Drafting Notice. We present these terms in a relaxed question and answer format for the most part. We do this for your convenience, not ours. By presenting these terms in question and answer format, we do not imply or suggest that they do not form a binding agreement between you and us. These terms are just as binding as if we presented them to you in a stuffy legal format that only people of legal training would understand. 1. Summary of Terms You should read these terms in full because they apply every time you visit the Website. But just in case you ever need a quick reminder of the important points, here’s a summary: • If you are under 18-years old and the age of majority in your community, unfortunately you can’t use the Website yet because it’s a meeting place for adults only. • We’re not responsible for anything that you post or say while you are on the Website, and we don’t monitor the content of the Website, but if we do see or someone tells us that you have posted something that we think is inappropriate, we may remove it. • We do not conduct criminal background screening of our users. To learn about online dating safety, please visit Get Safe Online. • If you post any content that actually belongs to someone else and they get annoyed (or even call in their lawyers), we are not in the firing line.

Can I tell them my login details and let them log on as me? The short answer is no. Only you are authorized to access your account on the Website.

We also recommend that you consider the following online dating safety tips: • Anyone who can commit identity theft can also falsify a dating profile. • There is no substitute for acting with caution when communicating with any stranger who wants to meet you. • Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in your Internet profile or initial email messages. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information or tries in any way to trick you into revealing it. • If you choose to have a face-to-face meeting with another user, always tell someone in your family or a friend where you are going and when you will return. Never agree to be picked up at your home. Always provide your own transportation to and from your date and meet in a public place with many people around.

We will cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or location of anyone posting content or engaging in conduct in breach of these terms. You waive any claims you might have against us—including our affiliates, licensees, and service providers—resulting from any action taken by us during or because of our investigations and from any actions taken because of investigations by either us or law enforcement authorities. 5.4 Can I hold you responsible for the conduct of another user?

After contributing to the Website, you continue to retain any ownership rights that you may have in your contributions, subject to the limited license described in this paragraph. By contributing, you hereby grant us a perpetual, nonexclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, modify, create derivative works of, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, rent, resell, and distribute the contribution through the Website, in all media now known or later created and in any other way in our sole discretion. The license you grant us is nonexclusive (meaning you are free to license your contribution to anyone else besides us); fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that we are not required to pay you for the use of your contribution to the Website); sub-licensable (so that we can use our affiliates, subcontractors, and other partners, including Internet content delivery networks and wireless carriers to provide the services); and worldwide (because the Internet and the Website are global in reach).

No. Except for what you submit to the Website, you do not have any rights to the content on the Website, and you must not use any content in any way that may infringe any other person’s rights. This means that you must not copy, modify, adapt, distribute, publish, or sell any part of the Website or the content contained on it (other than content you submit) to anyone else. You must not remove, obscure, or otherwise alter any proprietary notices appearing on any content, including copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property notices. 7. Paid for services 7.1 What can I buy on the Website? We offer you the opportunity to pay for certain premium services offered on the Website. Our premium services include various opportunities to find and meet additional people, to customize your profile, and to boost your profile so more people find you. You may purchase premium services after you register, and you can subscribe to the premium services for various lengths of time. Once you have paid for any premium services, they are nonrefundable. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made by you using your chosen payment method, we may terminate your account. 7.2 How do I renew my premium services with the Website? If you have requested a premium service, you authorize us to charge your chosen payment method until you cancel the premium service. The fee for our premium services will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month afterwards unless and until you cancel the premium services. If you want to cancel or change your payment method, you can do so by visiting our payment support page at http://www.helphotline.co. Your subscription to the premium services will automatically renew for an additional equivalent period at the price you agreed to until you cancel. You acknowledge that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature. You must provide us accurate information for your billing account. You must promptly update all information to keep your billing account accurate (for example, a change in billing address, card number, or expiration date). You must promptly notify us if your payment method is canceled (including if you lose your card or it is stolen), or if you become aware of a potential breach of security (including an unauthorized disclosure or use of your password). If you don’t provide us any of this information, we will hold you responsible for the fees incurred under your account. You authorize us to obtain updated or replacement expiration dates and card numbers for your credit or debit card as provided by your credit or debit card issuer. 7.3 How do I cancel my premium services with the Website? You may cancel your premium services at any time by visiting our support page at http://www.helphotline.co. You will continue to have access to the premium services through the end of your monthly billing period. 7.4 Can I get a refund if I am not satisfied with the premium services? Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. 7.5 Can I transfer any of my paid for services to another user? No. If you purchase premium services, you must only use these services for yourself and must not transfer (free or as a sale) to or purchase from other users or third persons. We may refuse to honor any paid for services where you have tried to transfer those services to another user or third person or have tried to buy those services from another user or third person. We will only provide paid for services to you if you purchased them directly from us. 8. Entertainment & Fantasy Service 8.1 Will I really hookup using the Website? The Website is a casual dating and social networking website for adults. All profiles are provided for the entertainment of our users. We are not making any guarantee that you will find a date, that you will meet any of our users in person, or that any given person or profile manifested on the Website is available or interested in dating or communicating with you or anyone else. 8.2 Does the Website use virtual or fictitious profiles? Yes, we do for testing and behavioral/social studies. Some of the user profiles posted on this Website are fictitious, and are associated with our “Virtual Profile” (VP) service. We designate these profiles with a written “VP” on the profile details page. Our VP service is part of our efforts to stimulate conversation with users to encourage further and broader participation in all of our Website’s services, including the posting of additional information or pictures to our users’ profiles. • Initial messages from our VP service may be automatically generated with no human involvement, and third-party contractors hired or contracted by us may generate messages or correspondence from then on. The VP service is also intended to proactively monitor user activities and communications to ensure compliance with these terms. • You acknowledge that the information, text, and pictures contained in the VP service profiles do not pertain to any actual person, but are included for entertainment purposes only. Nothing contained in any VP service profile is intended to describe or resemble any real person—living or dead. Any similarity between VP user profile descriptions and any person is purely coincidental. • A single VP may be associated with more than one profile on the Website. You can readily identify and distinguish VP service profiles from user profiles by the VP appearing on each VP profile, and the absence of any “interests” or geographic “location” identifier contained in the VP profile. 8.3 Is there anything else I need to know about the virtual profile feature? On one or more occasions, VP profiles may contact users through computer-generated instant messages or emails to encourage further or broader participation in the Website’s services or to monitor user activity. These messages may be transmitted to multiple recipients at the same time. Messages from VPs will contain the uniform designation “VP” to notify the user that the user has received a message from a VP. You acknowledge that no physical meeting will ever take place between you and the individuals providing our VP service, and that the exchange of messages between you and the VP is for entertainment purposes, as well as to encourage further or broader participation in the Website’s services or to monitor user activities. We do not guarantee that you will receive a response to any message you send to a VP or any other user. Nothing contained in this section will create any right to, or expectation of, interaction between users and VP profiles or the individuals creating VP profiles. You should direct any question regarding the VP service and participation on the Website to us at support@helphotline.co. 9. Access to the Website 9.1 Do you guarantee that the Website will be up and running at all times? Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee that because sometimes we have to carry out maintenance to the Website or it may be affected by a fault or circumstance outside our control, so we provide the Website on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We are not making any warranty about the quality, accuracy, functionality, availability, or performance of the Website. We may suspend, withdraw, or change the service provided on the Website without notice and without incurring any liability to you. 9.2 What about mobile access? You are responsible for making all the necessary arrangements to make sure you can access the Website (including Internet provider and mobile Internet provider fees, and any other charges associated with that access). We will not be liable for any reduced functionality you may encounter because of or in connection with accessing the Website through mobile services or any similar service currently known or developed in the future. By accessing the Website or agreeing to receive messages or notifications from the Website through your mobile phone or any other connected media device (including a tablet), you acknowledge that you may incur charges from your Internet or mobile service provider. We will not be liable to you for those charges under any circumstances. 9.3 I’m not registered and I can’t seem to access some content on the Website. Why is that? Nonregistered users can access only that part of the Website that is publicly available. They will not have a profile or the ability to upload any content. The extent of registered users’ access to the Website will depend on meeting certain criteria relating to their profile or whether they have purchased premium services. We may change the criteria on one or more occasions without notice. 10. Termination 10.1 Termination of use by us My profile has disappeared and I can’t log in. What’s going on? Sometimes people forget about the terms and post content or act in a way while on the Website that is not consistent with the purpose of the Website. If we think that you may be one of those people, we may at any time and without notice: (a)Suspend or cancel your account and your right to access or use the Website or submit any content to the Website; and (b)Make use of any operational, technological, legal, or other means available to enforce the terms (including blocking specific IP addresses). 10.2 Termination of use by you They say that you can have too much of a good thing.… What do I do if I want to “remove” myself from the Website? If you have registered with the Website, you can cancel your account at any time by going to the “My Account” overview page, click on “Account Settings” and then simply click on “Terminate Account,” which is highlighted in red. Users who have purchased premium services will also need to cancel their recurring subscriptions through our payment processor’s support page at http://www.netbilling.com; clicking on “Terminate Account” will not cancel your recurring subscription. We save your profile information in case you later decide to restore your account.

Indemnity I forgot the rules about conduct on here and now someone is threatening to sue you. What now? 15.1 In General You must pay us for any loss of ours that is caused by your (a) access of or conduct on the Website; (b) breach of these terms; (c) infringement or violation of rights of another person, including intellectual property and privacy rights; (d) violation of any law; or (e) negligent, intentional, or criminal conduct, including engaging in fraudulent or deceptive conduct. But you are not required to pay if the loss was caused by our intentional misconduct. 15.2 Definitions (a) “Loss” means an amount that we are legally responsible for or pay in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. (b) A loss is “caused by” an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss. 15.3 Our Duty to Notify We will notify you before the 15th business day after we know or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be obligated to pay. But our failure to timely notify you does not terminate your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to mitigate losses. 15.4 Legal Defense of a Claim We have control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless we direct you to control the defense. You and we will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim. 15.5 No Exclusivity Our rights under this section do not affect other rights we might have. 16. Compliance with Laws The owner of the Website is in California. We are not making any statement that the Website or any of its content is accessible or appropriate outside of the California. Access to the Website may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Website from outside the California, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with all local laws. 17. Governing Law; Place for Resolving Disputes 17.1 The laws of the State of California—without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles—govern all matters arising out of (or relating to) the Website or these terms. The predominant purpose of these terms is providing services and licensing access to intellectual property and not a “sale of goods.” 17.2 Except for disputes subject to arbitration, all disputes arising out of (or relating to) the Website or these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts in the State of California. Each party submits to the personal jurisdiction of the courts in the California, USA to resolve all disputes not subject to arbitration. Each party waives any right to seek another forum or venue because of improper or inconvenient forum. 17.3 For purposes of this section, the Website will be deemed solely based in the California, USA and will be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in any other jurisdiction. 18. Dispute Resolution 18.1 In General Each party will allow the other a reasonable opportunity to comply before it claims that the other has not met its duties under these terms. The parties will first meet and negotiate with each other in good faith to try to resolve all disputes between the parties arising out of (or relating to) the use of the Website. 18.2 Litigation Election Either party may elect to litigate the following type of case or controversy: (1) an action seeking equitable relief, or (2) a suit to compel compliance with this dispute resolution process. 18.3 Mediation If the parties cannot settle a dispute through negotiation within a period of 30 days, then either party may, by notice to the other party and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, demand mediation under the Mediation Rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution. Mediation will take place in the Republic of Seychelles. The language of the mediation will be English. Each party will participate actively and constructively in mediation proceedings once started and will attend at least one joint meeting between the mediator and the parties. Any party may terminate mediation at any time after an initial discussion between the mediator and the parties. Each party will bear its own costs in mediation, and the parties will share equally between them all third-party mediation costs unless the parties agree differently in writing. 18.4 Arbitration If the parties cannot settle within 30 days after service of a written demand for mediation, the parties will settle any unresolved dispute arising out of these terms by arbitration administered under the then current rules of the Commercial Code of the Republic of Seychelles. This is the exclusive remedy and forum for resolving disputes. Unless the parties agree in writing on another venue, arbitration will take place in the California, USA before a single arbitrator. The language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitrator will make a determination and issue an award no later than 30 days after the close of the evidence in the arbitration proceeding. The parties will bear equally the costs of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, and each party will bear the costs associated with its case. The arbitrator will not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in these terms, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. Any court of competent jurisdiction may confirm and enforce the arbitrator’s award. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under these terms without the advance written consent of both parties. 18.5 Right to Injunctive Relief Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide an aggrieved party with full payment if the other party breaches these terms, and that an aggrieved party may seek injunctive relief if a breach happens, besides seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity. 18.6 Recovery of Expenses In any proceedings between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings. For purposes of this section, “prevailing party” means, for any proceeding, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party. 18.7 Jury Trial Waiver Both parties hereby waive the right to a trial by jury for any claim arising out of (or relating to) the Website or these terms. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial. 18.8 Class Action Waiver The parties will conduct any proceedings to resolve a dispute in any forum on an individual basis only. Neither you nor we will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. The parties will not combine any arbitration or proceeding with another without the advanced written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. 18.9 Limitation on Time to File Claims A party will not file a claim arising out of (or relating to) the Website or these terms more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred. 19. General Provisions 19.1 Entire Agreement These terms form the entire agreement between you and us about your access to the Website.

If either party waives the other’s breach of a provision, that waiver is not treated as waiving a later breach of the provision. 19.6 Severability The parties intend as follows: (a) that if any provision of this agreement is held to be unenforceable, then that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision will be disregarded; (b) that if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision would result in failure of an essential purpose of this agreement, the entire agreement will be held unenforceable; (c) that if an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this section, then the rest of the agreement will remain in effect as written; and (d) that any unenforceable provision will remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable. 19.7 Notices (a) Sending Notice to Us You may send notice to us by email at support@helphotline.co unless a specific email address is set out for giving notice.

You may change this consent and request paper notice by normal postal delivery, but if you do, we may collect the reasonable cost and postage for sending postal notice. 19.8 Rights and Remedies Cumulative Any enumeration of a party’s rights and remedies in these terms is not intended to be exhaustive. A party’s exercise of any right or remedy under these terms does not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy. All of the parties’ rights and remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other right or remedy set out in these terms, any other agreement between the parties, or which may now or later exist at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. 19.9 Force Majeure We are not responsible for any failure to perform if unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control delays or continues to delay our performance, including: (a )Acts of God, such as fire, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms, or other natural disasters; (b) War, riot, arson, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, or terrorism; (c) Fiber cuts; (d) Strikes, or shortages in transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials; (e) Failure of the telecommunications or information services infrastructure; and (f) Hacking, SPAM, or any failure of a computer, server, network, or software. 19.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries These terms do not and the parties do not intend them to confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties to these terms. 19.11 Successors and Assigns These terms bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
