Hinge Terms of Service

This document is the contract between you and Hinge that sets the rules for using the app. By continuing to use Hinge after any update to these Terms, you are legally bound by the new version. If you have a dispute with Hinge, you must resolve it through individual arbitration—not in court and not as part of a class action—and Hinge's financial liability to you is capped at what you actually paid in the prior 24 months.

Hinge's Terms of Service establish the contractual framework governing user access to and use of the platform, including a broad license to user-generated content that is worldwide, perpetual, transferable, and sub-licensable. The document imposes significant liability limitations on Hinge, capping aggregate monetary recovery at amounts actually paid during the preceding 24 months and excluding all indirect, consequential, punitive, and enhanced damages. Dispute resolution is channeled exclusively to individual arbitration, with waivers of jury trial, court litigation, and class action participation. Users bear sole responsibility and indemnification obligations for their content, while Hinge reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts without refund based on its own assessment of violations or inappropriate behavior. Hinge retains rights to access, analyze, and use user content—including private messages—for service development and machine learning, and may share data with affiliates for safety and security purposes.

As a Hinge user, your in-app messages and content may be accessed and used by Hinge for machine learning and service improvement. The content license you grant Hinge when you create an account is perpetual and sub-licensable, meaning it persists even if you stop using the app. Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel, so canceling before the renewal date is the specific action needed to avoid additional charges. If Hinge suspends or terminates your account—including for behavior it deems inappropriate—no refund is owed. Any legal dispute you have with Hinge must be pursued individually through arbitration, not in court.
