Content Posted By Members
By agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you represent and warrant that all Content you upload to the Site does not in any way infringe on anyone's intellectual property rights. You also authorize Thesocialdate.com to post any and all photographs uploaded by you throughout Thesocialdate.com and other associated websites featuring other members of the Service. Thesocialdate.com hereby asserts immunity with respect to all Content provided by members or other third parties, as provided by law, including, but not limited to, under the Communications Decency Act. We will remove any Content that you may post on the Site upon being notified, as provided in these terms and conditions, that the Content you post on the Site violates the intellectual property rights of another. We may remove any Content that you post on this Site that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates this Agreement without any obligation to provide you prior notice of such removal. Members and others are prohibited from uploading any Content to the Site which, in our sole opinion, might be illegal or offensive, including, but not limited to, Content involving bestiality, urination, other bodily excretions, defamatory material or otherwise obscene material, or any conduct that violates the prohibitions set forth under "Code of Conduct," above, or any other provision of this Agreement.

No Service Created Profiles
Unlike many competitors, this Site does not contain any profiles created by the Service whether to increase member numbers or entertain or otherwise engage with users of the Service nor for any other purpose.
Total Member Numbers
From time to time we may include an estimation regarding the number of members on the Thesocialdate.com website. Any such estimation will include all accounts (both free and paid) created since the inception of the Thesocialdate.com website as we do not purge inactive accounts. For your information, a member's "hotness" ranking on Thesocialdate.com is indicative of, among other matters, how recently the account has been accessed. While the "hotness rating" is indicative, it should not be taken as a guarantee that the person checks messages or even has a paid account to communicate with you. Please note that we do work expeditiously to remove what we believe to be fraudulent/malicious profiles as and when they are reported. We take all such reports extremely serious as we intend for Thesocialdate.com to be a place for like-minded men and women to communicate and we have no tolerance for individuals abusing our system. If you are contacted through Thesocialdate.com (whether by instant message, chat rooms, messages or otherwise) and believe such contact to be fraudulent/malicious please immediately report the matter to us.
Use of Information on Service
You acknowledge and agree that:
a) We cannot ensure the security or privacy of information you provide through the Internet, email, messaging or otherwise, and through your email or other messages; you release us from any and all liability in connection with the breach of the security of such information and/or messages and with respect to the use of such information by other parties;
b) We are not responsible for, and cannot control, the use of any information, by anyone, that you provide to any other parties or the Service and you should use caution in selecting the personal information you provide to others through the Service;>
c) We cannot assume any responsibility for the content of any communication sent by any user on the Service, and you release us from any and all liability in connection with the contents of any such communication you may receive from other users;
d) You acknowledge that you cannot bring legal action against Thesocialdate.com or any of its employees, officers, or agents for any damages of any kind, under any theory, as a consequence of using the Service; and
e) Any and all images uploaded to Thesocialdate.com are subject to an irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid, royalty free license from you to Thesocialdate.com and such images may be used by Thesocialdate.com, without restriction, on the Service, in emails and as marketing materials. By accepting this Agreement and its terms and conditions you specifically authorize us to use any images you upload to Thesocialdate.com for marketing the Site; and,
f) You may not use the Service for any unlawful purpose. We may refuse to grant you or discontinue your use of a user name, for whatever reason, including, but not limited to, that the user name you have chosen impersonates someone else, is protected by trademark or proprietary law, or is vulgar or otherwise offensive, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
We cannot guarantee, and assume no responsibility for verifying, the accuracy of the information provided by any other user of the Site, including but not limited to, information regarding a member's marital status. Additionally, as users may discontinue or suspend their membership at any time, we cannot guarantee that individuals seen in various advertisements are currently active members. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we have no responsibilities or liabilities for any inaccuracies, intentional or unintentional, made by users or as a result of out of date information.
Consent, the Right to Revoke Consent, and Anti-Trafficking
Consent
Consent is the paramount principle behind the use of the Site and all interactions between users of the Site. You nor any other user is obligated, expressly or otherwise, to engage or continuing engaging with any other user of the Site at any time for any reason. By creating an account and sharing any written, image, video, or other form of expression or information you are granting the irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid, royalty free license to such expression and/or information as set forth herein. Because consent is paramount, we respect the right of users to terminate their consent to an account and/or appearing in consensual image or video content at any time. To report your termination of consent, you can contact our support team.
Again, because consent is key to the use of the Site and all interactions through the Site, we have zero tolerance for anyone using the Site other than of their own free will including in connection with trafficking. Because of this the Site has very strict rules against any form of roleplay that may suggest other than fully consenting use of the Site (such as trafficking) or fully consent interactions through the Site or otherwise, we will report any suspected non-consenting use of the Site and/or suspected trafficking to any and all law enforcement and other groups, agencies, and organizations we deem appropriate.
Anti-Trafficking
The Site is committed to preventing human trafficking and modern slavery in all forms, including forced labor, servitude, and trafficking. The Site has zero-tolerance with respect to any actual or suspected violation of this policy. The Site hereby explicitly prohibits the use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labor. The site ensures that all appropriate team members and service providers are fully informed of the Site’s strict zero-tolerance policy with appropriate individuals undergoing appropriate training on how to identify and report potential slavery or trafficking activities.
In connection with our zero-tolerance policy with respect to trafficking and slavery we reserve the right to review each and every account on a live, 24/7 basis using manual and automated means. Any user who suspects a possible violation of this policy, including through roleplay, should immediately contact support at support@ds-tsd.com or support@thesocialdate.com. As noted elsewhere in this Agreement and in the Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to report any activity or suspected activity to any and all law enforcement and other groups we deem appropriate. We will endeavor to the extent possible to maintain the privacy of reporting parties; however, ensuring a thorough investigation for the possibly abused party may require certain disclosures.
Dating Site Cautions
The following are precautions you should consider when meeting or corresponding with anyone on any dating or social networking website:
(a) Anyone who is able to commit identity theft can also falsify a dating profile;
(b) There is no substitute for acting with caution when communicating with any stranger who wants to meet you;
(c) Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in your dating profile or initial email messages. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it; and
(d) If you choose to have a face-to-face meeting with another member, always tell someone in your family or a friend where you are going and when you will return. Never agree to be picked up at your home. Always provide your own transportation to and from your date and meet in a public place with many people around.
How Your Content May be Used
When you create a profile with Thesocialdate.com, your profile will be shared with other members of the Site. Additionally, when you upload any videos as a part of your profile your video may automatically be watermarked with the Site's watermark and, unless you unmark the "Add to" or similarly termed box, your video will be automatically uploaded to the Site.
Introductions
The Site may cause pop-ups to display as a system notification on your screen while you are viewing the Site. These system notifications may or may not indicate they have been initiated by the Site and may provide you with limited information about other members of the Site and/or such member's activity on the Site. The system notifications may prompt you to initiate dialogue with other member(s) (who may or may not have upgraded to a paid account and may have varying login and activity levels). If you wish to initiate dialogue and have not purchased a membership to the Site, you will be required to purchase a paid membership prior to being able to initiate or even review any dialogue; however, it is possible that the member with whom you wish to initiate dialogue may not respond for various reasons including, without limitation, the member is not interested in responding, may not be actively monitoring his/her account and/or may no longer be available. If the sole reason you upgrade your membership is to correspond with one specific member and such member does not respond to your correspondence, you may request a full refund within ten (10) days of your initial membership purchase by calling customer service. Upon initiating the refund, your account will revert to free and you will not be able to review any responses or messages from any members should any be sent to your account.
Quality Assurance Accounts
The Site reserves the right to implement quality assurance accounts which accounts will be flagged with a 'QA' flag to alert users of the Site. If the Site implements quality assurance accounts, this section will be updated to note these accounts have been created and activated and the date at the top of this Agreement will be updated to the then current date. In the event these quality assurance accounts are implemented, such accounts may or may not: correspond to real individuals, use real or licensed photographs, and/or be administered by real individuals or by an automated process. In the event these accounts are implemented, the intention behind the implementation will be to monitor and enhance activity and enjoyment on the Site. In the event such accounts are used, none of these accounts will offer or agree to meet with any other user of the Site nor will the accounts agree to or offer communications outside of the Site.
While You Were Away
The Site may, from time to time, offer an automated message and response program called “While You Were Away”. You may change your settings for “While You Were Away” at any time by updating your account settings.
Notice of Claimed Infringement
The Site respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our members and others to do the same. We voluntarily observe and comply with the United States’ Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide the Service’s Designated Copyright Agent the following information:
a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;

You may send your Notice of Claimed Infringement to:
Lawrence G. Walters
195 W. Pine Ave
Longwood, FL 32750

Notice@DMCANotice.com
DO NOT SEND ANY OTHER INQUIRIES TO OUR DMCA AGENT.
SEND ALL OTHER INQUIRIES TO: support@ds-tsd.com or support@thesocialdate.com
Repeat Infringers
The Site will terminate the account of any member who the Site believes has infringed on the rights of any third party(ies) one or more times. For the avoidance of doubt, the Site specifically reserves the right to terminate the account of any member reported by any third party for infringing on such third party's rights and the Site will immediately terminate the account of any member reported more than once for infringing on the rights of a third party.
Notification and Take Down Procedures
The Site implements the following "notification and takedown" procedure upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement. The Site reserves the right at any time to disable access to, or remove any material or activity accessible on or from any Site or any Materials claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent. We reserve the right to terminate any account reported for infringing on the intellectual property of any third party, and we will act expeditiously to remove access to all identifiable material that is alleged to infringe on a third party's copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. §512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). The Site's DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding paragraph. If the notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA, but does comply with three requirements for identifying sites that are infringing according to §512 of the DMCA, the Site shall attempt to contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that party comply with the notice requirements. When the Designated Agent receives a valid notice, we will expeditiously endeavor to remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and may notify the affected user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the above designated agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After the designated agent receives the counter-notification, we will replace the material at issue within 10-14 days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the designated agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity. We reserve the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and all users should regularly check back to these Terms and Conditions to stay current on any such changes.
DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure
If the recipient (the "Recipient") of a Notice of Claimed Infringement ("Notice") feels that the Notice is erroneous or false, and/or that allegedly infringing material has been wrongly removed in response to a Notice as outlined above, the Recipient is permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to §512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method for the Recipient to dispute the removal or disabling of material (the "Material") pursuant to a Notice. The information that a Recipient provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the Recipient will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against us relating to the Content.
To submit a counter-notification, please provide our Designated Copyright agent the following information:
a) A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the Notice.
b) A description of where the material was located within the Site before such material was removed and/or disabled. Please provide the specific URL if possible.
c) A statement reflecting the Recipient's belief that the removal or disabling of the Material was done so erroneously. For convenience, the following format may be used:
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
d) The Recipient's physical address, telephone number, and email address. Written notification containing the above information must be signed and sent to:
Lawrence G. Walters
195 W. Pine Ave
Longwood, FL 32750
Fax: (407) 774-6151
Notice@DMCANotice.com
Alternately, to email the above information, You must digitally sign the email and send it to: Notice@DMCANotice.com
DO NOT SEND ANY OTHER INQUIRIES TO OUR DMCA AGENT.
SEND ALL OTHER INQUIRIES TO: support@ds-tsd.com or support@thesocialdate.com
After receiving a DMCA-compliant counter-notification, our designated copyright agent will forward it to us, and we will then provide the counter-notification to the entity who first provided the Notice concerning the subject material.
Additionally, within ten to fourteen (10-14) days of our receipt of the counter-notification, we will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material provided that we or our designated copyright agent have not received notice from the entity who first provided the Notice that such entity has filed a legal action pertaining to the disputed material.
We reserve the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and all users should regularly check back regularly to stay current on any such changes.
Monitoring of Information
We reserve the right to monitor any and all advertisements, public postings and messages to ensure that they conform to the content guidelines and this Agreement, which are both subject to change from time to time. We also reserve the right to monitor any and all messages and chats that take place through the Site. We are not responsible for any offensive or obscene material(s) that may be transmitted or posted by any and all users (including unauthorized users, as well as the possibility of “hackers”). As noted above, we are also not responsible, under any circumstances, for the use of any personal information, by anyone, that you post or transmit through the Site.

The Support Team is tasked with receiving and addressing account questions/issues, access problems, DMCA Notice response and receiving law enforcement inquiries. Random chat rooms and profiles may be reviewed from time to time as to whether or not the users in such rooms and profiles appear to be adhering to this Agreement; however, in conformity with our “No Obligation” section and other sections of this Agreement, the Service does not warrant the Site to be free from malicious third party users or others with bad intent nor does the Service warrant or represent that any information posted or communicated by any third party user is accurate or truthful.
