These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Enki Studios LLC ("Enki Studios", "we", "us" or "our") about your use of AskCupid, including the AskCupid app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, the website at askcupidai.com and its free tools (together, the "Service").
By creating an account, buying a subscription or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and confirm that you've read our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
Please read section 16 carefully. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual binding arbitration instead of in court, which means you and we each give up the right to sue in court and to have a judge or jury decide the dispute. It also waives class actions. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days, as explained there.
AskCupid is an AI dating coach. It helps you write replies, read the signals in a conversation, keep track of the people you're talking to, and prepare for dates with tools such as Decode a text, Rank my photos, Outfit check, Glow check, Tan check, Bio rewrite and Openers.
AskCupid is not:
The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate replies, suggestions, scores, ratings, "interest" estimates and other results ("AI Output").
People you meet online or through dating apps may not be who they say they are. Enki Studios isn't responsible for the conduct of anyone you communicate with or meet, online or offline. When you meet someone, meet in public, tell a friend where you'll be, arrange your own transportation, and trust your instincts. AskCupid's advice isn't a safety check.
"Your Content" means everything you submit to the Service, including messages, screenshots, photos, text, onboarding answers, people profiles, notes and reminders.
The Service lets you share information about people you're talking to or dating, such as their messages, photos, profile screenshots and details. When you do, you agree that:
You're responsible for any claim arising from information about other people that you share. We may delete information about another person if they ask us to and the law requires or allows it.
You agree not to:
We may apply reasonable usage limits, such as a daily number of messages or tool runs, to keep the Service available for everyone. Limits may change.
Some features require a paid subscription ("Premium").
The Service, including the app, website, software, designs, text, graphics, logos, prompts and the AskCupid name, is owned by Enki Studios or its licensors and protected by law. Subject to these Terms, we give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
If you send us ideas or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without any obligation to you.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our copyright agent at shri@openspeechai.com or at our mailing address in section 20. Include: your contact details; a description of the copyrighted work; a description of the content and where it is on the Service; a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized by the owner, its agent or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you're the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove the content, and we'll end the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Third-party services. The Service relies on third-party services, such as Apple, Google, our payment providers and our AI providers, and may link to other websites or apps. We don't control third-party services and aren't responsible for them, and your use of them may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
Suspension and termination.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all AI Output are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We don't warrant that the Service will meet your needs, that AI Output will be accurate or appropriate, or that any content will be kept without loss.
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
These limits apply to every theory of liability, including contract, tort (including negligence), statutory claims and product liability, and they apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits (a) liability for our fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) any other liability, or any right you have under consumer protection law, that by law can't be excluded, limited or waived.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Enki Studios and its owners, officers, employees and agents from any third-party claim, and any related losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees), arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content, including information about other people that you share with us; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or of anyone else's rights; or (d) your misuse of the Service or AI Output, including messages you send to other people. This doesn't apply to the extent the claim is caused by our own breach of these Terms, negligence or misconduct. We may take over the defense of any claim you must indemnify, and you won't settle any such claim without our written consent.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll post the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. If a change is material, we'll let you know in the app, by email or on our website before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after the change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, stop using the Service and cancel your subscription. Changes won't apply to a dispute that arose before the change. Changes to section 16 are also subject to section 16.8.
Before either of us starts an arbitration or a small claims case, the party with the claim must send the other a written notice of the dispute. Your notice must include your name, the email address on your account, a description of the dispute and the relief you want, and it must be personally signed by you, even if a lawyer is helping you. Send it to shri@openspeechai.com or to our mailing address in section 20. We'll send our notice to the email address on your account. For 60 days after the notice is received, you and we will try in good faith to resolve the dispute, which may include an individual phone or video call if either of us asks for one. Any statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadline are paused during this period. If the dispute isn't resolved within 60 days, either party may start a claim as described below.
Except as described in section 16.3, you and Enki Studios agree that any dispute, claim or controversy between you and Enki Studios arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, including claims that arose before you accepted these Terms ("Dispute"), will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, and not in court. This means that you and Enki Studios are each giving up the right to sue in court and to have a judge or jury decide the Dispute.
In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury, decides the Dispute. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit, it has more limited discovery, and a court's review of the arbitrator's decision is very limited. The arbitrator can award the same individual damages and relief that a court could, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent needed for that party's individual claim.
The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the claim is large enough to require them, and the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses: Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness, all as in effect when the arbitration starts and available at jamsadr.com. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration may be held by video, phone or written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or another place we agree on. You'll pay no more than the consumer filing fee that JAMS's rules allow, and we'll pay all other JAMS administrative fees and the arbitrator's fees. If JAMS is unavailable or declines to administer a Dispute, you and we will agree on another arbitration provider that applies consumer due-process standards, or, if we can't agree, a court will appoint an arbitrator under 9 U.S.C. section 5. If no arbitrator can be appointed, the Dispute will be decided by a court as described in section 17.
The arbitrator, and not any court, has exclusive authority to decide all questions about the interpretation, applicability, scope, enforceability and formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court decides (a) any question about section 16.4, (b) whether a claim qualifies for small claims court and (c) any question about section 16.7.
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either party may ask a court for an injunction to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
You and Enki Studios each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. If this class waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must be decided by a court, not an arbitrator, and the rest of this section still applies to other claims. If a court decides that the law doesn't allow a request for public injunctive relief (relief whose main purpose is to stop unlawful acts that threaten the general public) to be limited as described in this section, that request must be decided by a court in the county where you live, after the individual claims are decided in arbitration, and the court case will be paused until then.
You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing shri@openspeechai.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms (or this version of them, if you accepted an earlier version), with your name, the email on your account and a clear statement that you're opting out of arbitration. If you opt out, sections 16.2 to 16.4 and 16.7 don't apply to you, but the rest of these Terms, including sections 16.1 and 17, still do.
If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, sections 16.2 to 16.8 don't apply to you, and you can bring a claim in the courts where you live. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability to you for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
If 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against us or by us, using the same or coordinated lawyers or organizations, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and JAMS's related fee schedule will apply. You and we agree that JAMS may administer those cases in batches, and that each claim will still be decided individually. Any statute of limitations for a claim that is waiting to be administered is paused until the claim is administered.
If we make a material change to this section 16, you can reject it by emailing us within 30 days after the change takes effect. If you do, the version of this section you last accepted will continue to apply to you.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For any Dispute that isn't subject to arbitration, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Hudson County, New Jersey, unless the law of the place where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. If you live outside the United States, you may also have the benefit of mandatory consumer protection laws of your country.
If you downloaded AskCupid from Apple's App Store, these additional terms apply. Where Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the app, these Terms add to it.
