Algemene Voorwaarden Badoo (Terms and Conditions)

SERIOUS
DATED 2025-10-28 · VERSION 20260912_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260811_rev01

What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

This version of Badoo's Terms is now explicitly scoped to users outside the United States (US users are sent to a separate document). Along with that split, Badoo removed the forced-arbitration/class-action-waiver clause and a large block of US-only content (Colorado Safety Policy, background-check disclosures, DMCA procedures, Texas venue), and added EU/UK-specific consumer rights (Digital Services Act complaint routes, a right to be notified before action is taken against your account, and a refund window for subscribers outside the US). However, two changes work against you: the company's maximum liability to you drops from the greater of $50 or three months' payments down to a flat £20, and you now explicitly waive 'moral rights' over content you post. A helpful warning that deleting your account does not cancel App Store/Google Play subscriptions was also removed.

Changes that may affect you

Maximum payout to you cut to a flat £20SERIOUS
LIABILITY LIMITS

If Badoo owes you money for a problem covered by these Terms, the most you could ever get is now £20, no matter how much you've spent or lost. Before, the cap was whichever was bigger: $50 or what you paid in the last three months — so heavier spenders had a higher cap. Now everyone is capped at £20, except for things the law never lets a company limit, like death, injury from negligence, or fraud.

“shall in no circumstances exceed £20”

What you can do — Know that for most billing or service disputes, your maximum recovery under these Terms is capped at £20; larger claims involving negligence causing injury or fraud are not subject to this cap.

You now waive 'moral rights' over what you postMATERIAL
CONTENT LICENSE

By posting content you now specifically give up your moral rights, including the right to be credited as the author. This is a new, explicit waiver that wasn't in the previous version.

“you agree that you waive any and all moral rights relating to that Content (including, without limitation, any rights to be identified as the author)”
Sharing your account is now explicitly bannedMINOR
USER OBLIGATIONS

The Terms now specifically say you can't let someone else use your account or share your login without permission, and you're responsible for making sure any use of your account follows the rules.

“we cannot allow you to use another person's Badoo account or to share your Badoo account with any other person without permission”

What you can do — Don't share your Badoo login with friends or family, even temporarily.

Warning about subscriptions surviving account deletion was removedMATERIAL
BILLING & RENEWAL

The old Terms had a bolded reminder that deleting your Badoo account does NOT cancel a subscription bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and that you must cancel it separately to stop being charged. That warning has been removed, which could leave users unaware they're still being billed after deleting their profile.

“In addition to deleting your account, you will also need to cancel/manage any recurring subscriptions purchased via a Third Party Store (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional billing.”

What you can do — When you delete your Badoo account, separately cancel any subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play settings to stop future charges.

New warranty that your data is accurateMINOR
USER OBLIGATIONS

You now explicitly promise that all the personal data you give Badoo is true and accurate, and agree to Badoo's data processing under the Privacy Policy. This is a new formal warranty, not present before.

“By using Badoo, you agree to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is true, correct and accurate.”
Beta-program credits and subscriptions can expire within minutesMINOR
BILLING & RENEWAL

A new Beta Programs section says that if you join an optional beta (like Apple TestFlight), any credits or subscriptions you get during the beta can expire within minutes of being issued and may not transfer to the regular app.

“subscriptions and consumables (including credits) obtained during the beta program have accelerated expiration rates and will expire within a certain number of minutes after selection”

What you can do — If you join a Badoo beta program, use any beta credits immediately rather than saving them.

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDDocument now applies only outside the US

    The Terms now say they apply if you live outside the United States, with US users directed to a separate US-specific version. Previously this document opened by saying it applied if you lived in the United States.

    **If you live in the United States,** these Terms and Conditions apply to you.

    If you live outside the United States, these Terms and Conditions apply to you.

  2. + ADDEDPlain-language summary added

    A new 'The Summary' section was added at the top giving a short, easy-to-read overview of the key rules.

    ## The Summary

  3. − REMOVEDForced arbitration and class-action waiver removed

    The entire binding-arbitration/jury-trial-waiver/class-action-waiver section (previously Section 14) has been deleted from this version. You are no longer required to arbitrate disputes individually under this document — this is a benefit to you.

    PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION

  4. − REMOVEDUS-only sections removed (Colorado Safety Policy, background checks, DMCA, app store terms)

    Large blocks of content that only applied to US users — the Colorado Safety Policy, detailed background-check disclosures, DMCA takedown procedures, and Third Party App Store terms — were removed as out of scope for this version.

    ## 6\. Colorado Safety Policy

  5. ± CHANGEDCompany liability cap lowered to £20

    Previously, if something went wrong, Badoo's maximum payout to you was whichever was larger: $50 or what you'd paid in the last 3 months. Now it's a flat £20 no matter how much you've paid — a real cut to what you could recover.

    EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I)$50 USD, OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO BADOO GROUP DURING THE THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT(S) GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY

    shall in no circumstances exceed £20

  6. ± CHANGEDGoverning law changed from Texas to English law

    Disputes over the Terms are now governed by English law instead of the law of the US state of Texas, consistent with the document now being for non-US users.

    governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas

    governed by and construed in accordance with English law

  7. + ADDEDNew EU rights to notice and dispute resolution

    EU users must now be told when Badoo takes action against their account or content (with limited exceptions), and can use EU out-of-court dispute processes, sue in their home EU country's courts, or complain to their national regulator. UK users get a similar contract-breach right.

    you have additional rights under the Digital Services Act to: (i) access third party out-of-court dispute settlement processes; (ii) seek remedies from the courts in the EU member state in which you live; and (iii) lodge a complaint with your local EU regulatory authority

  8. + ADDEDMoral rights waiver added for posted content

    You now explicitly give up 'moral rights' in content you post, including the right to be identified as its author. This wasn't stated before.

    you agree that you waive any and all moral rights relating to that Content (including, without limitation, any rights to be identified as the author)

  9. + ADDEDExplicit ban on account sharing

    A new clause states Badoo will not allow you to use someone else's account or share yours with others without permission.

    we cannot allow you to use another person's Badoo account or to share your Badoo account with any other person without permission

  10. − REMOVEDSubscription-cancellation reminder removed

    A bolded warning that deleting your Badoo account does not cancel subscriptions bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play — and that you must cancel those separately — has been deleted.

    In addition to deleting your account, you will also need to cancel/manage any recurring subscriptions purchased via a Third Party Store (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional billing.

  11. + ADDEDNew refund window for subscribers outside the US

    Subscribers outside the US can now get a refund (minus any value used) if they cancel within 6 days of starting a weekly subscription, or 14 days for monthly-or-longer subscriptions. Previously this document only listed refund rights for specific US states.

    Subscribers who purchase monthly or longer subscriptions are entitled to a refund of the price of the subscription (minus the value of any portion of the subscription used at the date the refund is requested) if requested within the first 14 days after the subscription starts.

  12. − REMOVEDBroad 'terminate for any reason, no refund' clause removed

    The old clause letting Badoo terminate your account at its sole discretion 'for any reasons whatsoever' with no refund has been deleted from this document.

    We reserve the right at our sole discretion to terminate or suspend any Account

  13. + ADDEDData-accuracy warranty added

    You now explicitly agree to Badoo's data processing and warrant that all data you provide is true, correct and accurate.

    By using Badoo, you agree to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is true, correct and accurate.

  14. + ADDEDDisclosure of matching algorithms added

    Badoo now discloses that it uses matching algorithms/recommender systems to suggest compatible people, with more detail in the Privacy Policy.

    We have developed matching algorithms to predict your compatibility with other users and so we can show you people we think are a good match for you.

  15. + ADDEDNew Beta Programs section with accelerated credit expiry

    A new section describes optional beta programs (e.g., Apple TestFlight), noting that credits and subscriptions obtained during a beta can expire within minutes and may not carry over to the regular app.

    subscriptions and consumables (including credits) obtained during the beta program have accelerated expiration rates and will expire within a certain number of minutes after selection

You can change your Auto Refill at any time in your payment settings on your account's profile page. The pricing may vary due to a number of factors, such as (but not limited to) promotional offers, loyalty bonuses and other discounts.

123
124Premium Services may be provided as automatically-renewing subscriptions (e.g., an automatically renewing one-week subscription, one-month subscription, or three-month subscription.). **IF YOU PURCHASE AN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AT THE END OF THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND EACH SUBSEQUENT RENEWAL PERIOD AT BADOO'S THEN CURRENT PRICE FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION, UNLESS YOU CANCEL.** To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel at least twenty four (24) hours before the end of the prior subscription period as described below. Deleting your account or deleting the application from your device **DOES NOT** cancel your subscription. You will be given notice of changes in the pricing of the Premium Services for which you have subscriptions and an opportunity to cancel.

142131The Badoo Group operates a global business, and our pricing varies by a number of factors. We frequently offer promotional rates - which can vary based on region, length of subscription, bundle size and more. We also regularly test new features and payment options. The Badoo Group reserves the right, including without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue making available any product, feature, service or other offering; to impose conditions on the honouring of any coupon, discount, offer or other promotion; to bar any user from making any transaction; and to refuse to provide any user with any product, service or other offering or to honour any offer.
143132
144133**Free Trials.** If you sign up for a free trial and do not cancel, your trial may convert into a paid subscription and your Premium Payment Method will be charged at the then-current price for such subscription. Once your free trial converts to a paid subscription, your paid subscription will continue to automatically renew at the end of each period, and your Premium Payment Method will be charged, until you cancel. To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel before the end of the then-current subscription period or free trial period as described above. Deleting your account or deleting the application from your device does not cancel your free trial. If you have signed up for a free trial on Badoo through the Apple Store or Google Play Store previously, you will not be eligible for another free trial and you will then be automatically signed up to a subscription and charged as described in this paragraph.

222## 6\. Colorado Safety Policy
223
224In addition to the above terms, If you are a resident of Colorado the following Safety Policy terms also apply to you:
225
226There is certain content we can't allow on Badoo. You may not post, send or upload any Content which:
227
228- is illegal or encourages, promotes or incites any illegal activity including misconduct that threatens public or personal safety such as a threatened act, or attempted act of homicide, unlawful sexual behavior, assault, kidnapping, stalking, harassment, involuntary intoxication, robbery, theft, or any other conduct that threatens public or another person's safety.
229- is harmful to minors;
230- is defamatory or libelous;
231- itself, or the posting of which, infringes any third party's rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights and privacy rights);
232- shows another person which was created or distributed without that person's consent;
233- contains language or imagery which could be deemed offensive or is likely to harass, upset, embarrass, alarm or annoy any other person;

240- in any other way violates these Terms.
241
242## Background Check
243
244In certain circumstances, such as in response to member-generated or press reports of suspected misconduct, the Badoo group may investigate whether a member has a criminal history, which may, depending on the circumstances, include searching sex offender registries or other public records. If such investigations identify a person with a criminal conviction, the Badoo group may use available information to determine whether the person identified by the investigation is the same person as the member about whom the investigation was conducted. following any such investigation, with respect to any member that the Badoo group reasonably believes to have been convicted of a sex offense (such as sexual assault or sexual harassment, and including any registered sex offenders), or a conviction for human trafficking, stalking, kidnapping, child abuse, domestic abuse, murder, hate crimes, or terrorism or violent extremism, the Badoo group may take steps to block that person from using the service and communicating with other members over the platform. The Badoo group reserves the right to block members for other offenses, or for other violations of these terms, or for other reasons in their sole discretion. Criminal background investigations, when conducted, are not typically updated by the Badoo group. Additionally, while investigations for criminal histories may be conducted on some members, they are not foolproof and most members are not expected to be subject to any form of check for criminal histories. Any investigations for criminal histories may give members a false sense of security. The checks for criminal histories that may be conducted by the Badoo group are not a perfect safety solution. Criminals may circumvent even the most sophisticated search technology. Not all criminal records are public in all states and not all databases are up to date. Only publicly available convictions are included in checks, and checks do not cover other types of convictions or arrests or any convictions from foreign countries.
245
246## Identification Verification
247
248To use our service, you must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority to legally enter into a contract under the laws of your home country if that happens to be greater than 18; Please note that we monitor for underage use and we will terminate, suspend or ask you to verify your Account if we have reason to believe that you may be underage.
249
250## When a member may be suspended or blocked
251
252All members must comply with the platform rules described and referenced in our Community Guidelines. If you behave in a way that goes against Badoo's Community Guidelines, values, or otherwise act in any way we believe to be potentially harmful to Badoo or its members, we may take a range of actions on your account. When determining the penalty for violating our community guidelines, we consider a number of factors.
253
254We may:
255
256- Remove the content
257- Issue a warning
258- Ban the offending member from some or all Bumble Inc. apps
259
260When necessary, we also may cooperate with law enforcement to assist in potential criminal investigations related to member conduct.
261
262Your treatment towards others outside of the Badoo app can also result in action against your account. If we're made aware of harm between members on dates, meetups with friends, via text message or direct messaging platforms, or relevant alleged criminal or harmful conduct committed in your past or outside of Badoo, we may take action as if it happened on our platform.
263
264You cannot submit appeals, reports, notices or complaints that are false reports or report for malicious, biased, or other illegitimate reasons.
265
266## Appeals rights and appeal process

300IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS IN RESPONSE TO MEMBER-GENERATED OR PRESS REPORTS OF SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT, THE BADOO GROUP MAY INVESTIGATE WHETHER A MEMBER HAS A CRIMINAL HISTORY, WHICH MAY, DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDE SEARCHING SEX OFFENDER REGISTRIES OR OTHER PUBLIC RECORDS. IF SUCH INVESTIGATIONS IDENTIFY A PERSON WITH A CRIMINAL CONVICTION, THE BADOO GROUP MAY USE AVAILABLE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PERSON IDENTIFIED BY THE INVESTIGATION IS THE SAME PERSON AS THE MEMBER ABOUT WHOM THE INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED. FOLLOWING ANY SUCH INVESTIGATION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MEMBER THAT THE BADOO GROUP REASONABLY BELIEVES TO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF A SEX OFFENSE (SUCH AS SEXUAL ASSAULT OR SEXUAL HARASSMENT, AND INCLUDING ANY REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS), OR A CONVICTION FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING, STALKING, KIDNAPPING, CHILD ABUSE, DOMESTIC ABUSE, MURDER, HATE CRIMES, OR TERRORISM OR VIOLENT EXTREMISM, THE BADOO GROUP MAY TAKE STEPS TO BLOCK THAT PERSON FROM USING THE SERVICE AND COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER MEMBERS OVER THE PLATFORM.

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS, WHEN CONDUCTED, ARE NOT TYPICALLY UPDATED BY THE BADOO GROUP. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE INVESTIGATIONS FOR CRIMINAL HISTORIES MAY BE CONDUCTED ON SOME MEMBERS, THEY ARE NOT FOOLPROOF AND MOST MEMBERS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SUBJECT TO ANY FORM OF CHECK FOR CRIMINAL HISTORIES. ANY INVESTIGATIONS FOR CRIMINAL HISTORIES MAY GIVE MEMBERS A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. THE CHECKS FOR CRIMINAL HISTORIES THAT MAY BE CONDUCTED BY THE BADOO GROUP ARE NOT A PERFECT SAFETY SOLUTION. CRIMINALS MAY CIRCUMVENT EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED SEARCH TECHNOLOGY. NOT ALL CRIMINAL RECORDS ARE PUBLIC IN ALL STATES AND NOT ALL DATABASES ARE UP TO DATE. ONLY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE CONVICTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN CHECKS, AND CHECKS DO NOT COVER OTHER TYPES OF CONVICTIONS OR ARRESTS OR ANY CONVICTIONS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

3701. **When Does This Arbitration Agreement Apply?** This Arbitration Agreement applies to any disputes or claims of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) between you and the Badoo Group arising out of or relating to the Terms, prior versions of the Terms, your use of our App, these Terms or any other aspect of your relationship with Badoo, including claims or disputes arising (but not actually filed in arbitration) before the effective date of these Terms. It requires that, and by entering into these Terms you and the Badoo Group agree, that such disputes or claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except (i) that you or the Badoo Group may assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; (ii) that you or the Badoo Group may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights, and (iii) to the extent the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act precludes arbitration of the disputes or claims.
3712. **Notice of Dispute and Informal Resolution.** Before beginning the arbitration process, you and the Badoo Group agree to first notify one another of the dispute in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating an arbitration. Notice to the Badoo Group must be sent by letter to our registered agent: CT Corporation, 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801, and must provide your name, current email address, mailing address, and telephone number, as well as the name, email address, and telephone number associated with your Badoo account (if different from your current information); and describe the nature of the claim and the specific relief being sought.

373 <
274### What about all of those standard clauses that you see at the end of most contracts? They're the best bit!
374275
375 You and the Badoo Group agree to meet and confer, via teleconference or videoconference, in a good faith effort to informally resolve any claim or dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement. If either party is represented by counsel, that counsel may participate in the informal dispute resolution conference. During this process, you may be provided with an offer of judgment. A party defending against a claim may serve on an opposing party an offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the costs then accrued. If the judgment that the offeree finally obtains is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, the offeree must pay the costs incurred after the offer was made.
276As you asked so nicely...
376277
377 All offers, promises, conduct, and statements made in the course of the informal dispute resolution process by any party, its agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential and not admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the informal dispute resolution process.
278The Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be are governed by and construed in accordance with English law. In the event there is a discrepancy between this English language version and any translated copies of the Website Terms and Conditions, the English version shall prevail.
378279
379 The informal dispute resolution conference shall occur within 60 days of receipt of the written notice described above, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon. If, after participating in that conference, the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the claimant may commence an arbitration in accordance with this Agreement. Completion of this informal dispute resolution is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration. Failure to do so is a breach of this Agreement, and no demand for arbitration shall be valid unless such written notice is provided and good faith discussions have been conducted.
280We reserve the right to modify, amend or change the Terms at any time (a "**Change**"). If we do this then the Changes will be posted on this page and we will indicate the effective date of the updates at the bottom of the Terms. In certain circumstances, we may send an email to you notifying you of any Change. You should regularly check this page to take notice of any Changes.
380281
381 Any statute of limitations will be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process described in this section.
282If you do not accept any Change to the Terms, you should stop using Badoo immediately. Your continued use of Badoo following any Change constitutes your acceptance of the Change and you will be legally bound by the new updated Terms.
382283
3833. **How Do You Start The Arbitration Process?** If you and the Badoo Group are unable to resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration. To begin the arbitration process, you or the Badoo Group must submit notice by certified mail of the claim with an individualized arbitration demand. To be valid, the demand must contain the name of the claiming party (you or the Badoo Group), your or Badoo Group's mailing address, the email address or phone number associated with your Badoo account (if applicable), and a detailed description of the dispute and the relief sought. Notice to the Badoo Group must be submitted to our registered agent: CT Corporation, 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801.
3844. **What Are The Rules Of Arbitration?** The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") governs this Arbitration Agreement and applies to the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue regarding the interpretation or enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, that issue shall be determined by Texas law, notwithstanding choice-of-law principles, pursuant to Section 14 of the Terms. The applicable arbitration provider depends on where you live. If you live in California, the arbitration will be administered by ADR Services, Inc. under its most current arbitration rules and procedures , available at https://www.adrservices.com/services-2/arbitration-rules/. If you live outside of California, the arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation under its most current Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, available at: https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms, or under its most current Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitrations, as applicable, available at https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2021/12/SupplementalRules12.22.21.pdf. If the applicable arbitration provider is not available to arbitrate, including because it is not able to administer the arbitration(s) consistent with the rules, procedures, and terms of this Arbitration Agreement, including those described in Section 14(8) (Mass Filings), the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the parties cannot agree on an appropriate alternative arbitration provider, then the parties will ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5 that is able to administer the arbitration(s) consistent with the rules, procedures, and terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will govern to the extent it conflicts with the arbitration provider's rules.
385
386 The initiating party must pay all filing fees for the arbitration. Your and the Badoo Group's responsibility to pay other administrative and arbitrator costs will be as set forth in the applicable arbitration provider's rules, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. If a claim is determined to be frivolous, the claimant is responsible for reimbursing the respondent for its portion of all such administrative, hearing, and/or other fees incurred as a result of the frivolous claim.
387
388 You may qualify for a waiver of certain arbitration costs under the applicable arbitration provider's rules or other applicable law. If you meet the standard for proceeding in forma pauperis in federal court, Texas state court, or the courts of your state of residence, cannot obtain a waiver from the arbitration provider of any filing fees you are required to pay, and the arbitration provider refuses to administer the arbitration without your payment of said fees, the Badoo Group will pay the filing fees for you.
389
3905. **What Can The Arbitrator Decide?** The arbitrator has the exclusive authority to resolve any and all threshold arbitrability issues, including whether this Arbitration Agreement is applicable, enforceable, or unconscionable. Courts, however, shall have the exclusive authority to determine (i) whether any provision of this Arbitration Agreement should be severed and the consequences of said severance, (ii) the enforceability of any or all of the mass arbitration procedures set forth in Section 14(8), (iii) whether you have complied with conditions precedent to arbitration, and (iv) whether an arbitration provider is available to hear the arbitration(s) under Section 14(4).
391
392The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available in an individual lawsuit under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief that a judge in a court of law would have in an individual lawsuit. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
393
394Pursuant to and in conformance with Section 15 of the Terms, any original action to compel arbitration under Section 4 of the FAA (or analogous state law) must be brought in a State or Federal Court located in Travis County, Texas.
395
3968. **No Jury Trials.** By agreeing to arbitration, YOU AND BADOO ARE EACH AGREEING TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. Instead, you and the Badoo Group are electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as described in Section 14(1) above. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Arbitration Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
3979. **One At A Time.** All claims and disputes within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND YOU AND THE BADOO GROUP GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. However, this shall not preclude the use of bellwether arbitrations, global mediation, or batch arbitrations as described in Section 13(8) below, nor preclude the application of the arbitration provider's fee schedules for mass arbitrations, as applicable. Only relief that would be permitted in an individual lawsuit is available, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user, except as provided in Section 14(8) below, nor shall this preclude application of the arbitration provider's fee schedules for mass arbitrations, as applicable. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as provided in Section 14(8) below, nor shall this preclude application of the arbitration provider's fee schedules for mass arbitrations, as applicable.
398
399For mass arbitrations before ADR Services, Inc., you and Badoo Group agree that its mass arbitration fee schedule shall apply, available at https://www.adrservices.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/ADR-Mass-Consumer-Non-Employment-Fee-Schedule-Eff-11-5-21.pdf. For mass arbitrations before National Arbitration and Mediation, you and Badoo Group agree that its mass arbitration fee schedule shall apply, available at https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2023/07/Consumer-Fees-as-of-7.1.2023-updated-as-of-7.1.2023.pdf. For mass arbitrations before any other arbitration provider, you agree that its mass arbitration fee schedule shall apply. If the arbitrator does not have a fee schedule for mass filings, then the claims must proceed in court.
400
401If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection's limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in Travis County, Texas. All other claims shall be arbitrated. This subsection does not prevent you or Badoo from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
402
40312. **Mass Filings.** If, at any time 30 or more similar demands for arbitration are asserted against Badoo or related parties by the same or coordinated counsel or entities, or if the Badoo Group asserts 30 or more similar demands for arbitration or counterclaims against similarly-situated parties, within a period of 60 days or otherwise close in proximity ("Mass Filing"), the additional protocols set forth below shall apply:
404 - _Acknowledgment of Mass Filing protocols._ If you or Badoo Group, or your or our counsel, files a demand for arbitration that fits within the definition of Mass Filing referred to above, then you and we agree that the demand for arbitration shall be subject to the additional protocols set forth in this Mass Filings subsection. If the parties disagree as to whether a series of filings fits within the definition of Mass Filing above, the arbitration provider shall resolve the disagreement. You and we also acknowledge that the adjudication of the dispute may be delayed and that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled from the time of filing of the demand for arbitration, and pending resolution of the bellwether proceedings.
405 - _Bellwether Arbitrations._ Bellwether proceedings are encouraged by courts and arbitration administrators where there are multiple disputes involving similar claims against the same or related parties. The parties shall select ten individual arbitration claims (five per side), designated the "Initial Test Cases," to proceed to arbitration. Only the Initial Test Cases shall be filed with the arbitrator. All other claims shall be held in abeyance. This means that the filing fees will be paid only for the Initial Test Cases; for all other demands for arbitration in a Mass Filing, the filing fees (together with any arbitrator consideration of the other demands) will be in abeyance, and neither You nor Badoo will be required to pay any such filing fees. You and Badoo Group also agree that neither you nor we shall be deemed to be in breach of this Arbitration Agreement for failure to pay any such filing fees, and that neither you nor we shall be entitled to any contractual, statutory, or other remedies, damages, or sanctions of any kind for failure to pay any such filing fees. If, pursuant to this subsection, a party files non-Bellwether Arbitrations with the arbitration provider, the parties agree that the arbitration provider shall hold those demands in abeyance and not refer them to the arbitrator pending resolution of the Initial Test Cases. Unless the claims are resolved in advance or the schedule is extended, the arbitrators will render a final award for the Initial Test Cases within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference.
406 - _Global Mediation._ Following the resolution of the Initial Test Cases, the parties agree to engage in a global mediation of all the remaining individual arbitration claims comprising the Mass Filing ("Global Mediation"), deferring any filing costs associated with the non-Initial Test Cases until the Initial Test Cases and subsequent Global Mediation have concluded. After the final awards are provided to the mediator in the Initial Test Cases, the mediator and the parties shall have 90 days to agree upon a substantive methodology and make an offer to resolve the outstanding cases. If the Parties are unable to resolve the outstanding claims during the Global Mediation, the Parties may choose to opt out of the arbitration process and proceed in court with the remaining claims. Notice of the opt-out shall be provided in writing within 60 days of the close of the Global Mediation. Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations may then be filed and administered by the arbitration provider pursuant to this Agreement's Batch Arbitration provision below and the arbitrator's fee schedule for mass filings as described in Subsection 14(7) above, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. You and we also acknowledge that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled pending resolution of the global mediation process.
407 - _Batch Arbitration._ To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Badoo Group agree that in the event a Mass Filing is not resolved by the Bellwether Arbitration and Global Mediation processes described above, the arbitration provider will (1) administer the remaining arbitration demands in batches of 100 demands per batch; (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award ("Batch Arbitration"). If the arbitration provider will not administer the Batch Arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, then the arbitration provider's mass arbitration fee schedule shall apply.
408 - _Enforcement of Subsection._ A Court of competent jurisdiction located in a venue allowed under Section 15 of the Terms and Conditions shall have the power to enforce this subsection.
40913. **Offer of Judgment.** At least 14 days before the date set for the arbitration hearing, any party may serve an offer in writing upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a favorable award, the other party shall not recover any post-offer costs to which they otherwise would be entitled and shall pay the offering party's costs from the time of the offer.
41014. **Opt-Out.** Updates to Badoo's Terms do not provide a new opportunity for you to opt out of arbitration if you previously agreed to a prior version of Badoo's Terms containing an arbitration provision and did not validly opt out of arbitration.
411
412- _Previous or existing users._ Users who previously agreed to arbitrate may reject this updated Arbitration Agreement by following the opt-out method below, but such users will still be bound by the most recent prior version of the Arbitration Agreement and will otherwise be bound by these Terms. Previous or existing users who do not opt out of this updated Arbitration Agreement will be bound by this Arbitration Agreement and it shall apply to all disputes between such users and Badoo, including those arising (but not actually filed in arbitration) before the effective date of these Terms. Arbitration demands that have already been actually filed with an arbitration provider before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement and in compliance with a prior version of this Arbitration Agreement are subject to the prior version's terms.
413- _New users._ Users who create a Badoo account for the first time on or after July 31, 2023 may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement as set forth below.
414
41516. **Method and impact of opting out.** Subject to the above, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [badoo.optout@badoo.com](mailto:badoo.optout@badoo.com), within 31 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name, your Badoo username (if any), the email address and/or phone number you used to set up your Badoo account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Terms and any other agreements between you and Badoo will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
41617. **Severability.** Except as provided in subsection 14(7), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If a court decides that any of the provisions in the Arbitration Agreement above is invalid or unenforceable because it would prevent the exercise of a non-waivable right to pursue public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in court. All other disputes subject to arbitration under the terms of the Arbitration Agreement shall be arbitrated under its terms.
41718. **Survival of Agreement.** The terms of this Arbitration Agreement will continue, even after your relationship with Badoo has ended.
418
419## 15\. Miscellaneous
420
421The Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to conflicts of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods does not apply to these Terms. In the event there is a discrepancy between this English language version and any translated copies of these Terms, the English version shall prevail.
422
423We reserve the right to modify, amend or change the Terms at any time (a "**Change**"). If we do this then the Changes will be posted on this page and we will indicate the effective date of the updates at the bottom of the Terms. In certain circumstances, we may send an email to you notifying you of any Change, and/or require you to consent to such Change. You should regularly check this page to take notice of any Changes. If you do not accept any Change to the Terms, you must stop using Badoo immediately. Your continued use of Badoo following any Change constitutes your acceptance of the Change and you will be legally bound by the new updated Terms.
424
425284If, for any reason, any of the Terms are declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of a competent jurisdiction, then to the extent that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from the Terms and the remainder of the Terms shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable.
426285
427286The Terms set out the entire agreement and understanding between us and you in relation to your use of Badoo and supersedes all previous agreements, representations and arrangements between us (either oral or written). Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
428287
429288No failure or delay by us in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Terms shall operate as a waiver of such right or acceptance of any variation of the Terms and nor shall any single or partial exercise by either party of any right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
430289
431290Nothing in the Terms shall confer or purport to confer on any other third party, any benefit or the right to enforce any term of the Terms and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 which shall not apply to the Terms.
432291
433These Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Badoo Group's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
434
435Where Badoo Group requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Badoo Group with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Badoo Group is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Agreement, Badoo Group's dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.
436
437The communications between you and Badoo Group may take place via electronic means, whether you use Badoo or send Badoo Group emails, or whether Badoo Group posts notices in Badoo or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Badoo Group in electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Badoo Group provides to you electronically satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights, including but not limited to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act at 15 U.S.C. Sec. 7001 et. seq.
438

450## 16\. THIRD PARTY APP STORE
451
452The following additional terms and conditions apply to you if you download Badoo from a Third Party Store. To the extent that the other terms and conditions of these Terms are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this Section, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this Section will apply, but solely with respect to Badoo and the Third Party Store. You acknowledge and agree that:
453
4541. These Terms are concluded solely between you and the Badoo Group and not with the providers of the Third Party Store, and the Badoo Group (and not the Third Party Store providers) is solely responsible for Badoo and the content thereof. To the extent that these Terms provide for usage rules for Badoo which are less restrictive or in conflict with the applicable terms of service of the Third Party Store from which you obtain Badoo, the more restrictive or conflicting term of the Third Party Store will take precedence and will apply.
4552. The Third Party Store provider has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to Badoo. The Badoo Group is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. The Third Party Store provider will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to Badoo, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of the Badoo Group.
4563. The Badoo Group, not the Third Party Store provider, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to Badoo or your possession and/or use of Badoo, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that Badoo fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; and/or (iv) intellectual property infringement claims.
4574. The Third Party Store provider and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, the Third Party Store provider from whom you obtained Badoo will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
