Hinge can change its terms at any time, and continuing to use the app after a change takes effect means you have agreed to the new terms, even if you did not read them.
This analysis describes what Hinge's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Most term changes take effect automatically upon continued use, meaning you may be bound by new obligations or reduced rights without actively clicking to agree, with the notable exception of changes to liability limits and arbitration provisions which require affirmative acceptance.
Unless Hinge changes its liability or arbitration terms, which require your affirmative agreement, all other changes to your rights and obligations become binding simply by your continued use of the app after the effective date.
