Him? Terms of Use
Effective date: 1 September 2025
Operator: Him Dating App Ltd ("Him?", "we", "us"). These Terms form a binding agreement with any person who uses the Him? website, mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Platform"). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
1. Defined terms
"User Content" means any information, text, images, audio, video, links, tags, flags, ratings, feedback, messages or other material submitted or transmitted by users. "You/"your" means the person accessing the Platform. "Community Guidelines" means our acceptable‑use rules published on the Platform and updated from time to time.
2. Eligibility; account
You must be 18+ and capable of forming a contract. You will provide accurate information and keep credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may refuse, suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion where reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with law, or enforce these Terms.
3. The Service
Him? provides a women's dating safety and community discussion service enabling users to create posts, comment, tag, flag content, set alerts, and (where available) use private messaging. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any feature without liability.
4. Community Guidelines; prohibited conduct
You will comply with the Community Guidelines. Without limitation, you must not upload: illegal content; CSAM (which is reported to the IWF); nudity/pornographic/sexual content; hate or harassment; doxxing; threats; incitement; fraud; malware; or content that infringes rights, violates privacy, breaches confidence, or is defamatory. You must not impersonate others, interfere with the Platform, or circumvent access controls.
5. User Content; responsibility; no editorial duty
(a) You are solely responsible for your User Content and for any consequences of posting or sharing it.
(b) Him? is a hosting provider of User Content and does not generally pre‑screen or endorse User Content. We may (but are not obliged to) monitor, review, remove, restrict or disable access to User Content at our reasonable discretion, including to comply with law or our policies. Nothing in this clause limits obligations under the Online Safety Act or other applicable laws.
6. Representations & warranties about your content
You represent and warrant that your User Content: (i) is truthful to your own experience and accurate to the best of your knowledge; (ii) is lawful, not misleading, and does not infringe any rights; (iii) does not identify a person as having committed a crime unless that is true and supported by public records; and (iv) complies with our policies. You acknowledge that opinions must be framed as opinions, not as statements of fact.
7. Licence to Him?
You grant Him? a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free licence to host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, display, adapt, translate, moderate and distribute your User Content for the purpose of operating and improving the Platform, enforcing policies, and complying with legal obligations. This licence continues for archived copies and legal holds. You can delete content subject to legal/safety holds.
8. Moderation; reporting; illegal content
We use technical measures (e.g., hash‑matching such as Microsoft PhotoDNA and IWF Image Intercept) and AI classifiers plus human review to detect illegal or policy‑breaching content. We may remove or restrict content and/or suspend accounts. Confirmed CSAM is blocked and reported to the IWF; we cooperate with law enforcement as required.
9. Defamation; notice‑and‑takedown (UK)
(a) Him? is an "operator of a website" within Defamation Act 2013 s.5. If you believe User Content defames you, please use our Defamation Notice Procedure (Schedule 1). Provided we did not post the statement and we comply with that procedure, including contacting the poster and acting within statutory time limits—we may rely on the operator's defence. We may remove content in our discretion without any admission of liability.
(b) Nothing in this clause prevents us from removing content sooner if it appears unlawful or egregiously harmful.
10. Subscriptions; in‑app purchases; renewal; cancellations; refunds
(a) Certain features are provided via auto‑renewing subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Billing, renewal and refunds are governed by the relevant store terms. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal via your store settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
(b) Where UK consumer law provides a 14‑day withdrawal right for digital services, you acknowledge that you request immediate supply and waive the withdrawal right once performance begins; store rules still apply.
(c) We may change pricing and tiers with reasonable notice; changes apply from the next renewal.
11. Privacy; data security
We process personal data per our Privacy Policy. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures (encryption at rest and in transit; least‑privilege access; pre‑signed URLs; network segmentation; logging; incident response). If a personal‑data breach occurs, we act in accordance with UK GDPR (including ICO notification within 72 hours where required).
12. Third‑party services
The Platform may interoperate with third‑party services (e.g., Supabase, Apple, Google). We are not responsible for third‑party terms or content.
13. Disclaimers; limitation of liability
(a) The Platform is provided "as is". We do not promise error‑free or uninterrupted service. We do not warrant the accuracy or reliability of User Content.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties and limit liability for any indirect or consequential loss.
(c) We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
(d) Subject to (c), our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Platform in any 12‑month period will not exceed the greater of £100 or the amounts paid by you to us in that period.
14. Indemnity by users
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Him? and its officers, employees and contractors from any claims, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Platform, or your breach of these Terms.
15. Suspension; termination
We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with law, or enforce policy. On termination, your right to use the Platform ends immediately; some clauses survive (licences for archival/legal holds, limitations of liability, governing law, disputes).
16. Changes
We may update these Terms; material changes will be notified in‑app or by email. Continued use means acceptance.
17. Governing law; venue
English law governs. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
