Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 2.13.2026

Welcome to Skip!

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Skip app, owned and operated by Skip Dating, Inc. (“Skip,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Skip app or any associated services (the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Safety Policy, Child Safety Standards Policy, and all other applicable policies. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.

‍

Definitions used in Skip

*Skip’s Definitions: “Ghosting” means a user stops replying in chat, leaving the other person without clarity on whether things are continuing. “Bots” means automated chat messages not sent by a real person. “Unsolicited pics or D*ck pics” means photos sent in chat without consent, often inappropriate. Skip does not offer in-app chat, so these issues do not occur within Skip.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Skip, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Safety Policy, and all other applicable policies. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. License to Use the App

Skip grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with these Terms. You may not:

• Republish, sell, rent, sub-license, or reproduce content from Skip;
• Copy, modify, or distribute the content without express permission from us;
• Use the app for illegal purposes or violate applicable laws.

3. User-Generated Content

You may post comments, photos, or other content (“User Content”) on the app. You agree that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to all User Content you post;
• Your User Content does not violate any laws, infringe intellectual property rights, or contain harmful or offensive material;
• You grant Skip a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, display, and distribute your User Content for the purpose of operating and improving the app.

We reserve the right to monitor and remove User Content that violates our Community Guidelines or is deemed offensive or inappropriate.

4. Prohibited Conduct

When using the Skip app, you agree to:

• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations;
• Refrain from engaging in any activity that may harm, harass, or intimidate other users;
• Not engage in illegal activities, such as fraud, impersonation, or solicitation, through the app.

Violating these provisions may result in suspension or termination of your access to the app.

5. Linking to the App

You may not link to Skip’s website or app in a way that misleads users or suggests false associations with Skip. If you wish to link to our app, you must adhere to the guidelines and obtain our written approval.

6. Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. By using our Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in our Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully to understand how we collect and use your personal data.

7. Third-Party Content

Skip may contain links to third-party websites or services. These links are provided for convenience, and we do not control or endorse the content of these third-party sites. You access third-party content at your own risk, and Skip is not responsible for any damages caused by such content.

8. Background Checks and Screening

• Requiring a background check is optional.
• If a match requires it, completing it is required to proceed with that date.
• Anyone can run their own background check from Settings.
• Who can require a background check depends on match type and the user’s selected experience.
• In woman seeking man matches, women may require men to complete a background check before progressing a date, men cannot require a background check from women in this match type.
• In other match types, the ability to require a match to complete a background check is available only to users who choose the “screen others” experience.
• Background checks do not verify identity or guarantee safety.
• You agree to provide accurate information for any background check you initiate or complete, and you agree not to misuse any background check related information (including sharing it, posting it, or using it to harass, threaten, or discriminate).
• Validity, access, and rechecks
  
  • If you complete a background check and receive a “passed” status, Skip may treat that status as valid for up to 12 months. Skip may require a new background check at any time (for example, after the validity period ends, if you update key information, if fraud is suspected, or if required by law or our providers).
  • If you do not pass the background check, your account may be disabled. You may request another background check after 12 months, and if you pass then, your account may be reactivated. If you believe there was an error, you may submit an appeal.
• Identity Review
  
  • Skip may offer an optional identity review feature. If you choose to complete identity review, you authorize Skip to collect and review images of your government issued ID and other photos you provide for comparison. Skip may compare your ID photo and identifying details against your profile information and photos, including live photos, to help detect impersonation and fraud. Identity review is not a guarantee of identity, does not guarantee safety, and may be unavailable, delayed, or denied in Skip’s discretion. If you do not complete identity review, certain features may be unavailable.

• Badges
  
  • A “passed” badge indicates that a user received a “passed” status from a background check at a point in time. It does not verify identity and does not guarantee safety.
• Fees and refunds
  
  • Background check fees are non refundable, except where required by law.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

• No Warranty: Skip provides the app and Services "as is" and does not guarantee that the app will be error-free or available at all times.
• Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skip shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, including but not limited to personal injury, loss of data, or financial loss.
• Skip does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of background check information, or any user’s identity or conduct.

10. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes between you and Skip arising from these Terms will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis only. You and Skip waive any right to bring or participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. Unless you and Skip agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in Delaware, and Delaware law will govern this arbitration provision to the extent permitted by law. If you wish to opt out of arbitration, you must send a written notice to info@skip.dating within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name, your Skip account email or phone number, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. Nothing in these Terms prevents Skip from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property or to prevent misuse of the Services.

11. Changes to Terms

Skip reserves the right to modify or update these Terms at any time. You will be notified of any material changes through the app or via email. By continuing to use the app after changes are posted, you agree to the updated Terms.

12. Termination

Skip may suspend or terminate your access to the app at any time if you violate these Terms or if we believe your actions may harm the app or other users.

13. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Skip app, including trademarks, logos, and content, are owned by Skip or its licensors. You may not use these intellectual property assets without our permission.

14. Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where Skip Dating, Inc. is incorporated, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
