Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

By using this website or joining our waitlist, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Additional or replacement terms will apply to the Aiera mobile applications when they are released, and you will be asked to accept them at that point.

2. Eligibility

Aiera is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to join the waitlist or to use the service when it launches. If you are not, please do not use this site.

3. Pre-launch status

Aiera is in active development. Descriptions of features on this website — including profile discovery, relevance scoring, Super Likes, matching, messaging, safety tooling and mobile applications — describe what we are building. They are not commitments that a particular feature will ship, ship in that form, or ship by any particular date. Nothing on this site is an offer of a service that is currently available.

4. Future account requirements

When accounts become available, you will be responsible for the accuracy of the information on your profile, for keeping your credentials secure, and for activity that takes place under your account. We expect to require identity or age assurance appropriate to a dating service. [OWNER REVIEW: confirm the age and identity assurance approach before launch]

5. Appropriate use

You agree not to use Aiera to:

• Harass, threaten, impersonate, defraud or endanger anyone.
• Post unlawful, hateful, sexually exploitative or otherwise abusive content.
• Solicit money, advertise, or use the service for commercial purposes we have not authorized.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, overload or interfere with the service or the systems behind it.
• Create accounts on behalf of someone else without their consent.

6. User content

You keep ownership of the photos, text and other content you provide. To operate the service — to display your profile to other users, generate recommendations, and keep backups — you grant us a limited licence to host, store, reproduce and display that content for those purposes. That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, other than for copies retained for legal or backup reasons for a limited period.

You are responsible for the content you provide, and you confirm you have the right to share it.

7. Dating and social interactions

Aiera helps people find and choose each other. It does not vet, endorse or supervise the people you meet, and interactions that begin on Aiera are your responsibility. Use ordinary caution: meet in public, tell someone where you are going, and do not send money to people you have not met. We intend to provide reporting and blocking tools, but we cannot guarantee anyone’s conduct.

8. AI and recommendation functionality

Aiera uses recommendation technology that draws on profile information, stated preferences and interests, and product interaction signals such as likes, passes and Super Likes. It estimates how relevant an eligible profile may be to you and prioritizes discovery accordingly.

Recommendations are suggestions. They are produced automatically, they can be wrong, and they do not replace your judgement. You decide who to like, match with and communicate with.

9. No guarantee of matches or compatibility

We do not guarantee that you will receive matches, that any recommended profile is compatible with you, that anyone will reply, or that any relationship, date or outcome will result from using Aiera. Any statement on this website about relevance or potential mutual interest describes how our technology ranks profiles, not a promise about people.

10. Intellectual property

The Aiera name, branding, website, applications and underlying software belong to us or our licensors. These terms do not give you any right to use our branding without written permission.

11. Third-party services

Our website and applications rely on third-party infrastructure, and may link to services we do not control. We are not responsible for those services, and their own terms apply to your use of them. Once the mobile applications are published, the applicable app store terms will also apply to your download and use of them.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end access to the website, the waitlist or — once launched — an account, if these terms are breached, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the service. You may leave at any time by unsubscribing from the waitlist or, after launch, deleting your account.

13. Disclaimers

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranties of any kind about the website or any future service, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability.

14. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from your use of the website or from interactions with other people. [OWNER REVIEW: this section needs counsel: liability caps, carve-outs and consumer rights vary significantly by jurisdiction and none is asserted here]

15. Governing law and disputes

[OWNER REVIEW: governing law, venue and any dispute-resolution mechanism are intentionally left blank — they must be set with counsel and must match the registered entity’s jurisdiction]

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Aiera develops. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.
