Terms of Use
These terms explain the standards that apply when accessing or using DateWithHSV.
By using datewithhsv.com, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
1. Adults only
DateWithHSV is intended for adults aged 18 or older. By using the website, you confirm that you meet this requirement and are legally able to agree to these terms.
2. Website purpose
DateWithHSV provides dating, relationship, safety and sexual-health information for adults living with HSV. Website content is intended for general information and community use.
3. Accounts and accurate information
Where account features are available, users are responsible for providing accurate information, protecting login details and activity under their account. Do not impersonate another person, create misleading profiles or share access credentials.
4. Acceptable use
You must not use DateWithHSV to threaten, harass, discriminate, defraud, expose private information, distribute malicious code, bypass security or interfere with website operation. Content that exploits, deceives or endangers another person may be restricted or removed.
5. Member conduct
Treat other adults with respect. Consent must be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time. A shared HSV status does not prove identity, compatibility or good intentions, and it never removes another person’s right to set a boundary.
6. Dating safety
Users are responsible for personal decisions made online and in person. Protect identifying and financial information, use public locations for early meetings, keep control of transport and never send money because a new match creates an urgent story. Review the DateWithHSV Safety Guide before meeting someone new.
7. Medical information
DateWithHSV does not provide diagnosis, testing or treatment. Articles may link to public-health information, but individual medical decisions should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
8. Editorial content
We aim to publish practical, understandable information and identify reliable sources where health facts are discussed. Guidance can change, individual circumstances differ and no article can cover every possible situation.
9. Intellectual property
DateWithHSV branding, original writing, design and other website materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Public pages may be viewed and shared through links for personal use. Substantial reproduction, misleading copies and removal of attribution are not permitted without authorization.
10. Links and references
The website may link to public-health organizations and other resources for convenience. DateWithHSV is not responsible for the availability, accuracy or privacy practices of every referenced page. A link does not imply endorsement of every statement or service at the destination.
11. Availability and changes
Website pages and functions may be updated, suspended or removed. Continuous, error-free availability is not guaranteed. These terms may also change as the website develops, and the current version will remain available on this page.
12. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DateWithHSV is provided on an “as available” basis without guarantees of a particular dating, relationship or health outcome. Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DateWithHSV is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from use of website content, interaction with another person or inability to access the website.
