Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of ondatingjournal.com. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use On Dating Journal.

The site is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], registered under company number [COMPANY NUMBER], with its registered address at [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to that company, and “you” refers to anyone using the site.

On Dating Journal is for adults only

On Dating Journal is intended for people aged 18 and over. The dating apps and AI companion services we cover are, in almost every case, restricted to adults. By using the site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.

Information, not advice

Everything on On Dating Journal is published for general information. Our reviews, rankings, research and news are editorial opinion and analysis based on information we have verified, as described on our how we review page. They are not personal advice about relationships, mental health, legal matters, finances or safety, and they do not take account of your individual circumstances.

You should not rely on our content as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. If you are worried about your safety, contact your local emergency services or a relevant support organisation.

No guarantee of outcomes

We cannot promise that any dating app, service or approach we write about will lead to a match, a date or a relationship. Experiences vary enormously from person to person, and no publication can predict them.

We work to keep our content accurate, but dating services change their features, prices and policies often. Prices in particular vary by country, age and promotion. Always check the latest terms on a provider’s own website before you sign up or pay. If you spot an error, our editorial policy explains how to report it.

Third-party websites and services

On Dating Journal links to many websites we do not control, including dating apps, AI companion services, regulators and sources we cite. Some of these links are affiliate links, as explained in our affiliate disclosure.

A link does not mean we endorse everything on the destination site. We are not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices or conduct of third-party sites, nor for any contract you enter into with them. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy. Please read them, and take care when meeting anyone in person who you have met online.

Your use of the site

You agree to use On Dating Journal lawfully and not to:

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers or any connected systems;
• introduce viruses, malicious code or anything else designed to disrupt the site;
• scrape, copy or harvest content or data in bulk by automated means without our written permission;
• use the site to harass, defame or impersonate anyone.

Where comments are open, you are responsible for what you post. Comments must not be unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexually explicit, misleading or promotional, and must not include anyone’s personal information without their consent. We may edit or remove any comment, and we may restrict access for anyone who breaches these terms.

Copyright and intellectual property

The articles, design, logos, graphics and other material on On Dating Journal belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You may view, print or share links to our pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link to the original article. Any other copying, republication or commercial use requires our written permission. Trade marks of the dating apps and other companies we mention belong to their respective owners.

Limits on our liability

We provide On Dating Journal free of charge and on an “as is” basis. We do not guarantee that the site will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or any content on it, or from your use of any third-party website or service we link to. This includes indirect or consequential loss, loss of data and loss of profit.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

Privacy and cookies

How we handle personal data is set out in our privacy policy and cookie policy, which form part of these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the country in which [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] is registered, and the courts of that country have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of any mandatory rules of the law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts there.
