Hi Anand Vazirani,
We (the Badoo Group) are updating our Terms and Conditions for the Badoo application (“Badoo”). We’ve highlighted a few of the changes below for your convenience, but we recommend that you review the full updated Terms and Conditions here.
The changes were effective as of May 27, 2021, and continuing to use Badoo will constitute acceptance of the updated Terms and Conditions of Use.
Overview of our updates:
Refunds
Explains when and how certain groups of users can request refunds.
Subscription Fees and Credits
Clarifies how paid subscriptions and credits will automatically renew and how to cancel.
User Conduct
Clarifies that the Badoo Group does not conduct background checks on any users or attempt to verify the accuracy or truthfulness of any statements they may make.
Release
Provides a full release of Badoo Group’s liability for any claims or disputes that may arise between you and any other users of Badoo.
Arbitration
- Provides that any covered dispute, claim or request for relief between you and Badoo Group that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be settled by binding arbitration rather than through court proceedings.
- Provides for a waiver of jury trial rights and requires disputes to be resolved on an individual basis without participation in class action lawsuits or other representative proceedings.
- Explains that certain claims, such as claims for injunctions to stop intellectual property infringement or claims filed in small claims court, are not required to be submitted to arbitration.
- Explains how you may initiate an arbitration proceeding against Badoo Group, and the rules that will govern any such proceeding.
- Provides that users who signed up before May 27, 2021 will have the option to opt out of the arbitration agreement by 30 days from May 28, 2021.
To opt out of the arbitration agreement, you will need to provide your full name, Badoo username and the email address you used to set up your Badoo account (if any). Badoo retains this information to maintain accurate records of opt-out requests. This information is kept for no longer than necessary to allow for the defence of legal claims in accordance with applicable statutory limitation periods. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in properly recording and administering your opt-out request.
