4. Your content

You own the photos, text, and other content you upload (“Your Content”). By uploading Your Content to Dhadkan, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, copy, and adapt it solely as needed to operate the service (e.g., resize a photo for thumbnail display, send your message to its recipient, show your profile to potential matches).

You confirm that:

We may remove content that violates these Terms or the Community Guidelines without notice.

5. VIP subscriptions and billing

How billing works

Dhadkan VIP is offered as an auto-renewing subscription through your app store (Apple App Store or Google Play). When you purchase VIP:

• Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account.
• The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
• You can manage and cancel your subscription in your device’s account settings (Apple ID → Subscriptions, or Google Play → Subscriptions). We cannot cancel a subscription from our end.

Promotional pricing

From time to time we offer promotional pricing. Promotional rates apply for the duration shown at purchase. After the promotional period (if any), the subscription renews at the standard rate unless cancelled.

Refunds

• Subscription refunds are governed by Apple’s App Store and Google Play refund policies. Request refunds directly through your app store.
• We do not issue refunds for partial subscription periods, voluntary cancellations, or for accounts terminated due to violations of these Terms.

6. Account termination

By you

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account. Deletion removes your profile from other users immediately and erases your personal data within 30 days, subject to limited legal/safety retention as described in the Privacy Policy.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion, including (without limitation) for:

• Violations of these Terms or the Community Guidelines.
• Activity that endangers other users.
• Fraudulent, illegal, or abusive use of the service.
• Repeated reports from other users.

Where reasonable, we will notify you before termination. We do not provide refunds for accounts terminated for cause.

7. AI features

Dhadkan uses AI to generate compatibility insights and conversational suggestions. AI output is for entertainment and guidance only — it is not professional advice (medical, psychological, legal, or otherwise). AI may be wrong, biased, or incomplete. Use your own judgment.

8. Disclaimers

9. Limitation of liability

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Dhadkan harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) your use of the service, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any rights of another person.

11. Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises between you and Dhadkan, we ask that you first contact us at service@dhadkan.social so we can try to resolve it informally. If informal resolution fails, you and Dhadkan agree that any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except that either party may bring claims in small-claims court if eligible. Class actions, class arbitrations, and representative actions are waived to the extent permitted by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Venue for any in-court action (e.g., small-claims) is the county where you reside.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material we will notify you in the app and update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of Dhadkan after the change is published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
