TERMS OF CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
Last updated April 21, 2026
AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS
We are Friendli Dating and Introduction Platform (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our“), a company registered in North Carolina, United States at 105 Autumn Court, Rocky Mount, NC 27804.
We operate the website http://www.friend-li.com (the “Site“), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the “Legal Terms“) (collectively, the “Services“).
Friendli is a valued-driven, friendship-curated progressive dating and introduction web application. The platform emphasizes trust and accountability as its foundational features, ensuring that interactions are guided by integrity and reliability.
After completing their profiles, candidates participate in the Pay-to-Progress process. This involves purchasing a subscription, which unlocks the next tier of features and interactions. These premium features include access to chat, a date planner, the friendship portal, and other advanced tools designed to enrich the user experience and facilitate meaningful connections.
Friendli operates on a Free-to-Start model. Upon registration, users are required to provide their name, email address, and set up a password to log in. After completing registration, each user receives two complimentary Vouch Cards. These cards can be used either to vouch for others in the role of a Wingmate or to seek connections for themselves. Registered members also can receive, and view vouch invitations sent to them. When a user decides to subscribe, they will be able to create a full universal account, unlocking additional features and access within the platform.
Friendli offers four distinct entry paths for user accounts, each designed to accommodate different intentions and relationship goals within the platform. These roles provide flexibility and clarity for users as they engage with the service. Users will have different onboarding experiences depending on how they enter. Some roles require invitation
Codes to onboard potential candidates.
This system ensures that new users are brought into the platform through trusted connections, reinforcing Friendli’s emphasis on accountability and trust.
The Seeker is the core user of Friendli, actively looking for love and romantic connections. This path is intended for individuals who wish to be matched with potential partners and participate fully in the dating aspect of the platform.
The Seeker completes a full dating profile to include; but not limited to preferences, safety and consent settings, friend-invite options, permissions for vouching, and matching visibility options. The Seeker has control over what friends see, which vouches become public, and who can recommend candidates to them.
The Wingmate serves as a mutual friend, acting as a connector who brings two people together. Wingmates facilitate introductions and help expand the network of connections by vouching for friends or acquaintances.
The Wingmate does not need full date onboarding. The Wingmate will receive a private invite link from the Seeker to vouch for them. The Wingmate cannot see chats, cannot message candidates after a match, cannot see match outcomes, and cannot browse user databases.
The Candidate is the invited person or potential date. This role allows individuals to join the platform upon receiving an invitation, providing them with the opportunity to explore matches and participate in Friendli’s curated introduction process.
The Candidate should feel invited personally, they will accept or decline an invitation. The Candidate cannot browse user profiles until they are fully signed up.
If a Candidate accepts a vouch invitation, the Candidate will be required to complete profile information to include but not limited to name, photo, and consent. The Candidate can see profile information and can chat with a user once they accept a match invitation.
The Friend and Companion path is for individuals seeking friendship or companionship rather than romantic relationships. These users are welcomed into the platform to build meaningful connections without expectation of dating.
The Friend/Companion does not need full dating onboarding. They can vouch on their own or ask a Wingmate to vouch for them. The Friend/Companion will have access to the chat feature once they accept a match.
Once two candidates have matched, they are provided with multiple ways to introduce themselves during the initial stages of interaction. Matched candidates may choose to create a voice introduction, allowing for a more personal and authentic presentation. Alternatively, they can utilize the platform’s AI agent to generate an introduction summary on their behalf.
If the AI agent is selected to formulate the introduction, it will generate a concise summary—limited to 30 words—highlighting the key reasons for the match in a “why you two” format. This summary is designed to quickly present the unique compatibility between the matched candidates.
Before the introduction is shared, both candidates will have the opportunity to review the AI-generated summary. The platform enables candidates to either edit, accept, or reject the AI’s introduction, ensuring they have control over how their profiles are presented to each other.
When two candidates successfully match, they transition into “Cupid Mode.” In this mode, both matched candidates are required to complete a full profile, ensuring that all necessary information is provided for future interactions and enhanced matchmaking.
While in cupid mode, the user will trigger the Chat feature. Once a user accepts a match, and starts chatting with a potential match candidate, the user will not be able to chat with multiple candidates at the same time. If a user declines a match invitation, the user will be directed out of “Cupid Mode” and can optionally explain why they declined the match. The user can seek on their own (self-vouch) or forward their vouch card to the Friendli Repository (a screen that contains candidates who self-vouch or declined previous vouches, but who wants to remain open to other potential candidates.
To ensure authenticity and to foster a trustworthy environment within the Friendli platform, users who participate as Seekers, Candidates, or Friends/Companions must upload three verified photographs as part of their account setup process.
Photo verification is not mandatory for Wingmates; photos are optional for this role. Candidates may upload minimal photos at first and complete the photo requirement upon full sign-up.
All users have access to a range of account settings, including the ability to delete their own account, export data, convert their role, manage notification settings, and opt for photo uploads as desired.
The Friendli platform offers a range of advanced features designed to enhance the user experience. These include Chat, Friendship Portal, AI Date Planner, GPS Safety Tracking, SOS Emergency Support, and Global Vouch. Each feature contributes to a richer and more interactive environment for users seeking meaningful connections.
Access to advanced features varies depending on the user’s subscription level. Premium subscribers are able to use select advanced features, while Elite subscribers enjoy access to all platform features without restrictions. Standard membership holders may choose to add advanced features individually or purchase a “One Time Day Pass” to unlock the Chat feature for a limited period.
All user profile information is securely stored in Friendli’s database, ensuring the integrity and privacy of user data within the platform.

Counter Notification
If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Services as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Counter Notification”).

If you send us a valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive notice from the party filing the Notification informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question. Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. Filing a false Counter Notification constitutes perjury.

Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in United States, North Carolina with no jury. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Halifax, North Carolina, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

It outlines Friendli’s approach to protecting consumer health related and personal data consistent with applicable U.S. federal privacy obligations and, where relevant, principles contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its implementing regulations.
HIPAA Applicability Notice
Friendli is not a covered entity or business associate as defined by HIPAA and therefore is not directly subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule or Security Rule. However, Friendli voluntarily adopts security and data protection measures that mirror HIPAA’s key privacy safeguards, including access controls, minimum necessary data use, authentication standards, and audit logging. If Friendli partners with any service provider, research institution, or third-party offering services that require HIPAA protected data, that partner shall bear responsibility for full HIPAA compliance under applicable Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).
Federal Compliance Framework
Friendli’s data protection and privacy program aligns with the core principles established under the following federal frameworks: (a) Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, Section 5, prohibiting unfair or deceptive practices in handling consumer data; (b) Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), ensuring that Friendli does not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18 years of age; (c) Health Breach Notification Rule (16 C.F.R. § 318), which may apply to certain health related apps and wellness services managing personal health records; and (d) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Privacy Framework, emphasizing data minimization, encryption, and risk based controls. Friendli also adopts elements of federal data transparency guidelines to ensure clear consent, lawful basis for data use, and user ability to access, correct, and delete information in compliance with evolving state federal privacy standards.
Security Controls and Safeguards
Friendli applies strong encryption for data in transit and at rest consistent with NIST SP 800 53 and HIPAA Technical Safeguard frameworks. Access to consumer data is restricted to authorized personnel with legitimate business need and subject to multi factor authentication. Regular vulnerability testing and third-party audits are performed to ensure the resilience and confidentiality of user data.
Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach involving personal or health related information that could reasonably result in harm to users, Friendli will provide timely notifications consistent with the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule and any applicable state data breach laws, including those of North Carolina. Notifications will describe the nature of the breach, affected data categories, steps taken to mitigate harm, and recommendations for user protection.
Data Ethics and Transparency
Friendli is committed to ethical data stewardship, ensuring that personal and health related data are never sold, disclosed, or shared with third parties for profit or behavioral advertising without explicit, informed consent. User data is processed with respect for individual privacy choices, dignity, and fairness, aligning with emerging digital ethics principles recommended for social and health adjacent technologies info.dateabilityapp.com.
Oversight and Implementation Friendli’s Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) and Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversee compliance with federal and state privacy policies, employee data handling training, and routine policy reviews. All Friendli personnel are required to complete annual privacy and security training designed to reinforce compliance with both HIPAA aligned security principles and FTC data protection guidance.

Friendli reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement agencies or regulators if required to address or investigate unauthorized use of the platform by minors.
