Terms & Conditions

About ARFA

ARFA is an ecosystem built around value, intentional selection and meaningful relationships.

ARFA consists of two complementary areas:

For more information about ARFA, visit About ARFA.

By accessing ARFA or creating an account, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms.

These Terms apply whether you:

• Visit ARFA as a guest;
• Read ARFA Academy content;
• Create an ARFA Club account;
• Create or maintain an ARFA profile;
• Use discovery or selection features;
• Communicate with other members;
• Purchase a membership or other paid service;
• Otherwise interact with ARFA.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use ARFA.

Eligibility

ARFA is intended exclusively for adults.

By using ARFA, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years old;
• You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
• The information you provide to ARFA is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
• You will maintain accurate and current account information;
• Your use of ARFA will comply with applicable laws and regulations;
• You will comply with these Terms and other applicable ARFA policies.

ARFA reserves the right to restrict, suspend or terminate accounts where eligibility requirements are not met.

Your ARFA Account

Certain ARFA features require you to create an account.

You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate information;
• Keeping your account information current;
• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials;
• Preventing unauthorized access to your account;
• All activity occurring through your account.

You must not:

• Share your password with another person;
• Allow another person to use your account;
• Create an account for another person without authorization;
• Sell, transfer or otherwise assign your account;
• Create multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing ARFA policies or restrictions.

If you believe your account has been compromised, you should contact ARFA promptly.

Building Your Profile

ARFA allows members to create profiles containing information about themselves, their lifestyle, direction, values, preferences and relationship goals.

You are responsible for the information you provide.

You agree that information contained in your profile should be:

• Truthful;
• Accurate;
• Not intentionally misleading;
• Relevant to the purpose of your profile;
• Consistent with these Terms.

You should update your profile when important information changes.

Members are therefore encouraged to provide meaningful information that helps others understand who they are, where they are going and what they value.

Your Content

For purposes of these Terms, "Content" includes information, text, photographs, videos, profile descriptions, messages and other material that you submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available through ARFA.

You remain responsible for your Content.

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to use the Content;
• Your Content does not violate the rights of another person;
• Your Content does not violate applicable law;
• Your Content does not intentionally misrepresent you;
• Your Content complies with these Terms.

You should only upload photographs and other materials that you have the right to use.

License to User Content

By submitting Content to ARFA, you grant ARFA a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit and technically process that Content as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure and improve the ARFA services.

This license exists only for purposes connected with operating and developing ARFA and does not transfer ownership of your Content to ARFA.

You retain ownership of Content that you own.

When you remove Content or delete your account, ARFA may retain copies where reasonably necessary for legitimate operational, security, legal, backup or compliance purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Public and Member-Visible Information

ARFA is designed to allow members to discover and learn about other members.

Information that you choose to include in your profile may therefore be visible to other members depending on the functionality of ARFA and your privacy settings.

You should carefully consider what information you choose to make available.

Do not publish:

• Passwords;
• Financial information;
• Government identification numbers;
• Highly sensitive personal information;
• Information belonging to another person without permission.

Once you voluntarily share information with another member, ARFA cannot control what that person may subsequently do with that information.

Acceptable Use

ARFA exists to facilitate lawful, respectful and intentional relationship-oriented interactions.

You agree to use ARFA only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You must not use ARFA to:

• Harass, threaten, intimidate or abuse another person;
• Stalk another member;
• Promote violence or credible threats of violence;
• Engage in discrimination or hateful conduct;
• Impersonate another person;
• Create intentionally deceptive profiles;
• Defraud or scam another member;
• Request or solicit money through deceptive means;
• Promote illegal activities;
• Promote illegal substances;
• Facilitate human trafficking;
• Facilitate prostitution or commercial sexual services;
• Exploit or solicit minors;
• Distribute malware or harmful software;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to ARFA systems;
• Interfere with the operation or security of ARFA;
• Circumvent technical restrictions or account restrictions;
• Scrape or systematically collect member information;
• Use automated systems to access ARFA without authorization;
• Sell, rent or transfer access to your account;
• Use ARFA for unauthorized commercial solicitation;
• Spam or send unsolicited bulk communications;
• Violate another person's intellectual property or privacy rights;
• Encourage another person to violate these Terms.

ARFA may take appropriate action when these rules are violated.

Respectful Interaction

ARFA is designed around meaningful relationships and intentional selection.

Differences in attraction, preferences, values, lifestyle, culture, goals or relationship expectations are part of the nature of human relationships.

You may decide that another person is not compatible with you.

You must nevertheless treat other members with reasonable respect.

You must not use ARFA to humiliate, degrade, threaten, manipulate, intimidate or intentionally harm another member.

Relationships and Member Interactions

ARFA provides a platform that allows people to discover and communicate with one another.

However, ARFA does not control the behavior of individual members outside the platform.

You are responsible for your decisions and interactions with other members.

ARFA does not guarantee:

• That a profile is completely accurate;
• That a member is who they claim to be;
• That a member has the intentions they describe;
• That a member will behave appropriately;
• That you will meet a particular person;
• That you will establish a relationship;
• That a relationship will be successful;
• That any particular compatibility or outcome will occur.

Any decision to communicate with, meet or develop a relationship with another person is ultimately your responsibility.

Personal Safety

Use good judgment when interacting with people online or meeting them in person.

We strongly recommend that you:

• Take time to get to know someone before meeting them;
• Communicate through ARFA before voluntarily sharing personal contact information;
• Meet in public places initially;
• Tell someone you trust about your plans;
• Arrange your own transportation;
• Avoid sending money to people you have met online;
• Never share passwords or financial information;
• Leave any situation that makes you feel unsafe.

If another member requests money, threatens you, impersonates someone, engages in harassment or otherwise behaves suspiciously, you should report the account to ARFA.

ARFA may take action based on reports and available information.

No Guarantee of Compatibility

ARFA provides tools designed to help members make more intentional decisions.

These tools may include profile information, preferences, selection criteria, refinement features, discovery features and matching or alignment functionality.

However, ARFA does not guarantee compatibility or relationship outcomes.

A profile, selection result, recommendation, match or other platform indication should not be interpreted as a guarantee that two people are compatible.

ARFA Academy Content

ARFA Academy provides educational and informational content.

Academy content may discuss subjects including:

• Attraction;
• Value;
• Purpose;
• Relationships;
• Compatibility;
• Standards;
• Personal development;
• Masculine and feminine development;
• Family;
• Long-term relationships;
• Social and relationship dynamics.

Academy content represents educational material and frameworks intended to encourage reflection and better decision-making.

It is not a substitute for professional legal, medical, psychological, financial or other specialized advice.

Different people may interpret or apply educational material differently.

You remain responsible for your own decisions and actions.

Intellectual Property

ARFA and its licensors own or control the intellectual property associated with ARFA, including where applicable:

• The ARFA name;
• ARFA trademarks;
• Logos;
• Website design;
• Software;
• Platform functionality;
• ARFA Academy editorial content;
• Original articles;
• Graphics;
• Images created or licensed by ARFA;
• Text;
• Databases;
• Other proprietary materials.

Except where permitted by law or expressly authorized by ARFA, you may not:

• Copy substantial portions of ARFA content;
• Reproduce ARFA materials commercially;
• Modify or redistribute ARFA proprietary materials;
• Sell ARFA content;
• Use ARFA trademarks without authorization;
• Reverse engineer or attempt to reproduce ARFA software;
• Systematically scrape ARFA content.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of ARFA intellectual property to you.

Third-Party Content and Services

ARFA may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, applications, payment providers, analytics services or other services.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and policies.

ARFA is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security or practices of third-party services that are outside ARFA's control.

Your use of a third-party service may therefore be subject to additional terms between you and that provider.

Payments and Memberships

Some ARFA services or features may be offered free of charge while others may require payment.

Where payment is required, the applicable price, billing period, renewal terms and other conditions will be presented to you before purchase.

By purchasing a paid service, you authorize the applicable payment provider to process the transaction according to the terms presented at the time of purchase.

Unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law:

• Paid services are associated with the account that purchased them;
• Memberships and credits are not transferable;
• You are responsible for maintaining accurate billing information;
• You are responsible for reviewing the applicable purchase terms before completing a transaction.

Any cancellation, renewal or refund rights will be governed by the applicable purchase terms and mandatory consumer protection laws.

Changes to ARFA Services

ARFA is continuously developed.

We may from time to time:

• Add features;
• Remove features;
• Modify existing functionality;
• Change the design or structure of the platform;
• Introduce new services;
• Discontinue certain services;
• Change how particular features operate.

We will make reasonable efforts to maintain the functionality of ARFA, but we do not guarantee that every feature will always be available.

Account Suspension and Termination

You may stop using ARFA at any time.

ARFA may suspend, restrict or terminate an account where reasonably necessary, including when:

• You violate these Terms;
• You violate applicable law;
• Your conduct creates a security risk;
• Your conduct threatens or harms another member;
• Your account is associated with fraudulent activity;
• You provide materially false information;
• You attempt to circumvent platform restrictions;
• Your continued access creates a risk to ARFA or its members.

Where appropriate, ARFA may take action without prior notice.

Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

Effect of Termination

If your account is terminated or deleted, you may lose access to:

• Your profile;
• Messages;
• Preferences;
• Membership features;
• Other account-related information.

Certain information may continue to be retained where required or permitted by applicable law or where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance or legitimate operational purposes.

For additional information, please review the ARFA Privacy Policy.

Service Availability

ARFA is provided on an ongoing basis, but we cannot guarantee that the website or platform will always be:

• Available;
• Uninterrupted;
• Error-free;
• Completely secure;
• Free from technical problems.

Temporary interruptions may occur due to maintenance, upgrades, infrastructure issues, security events, third-party services or circumstances outside ARFA's reasonable control.

Disclaimer of Warranties

ARFA does not guarantee that:

• The platform will always be available;
• Information provided by members will always be accurate;
• Profiles will always represent current circumstances;
• Particular members will be available;
• A particular match or connection will occur;
• The platform will produce a particular relationship outcome;
• Academy content will produce a particular personal or relationship result.

Your use of ARFA is voluntary and at your own discretion.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARFA and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use ARFA.

This includes, where legally permitted, losses arising from:

• Interactions between members;
• Conduct of other users;
• Content posted by members;
• Relationships formed through ARFA;
• Decisions made based on member information;
• Temporary service interruptions;
• Third-party services;
• Unauthorized access caused by circumstances outside ARFA's reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Member Disputes

You are responsible for your interactions with other members.

If you have a dispute with another member, you should first attempt to resolve the matter directly where it is safe and appropriate to do so.

You may also report violations of these Terms to ARFA.

ARFA may investigate reports and take action where appropriate, but ARFA is not required to resolve private disputes between members.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend and hold harmless ARFA and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages and reasonable costs arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms;
• Your unlawful use of ARFA;
• Content you submit that violates another person's rights;
• Your misuse of the platform;
• Your violation of applicable law.

This provision applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Privacy

Your use of ARFA is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains how ARFA collects, uses, stores, protects and shares personal information.

By using ARFA, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.

Reporting Violations

If you believe that another member has violated these Terms or is using ARFA in a manner that creates a safety, legal or security concern, please contact ARFA.

When reporting an issue, provide as much relevant information as reasonably possible, including:

• The member's profile;
• Relevant messages or content;
• The nature of the concern;
• Any information necessary for ARFA to investigate.

Do not knowingly submit false or malicious reports.

Copyright Complaints

ARFA respects intellectual property rights.

If you believe that content available through ARFA infringes your copyright, you may contact us with sufficient information to identify:

• The copyrighted work;
• The material you believe is infringing;
• Where the material appears on ARFA;
• Your contact information;
• Information reasonably demonstrating your rights in the work.

ARFA may investigate legitimate copyright complaints and take appropriate action.

Changes to These Terms

ARFA may update these Terms from time to time.

When we make changes, we may update the Effective Date at the beginning of this document.

Where appropriate or required by applicable law, ARFA may provide additional notice of material changes.

Your continued use of ARFA after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree with updated Terms, you should stop using ARFA.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to ARFA will be governed by the laws applicable to ARFA and the jurisdiction in which ARFA is legally established, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection or other rights that may apply to you under the laws of your place of residence.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, we encourage you to contact ARFA so that we can attempt to resolve the matter informally.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising rights that cannot legally be waived or limited.

The specific governing law, jurisdiction and dispute-resolution provisions should be reviewed and confirmed by ARFA's legal counsel before publication.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

No Waiver

If ARFA does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that ARFA waives its right to enforce that provision later.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the ARFA Privacy Policy and any additional terms specifically presented to you for particular services, constitute the agreement governing your use of ARFA.

If a specific service contains additional terms, those terms will apply to that service in addition to these Terms.

If you have questions regarding these Terms & Conditions, please contact ARFA.
