3. Account & Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we suspect a breach of security or these Terms.

4. Community Guidelines

Matchix promotes respectful interactions. You agree not to harass, threaten, intimidate, or engage in hate speech, discrimination, or unlawful activities.

We may moderate or remove content and suspend accounts that violate our guidelines.

5. License & Restrictions

6. Subscriptions & Payments

Matchix offers optional premium features such as Matchix+. When you purchase a subscription, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge your chosen payment method. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in accordance with the instructions provided in the app. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

7. User Content

You retain ownership of the content you submit (“User Content”). By posting User Content you grant Matchix a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, store, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, and distribute such content as necessary to operate, improve, and promote the Services. You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

8. Third-Party Links & Services

9. Termination

You may delete your account at any time in the app. We may suspend or terminate your access at our discretion, including if you breach these Terms or applicable law, compromise user safety, or misuse the Services. Upon termination the license granted to you ends, but rights and obligations that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.

10. Disclaimers

Matchix is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that you will find a match or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Matchix and its affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
