Widow Singles Terms and Conditions

Accepting These Terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Widow Singles. They apply whenever you visit our website, create an account, or use the Widow Singles app. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.

You accept these terms when you create an account, tap a button to join, or keep using the service after reading them. The terms work together with our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. Those documents explain how information and cookies are handled, and they are part of the overall agreement.

The Widow Singles app is distributed through the Apple App Store, and the store has its own terms that apply to your download and purchases. If those store terms and these terms ever conflict on a store matter, the store terms decide that matter.

Who Can Use Widow Singles

Widow Singles is for adults who are at least 18 years old. The service was created with widowed people in mind, and single adults who share similar life experiences are welcome too.

To use the service, you must meet all of these conditions:

• You are 18 years of age or older.
• You are legally able to enter into an agreement where you live.
• You are looking to meet other adults for companionship, conversation or romance.
• You have not been removed from Widow Singles before for breaking these terms.

Each person may keep one personal account. Please do not open accounts on behalf of someone else, and do not create a second account to avoid a suspension. If we learn that someone under 18 has joined, we will close the account.

Your Account and Responsibilities

Your account is personal to you, and you are responsible for what happens in it. A few simple habits keep it safe and keep the community trustworthy.

Be accurate about who you are

Give truthful information when you sign up and keep it up to date. Your name, age, location and description should describe you honestly. The photos you upload must show you, and they should be recent enough that another member would recognize you in person.

Keep your login details private

Choose a password that is hard to guess and do not share it. If you think someone else has used your account, change your password and contact us using the details at the end of these terms.

You are responsible for your activity

Anything done through your account is treated as your action, unless you told us promptly that your login details were compromised. You are also responsible for your own device, internet connection and any fees charged by your phone or internet provider.

What Are the Rules for Using a Dating Site Like Widow Singles?

The basic rules are to be honest, be respectful and use the service for its intended purpose, which is meeting other adults in good faith. Everything else in these terms builds on those three ideas.

• Be honest. Present yourself truthfully in your profile and in your conversations.
• Be respectful. Treat every member with courtesy, including when you are not interested. A polite "no, thank you" is always acceptable.
• Use the service for personal dating. Widow Singles is for individuals looking for connection, not for business, advertising or recruiting.
• Respect boundaries. If someone stops replying or asks you to stop, stop. Do not keep contacting them.
• Follow the law. Do not use the service for anything illegal where you live or where the other person lives.

Prohibited Conduct

The behavior below harms members and is not allowed on Widow Singles. This is not a complete list, and we may act on other conduct that puts members at risk or damages their trust in the service.

• Creating a fake profile, using someone else's photos or identity, or pretending to be a person you are not.
• Running or attempting a scam of any kind, including romance scams.
• Asking other members for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, loans or investments.
• Harassing, threatening, stalking, bullying or shaming another member.
• Posting hateful, discriminatory or abusive content.
• Sending explicit images or making sexual solicitations to members who have not asked for them.
• Promoting products, services, websites or events, or collecting members for a business.
• Allowing anyone under 18 to use the service, or contacting a minor.
• Using bots, scripts or other automated tools to scrape profiles, send messages or create accounts.
• Sending spam, chain messages or repeated unwanted contact.
• Trying to break, overload or gain unauthorized access to the service.

Premium Upgrades and Billing

You can browse and set up a profile without making a purchase, but some features may require a paid upgrade. Unlimited messaging, for example, is part of Premium. We want you to know this before you join, so you are never surprised later.

• Clear information first. Prices, the length of any subscription and the features included are shown to you before you buy.
• Store-managed payments. Purchases made in the app are charged through your app store account, and the store handles payment and any renewals.
• You stay in control. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your app store account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals, but it does not usually refund a period you have already paid for.
• Refund requests. Because the store processes the payment, refund requests for in-app purchases may need to go through the store. You can also write to us using the contact details below.

Features included in Premium may change over time. Please review the options in the app carefully before you buy.

Content You Share

"Your content" means the photos, text, profile answers and messages you add to Widow Singles. You keep ownership of your content. You are also responsible for it.

To run the service, we need permission to show your content. By posting it, you give Widow Singles a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, display and transmit your content within the website and app, so that other members can see your profile and receive your messages. This license ends when your content is deleted or your account is closed, except where copies must remain for a short time in backups or where other members already received your messages.

Only share content that you own or have the right to share. Do not upload photos of other people without their permission. We may remove any content that breaks these terms, and we may do so without notice when it is needed to protect members. Please also remember that other members may see what you post on your profile, so share only what you are comfortable with.

Our Intellectual Property

The Widow Singles name, logo, design, text, graphics and software belong to us or our licensors, and they are protected by intellectual property laws. The Widow Singles app is published on the Apple App Store by Online Connections, Inc.

We give you a personal, limited, non-transferable permission to use the website and app for their intended purpose. You may not copy, sell, reverse engineer, modify or create copies of any part of the service, or use our name and logo, without our written permission.

Interacting With Other Members

Widow Singles gives you a place to meet people, but we cannot guarantee who someone really is or what they intend. You are responsible for your own choices when you talk to or meet another member.

Please use good judgment. Keep personal and financial details private until you have built trust, never send money to someone you have not met in person, and choose a public place for a first meeting. Our dating safety tips explain these steps in more detail. Widow Singles is not responsible for the conduct of members, whether online or in person, but we do want to hear about problems so we can take action.

Suspension and Termination

You can close your account at any time. If you have a paid subscription, cancel it in your app store account as well, since deleting the app does not always stop billing.

We may suspend or close an account, with or without warning, when we believe that:

• the account breaks these terms or our prohibited conduct rules;
• the profile is fake, misleading or belongs to a minor;
• the account puts other members at risk, or the law requires us to act; or
• the account has been misused or compromised.

After an account is closed, your profile will no longer be shown to other members. We may keep some information for a limited time where needed for safety, legal or record-keeping reasons, as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections of these terms that by their nature should continue, such as those on intellectual property and liability, will remain in effect.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Widow Singles is provided "as is" and "as available." We work to keep the website and app running smoothly, but we cannot promise that they will always be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.

We also cannot promise any particular result. Using Widow Singles does not guarantee that you will meet anyone, make a connection or find a relationship. Profiles are created by members, and we do not promise that all information they provide is accurate.

To the extent the law allows, Widow Singles and its owners, employees and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for losses that come from your interactions with other members, from content posted by others, or from your inability to use the service. Where liability cannot be fully excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the law that cannot be waived.

Changes to These Terms and How to Reach Us

We may update these terms from time to time, for example when features or laws change. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top. If you keep using Widow Singles after an update, that means you accept the revised terms.

For questions about these terms, account issues or refund requests, you can email our customer support team at [email protected]. Please include enough detail for us to find your account, but never include your password or full payment card number.
