Terms, in plain words
The short version
- Illyria is an early test. It's free, it will change, and things will sometimes break.
- Your matchmaker is an AI. She can be wrong, and the decision to meet someone is always yours.
- We don't check anyone's identity or background in this alpha. Meet in public and tell a friend.
- Be honest and be kind. Harassment, scams and asking for money get an account removed.
- You can leave and delete everything at any time.
Who these terms are between
You, and [OPERATOR NAME], [POSTAL ADDRESS], which runs Illyria ("we"). By creating an account you agree to these terms and to how we handle your data, set out in the privacy note.
The alpha
Illyria is invite-only and in testing. It's free while the alpha lasts. We may change how it works, pause it, or end it, and we'll give you notice in the app when we reasonably can. Some things described in the app are marked "After the alpha" and aren't available yet.
Who can use it
- You must be 18 or older.
- One account per person, in your own name, for yourself.
- Your invite code is for you. Don't sell it or pass it around.
- You must be free to use a dating service where you live, and you must not have been removed from Illyria before.
Your matchmaker is an AI
She's software, not a person, and she says so when asked. She can misunderstand you, get facts wrong, or introduce someone who turns out not to suit you. She isn't a therapist, a doctor, a lawyer or an emergency service, and what she says isn't professional advice.
An introduction is a suggestion. It isn't a recommendation that a person is safe, honest, single, or who they say they are.
Meeting people
We don't verify identity, photos, age beyond your own confirmation, or relationship status, and we don't run background checks in this alpha. Other members' profiles and messages are their own. You're responsible for your decisions about who to talk to and whether, where and how to meet.
Meet in a public place the first few times, arrange your own way there and back, and tell a friend. Never send money to someone you met here. If you're in danger, call 112 in India or 911 in the US.
How to behave
Be truthful about your age, your relationship status, your photos and what you're looking for. Don't:
- harass, threaten, demean or sexually pressure anyone;
- ask anyone for money, gifts, loans, investments or payment details;
- pretend to be someone else, or use someone else's photos;
- share another person's private information or messages without their consent;
- use Illyria to sell, recruit, advertise or collect data, or with bots or scrapers;
- post anything illegal, or anything sexual involving a minor, which we report to the authorities;
- try to break, overload or get around the service or its safeguards, including by trying to make your matchmaker reveal what another person told theirs.
Reports, and what we may do
You can report or block anyone from a chat or the Safety centre. Messages are checked automatically for signs of scams and harassment. If we believe someone has broken these terms or is a risk to others, we may warn them, pause their introductions, close a chat, or remove their account, with or without notice. We may tell the authorities when we believe someone is in danger or the law requires it.
What you share
What you tell your matchmaker, your profile and your photos stay yours. You give us permission to store and use them to run Illyria for you: to build your matchmaker's picture of you, to choose and write introductions, and to show the parts you've made Public to people you're introduced to, as the privacy note describes. That permission ends when you delete the item or your account, apart from backup copies that expire on their own.
Only share photos and information you have the right to share.
Leaving
You can delete your account at any time under You → Delete account. It takes effect at once and can't be undone. We can also suspend or close an account as described above, or when the alpha ends.
What we don't promise
Illyria is provided as it is. We don't promise that it will always be available, that it will be free of mistakes, or that you'll meet someone. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for the conduct of other members, on Illyria or in person, or for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you is limited to 100 US dollars. Nothing here limits liability that the law says can't be limited, or the rights you have as a consumer where you live.
Which law applies
These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW]. If you're a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the place you live.
Changes
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before the change takes effect. If you don't agree, you can delete your account.
