This provision is designed to protect user safety by barring individuals with certain criminal histories from the platform, but enforcement relies on self-reporting with no stated verification mechanism.
Hinge users must submit almost all legal disputes to binding arbitration and waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits, significantly limiting legal recourse against the company. Subscriptions automatically renew and Hinge reserves the right to change subscription features at any time without offering refunds in most cases. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to legal@hinge.co within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.
