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.

‍

No In-App Chat

Skip does not offer in-app chat. The Services are designed around profiles, matching, Date Cards, and date planning rather than in-app messaging.

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 permitted background check requirement is enabled, the person being screened must complete and pass the background check, including ageverification and government-issued ID review, before they can propose a 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 women seeking men matches, women may requiremen to complete and pass a background check before proposing a date. Men cannot require women to complete a background check in thismatch 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.
• Skip does not conductcriminal background checks on every member.
• 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 requires all users to complete profile verification using a guided selfie, which may involve manual review. Age verification andgovernment-issued ID review are included in Skip’s background check process. As part of that process, Skip reviews the date of birth shown on a government-issued ID and compares the ID photo with the user’s profile photos and live verification photo to help identify inconsistencies and reduce impersonation risk. Verification and ID reviewhelp reduce risk but do not conclusively establish identity or guarantee safety. If you do not complete identity review, certain features may be unavailable.

• Badges
  
  • Skip displays four verification badges when earned: Profile verified (blue), Background check (green), Age verified (darkblue), and ID reviewed (gray). Profile verification is required for all users. The other three badges are earned through the background check process. These badgesreflect limited information at a point in time and do not guarantee identity, safety, or future behavior.
• Fees and refunds
  
  • If a background check is required, the person completing the check is responsible for the fee disclosed in the screening flow. Fees, purchases, refunds, and credit redemption are governed by our Terms of Sale and Return Policy.

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.
