By registering, you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old.

We do not guarantee matches, friendships, relationships, responses, or particular outcomes.

Features may evolve, change, or be discontinued as the platform develops.

Members are responsible for their accounts, login credentials, and submitted information.

Members agree not to:

• Impersonate another individual.
• Create deceptive or fraudulent identities.
• Harass, threaten, intimidate, stalk, or abuse others.
• Upload nudity or sexually explicit material.
• Engage in hate speech or targeted discrimination.
• Scam, defraud, exploit, or solicit other members improperly.

• Scrape, harvest, or misuse member information.
• Interfere with the security or operation of the Service.

Members retain ownership of content they create and submit, subject to the license described here.

By submitting photographs, profile information, messages, or other content, members grant Connected By Cardboard a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process that material as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, moderate, and provide the Service.

This license is not a transfer of ownership.

We may remove or restrict content that violates our policies or applicable law.

We reserve the right to review, restrict, remove, or disable content and to warn, suspend, or permanently terminate accounts that violate our policies or threaten the safety and integrity of the community.

Serious violations may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination without prior warning.

Examples include:

• Nudity or sexually explicit content.
• Threats or credible intimidation.
• Harassment and hate speech.
• Fraud, exploitation, and impersonation.
• Repeated attempts to evade moderation.

Members can report profiles and messages and block other members.

We will review reports and take appropriate action based on the circumstances. We do not guarantee a particular response time or outcome.

Members are responsible for their own decisions and conduct when interacting with other members, including during offline meetings, trading activities, events, and other arrangements.

Connected By Cardboard does not independently verify every member's identity, background, intentions, or representations.

We encourage members to:

• Protect personal information.
• Meet unfamiliar people in public places.
• Arrange independent transportation.
• Inform trusted individuals about planned meetings.
• Exercise caution when conducting trades or transactions.
• Report suspicious or threatening behavior.

Connected By Cardboard is a platform for connecting people. We are not a party to personal relationships, trades, transactions, or offline meetings arranged between members.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Connected By Cardboard's original branding, software, designs, and platform materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Third-party trademarks, trading card game names, logos, and related intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.

Their appearance within the Service does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

Connected By Cardboard intends to prioritize its community experience rather than operate as a conventional advertising-driven dating platform.

We may pursue individually approved sponsorships, partnerships, promotional events, and commercial relationships with established trading card game companies and related brands.

Sponsored material will be identified appropriately.

Sponsors do not automatically receive access to private member information, private messages, or member accounts.

The platform may introduce optional paid features, cosmetic upgrades, merchandise, memberships, events, or other purchases.

Any purchases will be subject to the pricing, payment terms, and refund conditions disclosed at the time of purchase.

Purchases do not guarantee permanent access to the Service or continued availability of a particular feature.

Refunds and payment disputes will be handled according to applicable law and the requirements of the relevant payment provider or app marketplace.

Members may delete their accounts using the available account deletion functionality.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to:

• Enforce these Terms.
• Protect members.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or illegal activity.
• Respond to security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations.
• Protect the integrity of the Service.

Depending on the circumstances, action may occur without advance notice.

Certain limited information may be retained following account deletion for legitimate security, legal, or operational purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy.

We work to maintain a reliable Service but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability or permanent availability of every feature.

We may modify, improve, suspend, or discontinue features as the business develops.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided on an "as available" and "as is" basis.

We do not guarantee:

• The identity or honesty of other members.
• The accuracy of member-submitted information.
• Romantic compatibility or successful relationships.
• The safety or outcome of interactions between members.
• The conduct of members during offline activities.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Connected By Cardboard and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is prohibited by law.

We may update these Terms as the platform develops or legal requirements change.

Material changes will be communicated through the Service or another appropriate method.

Where required, members will be asked to accept revised Terms before continuing to use affected services.
