These Widow Singles terms and conditions are the dating site terms of use for our website and mobile app. They describe what you can expect from us, what we expect from you, and how we keep the community kind and trustworthy. Please read them before you create an account.
The Short Version
- 18+ only. Widow Singles is for adults aged 18 and over.
- Be honest. Use your real details and your own photos.
- Be respectful. Treat every member the way you would like to be treated.
- Protect your account. Keep your login private and never share it.
- We may act on violations. Content can be removed and accounts suspended or closed when these terms are broken.
Accepting These Terms
By visiting the Widow Singles website, downloading the mobile app, creating an account or otherwise using the service, you agree to these terms and conditions. You also agree to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is handled, and our Cookie Policy, which explains how cookies and similar technologies work.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the service. You can stop at any time. Reading these terms does not require an account, and we encourage you to take your time with them before signing up.
Who Can Use Widow Singles
Widow Singles is intended for adults aged 18 and over. To use the service, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Be legally able to enter into an agreement in the place where you live.
- Not be barred from using the service under any applicable law.
- Not have been previously removed from Widow Singles for breaking these terms.
Widowed, divorced, separated and single adults are all welcome. You do not need to share your relationship history to join, and you decide how much to include in your profile. If we learn that someone under 18 has created an account, we may close it.
Your Account Responsibilities
Your account is personal to you, and a few simple habits help keep it safe and keep the community trustworthy.
- Provide accurate information. Your name, age and other profile details should be truthful and kept reasonably up to date.
- Use your own photos. Profile photos should show you, not another person, a celebrity or an image taken from someone else.
- Keep your login details private. Choose a strong password, do not share it, and let us know through the support options on the website or in the app if you think someone else has gained access.
- Keep one personal account. Please do not create multiple accounts or set up an account on behalf of someone else.
You are responsible for activity that takes place under your account. That includes messages sent and content posted, unless the activity happened because of our error. If you share your login details with another person, any resulting activity remains your responsibility.
Rules for Using the Platform
The basic rules for using a dating app like Widow Singles come down to respect, honesty and good judgment. Treat other members kindly, be truthful about who you are, and follow the law. Use the service for personal dating and companionship, and let connections grow at a pace that is comfortable for everyone involved.
In practice, that means:
- Treat every member with courtesy, even when you are not a match. A polite "no, thank you" is always acceptable.
- Communicate honestly. Do not mislead people about your identity, intentions or circumstances.
- Take things at a comfortable pace. Do not pressure anyone to reply quickly, share personal details or move to another platform.
- Follow all laws that apply to you and to your use of the service.
- Use Widow Singles only for personal, non-commercial purposes.
Conduct That Is Not Allowed
To protect members, the following behavior is not permitted on Widow Singles, whether in profiles, messages or any other part of the service.
Harassment, threats and hate
- Harassing, bullying, stalking or repeatedly contacting someone who has asked you to stop.
- Threatening, intimidating or abusing others.
- Hateful or discriminatory language or content.
Fraud, romance scams and requests for money
- Asking members for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency or financial help.
- Running or attempting any scam or deceptive scheme, including romance scams.
Impersonation and fake profiles
- Pretending to be another person or using someone else's photos or details.
- Creating profiles that are false, misleading or intended to deceive.
Sexual or explicit content
- Posting or sending nudity, sexually explicit material or unwanted sexual messages.
Spam, solicitation and advertising
- Promoting products, services or other websites, or sending unsolicited bulk messages.
Bots, scraping and interference
- Using bots or automated tools, scraping data, or attempting to disrupt, probe or gain unauthorized access to the service.
Sharing others' private information
- Posting or passing on another person's private details, messages or photos without their permission.
Content You Share
The photos, text and other material you add to Widow Singles, including your profile and your messages, remain yours. You do not give up ownership by posting them.
To run the service, however, we need your permission to use that content. By posting it, you give Widow Singles a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display and transmit your content for the purpose of operating, maintaining and improving the service. For example, this allows your profile to be shown to other members and your messages to reach the person you wrote to. This license ends when your content or account is deleted, except where content has already been shared with others or where we must keep it for legal or safety reasons.
You are responsible for what you post. Only share content you have the right to share, and keep it within these terms. We do not review everything in advance, but we may remove content that breaks these rules or that we reasonably believe may harm members or the service.
Widow Singles Brand and Materials
The Widow Singles name, logo, design, text, graphics and software, along with the overall look and feel of the website and app, belong to Widow Singles or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may use the service for its intended personal purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse engineer or create derivative works from any part of it without our written permission. Using our name or logo in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation is not allowed without prior approval.
Reporting Concerns
If a member behaves inappropriately, makes you uncomfortable or seems to be running a scam, please stop responding and report it. Use the in-app reporting tools where available, or reach out through the support options on the website and in the app. For practical ideas on staying safe while you date, see the Widow Singles safety tips on our homepage.
Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict or close an account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that these terms have been broken, that the law requires it, or that it is necessary to protect the safety of members, the service or others. Depending on the situation, we may also remove content or limit certain features.
You may close your account at any time through the account options on the website or app, or by using the support options available there. Closing your account ends your access to the service, but some terms, such as those covering content licenses, disclaimers and limits on liability, will continue to apply afterward. How your information is handled after closure is described in our Privacy Policy.
Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
Widow Singles is provided "as is" and "as available." We work to offer a dependable and welcoming service, but we cannot promise that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free or free from harmful content.
Please keep the following in mind:
- No guarantee of matches or relationships. We do not promise that you will meet anyone, form a relationship or achieve any particular result.
- No background checks unless stated. Unless we explicitly say otherwise, we do not run criminal or background checks on members, and we cannot confirm that what a member tells you is true.
- You are responsible for your interactions. Whether you communicate online or meet in person, use good judgment, protect your personal information and take sensible safety precautions.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Widow Singles and its owners, partners and service providers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for loss arising from your interactions with other members or from content posted by members. Nothing in these terms limits any rights or liability that cannot legally be limited, and some places do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
App Stores and Third-Party Services
If you download the mobile app through an app store, or use a third-party service in connection with Widow Singles, the terms and policies of that store or service may apply as well. Those terms are separate from ours, and we do not control them. Please review them when they apply to you. Any paid features, if offered, will be described clearly before purchase.
Updates to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the service or to legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If you keep using Widow Singles after an update, that means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with a change, you can stop using the service and close your account.
Contacting Widow Singles
If you have a question about these terms, please use the support options available within the Widow Singles website and app. We will do our best to help. You can also return to our homepage to learn more about the service, or join when you feel ready.
