1. Introduction and Acceptance
Welcome to MatchAI. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and MatchAI ("MatchAI," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the MatchAI platform, including our website, mobile applications, and any associated services (collectively, the "Platform").
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Content Guidelines, and Content Removal Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
IMPORTANT: These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver (Section 13) that affect your legal rights. Please read them carefully.
2. Eligibility
The Platform is intended solely for users who are at least 18 years of age. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under 18, you are strictly prohibited from accessing or using the Platform, creating an account, or participating in any MatchAI communities.
We reserve the right to terminate accounts and deny access to anyone we reasonably believe to be under 18. Misrepresenting your age constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination.
3. Third-Party Partners and Affiliates
MatchAI integrates with various third-party partners and affiliates to provide character interactions and models. By using MatchAI, you acknowledge and agree that your interactions with specific characters may be subject to additional terms of service and privacy policies enforced by those respective third-party platforms. MatchAI's terms apply in addition to, not in place of, these partner policies.

This content is provided for entertainment purposes only and does not constitute professional, medical, legal, financial, psychological, or any other form of advice.
MatchAI does not control, monitor, or assume responsibility for the AI-generated responses produced by partner platforms during your interactions. You acknowledge that such responses are generated by third-party AI systems and may contain inaccuracies, offensive material, hallucinations, or content that does not reflect MatchAI's views or values.
You agree that you will not rely on any AI-generated content for decisions that could affect your health, safety, legal rights, or financial well-being.
