1.2 This Agreement is a legal contract made between you and SwingHub. Your use of the Service (whether or not you are a paid member) will be governed by these Terms and the Privacy Policy, and in the case of the use of the Service through the SwingHub mobile application, the End User Licence Agreement for Mobile Devices.

1.3 IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, USE OR OTHERWISE ACCESS THE SERVICE.

SWINGHUB RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES ON REASONABLE GROUNDS TO THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME, AND ANY SUCH CHANGES WILL BE POSTED ON SWINGHUB’S WEBSITE. YOU WILL BE GIVEN REASONABLE TIME TO ACCESS, READ AND CONSIDER ANY CHANGES. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR SERVICE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING SWINGHUB’S WEBSITE WWW.SWINGHUB.COM  REGULARLY TO OBTAIN TIMELY NOTICE OF ANY SUCH CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, AS AMENDED AND UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE. YOU CAN TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IMMEDIATELY ON NOTICE TO SWINGHUB WITHOUT PENALTY IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE UPDATED TERMS.

→ Eligibility

2.1 In order to create an account and use the Service, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You are at least 18 years old,
  • You are able to form a legally binding contract,
  • You have never been convicted of a violent or sexually related criminal or civil offence in any country and/or are not required to register as a sex offender with any government entity, and
  • You have never been banned from using the Service.

2.2 By registering as a member, you warrant to SWINGHUB that you comply with all of these requirements. If you breach this warranty, without limitation to SWINGHUB’s other rights and remedies, SWINGHUB is entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 9 below.

2.3 SWINGHUB does not currently conduct criminal background screenings on users of the Service. However, SWINGHUB reserves the right to conduct any criminal background check, at any time and using available public records, to confirm your compliance with this Section. By agreeing to these Terms, you hereby authorise SWINGHUB to conduct a background check on you.

2.4 SWINGHUB endeavours to employ staff and use A.I scanning API’s to monitor profiles and photos, but is under no obligation to do so. Without limiting any other remedies available to SWINGHUB (including SWINGHUB’s rights to terminate in Section 9 below), SWINGHUB RESERVES THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO SUSPEND OR REMOVE YOUR PROFILE AND ANY CONTENT YOU SUBMIT FROM SWINGHUB’S SERVICE AT SWINGHUB’S SOLE DISCRETION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IF SWINGHUB DOES REMOVE YOUR PROFILE AND/OR ANY CONTENT YOU SUBMIT SWINGHUB WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU IN ANY WAY.

→ Safety

As SWINGHUB’s Service is Internet-based, there are risks of members misrepresenting themselves or presenting themselves under false pretences. This includes misrepresentations about age, gender, marital status or any other attribute which SWINGHUB may ask the member to provide. These risks are not unusual for the type of Service SWINGHUB provides. Members of dating websites and apps have been the victims of fraudulent scams, and you are responsible for protecting yourself against persons who attempt to defraud you or mislead you using the Service.

3.1 To prevent yourself from becoming a victim of a fraudulent scam, you are responsible for taking all measures to protect yourself against persons who attempt to defraud you or mislead you using the Service. SWINGHUB is unable to verify that every member profile Service is accurate. You must therefore exercise caution when dealing with all other members.

3.2 YOU MAKE CONTACT WITH OTHER MEMBERS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. YOU AGREE THAT SWINGHUB HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTIONS MADE BY YOU OR OTHER MEMBERS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MEMBERS THAT HAVE REGISTERED UNDER FALSE PRETENSES, THIRD-PARTY ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT THAT RESULTS FROM THEFT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF YOUR USERNAME(S) OR PASSWORD(S) OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR INJURY SUFFERED RESULTING FROM USING THE SERVICE. THOUGH SWINGHUB MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO ENSURE OUR SERVICE IS SAFE AND FREE FROM FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY, SWINGHUB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING MEMBERS COMPLY WITH OUR TERMS.

3.3 It is possible that members from other countries will access the Service. It may not be practicable for SWINGHUB to enforce these Terms against such members. If SWINGHUB receives a complaint from a member that another member is in breach any section of these Terms, SWINGHUB will investigate such complaint and consider whether to exercise SWINGHUB’s rights under these Terms, including SWINGHUB’s rights to terminate that member's access to the Service.

3.4 SWINGHUB may be requested to assist in any prosecutions or other proceedings brought by members or third parties against other members and will do so if required by law and may do so if SWINGHUB believes a member has breached any applicable Terms. You agree to SWINGHUB providing such assistance, including the release of any relevant information SWINGHUB may hold about you.

3.5 SWINGHUB reserves the right to decline to register without entering into further discussions with you, or to suspend your membership if SWINGHUB believes on reasonable grounds that you are in breach of these Terms.

6.5 Upon subscription to a Premium Membership, payment will be charged to your Apple App Store, Google Play, or equivalent app marketplace account, or your registered credit card immediately, and will continue to be charged for renewal unless cancelled.

→ Cancellations & Refunds

You may cancel your account at any time, subject to these Terms. However, if you do not wish to continue being charged, you must cancel your account at least 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. There is no additional cancellation fee. TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT OR UNINSTALLING THE SERVICE WILL NOT CANCEL A SUBSCRIPTION. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS THROUGH YOUR APPLE APP STORE, GOOGLE PLAY STORE, OR EQUIVALENT APP MARKETPLACE ACCOUNT OR BY REMOVING YOUR REGISTERED CREDIT CARD as SWINGHUB cannot access personal accounts to change subscription preferences.

→Account Information & Data Deletion

8.1Username and password

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING YOUR PASSWORD SECRET AND SECURE. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT THAT RESULTS FROM THEFT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF YOUR USERNAME(S) OR PASSWORD(S). Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that:

  • You will not permit any other person to use your user name and password.
  • You will not disclose, or provide to any other person, your password.
  • You will immediately notify SWINGHUB of any unauthorized use of your username and password or any other breach of security.
  • You will ensure that you log off from your account at the end of each session.
  • You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for all use of the Service under your user name and password.

8.2 Account Deletion

You have the right to terminate your account if you do not wish to use the Service any longer. You may delete your account any time you wish by choosing the option to ‘Delete Account’ in your profile settings. This will remove your profile and delete all your information from the Service. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR PROFILE AND ALL YOUR MATCHES AND MESSAGES WILL BE DELETED. IF YOU DO NOT WISH FOR YOUR PROFILE, MATCHES AND MESSAGES TO BE DELETED, DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO GET YOUR INFORMATION BACK SHOULD YOU WISH TO RETURN TO USING OUR SERVICE.

8.3 Pausing Account

You may also temporarily ‘Pause’ your account if you would like to take a break from the Service but wish to keep your profile, matches and messages. This will allow you to be ‘hidden’ from SWINGHUB’s Service and prevent new users from viewing your profile, matching with you and/or sending you messages. However, users you have previously matched with or messaged will still be able to view your profile and/or send you messages, and you will be able to send messages to users you are matched with. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAUSE YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE HIDDEN FROM THE ‘MATCH SCREEN’ AND YOUR PROFILE WILL NOT BE VISIBLE TO NEW USERS. THIS WILL PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING ANY NEW MATCHES UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO TAKE YOUR ACCOUNT OFF ‘PAUSE’. If you decide to remove your account from pause and resume using the Service, your profile will be ‘active’ once more on the match screen and you will be visible to new users. CHOOSING TO ‘PAUSE’ YOUR ACCOUNT WILL NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THE SERVICE. IF YOU WISH TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THE SERVICE, CHOOSE THE OPTION TO ‘DELETE ACCOUNT’, AND NOT ‘PAUSE ACCOUNT’.
