Terms and Conditions

In case of any discrepancies resulting from the translation, the wording used in the English version of the terms and conditions shall take precedence. These are the general terms and conditions of use for the online offer of the android application, referred to as the "Dating App" (hereinafter referred to as the "App"). The App is operated by Loovibe and provides an interactive online communication platform, which includes the exchange of text-based messages and the presentation of user profiles. The App allows the use of different features and services that cater to the specific interests of the users. The App may be advertised under various brand names, which may also be subject to trademark law.

The App is exclusively for individuals who have reached the age of eighteen (18) and are considered consumers as defined by Bulgarian Civil Code (hereinafter referred to as "Member" or "User"). Registration and/or use of the App for commercial or professional purposes, including the sending of any form of advertisement (e.g., via news, etc.) to other users of the App, is strictly prohibited.

1.1 By registering as a user and creating a user account in the Loovibe, the user agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as "Terms"). The user can access the provisions of these Terms at any time, review them in detail, and print or save a copy for their records. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms or on the Loovibe's individual pages, these Terms apply to the use of all features, content, functions, and services (collectively referred to as "Services") provided by the Loovibe.

2.1 In order to use the Services, users must create a profile that includes electronic image files that represent their profile, as well as textual descriptions. Users must be at least eighteen (18) years old to register as a user of the Loovibe. While Loovibe reserves the right to verify a user's age using suitable official documentation, it is not obligated to do so. Users must accurately and completely fill out the electronic registration form provided by the Dating App in order to register.

2.2 By registering, users affirm that they are of legal age and fully capable of entering into this agreement.

3.1 To enter into the agreement for the use of the Loovibe, users must install the software provided by the Loovibe on their mobile device, which enables communication within the network. Users must also register themselves within the network using the software provided.

3.2 Users do not have an inherent right to enter into a usage contract. Loovibe reserves the right to refuse a user without providing a reason. If Loovibe rejects a user, all data provided by the user during registration will be promptly deleted.

4.1 Our free service agreement enables registered users to access the basic features of our dating app (basic user). This includes the ability to view other user's data such as image and text files and to communicate with them through electronic messages within the app until the in-app credits are spent. While we provide the technical services to enable communication, we do not guarantee any success in finding matches, marriages or other forms of matchmaking.

4.2 In addition to the free basic membership, users can choose to purchase additional services from our app for a fee. The pricing and details of these services can be found on our app or within the app's description. The fees can be used for single or multiple uses of a service, as a credit for one or more services, for time-dependent use (e.g., days, weeks, etc.), or other forms of use. Supplementary terms and conditions of the respective provider that regulates the applicable payment modalities apply to the fee-based additional services. The user must agree to these supplementary terms before claiming the services, which results in a paid usage relationship. All fees are due upon the conclusion of the contract unless the applicable supplementary terms contain any deviating regulations.

4.3 The content and scope of the basic functions and the additional paid services offered by our app may be modified, restricted, extended, or discontinued at any time due to continuous further development. If users have already paid fees for services that are subsequently restricted or discontinued or whose use is possible in the future free of charge, the user may require credit to other paid services or a proportionate repayment, if applicable. Any further claims of the user are excluded.

5.1 Our free basic membership runs indefinitely and can be terminated by the user at any time, simply by deleting the user account in the app's settings, or by sending an email to our customer support team at [email protected] or using our customer support page.
‍
5.2 Ordinary termination of chargeable usage conditions is not applicable if the user has subscribed to a subscription. Subscriptions will be automatically extended depending on the chosen period, provided the user does not terminate it within 24 hours' notice of expiration. Termination of paid usage relationships does not affect the existence of free basic usage and the use of basic functions. To terminate the basic user, the user can delete or cancel their profile according to clause 

5.3. Extraordinary termination without notice for good cause remains unaffected and is governed by statutory provisions.

6.1 We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to check user data and content for compliance with our terms and conditions and applicable laws, and to block or delete any content that violates them, in whole or in part.

6.2 Users are responsible for backing up their data if desired. Loovibe does not provide data backup services and assumes no liability for the non-recovery of user data, including databases, in case of data loss or damage. Our liability is excluded, particularly if any damage to the user results from their failure to back up their data, which would otherwise have enabled them to recover lost data at a reasonable cost.

7.1 The user is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account access information, including passwords, and shall not share them with any third party. The user must keep their access information secure and change their passwords regularly, at least every three months.

7.2 If the user shares their access information with third parties or otherwise allows them to use or access their account, we reserve the right to temporarily or permanently suspend or terminate the user's account without prior notice.

7.3 If the user suspects that their account access information has been compromised or used by a third party, they must immediately notify us through our designated channels.

7.4 The user is solely responsible for any activity that occurs under their account, including any unauthorized activity, and shall indemnify us against any claims by third parties, including legal fees and expenses, resulting from such activity. However, we will not be liable for any loss or misuse of the account access information.

8.1 Our app collects, processes, and uses personal information in accordance with the user's granted consent and legal provisions (such as the GDPR). Without explicit consent, we only collect and use personal information to the extent that it is necessary for the execution, use, and, if necessary, settlement.

8.2 Our privacy policy provides information on which data we collect, store, and process, for what purposes, which minimum data is required, which additional voluntary data users may provide, and how we ensure the security of personal information. We also provide technical information regarding data protection, such as cookies and log files.

8.3 Please be aware that any data published by users on our app after approval are made available voluntarily to a broad public.

8.4 We take measures to protect user data, including the use of firewalls and other protective devices.

We are not responsible for any unauthorized access to stored data, even if it results from unintentional circumvention of our security measures.
