Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: July 15, 2025
1. Introduction and Acceptance
Welcome to VIDA Select. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms” or “Agreement”) are a legally binding agreement between you and VIDA LLC (“VIDA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Wyoming limited liability company. VIDA is the owner and operator of vidaselect.com (the “Website”) and provides personal matchmaking and online dating assistance services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing our Website or using our Services, you (as a User of the Website or a paying Client of our Services) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use the Website or Services.
PLEASE NOTE: These Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver in the Dispute Resolution section that affect your rights for resolving disputes. By accepting these Terms, you agree to arbitrate disputes with VIDA on an individual basis.
2. Modifications to Terms
VIDA reserves the right, at any time and at its sole discretion, to amend, modify, or update these Terms and Conditions. Changes may be communicated by posting an updated version on our Website and/or by sending an email notification, depending on the nature of the changes and as deemed appropriate. VIDA, in its sole discretion, will determine the method of providing notice, if any.
It is the responsibility of the User and the Client to review these Terms regularly for any amendments, modifications, or updates. Continued use of VIDA’s Website or Services after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
No changes will apply retroactively unless required by law.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into this Agreement. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you:
- Are at least 18 (or the age of legal majority);
- Are legally permitted to use matchmaking services and have the capacity to be bound by these Terms;
- Are single (if married, you must be separated with a divorce pending and disclose your true status);
- Have never been convicted of or pleaded no contest to any felony, sex crime, or violent crime;
- Are not required to register as a sex offender;
- Have not been previously banned by VIDA unless explicitly authorized to return.
If any of these representations become untrue, you must immediately notify VIDA and cease using the Services. VIDA reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate access without refund if eligibility requirements are no longer met.
4. Description of Services
VIDA provides personalized matchmaking and online dating profile management services for Clients seeking to meet potential romantic partners (“Matches”). Services can include internal matchmaking through our curated network, full takeover of your dating app profiles (including profile creation, optimization, swiping, matching, and messaging), or a combination of both. Our matchmakers may use various tools and technologies, including AI, to enhance service delivery. Regardless of the method, VIDA handles match selection, introductions, and arranges meetings.
Please note the following important aspects of our Services:
- Service Outcomes: VIDA does not guarantee specific results including, but not limited to, finding a partner, obtaining dates, or meeting matches within any timeframe (see Section 11 for complete warranty information).Matchmaking success depends on numerous factors beyond our control. Any success examples or timeframes we share are illustrative only and do not constitute performance guarantees.
- Premium Guarantee Option: VIDA may, at its sole discretion, offer select clients an Premium Guarantee package with specific performance commitments. If offered and accepted, all guarantee terms—including deliverables, qualification requirements, and refund provisions—will be detailed in a separate Service Agreement executed by both parties prior to service commencement. Such guaranteed packages are exceptional offerings and not available to all clients.
- Match Selection: Our matchmakers will present you with potential Matches based on your profile and preferences. You will have the opportunity to approve or decline these Matches (see Client Cooperation section below). We cannot guarantee the availability or willingness of any particular Match to meet, nor that a Match will meet all your criteria.
- Professional Matchmakers: Our team will assign a personal matchmaker to you and possibly other support staff (writers, scouts, photo specialists, etc.) to work on your behalf. We use a combination of human expertise and, in some cases, technology (including AI tools, see Use of AI section) to deliver our Services.
- Not a Dating Service Provider to the Public: VIDA is not an online dating “platform” open to public profiles, and we do not provide services to anyone who is not accepted as a Client. We offer a concierge-style service tailored to each paying Client.
By using our Services, you acknowledge that VIDA’s role is to facilitate introductions and improve your dating prospects. We do not guarantee compatibility or that any meeting with a Match will result in a successful relationship. You accept the inherent risks of dating (see Section 9 for safety information).
5. User and Client Responsibilities
When using our Website or Services, you agree to the following responsibilities and conduct requirements. Some obligations apply to all Users, while others apply specifically to Clients who enroll in our matchmaking services.
5.1 Accurate Information
You agree to provide true, current, and complete information about yourself both on our Website (for example, any inquiry or signup forms) and as a Client using our Services. This includes, but is not limited to, personal details, demographic information, photos, and relationship preferences.
- Profile Data: As a Client, you will be asked to share personal information and photos for the purpose of creating profiles and matching you with Matches. You represent and warrant that all information and materials you provide to VIDA are truthful, accurate, and up-to-date. If any of your information changes (for instance, your contact details, appearance, or preferences), you agree to promptly inform your matchmaker or VIDA’s team so we can update your profile.
- Misrepresentation: If you provide any information that is untrue, misleading, or fraudulent, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect such, VIDA has the right to suspend or terminate your account and/or Services immediately for cause. In such case, you may forfeit any fees paid (see Termination and Refunds for details). Misrepresentation includes using someone else’s photographs as your own, lying about your identity or background, or otherwise deceiving VIDA or prospective matches.
- Identity and Background: By becoming a Client, you authorize VIDA to conduct a public records background check on you as part of the onboarding process. This screening helps us assess your eligibility for our Services. You further authorize VIDA to conduct additional screenings at any time during your engagement, at our discretion, including criminal records and sex offender registry checks, as permitted by law.
You acknowledge that VIDA makes no representations regarding the background, intentions, or conduct of any other individuals, and that any background check we perform on you is for VIDA’s internal use only. We are not required to share the results of any screening with you. If your screening reveals information that, in VIDA’s sole discretion, makes you ineligible for our Services or otherwise violates these Terms, VIDA may terminate your Services immediately and without refund. Any such determination will be made by VIDA at its sole judgment and will be final.
5.2 General Use and Prohibited Conduct
Whether you are simply visiting our Website or enrolled as a Client, you agree not to misuse our Website, Services, or any information you obtain through VIDA. You will NOT:
- Violate Laws or Regulations: Use the Website or Services for any purpose that violates local, state, national, or international laws or regulations. This includes all laws relevant to dating services, privacy, and intellectual property.
- Infringe Rights: Post, send, or otherwise transmit any content that infringes or violates the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights (copyright, trademark, etc.), privacy rights, or publicity rights.
- Provide Others’ Personal Data Without Consent: Give VIDA any personal information of another person (such as an ex-partner’s email or a friend’s contact) unless you have their explicit consent to do so. You also agree not to ask us to contact someone or publish someone else’s information without their permission.
- Harass or Harm: Use the Services to harass, stalk, intimidate, abuse, defame, insult, or threaten any person (whether it be VIDA staff, other Clients, or any Match you meet through our service). Hate speech, offensive, or discriminatory content (e.g. racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
- Post Obscene or Illegal Content: When using our Website or Services, you agree to the following responsibilities and conduct requirements. Some obligations apply to all Users, while others apply specifically to Clients who enroll in our matchmaking services.
- Spread Malware or Disruptions: Introduce viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware or any other malicious code into our Website or systems, or take any action that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair the functioning of our Services (e.g. launching denial-of-service attacks, using bots, or other automated systems to scrape or flood the site).
- Attempt Unauthorized Access: Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of our Website, Services, servers, or to other users’ data. This includes not attempting to hack, password “phish,” or circumvent security measures.
- Resell or Exploit Services: Reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, or resell the Services (or any portion thereof) for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent. Our Services are for your personal, non-commercial use only.
- Interfere with Service: Do anything that interferes with or disrupts the integrity or performance of the Website or our matchmaking operations. This includes interfering with other Clients’ experiences or our matchmakers’ ability to perform their job.
VIDA reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor user communications and content on the Website and Services. We may remove or edit any content that violates these Terms or refuse to transmit any messages that we reasonably deem objectionable. You remain solely responsible for any content you provide or actions you take while using VIDA.
5.3 Client Cooperation and Matchmaking Process
If you enroll as a Client, you agree to cooperate reasonably with VIDA and adhere to the process rules set forth here. Failure to follow these rules may be considered a material breach of contract and could result in termination of Services without refund. These rules are designed to ensure a smooth matchmaking experience for both you and the Matches we introduce:
- Initial Consultation: Once you sign up, we will schedule an initial in-depth consultation (approximately 90 minutes) with your matchmaker. You agree to attend this call/meeting at the agreed time. If you need to reschedule the initial consultation, you will provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may incur a rebooking fee of $50 (if 24 hours notice is not given) or $100 (for a no-show without notice). These fees must be paid before rescheduling the consultation.
- Profile Management: VIDA will create or refine your dating profile(s) for use on selected Third-Party Dating Platforms and within our network. You agree not to independently alter the profiles we create for you (including changing photos or written bios) without first notifying your matchmaker. Consistency in your profile content is important for the process. If you wish to make changes, discuss them with your matchmaker so we can assist or approve.
- Exclusive Communication: In many cases, VIDA (through your matchmaker or a designated specialist) will handle messaging and communications with Matches during the initial stages (for example, on dating apps or via email/phone) to arrange introductions. You agree not to contact any Match on your own unless given prior approval by your matchmaker. This ensures clear communication and avoids confusion or double messaging. Similarly, do not attempt to bypass VIDA by finding a Match online and contacting them directly – doing so may result in termination of your Services.
- Timely Feedback & Decisions: After we present you with potential Matches (sometimes called an “Initial Match Selection” or subsequent match suggestions), you agree to review their profiles and respond within 24 hours (or within any other specified feedback window) with your decision to accept or decline each Match. Timely feedback helps keep the matchmaking process moving. If we do not hear from you within the 24-hour window, we may assume you approve all presented Matches and proceed with introductions at our discretion.
- Scheduling Dates: If you need to cancel a scheduled date, you agree to provide at least 48 hours notice to your matchmaker. Problematic conduct, repeated unavailability, and/or frequent cancellations may result in termination of services without refund.
- Participation and Effort: The success of matchmaking largely depends on your active participation. You commit to putting genuine effort into the process – this includes showing up on time for dates, being open-minded and courteous with Matches, and providing honest feedback to your matchmaker after each introduction. Constructive feedback (what you liked or disliked) helps us improve future matches. If you unreasonably refuse to engage with multiple Matches or repeatedly fail to provide feedback, VIDA may determine that you are not cooperating with the service and may cancel your remaining Services (subject to the refund policy in Section 6).
- Client Decorum: You agree to treat VIDA’s staff and any Matches or other individuals you meet through our service with respect. Any rude, aggressive, inappropriate, or unethical behavior toward our staff or Matches is grounds for termination. Examples include making lewd or overly sexual remarks to a matchmaker, asking a matchmaker on a date, or behaving inappropriately on a date arranged by VIDA. We aim to maintain a professional, safe environment for everyone involved.
If you have any concerns or need an adjustment in the process, communicate with your matchmaker or contact VIDA’s client support. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate scheduling issues and address your feedback about the service. However, persistent failure to adhere to the above cooperation rules releases VIDA from any further obligation to provide Services and may result in termination of your client account.
5.4 Use of Third-Party Dating Platforms
As part of our comprehensive matchmaking services, VIDA manages your presence on selected dating platforms to maximize your opportunities for meaningful connections. This section explains how that works and sets out important terms related to third-party services:
- Your Authorization: By engaging our Services, you authorize VIDA's trained specialists to create and manage dating profiles on your behalf across various platforms. This includes crafting profiles, uploading photos, engaging in conversations, and coordinating matches—all designed to represent you authentically while saving you time and optimizing results.
- Platform Considerations: Some dating platforms may restrict account sharing. You acknowledge this risk and agree that VIDA is not liable for any platform actions against your account. We operate with discretion and professionalism, and will work with you in good faith to resolve any issues that may arise.
- Account Security: Your credentials are handled with strict confidentiality and stored using industry-standard security protocols. You may change passwords after our service concludes, but during active service, please coordinate any changes to avoid disruption.
- Quality Control: We never post inappropriate content and you may provide feedback on your profile text or our messaging approach at any time.
- Communication Transition: VIDA manages early-stage communication to establish connection and interest. Once a match progresses—typically after a successful introduction or date—we transition communication to you for direct relationship building.
5.5 Communications and Contact Consent
By providing your contact information to VIDA (such as phone number and email address), you consent to receive communications from us as part of the Services:
- Service-Related Communication: VIDA and its representatives (including your matchmaker) may contact you via telephone, email, text/SMS, or other messaging platforms (such as WhatsApp, if agreed) for purposes related to your use of the service. This includes scheduling calls or dates, providing match updates, asking for feedback, or addressing customer service issues. These service communications are considered part of the Services and are necessary to perform our contract with you. You consent to receive these communications and understand you may not opt out of them if you wish to continue using the Services (except by terminating the Services). However, we will endeavor to contact you during reasonable hours and sparingly so as not to be intrusive.
- Promotional Messages: We may also send occasional promotional communications, such as special offers, newsletters, or announcements about VIDA’s services. Promotional text messages will only be sent with your express written consent where required by law. For example, if you provide your phone number via our Website and opt-in, you agree to receive marketing SMS messages. Consent to promotional texts is not a condition of purchase. You can opt out of promotional emails by clicking “unsubscribe” in any such email, and opt out of promotional texts by replying “STOP” (or following any provided opt-out instructions). Standard messaging and data rates may apply to SMS messages.
- Recording and Monitoring: On occasion, for quality assurance or training purposes, calls between you and VIDA staff (including matchmakers or customer support) may be monitored or recorded. If you object to this, please let us know in advance. We will comply with any applicable laws regarding call recording (e.g., if consent is required, we will either not record or will seek your consent).
SMS/MMS Text Program Details:
VIDA may offer an SMS/MMS text message program for Clients or Users who opt in. By opting in (for example, by texting a keyword to our short code, or checking a box online), you agree to receive recurring messages from VIDA. Message frequency may vary. You can text "HELP" for assistance or "STOP" at any time to opt out of the SMS program. After sending "STOP," you may receive one final confirmation message. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. For more info, please contact us at contact@vidaselect.com or refer to any additional SMS terms provided when you opt in.
6. Fees, Payment and Refund Policy
6.1 Payment Structure and Service Agreements
- Service-Specific Terms:: All fees, payment schedules, and refund provisions for your specific service package are detailed in your signed Service Agreement, which governs your particular engagement with VIDA.
- Deposit Process: Most VIDA services begin with an initial deposit to secure your consultation and matchmaker allocation. The deposit is applied toward your total service investment upon execution of your Service Agreement.
- Payment Authorization: You authorize VIDA to charge your designated payment method for all fees and applicable taxes as specified in your Service Agreement. You agree to maintain current and valid payment information throughout your service term.
6.2 Deposit Cancellation Period (U.S. Clients Only)
If you are a U.S. client, you may cancel your deposit within three (3) business days of payment by submitting a written cancellation request to the VIDA representative who assisted with your enrollment or by emailing contact@vidaselect.com.
Upon receiving your request, VIDA will promptly provide a cancellation form. If your initial cancellation request is received within the three-day window, you will have 24 hours from receipt of the form to complete and return it. If properly submitted, VIDA will issue a full deposit refund.
6.3 Service Agreement Cancellation Terms
Once you execute a Service Agreement, cancellation and refund terms are governed by your specific package type:
- Premium Guarantee Package: Non-cancellable once signed, with specific guarantee and refund provisions detailed in your Service Agreement superseding general policies in these Terms.
- Monthly Subscription Packages: Subject to monthly cancellation terms as specified in your Service Agreement, with potential auto-renewal provisions.
- Other Service Packages: Governed by the specific cancellation and refund terms outlined in your individual Service Agreement.
6.4 Auto-Renewal (Monthly Packages Only)
Monthly subscription packages may include auto-renewal provisions as specified in your Service Agreement. Premium Guarantee and other fixed-term packages do not auto-renew. If your monthly package includes auto-renewal, you may cancel prior to the renewal date by providing written notice to VIDA. Auto-renewal payments are non-refundable once processed, except that if you notify us of unintended renewal within forty-eight (48) hours of the charge, we will provide a full refund as a courtesy.
6.5 Payment Disputes and Chargebacks
You agree to contact VIDA at billing@vidaselect.com regarding any billing concerns and allow us reasonable opportunity to resolve them before initiating any chargeback or payment dispute. VIDA responds to all billing inquiries within two (2) business days.
- Chargeback Policy: Initiating a chargeback without first attempting resolution through VIDA's billing process constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. By submitting payment, you acknowledge that VIDA's matchmaking services require immediate resource allocation and are not eligible for return, refund, or reversal once service delivery has commenced.
- Consequences of Unauthorized Chargebacks: Unauthorized chargebacks will result in immediate suspension of services and may trigger: (i) collection proceedings for all amounts owed plus applicable costs; (ii) obligation to cease using VIDA-created profile content until payment is resolved; and (iii) permanent ineligibility for future VIDA services. VIDA maintains comprehensive service documentation and actively contests improper chargebacks.
7. Intellectual Property and Content Rights
7.1 Ownership of Website and Service Content
All content and materials on VIDA’s Website and provided as part of the Services (excluding “Your Content” as defined below) are owned by or licensed to VIDA and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. This includes but is not limited to: the design, text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, compilations of data, software, and any VIDA trademarks or service marks.
- VIDA Marks: Names, logos, and taglines associated with VIDA (such as “VIDA Select”) are trademarks/service marks owned by VIDA. You do not have any license or right to use any VIDA trademark or logo except with our prior written consent.
- Site License: We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to access the Website and view its content for your personal use in connection with the Services. You may print or download portions of the Website content for your personal use, provided that you do not remove any copyright or proprietary notices. You may not modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly display, or commercially exploit any of our content without our express permission.
- Prohibited Use: Any unauthorized copying, distribution, retransmission, or publication of any VIDA material is strictly prohibited and may subject you to legal action. This includes scraping or using any automated means to extract data from our Website, as well as framing any part of our site or Services without permission.
7.2 Your Content and License to VIDA
As a Client, you will provide us with content that may include personal information, photographs, profile descriptions, and other materials (“Your Content”) for use in your dating profile and matchmaking. You retain ownership of Your Content. VIDA does not claim ownership of the personal photos, biographical information, or other original material you provide. However, we need certain rights to use this content to deliver our Services effectively. Therefore, you grant VIDA the following license:
- License Grant: You hereby grant to VIDA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense to our contractors or affiliates working on our behalf) to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, translate, distribute, and display Your Content, in whole or in part, solely for the purposes of providing the Services and operating our business. This includes, for example, using your photos and profile information to create dating profiles on third-party platforms, sharing your profile (with first name and photos) with potential Matches, and internally analyzing your information to improve match suggestions.
- Display and Distribution: You agree that certain elements of Your Content (for instance, your first name, age, general location, and photos) may be displayed to or shared with third parties as part of the matchmaking process. We will not publicly post your full identity or contact information, and we will not post your profile on our Website or marketing materials without additional consent (see below). The sharing will be targeted only to prospective matches or relevant platforms as needed.
- Modification: Our team may make minor modifications to Your Content (e.g., touch up a photo or correct grammar in your bio) to enhance your profile. Any such modifications are covered by the above license. We will not distort your image or write false information; modifications are intended to present you in the best light based on the truth.
- Warranty of Rights: You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to provide Your Content to VIDA and to grant the license above. This means, for example, that you either own the copyright in any photos or text you give us, or you have obtained permission from the owner to use it in this context. You also warrant that Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights and that our use of it as licensed will not violate any law or rights of any person. You agree to indemnify VIDA for any breach of this warranty (see Indemnification below).
Use in Marketing or Testimonials: We value your privacy. We will not use Your Content (such as your photos or success story) in our public-facing marketing materials (e.g., on our blog or testimonials page) without obtaining your separate explicit consent. If you find love through VIDA, we might ask if you’re willing to share your story, but that’s entirely up to you. Any such use would be subject to additional agreement. The license you grant above for service purposes does not automatically allow us to post your identity or likeness in advertising beyond the scope of private matchmaking activities.
7.3 Confidentiality of Service Materials
During your time as a Client, you may receive or become aware of certain confidential or proprietary information of VIDA’s business, such as matchmaking strategies, documents, questionnaires, training materials, pricing models, software tools, or other non-public know-how (“Proprietary Information”). All such Proprietary Information is the sole property of VIDA.
You agree not to use, disclose, distribute, or sell VIDA’s Proprietary Information for any purpose outside of your personal use of the Services. This obligation remains even after your relationship with VIDA ends. For example, you should not share any internal matchmaking techniques or documents provided to you with any competitor or on any public forum.
We welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement, but by sharing any feedback with us, you grant us the right to use it without obligation or compensation to you, and you agree that any enhancements or new features developed will be owned by VIDA.
If you are ever in doubt about whether something is proprietary or can be shared, please err on the side of caution and ask us first.
7.4 Third-Party Intellectual Property
Our Website or communications may display some third-party trademarks or content (for example, logos of media outlets that have featured VIDA, or the names of dating apps we use). All third-party trademarks and content are the property of their respective owners, and their display does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by those third parties. You must not use any third-party content from our site in a way that would infringe upon the rights of those third parties.
If you believe that any content on our Website or being used in our Service infringes your intellectual property rights (such as your copyrighted work or trademark), please notify us immediately with details, and we will investigate and respond appropriately (including removing or disabling access to infringing material in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for copyright issues, if applicable).
8. Privacy and Data Use
Your privacy is important to us. VIDA’s Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our Services, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
To provide matchmaking services, we collect and process personal and potentially sensitive information you choose to share (e.g., preferences, photos, relationship history, religion, or other identity data). You explicitly consent to our use of this data to deliver and improve our Services.
We may share select personal information with potential Matches to facilitate introductions. This may include first name, age, photos, occupation, interests, and other relevant profile elements. We do not disclose contact information or identifying details (e.g., last name, email) without your prior approval.
You agree to treat any personal information you receive about Matches as confidential, and to use it only for personal, relationship-related purposes.
For more information, please review our full Privacy Policy. Questions may be directed to privacy@vidaselect.com.
9. Safety and Security
Your interactions with Matches and others you meet through our Services are solely your responsibility. VIDA makes no warranties about other individuals (see Section 11). You assume all risks associated with meeting others through the Service.
Recommendations for safe use include:
Meet Matches for the first time in public places;
- Inform a trusted person of your meeting plans;
- Arrange your own transportation;
- Avoid sharing sensitive personal or financial information prematurely.
VIDA does not routinely conduct criminal background checks on Matches. If requested in writing by you, we may conduct a public records search on a Match for a fee, subject to availability. However, even when conducted, background checks are limited in scope and may not reveal all relevant information.
If you experience or witness inappropriate or unsafe conduct, you should report it to VIDA immediately. While VIDA may take internal action at its discretion, VIDA is not liable for the conduct of Matches or other third parties.
You agree that VIDA is not responsible for any harm, injury, loss, or damages resulting from your interactions through the Services.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
Use of Service is At Your Own Risk. VIDA provides the Website and Services on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, VIDA disclaims any and all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, with respect to the Services, the Website, and any content or information provided therein. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Implied Warranties: We expressly disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties that might arise from course of dealing or usage of trade. We make no guarantee that our Services will meet your expectations or requirements.
- No Warranty of Availability: We do not warrant that the Services or Website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. While we strive for uptime and accuracy, we cannot promise that access will always be available or that there will never be any technical glitches, delays, or errors. Any scheduled downtime for maintenance will be minimized and, when possible, communicated, but emergency downtime may occur.
- No Warranty on Match Outcomes: We make no warranties or representations about the quality, suitability, truth, or success of any match we arrange. We do not guarantee that using our Services will result in finding a partner, nor do we guarantee the compatibility, conduct, or character of any Match you meet. Any statements made about “average” results or success stories are for illustrative purposes and not a promise of what will happen in your specific case.
- Third-Party Services: We make no warranty regarding any third-party websites or services (including Third-Party Dating Platforms) that you may use in connection with our Service. For example, we cannot guarantee that any specific dating platform will function perfectly with our process, or that those third-party services themselves will be error-free or secure. Your use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and conditions, and we are not responsible for any issues on their side.
- Content and Information: Any information or content (including profiles of Matches, advice articles, or communications from matchmakers) presented through the Service is provided for general guidance in the matchmaking process. While we strive for accuracy and usefulness, we do not warrant that any such information is 100% complete, reliable, or error-free. For instance, a Match’s profile information is provided by that person; we do not guarantee its truthfulness, though we ask Matches to be honest. Use your own judgment before relying on any information obtained through the Service.
- Digital Security: VIDA strives to maintain a secure digital environment, but we do not warrant that the Website, our servers, or communications from us are free of viruses, malware, or other harmful components. You should use up-to-date security software on your devices. Any downloading of materials or clicking on links from our Website or emails is done at your own risk.
- Professional Advice: No part of our Service, Website, or any content provided should be considered legal, financial, or medical advice. Our matchmakers may give dating advice, but they are not licensed counselors or therapists (unless explicitly stated for a specific individual). You should consult professionals in those fields if you need such assistance. VIDA disclaims any responsibility for consequences of decisions you make based on advice or information obtained through the Service.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such cases, any implied warranties will be limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by applicable law. This disclaimer of warranties is a fundamental part of this Agreement and is a condition for the permission to use our Services. If you are a consumer entitled to statutory rights (for example, under consumer protection laws), nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect those rights.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, VIDA and its affiliates, employees, officers, agents, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Website or Services. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for: emotional distress, loss of opportunity, lost profits, lost data, personal injuries, or any other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Specifically, VIDA will not be responsible for:
- Match Outcomes or Conduct: Any emotional or physical harm, financial loss, or any sort of damage resulting from meetings or relationships (or attempts at relationships) with individuals we introduce to you. This includes any incidents that occur before, during, or after a date, communications that turn sour, rejection outcomes, or any incompatibility issues. You assume all risks inherent in dating and interacting with others.
- Third-Party Acts: Any acts, omissions, or content provided by third parties (including other users, Matches, third-party dating platforms, or outside vendors). If, for example, a Match behaves inappropriately or unlawfully, or if a third-party site mishandles your data or causes a dispute, those are beyond our control and we are not liable for them.
- Service Interruptions: Any interruption or cessation of access to the Services, any bugs, viruses, or harmful code that may be transmitted to or through our Website by any third party, or for any errors or omissions in any content or communications.
- Loss of Data or Content: If any data or content you provided to us is lost, corrupted, or otherwise not retrievable (e.g., due to a technical failure), our liability will be limited as described below. We recommend you keep backup copies of any important information (for example, a unique profile write-up) just in case.
- Monetary Transactions: Aside from refund obligations explicitly stated in these Terms, VIDA’s financial liability for any claims related to billing or payments is limited to correcting the error or issuing the appropriate refund as determined by these Terms.
Exceptions: Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the smallest amount permitted by law. Additionally, nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (for instance, certain consumer protection or product liability laws might impose liability that cannot be waived).
You acknowledge that without these limitations of liability, VIDA would not be able to offer the Services at the same prices or terms, and that these limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between you and us.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VIDA, its parent company, affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and partners (collectively, the “VIDA Parties”) from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, complaints, lawsuits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) that arise out of or relate to:
- Your breach of this Agreement: Any violation of these Terms by you, including but not limited to any breach of your representations and warranties under this Agreement. For example, if you provided false information and a third party is harmed by or claims against us due to that false information, you would indemnify us.
- Your conduct: All acts or omissions by you in using our Services. This includes your conduct with other Users or Matches (on or off the Service), as well as any interactions on Third-Party Platforms done by you outside of our involvement. If you harm someone or violate someone’s rights in the course of using the Service, you are responsible for the consequences.
- Your content: Any content or material that you submit, post, or transmit through our Services (including content you have us post on third-party dating profiles) and that causes damage to or infringes the rights of any third party. For instance, if you gave us a photo to use and it turns out you didn’t have rights to it and the rightful owner sues VIDA, you agree to indemnify us for that.
- Your violation of law or rights: Any violation by you of any law, regulation, or the rights of any third party in connection with your use of the Services. This could range from violation of data privacy laws (e.g., you misused someone’s personal information obtained through the Service) to intellectual property infringement or other legal wrongs.
VIDA reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim as reasonably requested. You further agree not to settle any such matter without the prior written consent of VIDA.
This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and your use of the Services. It means that even after you stop using the Service, if a claim related to your usage arises later, you may still be responsible for costs and damages as described above.
13. Third-Party Beneficiaries and Services
13.1 Third-Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is made for the benefit of you and VIDA, and except as expressly provided in this section, is not intended to confer any third-party beneficiary rights. However, you acknowledge that all disclaimers and limitations of liability in these Terms (in Sections 11 and 12) and the indemnification provision (Section 13) extend to and inure to the benefit of VIDA’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners to the same extent as they apply to VIDA. These individuals and entities are thus third-party beneficiaries of those specific provisions and have the right to enforce them directly against you if needed. Aside from the foregoing, no other person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement has any right to enforce any term of this Agreement.
13.2 Third-Party Services and Links
Our Website or communications may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by VIDA (for example, articles on dating advice, or the login pages for dating platforms). Additionally, as part of our Services, we may recommend or facilitate use of third-party services (like profile photographers, background check services, dating apps, etc.).
Please note:
- No Control: VIDA does not have control over third-party sites or services. These third parties may have their own terms of use and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or actions of any third-party websites or services.
- No Endorsement: The inclusion of any link or suggestion of third-party services is not an endorsement or guarantee by VIDA of that third party’s reliability, quality, or suitability. You use them at your discretion and risk.
- Third-Party Interactions: If you engage with a third-party through a link or recommendation from VIDA (for example, you hire a photographer we suggested or you use a background check tool we provided access to), that transaction is solely between you and the third party. VIDA is not a party to any contract you form with such third-party, and any dispute that arises from that interaction is between you and the third party. However, we welcome feedback if a third-party provider we suggested isn’t performing well – it helps us guide future recommendations.
In short, while we work with and around other services to deliver our matchmaking experience, when you step into those external services, be aware their rules and protections (or lack thereof) apply. VIDA’s liability for third-party actions or services is disclaimed and limited as described earlier in these Terms.
14. Dispute Resolution (Arbitration and Class Waiver)
Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights by requiring arbitration of disputes and waiving class action rights.
14.1 Initial Dispute Resolution
Before taking formal action, you agree to contact VIDA at legal@vidaselect.com and describe the issue in writing. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days. If unresolved, either party may initiate arbitration as set forth below.
14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate
Except where prohibited by law, any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Wyoming or remotely at VIDA's discretion. Wyoming law will apply. The arbitrator may award any relief available in court.
14.3 Class Action Waiver
All proceedings must be conducted on an individual basis. You and VIDA waive any right to participate in class actions, collective claims, or representative suits. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration clause will not apply and any dispute must proceed in court.
14.4 Waiver of Jury Trial
You and VIDA waive the right to a jury trial for any dispute covered by this agreement. If a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you agree to a bench trial.
14.5 Injunctive Relief
VIDA may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or prevent unauthorized use of the Services, without first engaging in arbitration.
14.6 Survival
This section survives termination of the Agreement and remains in effect even if your relationship with VIDA ends.
15. Governing Law
Except as otherwise provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, this Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related to it or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, or if a Claim is subject to judicial proceeding (e.g., a small claims or injunctive action as described in Section 15.5), such action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located within the State of Wyoming, and you and VIDA both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for litigation of such disputes. You also waive any objections to venue in such courts on grounds of inconvenience or otherwise, in favor of resolving the dispute in Wyoming.
While our Services may be accessible in jurisdictions around the world, we make no representations that the content or Services are lawful or available for use in your location. If you access the Services from a location outside Wyoming or the U.S., you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
16. Termination of Services
16.1 Termination by VIDA
As noted in various sections above, VIDA may terminate or suspend your access to the Services (including as a User of the Website or as a paying Client) at our discretion, at any time, with or without notice, and with or without cause. If we terminate your account and/or this Agreement for cause (for example, due to your breach of these Terms or misconduct), such termination may be immediate and without prior notice. If termination is without cause (for example, we decide to discontinue services in your area), we will provide reasonable notice when feasible.
Upon termination, any unused services or payments will be handled in accordance with our Refund Policy (Section 6) and any other relevant sections of these Terms.
16.2 Termination by You
You have the right to stop using our Website or Services at any time. If you are a Client and wish to terminate before the end of your service term, see Section 6.4 (Early Termination by Client) for how to cancel and what, if any, refund you may be entitled to. Simply ceasing to communicate or participate does not necessarily terminate the contract or your payment obligations – you need to explicitly notify us if you wish to cancel going forward.
16.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination of your relationship with VIDA for any reason:
- Your rights to access and use the Services will immediately cease. You must stop using any confidential materials or proprietary documents obtained and, if requested by us, promptly return or destroy any copies in your possession (except that you may keep copies of your own profile content that you provided).
- Any licenses you granted to VIDA (such as the content license in Section 7.2) shall survive to the extent necessary for any permitted uses that survive termination (for instance, if you agreed to let us use a testimonial on our site, that license continues unless revoked by mutual consent).
- Surviving Provisions: All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to: Disclaimer of Warranties (Section 11), Limitation of Liability (Section 12), Indemnification (Section 13), Dispute Resolution (Section 15), Governing Law (Section 16), and any licenses or usage rights to content that were granted to us, as well as any payment obligations you incurred prior to termination. The Privacy Policy also survives with respect to information we retain.
- If your account was terminated due to breach, we may bar you from re-enrolling or using our Services in the future. You must not attempt to circumvent a termination (e.g., by creating a new account under a different name) without our permission.
Termination of this Agreement does not relieve either party from any liability or obligation that accrued prior to the termination (for example, an unpaid invoice or an indemnification obligation for prior act).
If you have terminated and later wish to resume Services, you may contact VIDA to see if re-enrollment is possible. A new agreement and additional fees may apply. We reserve the right to decline reactivation at our discretion.
17. Miscellaneous Provisions
17.1 Severability
If any provision of these Terms (or portion thereof) is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision or part will be deemed to be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. The parties shall in good faith negotiate a valid and enforceable provision to replace the unenforceable provision, reflecting the original intent of the severed clause as closely as possible.
If a certain provision is invalid in one jurisdiction but valid in another, it shall be treated as modified or omitted only to the extent necessary for compliance with the laws of that jurisdiction, without affecting its validity in other jurisdictions.
17.2 Waiver
No failure or delay by VIDA in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power, or privilege.
If VIDA chooses to waive any breach of these Terms by you, that waiver is limited to the particular situation and does not mean that we waive any future breach by you or anyone else. Similarly, any waiver by you of our obligations (for example, giving us extra time to perform a service) is not a blanket waiver of any future obligations.
All waivers must be in writing to be effective.
17.3 Entire Agreement
This Agreement (these Terms and Conditions, along with the incorporated Privacy Policy and any other rules or guidelines posted on our Website that are referenced herein) constitutes the entire agreement between you and VIDA relating to your use of the Services, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, between you and VIDA with respect to the subject matter hereof.
No oral statements or promises by any employee or agent of VIDA (including your matchmaker) will be considered a waiver or amendment of these Terms, or legally binding, unless explicitly set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement signed by an authorized representative of VIDA.
You acknowledge that you are not relying on any representation or warranty outside of those expressly set forth in these Terms.
17.4 Assignment
VIDA may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time, including in the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder to any third party without VIDA's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer, or delegate without consent will be null and void.
Subject to the above, this Agreement will bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and permitted assigns.
17.5 No Agency
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to create a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and VIDA. Except as expressly stated, neither party has the right or authority to bind the other in any way.
You are using our Services as an independent individual. While we act on your behalf in certain limited contexts (like managing a dating profile with your permission), this is as a service provider per your instruction and does not make us your legal agent for broader purposes. You have no authority to make statements, representations, or commitments of any kind that are binding on VIDA, and vice versa, beyond what is explicitly agreed.
17.6 Force Majeure
VIDA will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance of the Services arising out of causes beyond our reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to: acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, flood, pandemic, epidemic, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes or labor shortages, transportation facilities shortages, or any other force majeure event.
If such an event occurs and affects VIDA’s ability to provide Services as agreed, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you and will endeavor to resume performance as soon as practicable. The time for our performance will be extended for a period equal to the duration of the delay caused by the force majeure event. We may also suspend Services during such events without liability.
17.7 Notices
Official notices to VIDA under this Agreement (such as legal disputes or contractual notices of cancellation that must be in writing) shall be sent via email to legal@vidaselect.com and via certified mail or courier to the following address:
VIDA LLC
Attn: Legal Department
2093 Philadelphia Pike
#9090
Claymont, DE 19703
Notice is deemed received on the date of confirmed delivery to both the email and mailing address listed above (or the next business day if delivered after hours).
Notices to you: We may send you notices to the email address or physical address we have on file for you. It is your responsibility to keep those updated. We may also provide legal notices to you via posting on your account dashboard (if applicable) or the Website if an email is not practical. Email notices are deemed received 24 hours after the email is sent, if no bounce-back or error is received.
For routine communications (notices not of a legal nature), your matchmaker or our support team may communicate with you via email, phone, or other channels as described in Section 5.5.
17.8 Headings and Interpretation
The headings used in these Terms (such as “Introduction” or “Eligibility”) are for convenience and reference only. They do not form a part of the Agreement and shall not limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any section of the Terms.
In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise: (a) words denoting the singular include the plural and vice versa; (b) examples are illustrative and not limiting; (c) “including” means “including without limitation”; (d) references to “days” mean calendar days unless specifically stated as “business days”.
17.9 Agreement
