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, and improving the Service and researching and developing new ones. You agree that any Content you place or that you authorize us to place on the Service may be viewed by other members and may be viewed by any person visiting or participating in the Service (such as individuals who may receive shared Content from other Ratio members).
You agree that all information that you submit upon creation of your account, including information submitted from your Facebook account, is accurate and truthful and you have the right to post the Content on the Service and grant the license to Ratio above.
You understand and agree that we may monitor or review any Content you post as part of the Service. We may delete any Content, in whole or in part, that in our sole judgment violates this Agreement or may harm the reputation of the Service.
When communicating with our customer care representatives, you agree to be respectful and kind. If we feel that your behavior towards any of our customer care representatives or other employees is at any time threatening, harassing, or offensive, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account.
In consideration for Ratio allowing you to use the Service, you agree that we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on the Service. By submitting suggestions or feedback to Ratio regarding our Service, you agree that Ratio may use and share such feedback for any purpose without compensating you.
You agree that Ratio may access, store, and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law, by performing its agreement with you, or in a good faith belief that such access, storage or disclosure satisfies a legitimate interest, including to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce the Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of the Company or any other person.

If you see Content on the Service that violates this Agreement, please report it within the Service or via our contact emails.


10. Disclaimers.
