Terms of Service

These Terms of Service are a contract between you and Velvet ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use Velvet.

To use Velvet, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher.
• Be legally allowed to use a service like this where you live.
• Not have been convicted of, or be required to register as a sex offender for, any sex crime or violent crime.
• Not have had a Velvet account removed by us before.

One account per person. You may not create an account for someone else.

Keep your password private. You are responsible for everything that happens on your account. Tell us right away at support@velvetfun.app if you think someone else has access to it. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.

Velvet only works if members can trust each other. You agree that you will not:

• Lie about your identity, age, photos, or situation, or pretend to be someone else.
• Harass, threaten, stalk, bully, intimidate, or abuse anyone.
• Post or send nudity, sexually explicit content, hate speech, or violent content.
• Post photos of anyone else without their permission, or any photo of a minor.
• Ask for or share someone's money, financial details, or passwords, or try to scam anyone.
• Advertise, sell, recruit, or send spam, links, or chain messages.
• Share another member's messages, photos, or personal information outside Velvet without their consent.
• Scrape, copy, or collect data from the site, use bots, or try to get around our security, limits, or paywall.
• Use Velvet for anything illegal.

Velvet is a dating site. It is not an escort service. You may not use it to offer, ask for, arrange, or advertise sex or sexual acts in exchange for money, gifts, or anything else of value. That includes prostitution, escorting, "pay per meet" arrangements, and sex trafficking.

Accounts that do this are removed immediately and permanently, and we will cooperate with law enforcement where the law requires it. If you see it, please report the profile.

You own the photos, text, and messages you post. By posting them, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and process them only so we can run Velvet for you, for example showing your profile to other members and delivering your messages. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep for a limited time by law or for safety reasons.

You confirm that you have the right to post everything you post, and that it follows these terms. We may remove any content that breaks these terms.

Creating an account is free. Women have full access for free. Men can browse a limited number of profiles each day for free, and need a Lifetime Membership to read and send messages.

• One-time price. Lifetime Membership is a single payment of $79. It is not a subscription and never renews or charges you again.
• "Lifetime" means the life of your account while Velvet operates. It ends if you delete your account or if we remove your account for breaking these terms. It cannot be transferred to anyone else.
• Crypto only. Payments are made in cryptocurrency through third-party payment providers. If you buy crypto with a card at checkout, that purchase is between you and the provider, under their terms. We never see or store your card or wallet details.
• Refunds. Because crypto payments can't be reversed and membership is unlocked right away, all payments are final and non-refundable, except where the law requires otherwise. If you were charged in error, email support@velvetfun.app and we will look into it.
• Network fees. You are responsible for any blockchain network fees, and for sending the correct amount to the correct address.

We may change prices or features for new purchases. That will never take away a Lifetime Membership you already paid for.

We do not run criminal background checks on members. We verify women's profiles, but we can't guarantee anyone's identity, intentions, or behavior. You are responsible for your own interactions with other members, online and in person.

• Meet in a public place for the first time and tell a friend where you'll be.
• Never send money or financial information to someone you met online.
• Use block and report whenever something feels wrong.

If you are ever in danger, contact local emergency services first.

We may suspend or remove any account, remove content, or limit access at any time if we believe someone has broken these terms, put other members at risk, or exposed us to legal liability. Where it is safe and lawful to do so, we'll tell you why. If your account is removed for breaking these terms, you are not entitled to a refund.

The Velvet name, logo, design, and software belong to us. You may use the site for your own personal, non-commercial dating purposes. You may not copy, modify, resell, or build a competing service from any part of it.

Velvet is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises that the site will always be available or error-free, that you will meet anyone, or about the accuracy of what members post. We are not responsible for the conduct of any member, on or off the site.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Velvet will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the site or your interactions with other members. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

If someone brings a claim against us because of your content, your conduct, or your breaking these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs, including legal fees, to the extent the law allows.

If you have a problem with Velvet, email support@velvetfun.app first. Most issues can be solved quickly that way, and we'll try in good faith for at least 30 days. If we can't resolve it, either of us may bring the claim in small claims court or another court with jurisdiction. Claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class action, to the extent the law allows.

We may update these terms from time to time. If we do, we'll change the effective date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we'll let you know by email or a notice on the site before they take effect. If you keep using Velvet after that, you accept the new terms.

These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part right away, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later. You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours if Velvet is sold or reorganized.
