Terms of Service

1. Agreement and scope

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and Swift Tech, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company doing business as Freely (“Freely,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern the Freely mobile application, freelydating.com, and every related product, feature, communication, event, and service we provide (collectively, the “Service”).

By visiting the Site, applying for membership, creating an account, purchasing a feature, attending a Freely event, or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Community Guidelines, and Safe Dating Guidance. Additional terms shown at purchase or when a feature is activated also apply. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Freely is an inclusive, members-only dating community for adults seeking honest connections across a range of identities and relationship styles. Admission, profile review, and moderation help protect the community but are not promises about any person or outcome.

2. Eligibility and your representations

You must be at least 18 years old, legally able to enter a contract, and legally permitted to use dating services where you live. By using Freely, you represent that:

• the information you submit is truthful, current, and complete;
• you are not barred from receiving services under applicable law or subject to applicable sanctions;
• you will comply with these Terms and all local, state, national, and international laws;
• you are not required to register as a sex offender and, to the extent permitted by law, have not been convicted of a violent, sexual, exploitation, or serious fraud offense that would make your participation unsafe;
• you will use Freely personally and not on behalf of another person, business, or automated system; and
• you will not attempt to return after suspension or removal without our written permission.

We may request age, identity, or eligibility information. Refusing a required check may prevent or end access.

3. Accounts and account security

You are responsible for activity through your account and for keeping passwords, device access, and verification codes secure. You may not sell, transfer, lend, share, or create an account for another person. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We may use phone, email, device, selfie, photo, or other verification measures, but those measures do not guarantee identity or safety.

You agree to keep profile details accurate, maintain only the number of accounts we permit, and provide information reasonably needed to investigate fraud, abuse, or safety concerns.

4. Membership review and community access

Freely may review applications, profiles, photos, prompts, and conduct for completeness, authenticity, community fit, safety, and policy compliance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we may approve, waitlist, deny, restrict, suspend, or remove an account in our reasonable discretion. We do not make decisions based on protected characteristics, and Freely welcomes adults of every race and ethnicity, LGBTQ+ people, straight people, singles, couples, monogamous and non-monogamous people.

Profile review, waitlisting, and selfie checks are quality and safety measures only. They are not criminal background checks, professional identity checks, or guarantees that information is true.

5. Safety and interactions with others

Freely facilitates introductions but does not control members. We do not routinely conduct criminal background checks or verify every statement, photo, intention, relationship status, or identity. You are solely responsible for your interactions, communications, travel, meetings, consent decisions, and safety precautions.

• Never send money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, financial credentials, or sensitive documents to another member.
• Meet initially in a public place, arrange your own transportation, tell someone you trust, and keep your phone available.
• Stop communicating and use reporting or blocking tools when conduct feels unsafe, deceptive, coercive, or unwanted.
• In an emergency, contact local emergency services first.

Review our Safe Dating Guidance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Freely is not responsible for the acts or omissions of members or other third parties, online or offline.

6. Community rules and prohibited conduct

You must follow our Community Guidelines. You may not:

• harass, threaten, stalk, bully, discriminate against, exploit, coerce, or harm anyone;
• post hate speech, illegal content, nonconsensual intimate content, child sexual abuse or exploitation material, or content promoting violence or trafficking;
• impersonate anyone or misrepresent your age, identity, photos, location, relationship status, intentions, or affiliations;
• use deceptive AI-generated or materially altered media to mislead others;
• solicit money, run romance scams, advertise, recruit, promote commercial sexual services, spam, or send bulk messages;
• share another person’s private information, messages, recordings, or images without authority or consent;
• circumvent blocks, bans, paywalls, security features, or rate limits, or create duplicate accounts to evade enforcement;
• scrape, crawl, index, harvest, monitor, reverse engineer, train AI systems on, or commercially exploit the Service or member data;
• upload malware or interfere with the security, integrity, availability, or operation of the Service; or
• use the Service for any illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or unauthorized purpose.

7. Your content and license to Freely

“User Content” includes profile information, photos, audio, video, prompts, messages, reports, feedback, and other material you submit. You retain ownership of your User Content and are responsible for it. You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed to submit it and that it does not violate law or another person’s rights.

You grant Freely a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, format, translate, display, communicate, and distribute User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, moderate, improve, and provide the Service. For content you make public or visible to other members, the license includes displaying it to the audience you select. If you expressly participate in a promotion or give separate permission, the applicable consent may allow promotional use.

This license continues while your content is maintained for the Service and for a limited period afterward in backups, safety records, legal records, or shared conversations where deletion is not technically or legally feasible. We do not claim ownership of your User Content.

8. Content review, enforcement, and appeals

We may use automated systems and human review to detect fraud, policy violations, unsafe conduct, and prohibited content. We may remove or limit content, reduce visibility, issue warnings, require verification, restrict features, suspend accounts, preserve evidence, or permanently remove users. We cannot review every communication and do not guarantee that all content complies with these Terms.

Where offered, you may appeal through the available support channel. We may request information needed to verify identity or investigate. Enforcement decisions may consider severity, context, history, risk, legal obligations, and community safety.

9. Freely intellectual property

The Service, including its software, source code, databases, design, text, graphics, interfaces, trademarks, logos, and non-user content, is owned by or licensed to Swift Tech, LLC and protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for lawful, noncommercial purposes. No other rights are granted.

You may not copy, sell, sublicense, publicly display, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, decompile, or exploit our content or technology except where law expressly permits despite this restriction.

10. Mobile application license

You may download and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for personal, noncommercial use. You may not reverse engineer, decrypt, modify, rent, lease, sell, distribute, bypass security, remove proprietary notices, or use the App to develop a competing service. Updates may install automatically and may be required for continued use. We are not obligated to maintain any feature or device compatibility indefinitely.

11. Purchases, subscriptions, trials, and virtual items

Prices and payment

Freely may offer subscriptions, one-time purchases, boosts, credits, tokens, or other virtual items (“Paid Services”). Prices, taxes, billing periods, benefits, and material conditions are displayed before purchase. Paid Services do not guarantee matches, messages, compatibility, attention, dates, or relationship outcomes.

Automatic renewal

Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions automatically renew for the disclosed term at the then-current price until canceled. You authorize the applicable app store or payment provider to charge your payment method. Cancel before the renewal date through the platform where you purchased. Deleting the App or your account does not automatically cancel an app-store subscription.

Trials and promotions

A trial or promotional rate converts to a paid subscription when the disclosed period ends unless canceled beforehand. Eligibility and duration may be limited. We may change or end promotions as permitted by law.

Virtual items

Virtual items are limited, personal, revocable license rights, have no cash value, are not property, and may not be transferred or redeemed for money except where law requires. We may manage, modify, or discontinue them, subject to applicable consumer rights.

Cancellation and refunds

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless law or the purchase terms say otherwise. Purchases are generally final and non-refundable except as required by law or the policies of Apple, Google, or another payment platform. Direct refund requests must be submitted to us; app-store refund requests generally must be submitted to the applicable store.

12. Location, device permissions, and features

Some features require location, camera, microphone, photos, contacts, notifications, or other device permissions. You control these through device settings, but disabling them may limit functionality. Location-based discovery can reveal approximate proximity to others. Do not use location features to track, stalk, or infer a person’s precise location.

13. Communications and electronic consent

You consent to receive transactional emails, push notifications, and verification or security text messages needed to operate your account. Message and data rates may apply. Marketing communications are sent only as permitted by law and may be unsubscribed from using the provided controls; you may still receive essential service messages.

Your clicks, in-app actions, and electronic acceptance constitute electronic signatures and records to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14. Third-party services and links

The Service may depend on app stores, payment processors, analytics, hosting, communications, maps, social platforms, or other third parties. Their services and privacy practices are governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or transactions. Links do not imply endorsement.

15. Privacy and data handling

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information. By using the Service, you acknowledge those practices. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

16. Service availability and changes

We may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features, membership access, or the Service. Maintenance, security incidents, network failures, and events outside our control may interrupt access. We do not guarantee continuous availability, particular functionality, member activity, compatibility, or results.

17. Account closure, suspension, and termination

You may stop using Freely and request account deletion through available settings or support. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access, remove content, or prevent re-registration where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users or the Service, investigate misconduct, collect amounts owed, or comply with law. Termination does not automatically cancel external subscriptions.

Provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including intellectual property, licenses needed for retained records, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, dispute resolution, and payment obligations.

18. Copyright complaints and DMCA

If you believe content on the Service infringes copyright, send a notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) to legal@freelydating.com. Identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove material and terminate repeat infringers. Counter-notices must satisfy 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3).

Designated agent: Swift Tech, LLC / Freely, Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

19. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” and your use is at your own risk.

Swift Tech, LLC disclaims express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, security, reliability, and uninterrupted operation. We do not warrant that users are truthful or safe, that content is accurate, or that you will receive matches, communications, dates, or any particular outcome. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so they may not apply to you.

20. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Swift Tech, LLC and its owners, affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages; loss of profits, data, goodwill, or opportunity; or harm arising from another user, an in-person meeting, unauthorized access, content, or service interruption.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Freely during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) US $100. Nothing limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable.

21. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Swift Tech, LLC and its affiliates and personnel from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your User Content, unlawful conduct, misuse of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person’s rights. We may control the defense of a covered claim, and you agree to cooperate.

22. Governing law and dispute resolution

Informal resolution first

Before filing a claim, the complaining party must send an individualized written notice describing the dispute, requested relief, account email or phone number, and supporting facts. Send notices to legal@freelydating.com. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days.

Binding individual arbitration

Except for eligible small-claims matters, requests for public injunctive relief where arbitration cannot lawfully be required, and claims concerning intellectual-property infringement or misuse, any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this provision. Hearings may occur remotely or, when required, in a reasonably convenient location.

You and Freely waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, or representative action to the fullest extent permitted by law. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual claimant.

Opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@freelydating.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Include your full name, account email or phone number, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect other Terms.

Governing law and courts

Georgia law governs these Terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where federal law or mandatory law in your residence controls. If a dispute is not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, unless applicable law requires another forum.

23. Mandatory consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable rights under applicable consumer law. Residents of some jurisdictions may have statutory cancellation, cooling-off, refund, disability, or death-related rights for dating or digital services. Where such law applies, it controls over inconsistent language here. Contact us promptly and identify your jurisdiction and purchase platform.

If you reside in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have a 14-day withdrawal right for certain digital purchases, subject to lawful exceptions and any express request for immediate performance.

24. Apple and Google terms

If you download the App through Apple or Google, the applicable store is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App, support, warranties, claims, or intellectual property matters, except as its own terms require. Your license is limited to permitted devices and usage rules. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the portions of these Terms applicable to an iOS download and may enforce them.

25. General terms

These Terms and incorporated policies are the entire agreement concerning the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or asset transfer. No agency, partnership, employment, fiduciary, or joint venture relationship is created.

You represent that you are not located in an embargoed jurisdiction or on a restricted-party list and will comply with export-control laws. Headings are for convenience. “Including” means “including without limitation.”

We may update these Terms for legal, security, operational, or product reasons. We will post the revised date and provide additional notice when required. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance; if you disagree, stop using the Service.
