Tinder values its relationship with you and appreciates the mutual benefit realized from informally resolving Disputes (as defined below). Before formally pursuing a Dispute in arbitration or small claims court, you agree to first send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to Match Group Legal, P.O. Box 25458, Dallas, Texas 75225, USA. If Tinder has a Dispute with you, Tinder agrees to first send a Notice to you at your most recent email address on file with us, or, if no email address is on file, other contact information associated with your account. Your Notice must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name; (2) information that enables Tinder to identify your account, including a picture or screenshot of your profile, your address, mobile phone number, email address, and date of birth you used to register your account if any; and (3) a detailed description of your Dispute, including the nature and factual basis of your claim(s) and the relief you are seeking with a corresponding calculation of your alleged damages (if any). You must personally sign this Notice for it to be effective. Tinder’s Notice must likewise set forth a detailed description of its Dispute, which shall include the nature and factual basis of its claim(s) and the relief it is seeking, with a corresponding calculation of our damages (if any). You and Tinder agree to then negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute. As part of these good faith negotiations, if Tinder requests a telephone conference with you to discuss your Dispute, you agree to personally participate, with your attorney if you’re represented by counsel. Likewise, if you request a telephone conference to discuss Tinder’s Dispute with you, Tinder agrees to have one representative participate. This informal process should lead to a resolution of the Dispute. However, if the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of a fully completed Notice and the Parties have not otherwise mutually agreed to an extension of this informal dispute resolution time period, you or Tinder may initiate an arbitration (subject to a Party’s right to elect small claims court as provided below). | Tinder values resolving disputes informally and requests that you send a detailed notice if you have a dispute. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute, including participating in telephone conferences if requested. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may initiate arbitration or choose small claims court. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Completion of this informal dispute resolution is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration or small claims court action. Failure to do so is a breach of this Agreement. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled while you and Tinder engage in this informal dispute resolution process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration provider, National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration and shall administratively close any arbitration unless the Party bringing such demand for arbitration can certify in writing that the terms and conditions of this informal dispute resolution process were fully satisfied. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this provision and to enjoin any arbitration proceeding or small claims court action. | Before filing for arbitration or small claims court, completing the informal dispute resolution process is required, and failing to do so would be a breach of the agreement. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, YOU AND TINDER EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT IN FAVOR OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED ABOVE). YOU AND TINDER EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS, INCLUDING ANY CURRENTLY PENDING ACTIONS AGAINST TINDER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME RELIEF AVAILABLE IN COURT PROVIDED THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD FINAL RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE OR DECLARATORY RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE FINAL RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD FINAL RELIEF FOR, AGAINST, OR ON BEHALF OF ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT ANY OF THESE PROHIBITIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (SUCH AS A REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), AND ALL APPEALS OF THAT DECISION ARE EXHAUSTED OR THE DECISION IS OTHERWISE FINAL, THEN YOU AND TINDER AGREE THAT THAT PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF SHALL PROCEED IN COURT BUT SHALL BE STAYED PENDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF THE REMAINING CLAIMS FOR RELIEF THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT. IF THIS SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION (EXCEPT FOR THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS) SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. | Both you and Tinder agree to waive the right to a jury trial and litigate disputes in court, except for small claims court. Class action lawsuits and seeking relief on a class basis are also waived. The arbitrator can provide similar relief to what a court would offer, but only for individual parties involved in the arbitration. If any part of this provision is deemed unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement (except for the jury trial waiver and informal dispute resolution process) becomes void. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Tinder (that is not resolved informally by Tinder Customer Service or as provided under subsection 15a above) that arises from or relates in any way to this Agreement (including any alleged breach of this Agreement), the Service, or our relationship with you (collectively, “Dispute”), shall be exclusively resolved through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION except as specifically provided otherwise in this Dispute Resolution Section. “Dispute” as used in this Agreement shall have the broadest possible meaning and include claims that arose before the existence of this or any prior Agreement and claims that arise during the term of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Tinder may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court. If the request to proceed in small claims court is made after an arbitration has been initiated but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration shall be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s jurisdiction shall be determined by the small claims court. All other issues (except as otherwise provided herein) are exclusively for the Arbitrator to decide, including but not limited to scope and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution Section, as well as any request to proceed in small claims court that is made after an arbitrator has been appointed. If you or Tinder challenges the small claims court election in your Dispute, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the small claims court election is unenforceable, then such election shall be severed from this Agreement as to your Dispute. However, such court determination shall not be considered or deemed binding with respect to Tinder’s other contracting parties. | Any dispute or claim between you and Tinder relating to this Agreement or the Service will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, unless specifically provided otherwise. The term "Dispute" encompasses a wide range of claims and includes those arising before or after the Agreement. Either party may choose to pursue an individual claim in small claims court, which would result in the administrative closure of any ongoing arbitration. The arbitrator has the authority to decide all other issues, including the enforceability of the Dispute Resolution Section and challenges to the small claims court election. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Any court proceeding to enforce this Dispute Resolution Section 15, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, must be commenced in accordance with Section 17. In the event Dispute Resolution Section 15 is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Tinder (except for small claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Dallas County, Texas. You hereby irrevocably consent to those courts’ exercise of personal jurisdiction over you for such purposes and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum. | Any court action related to the enforcement of the Dispute Resolution Section must follow the procedures outlined in Section 17. If the Dispute Resolution Section is deemed unenforceable, litigation against Tinder (except for small claims court) can only be initiated in federal or state courts located in Dallas County, Texas. By agreeing to these terms, you give your irrevocable consent to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections regarding inconvenience. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Fees – The payment of all fees shall be governed by the NAM Rules, except to the extent that the case is a part of a Mass Filing (as defined below) or the NAM fees and costs (including Arbitrator fees) paid by either Party are reallocated upon order of the Arbitrator following a determination that (a) either Party breached Section 15 of this Agreement, (b) such reallocation is called for under this Agreement, or (c) reallocation is otherwise permitted under applicable law. Upon a showing to Tinder of your financial hardship we will consider a good faith request made by you to pay your portion of the applicable consumer portion of the filing fee. Tinder is committed to ensuring that arbitration costs to consumers do not serve as a barrier to the adjudication of disputes. If Tinder initiates an arbitration against you, we shall pay all fees. |
All fee payments will follow the NAM Rules, except for Mass Filing cases or if fees are reallocated by the Arbitrator due to a breach, agreement, or applicable law. If you demonstrate financial hardship, Tinder may consider your request to pay your portion of the filing fee in good faith. Tinder will cover all fees if they initiate arbitration against you, as they aim to make arbitration accessible for consumers without financial barriers. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
The Arbitrator – The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator (the “Claim Arbitrator”), as assisted by any Process Arbitrator appointed under NAM Rules. (The term “Arbitrator” applies to both the Claim Arbitrator and the Process Arbitrator). If a hearing is elected by either Party, the Arbitrator shall be in or close to the location in which you reside. The Arbitrator is bound by and shall adhere to this Agreement. In the event NAM Rules conflict with this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. If the Arbitrator determines that strict application of any term of Section 15 of this Agreement (except for the small claims election, which shall be determined by the small claims court) would result in a fundamentally unfair arbitration (the “Unfair Term”), then the Arbitrator shall have authority to modify the Unfair Term to the extent necessary to ensure a fundamentally fair arbitration that is consistent with the Agreement (the “Modified Term”). In determining the substance of a Modified Term, the Arbitrator shall select a term that comes closest to expressing the intention of the Unfair Term. | The arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator, including any additional process arbitrator as per NAM Rules. The arbitrator will be located near your residence if a hearing is required and must adhere to this Agreement. If there is a conflict between NAM Rules and this Agreement, this Agreement takes precedence. The arbitrator has the authority to modify any unfair terms in Section 15 of this Agreement to ensure a fair arbitration process | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Dispositive Motions – The Parties agree that the Claim Arbitrator shall have the authority to consider dispositive motions without an oral evidentiary hearing. Dispositive motions may be requested under the following circumstances: (a) within 30 days after the Claim Arbitrator’s appointment, a Party may request to file a dispositive motion based upon the pleadings; and (b) no later than 30 days prior to the evidentiary hearing, a Party may request to file a dispositive motion for summary judgment based upon the Parties’ pleadings and the evidence submitted. | The parties agree that the Claim Arbitrator can decide on dispositive motions without a hearing. Dispositive motions can be requested within 30 days after the arbitrator's appointment, based on the pleadings. Another request can be made for a dispositive motion for summary judgment, using the parties' pleadings and evidence, up to 30 days before the evidentiary hearing. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Discovery – Each Party may (a) serve up to five requests for relevant, non-privileged documents from the other Party; and (b) request that the other Party provide verified responses to no more than 5 relevant interrogatories (including subparts). Unless both Parties agree otherwise, no other forms of discovery (including depositions) may be utilized. Any such discovery requests must be served on the other Party within 21 days after the Claim Arbitrator’s appointment. The responding Party shall provide the requesting Party with all responsive, non-privileged documents, responses signed by the Party themselves to the requested interrogatories, and/or any objections to the requests within 30 days after receipt of the requests, or, in the event of an objection to any discovery request, 30 days after the Claim Arbitrator resolves the dispute. In the event either Party requests that the Claim Arbitrator consider a dispositive motion on the pleadings, such written discovery response deadlines shall be extended until 30 days following the Claim Arbitrator’s final decision on such dispositive motion. Any disputes about discovery or requests for extensions shall be submitted promptly to the Claim Arbitrator for resolution. In ruling on any discovery dispute or extension request, the Claim Arbitrator shall take into consideration the nature, amount, and scope of the underlying arbitration claim, the cost and other effort that would be involved in providing the requested discovery, the case schedule, and whether the requested discovery is necessary for the adequate preparation of a claim or defense. | Each party can request up to five relevant documents and five interrogatories from the other party within 21 days of the arbitrator's appointment. No other forms of discovery, like depositions, are allowed unless both parties agree. The responding party must provide the requested documents, signed responses, and any objections within 30 days. Any disputes or extension requests regarding discovery will be resolved by the arbitrator, considering the nature of the claim, cost, and case schedule. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Confidentiality – Upon either Party’s request, the Arbitrator will issue an order requiring that confidential information of either Party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce the arbitration award and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal. | If either party requests, the arbitrator will issue an order to keep confidential information disclosed during the arbitration from being used or shared, except for arbitration-related matters or enforcing the arbitration award. Any court filing involving confidential information must be done under seal. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Arbitration Hearing – You and Tinder are entitled to a fair evidentiary hearing (i.e. trial) before the Claim Arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings are usually simpler, less costly, and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. The Parties agree to waive all oral hearings and instead submit all disputes to the Claim Arbitrator for an award based on written submissions and other evidence as the Parties may agree, unless a Party requests an oral hearing within 10 days after the Respondent files a response. If an oral evidentiary hearing is requested, both Parties must be personally present at the hearing, regardless of whether either Party has retained counsel. Both Parties must personally attend the hearing. Either Party’s failure to personally attend the hearing, without a continuance ordered by the Claim Arbitrator for good cause, will result in a default judgment taken against that Party. | You and Tinder have the right to a fair trial-like hearing before the Claim Arbitrator. Arbitration is typically simpler, less expensive, and more streamlined than regular trials. The parties agree to waive oral hearings and instead rely on written submissions and evidence, unless a party requests an oral hearing within 10 days after the respondent's response. If an oral hearing is requested, both parties must be present, and failure to attend without a valid reason may result in a default judgment. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Arbitration Award – Regardless of the format of the arbitration, the Claim Arbitrator shall provide a reasoned decision, in writing within 30 days after the hearing or, if no hearing is held, within 30 days after any rebuttal or supplemental statements are due. The decision must clearly specify the relief, if any, awarded and contain a brief statement of the reasons for the award. The arbitration award is binding only between you and Tinder and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration or proceeding that involves a different Party. The Claim Arbitrator may, however, choose to consider rulings from other arbitrations involving a different Party. The Arbitrator may award fees and costs as provided by the NAM Rules or to the extent such fees and costs could be awarded in court. This includes but is not limited to the ability of the Arbitrator to award fees and costs if the Arbitrator determines that a claim or defense is frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose, for the purpose of harassment, or in bad faith. | The Claim Arbitrator will provide a written decision within 30 days after the hearing or after the submission of rebuttal or supplemental statements. The decision will specify any relief granted and provide a brief explanation for the decision. The arbitration award is binding only between you and Tinder and won't affect other proceedings involving different parties, although the Arbitrator may consider rulings from other arbitrations. The Arbitrator has the authority to award fees and costs if a claim or defense is deemed frivolous, brought in bad faith, or for harassment purposes. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Offer of Settlement – The Respondent may, but is not obligated to, make a written settlement offer to the opposing Party any time before the evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to the dispositive motion being granted. The amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the Claim Arbitrator until after the Claim Arbitrator issues an award on the claim. If the award is issued in the opposing Party’s favor and is less than the Respondent’s settlement offer or if the award is in the Respondent’s favor, the opposing Party must pay the Respondent’s costs incurred after the offer was made, including any attorney’s fees. If any applicable statute or caselaw prohibits the flipping of costs incurred in the arbitration, then the offer in this provision shall serve to cease the accumulation of any costs that claimant may be entitled to for the cause of action under which it is suing. | The Respondent has the option to offer a written settlement to the opposing Party before the evidentiary hearing or before a dispositive motion is granted. The settlement offer cannot be disclosed to the Claim Arbitrator until after the award is issued. If the award is in favor of the opposing Party but less than the Respondent's settlement offer, or if the award is in favor of the Respondent, the opposing Party must cover the Respondent's costs incurred after the offer, including attorney's fees. However, if any applicable law prevents the shifting of costs, the offer will stop the accumulation of costs for the cause of action. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
Mass Filing – If, at any time, 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are asserted against Tinder or related parties by the same or coordinated counsel or entities (“Mass Filing”), consistent with the definition and criteria of Mass Filings set forth in the NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules”, available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), the additional protocols set forth below shall apply. | If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Tinder or related parties by the same counsel or entities (referred to as a "Mass Filing"), specific protocols outlined in the NAM's Mass Filing Rules will be applicable. These protocols are defined in the NAM's Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, available at the provided link. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
i. If you or your counsel file a Demand for Arbitration that fits within the definition of Mass Filing referred to above, then you agree that your Demand for Arbitration shall be subject to the additional protocols set forth in this Mass Filing subsection. You also acknowledge that the adjudication of your Dispute might be delayed and that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled from the time at which the first cases are chosen to proceed until your case is chosen for a bellwether proceeding. | If your arbitration demand qualifies as a Mass Filing, you agree to follow the additional protocols outlined in this subsection. You understand that the resolution of your dispute may be delayed, and the statute of limitations will be paused from the selection of the initial cases until your case is chosen for a bellwether proceeding. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
ii. NAM’s Mass Filing Rules shall apply if your Dispute is deemed by NAM, in its sole discretion pursuant to its Rules and this Dispute Resolution Section, to be part of a Mass Filing. Such election for NAM’s Mass Filing Rules and related fee schedule must be made by either you or Tinder in writing and submitted to NAM and all Parties. | If NAM determines that your dispute falls under the Mass Filing category, NAM's Mass Filing Rules will be applied.

iii. Bellwether Proceedings. Bellwether proceedings are encouraged by courts and arbitration administrators when there are multiple disputes involving similar claims against the same or related parties. Counsel for the Mass Filings claimants (including you) and counsel for Tinder shall each select 15 Demands for Arbitration (30 total), and no more than 30 arbitrations shall be filed, processed, adjudicated, or pending at the same time, with each of the 30 individual arbitrations presided over by a different Claim Arbitrator, in a first set of bellwether proceedings. During this time, no other Demands for arbitration that are part of the Mass Filings may be filed, processed, adjudicated, or pending. If the Parties are unable to resolve the remaining Demands for Arbitration after the first set of bellwether proceedings are arbitrated or otherwise resolved, then counsel for the Claimants and counsel for Tinder shall each select an additional 15 Demands for Arbitration (30) total to be filed, processed, and adjudicated as individual arbitrations, with each of the 30 arbitrations presided over by a different Claim Arbitrator, in a second set of bellwether proceedings. During this time, no other Demands for Arbitration that are part of the Mass Filings may be filed, processed, or adjudicated. This staged process of bellwether proceedings, with each set including 30 Demands for Arbitration adjudicated on an individual basis, shall continue until each Demand included in the Mass Filings (including your Demand for Arbitration) is adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Fees associated with a Demand for Arbitration included in the Mass Filings, including fees owed by Tinder and the claimants (including you), shall only be due after your Demand for Arbitration is chosen as part of a set of bellwether proceedings and therefore properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication. Any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled beginning when you initiate the informal dispute resolution process set forth in subsection 15a of the Agreement, and if the first Mass Filings’ Demands for Arbitration are chosen for the initial set of bellwether proceedings have been filed, your claims will remain tolled until your Demand for Arbitration is decided, withdrawn, or is settled. A court of competent jurisdiction located in a venue allowed under Section 17 of the Agreement shall have the power to enforce this subsection. |
Bellwether proceedings are encouraged when there are multiple similar disputes. In the first set of bellwether proceedings, each party selects 15 arbitrations to be processed and adjudicated individually. No other arbitration demands can be filed during this time. If disputes remain unresolved, a second set of bellwether proceedings with an additional 30 arbitrations is conducted. This process continues until all demands are adjudicated. Fees are due when a demand is selected for bellwether proceedings. Statutes of limitations are tolled from the initiation of informal dispute resolution. A court can enforce this process. | https://policies.tinder.com/terms/us/en/ |
