Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using DateScout ("datescout.us"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.

2. Description of Service

DateScout is an informational website that provides dating app reviews, comparisons, city-specific dating guides, and editorial content. We are not a dating service and do not facilitate matches, introductions, or communication between users. Our content is for informational and entertainment purposes only.

3. Affiliate Links and Monetization

DateScout contains affiliate links, including links formatted as "/go/" redirects, that direct you to third-party dating apps and services. When you click these links and sign up for or purchase a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help fund our editorial operations and keep our content free.

Our editorial content is independent of our affiliate relationships. We review and recommend products based on our own research and evaluation, regardless of whether we receive compensation. See our Affiliate Disclaimer for full details.

4. Content Accuracy

We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about dating apps, pricing, features, and city-specific data. However, dating app features, pricing, and policies change frequently. We cannot guarantee that all information on our site is current at all times. Always verify pricing and features directly with the dating app or service before making a purchase decision.

5. User Conduct

You agree not to use DateScout for any unlawful purpose, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, to scrape or copy our content without permission, or to interfere with the operation of our website. We reserve the right to restrict access to anyone who violates these terms.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on DateScout — including text, graphics, logos, comparisons, and original analysis — is the property of DateScout and is protected by copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or republish any content without our prior written consent. Brief excerpts for non-commercial use with proper attribution are permitted.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of service of any third-party sites. Clicking an affiliate link or any external link takes you to a site governed by its own policies. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

8. Limitation of Liability

DateScout is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our website, reliance on our content, or interactions with third-party services linked from our site. Your use of any dating app or service is at your own risk.
