While using our Services, you will have access to: (i) content that you upload or provide while using our Services, even if suggested by our Services ("Your Content"); (ii) content that other users upload or provide while using our Services ("Member Content"); and (iii) content that Sheger provides on and through our Services ("Our Content").

For more information on how we moderate content, please see our Safety page for more details. For more information on how recommended profiles are ordered, please see the Method Behind our Matching.

3a. YOUR CONTENT

You are responsible for Your Content. Don't share anything that you wouldn't want others to see, that would violate this Agreement, or that may expose you or us to legal liability.
You are solely responsible and liable for Your Content, and, therefore, you agree to indemnify, defend, release, and hold us harmless from any claims made in connection with Your Content.
You represent and warrant to us that the information you provide to us or any other user is accurate, including any information submitted through Facebook or other third-party sources (if applicable), and that you will update your account information as necessary to ensure its accuracy.
The content included on your individual profile should be relevant to the intended use of our Services. You may not upload any Prohibited Content, and your content must further comply with the Community Guidelines. You may not display any personal contact, banking information, or peer-to-peer payment information, whether in relation to you or any other person (for example, names, home addresses or postcodes, telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, credit/debit card, peer-to-peer payment user name, or other banking details). If you choose to reveal any personal information about yourself to other users, you do so at your own risk. We strongly encourage you to use caution in disclosing any personal information online.

We may provide tools and features to enhance individual expression through Your Content and Member Content (described in Section 3b), and we’re constantly developing new technologies to improve our Services. Certain tools or features may allow you to generate or enhance content based on Your Content.

Be careful in choosing and sharing Your Content.
You understand and agree that we may monitor or review Your Content, and we have the right to remove, delete, edit, limit, or block or prevent access to any of Your Content at any time at our sole discretion.

This license and any authorization to access the Service are automatically revoked in the event that you fail to comply with these Terms.

7. RIGHTS YOU GRANT SHEGER

You own all the content you provide to Sheger, but you also grant us the right to use Your Content as provided in this Agreement.
By creating an account, you grant to Sheger a worldwide, perpetual, transferable, sub- licensable, royalty-free right and license to host, store, use, copy, display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, translate, modify, reformat, incorporate into other works, advertise, distribute and otherwise make available to the general public Your Content, including any information you authorize us to access from Facebook or other third- party sources (if applicable), in whole or in part, and in any way and in any format or medium currently known or developed in the future. Sheger's license to Your Content shall be non-exclusive, except that Sheger's license shall be exclusive with respect to derivative works created through use of our Services. For example, Sheger would have an exclusive license to screenshots of our Services that include Your Content.
In addition, so that Sheger can prevent the use of Your Content outside of our Services, you authorize Sheger to act on your behalf with respect to infringing uses of Your Content taken from our Services by other users or third parties. This expressly includes the authority, but not the obligation, to send notices pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) (i.e., DMCA Takedown Notices) on your behalf if Your Content is taken and used by third parties outside of our Services. Sheger is not obligated to take any action with regard to use of Your Content by other users or third parties. Sheger's license to Your Content is subject to your rights under applicable law (for example, laws regarding personal data protection to the extent the content contains personal information as defined by those laws).
In consideration of Sheger allowing you to use our Services, you agree that we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on our Services.

8. PURCHASES AND AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SUBSCRIPTIONS

You will have the opportunity to purchase products and services from Sheger. If you purchase a subscription, it will automatically renew - and you will be charged - until you cancel.
Sheger may offer products and services for purchase through iTunes, Google Play, or other external services authorized by Sheger (each, an "External Service," and any purchases made thereon, an "External Service Purchase"). Sheger may also offer products and services for purchase via credit card or other payment processors on the Website or inside the App ("Internal Purchases"). If you purchase a subscription, it will automatically renew until you cancel, in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase, as further described below. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to your subscription benefits until the end of your subscription period, at which point it will expire.
Because our Services may be utilized without a subscription, canceling your subscription does not remove your profile from our Services. If you wish to fully terminate your account, you must terminate your account as set forth in Section 9.

9. ACCOUNT TERMINATION

If you no longer wish to use our Services, or if we terminate your account for any reason, here's what you need to know.
You can delete your account at any time by logging into the Website or App, going to "Settings", clicking "Delete Account", and following the instructions to complete the deletion process. However, you will need to cancel / manage any External Service Purchases through your External Service Account (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional billing.
Sheger reserves the right to investigate and, if appropriate, suspend or terminate your account without a refund if Sheger believes that you have violated these Terms, misused our Services, or behaved in a way that Sheger regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off our Services. We reserve the right to make use of any personal, technological, legal, or other means available to enforce the Terms, at any time without liability and without the obligation to give you prior notice, including, but not limited to, preventing you from accessing the Services.
If your account is terminated by you or by Sheger for any reason, these Terms continue and remain enforceable between you and Sheger, and you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases made. Your information will be maintained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

10. Account Modifications and Suspension

Users are required to provide accurate information and real photos for verification purposes. Accounts with inaccurate information may be subject to suspension.

11. NO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND OR IDENTITY VERIFICATION CHECKS

Sheger does not conduct criminal background or identity verification checks on its users.

IF THE COMPANY DECIDES TO CONDUCT ANY SCREENING THROUGH A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY, YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY TO OBTAIN AND USE A CONSUMER REPORT ABOUT YOU TO DETERMINE YOUR ELIGIBILITY UNDER THESE TERMS.
