Legal
By downloading, installing, or using the Deseret Singles app or website ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Deseret Singles ("we," "us," or "our"). We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use Deseret Singles. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.
Deseret Singles is a values-based platform for Latter-day Saint singles and those who sincerely live by LDS standards. By creating an account, you represent that you will conduct yourself in accordance with those standards while using the Service. We reserve the right to deny or revoke access to anyone we determine, in our sole discretion, does not belong in this community.
You may not create or maintain an account if you are required to register as a sex offender, or if you have been convicted of a felony or any crime involving violence or sexual misconduct.
How we verify eligibility: when you create an account, we require you to separately and explicitly confirm that (a) you are 18 or older and (b) you are not a registered sex offender, and that the information you provide is accurate and complete and your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws. Providing false eligibility information is a violation of these Terms and grounds for immediate removal. We may use additional verification measures (such as optional photo verification) and may suspend or remove any account we believe is ineligible.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You may not share your account with anyone or create multiple accounts.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your profile and to update that information as needed. Profiles must represent you — you may not impersonate another person or use a false identity.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, notify us immediately at hello@deseretsingles.com.
Deseret Singles is built around the values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. All users are expected to treat one another with respect and integrity consistent with those values.
You agree not to:
· Post content that is sexually explicit, vulgar, harassing, threatening, or demeaning.
· Use the Service to solicit money, advertise products or services, or engage in any commercial activity without our written consent.
· Harass, stalk, intimidate, or harm another member in any way.
· Post false information, create fake profiles, or misrepresent your identity, age, or faith.
· Share another member's private information without their consent.
· Attempt to access, scrape, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service.
· Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
Violations may result in immediate suspension or permanent removal from the platform without refund.
You retain ownership of content you submit to Deseret Singles (photos, bio text, messages, etc.). By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, display, and transmit that content solely for the purpose of operating the Service.
You represent that you have the right to post any content you submit and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party.
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or our Community Standards, without notice.
Events: Submitting an in-person event is available to verified members only. Event listings are user content and are automatically screened against our event guidelines; listings that do not meet them are hidden. You are solely responsible for any event you organize or attend, and for your conduct and safety at it. Deseret Singles does not host, sponsor, or supervise member-submitted events and makes no representations about them.
Automated processing & verification: Messages you send are automatically screened for safety and may be translated into other members' languages using a third-party AI service (Anthropic). If you choose to verify your profile, you complete a short, live face scan that is processed by a facial-liveness and facial-comparison service (Amazon Rekognition Face Liveness), which involves biometric data. We ask for your explicit consent before the first scan, and by completing it you consent to this processing as described in our Privacy Policy.
Deseret Singles is currently free to download and use — all features are free during our launch period. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions offered at this time.
Pioneering Members: the first 2,500 members keep the current Premium feature set free for life. This permanent promise covers the Premium features as they exist today; future improvements, enhancements, new features, or separate at-cost add-ons may be offered as separate products (which may be paid) and are not included in the free-for-life grant.
If optional paid subscriptions are introduced in the future, pricing and terms will be shown in the app before any purchase, and all payments would be processed by Apple Inc. through the App Store under Apple's payment terms (we do not store your payment information). Such subscriptions would automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period and could be managed or cancelled through your Apple ID account settings; we would not offer refunds for partially unused subscription periods except as required by applicable law or Apple's refund policies.
Some members participate as Brand Ambassadors and receive a personal referral code. By using an ambassador's code at signup, you agree that your account will be linked to that ambassador for referral tracking, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Ambassadors may be eligible for compensation based on the number of their referrals who complete photo verification, at rates we set and may change at any time. This compensation is paid to the ambassador outside the App (for example, by Venmo or Zelle); it is not a payment for app features and is not processed through Apple's in-app purchase system.
We may suspend or remove a member's Brand Ambassador status, referral code, or any unpaid compensation at our sole discretion, including for violations of these Terms or our community standards.
Deseret Singles provides optional safety features including SafeDate™, which allows you to designate a trusted contact to be notified if you do not check in during a specified time window.
These features are provided as a convenience and are not a substitute for your own judgment and precautions when meeting someone in person. Deseret Singles is not responsible for the actions of any user you meet through the Service.
You are solely responsible for ensuring your trusted contact's information is accurate and that they are aware they may receive safety alerts on your behalf.
SafeDate™ is not a substitute for professional emergency services. In any emergency, contact local emergency services (911 in the US) first. We are not responsible for outcomes resulting from the use or non-use of this feature.
All content, design, trademarks, logos, and software comprising the Deseret Singles Service are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.
Deseret Singles is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or harmful components.
We do not conduct criminal background checks on users and make no representations about the character, background, or intentions of any user you meet through the Service. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Deseret Singles shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including but not limited to damages for personal injury, loss of data, or loss of goodwill.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.
You may delete your account at any time from within the app. Upon deletion, your profile and personal data will be removed within 30 days per our Privacy Policy. Deleted accounts are recoverable for 30 days, after which all data is permanently removed; we may send you account-related emails during that window, including a message based on the reason you selected when leaving, and a limited number of return invitations afterward (each with a one-tap opt-out).
You may instead pause your account, which hides your profile from other members indefinitely without deleting any data. Paused accounts retain their member benefits (including Pioneering Member status) and can be resumed at any time by signing back in.
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or our Community Standards, or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any subscription fees.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Deseret Singles regarding your use of the Service and supersede all prior agreements or understandings.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms were written in English. We may provide translations into other languages for your convenience. The English-language version is the official, controlling version. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the English version and a translated version, the English version governs.
