Limitation of Liability — Tinder

What it is

Tinder limits its financial liability to you to the absolute minimum allowed by law — it will not compensate you for indirect losses, data loss, emotional harm, or harm caused by other users, even in cases of serious wrongdoing.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If Tinder suffers a data breach exposing your sexual orientation or HIV status, or if you are defrauded by another user, Tinder's liability to you for resulting harm (lost data, emotional distress, financial losses) is capped to the minimum allowed by law.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL TINDER, ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (II) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF OTHER MEMBERS OR THIRD PARTIES ON, THROUGH OR FOLLOWING USE OF THE SERVICES; OR (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Limitation of liability clauses in consumer contracts are regulated under EU Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms, which renders exclusions of liability for personal injury or death caused by negligence automatically void; UK Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 similarly restrict exclusion clauses in consumer contracts. Under GDPR Art. 82, data subjects have a non-waivable right to compensation for material and non-material damage from GDPR violations, rendering the limitation of liability clause inapplicable to GDPR-covered data breaches for EU/UK users. Under US state tort law, limitations on liability for gross negligence may be unenforceable.
