Terms of Service

Last updated: April 3, 2026

Welcome to Set Adrift. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Set Adrift mobile application, progressive web app, website, and all related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by The Big Fat Dad, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Idaho, with its principal office at 2976 E. State St #120-2914, Eagle, ID 83616.

Set Adrift is a dating app designed for the "talking stage" of a relationship. It provides private shared spaces called "Drifts" where two people can explore compatibility through curated questions, AI-powered insights, private journaling, compatibility mapping, disappearing photos ("Sparks"), and other features.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Set Adrift, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, as described in Section 16 below. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and that organization.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use the Service. By using Set Adrift, you represent and warrant that:

We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe the user is under 18 years of age.

3. Account Registration

3.1 Account Creation

To use Set Adrift, you must create an account using a valid authentication method provided through the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary to keep it accurate and complete.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at drift@setadrift.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

3.3 One Person Per Account

Each account is for a single individual. You may not share your account credentials with any other person or allow any other person to access the Service through your account.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

4.1 Subscription Tiers

Set Adrift offers the following subscription plans:

4.2 Free Trial

We may offer a free trial period for new users. At the end of the trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial expires. Trial terms and duration will be disclosed at the time of signup.

4.3 Partners Join Free

A partner who joins an existing Drift via an invite link is not required to pay for a subscription. Partners receive full access to the Drift they were invited to at no cost. A subscription is required only to initiate (create) a new Drift.

4.4 Payment Processing

All payments are processed securely through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge the payment method you provide on a recurring basis at the applicable subscription rate. Set Adrift does not store your payment card details directly — all payment information is handled by Stripe in accordance with their security standards and policies.

4.5 Billing Cycle and Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annually) unless cancelled before the renewal date. You will be charged the then-current rate for your plan at each renewal.

4.6 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to paid features until the end of that period. No refunds will be issued for partial billing periods.

4.7 Plan Changes

You may upgrade or downgrade your subscription plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and you will be charged a prorated amount. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. If you downgrade to a plan that supports fewer active Drifts than you currently have, you will be prompted to archive Drifts until you are within the new plan's limit.

4.8 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. If we change the price of your plan, we will provide you with at least 30 days' notice before the new price takes effect. Your continued subscription after the price change constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.

5. User Content

5.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of all content you create, upload, or submit through the Service, including but not limited to question answers, journal entries, photos, profile information, and any other materials ("User Content"). Set Adrift does not claim ownership of your User Content.

5.2 License Grant

By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, process, and display your User Content solely as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Service. This license includes the right to process your User Content through AI systems for the purpose of generating insights, compatibility analysis, and other features of the Service.

5.3 License Limitations

The license granted in Section 5.2 is limited to what is necessary to provide the Service. We will not sell your User Content to third parties. We will not use your User Content for advertising purposes. Journal entries are processed exclusively on the server side, and only synthesized, anonymized insights — never raw content — are shared with any other user or system.

5.4 Content Representations

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the license in Section 5.2, and that your User Content does not violate any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any applicable law.

5.5 Content Removal

You may delete your User Content at any time through the Service. Upon deletion of your account, your User Content will be handled as described in Section 9 (Termination).

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities while using the Service:

6.1 Harmful Behavior

6.2 Deception and Fraud

6.3 Technical Violations

6.4 Illegal Activity

6.5 Commercial Use

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who violates these prohibitions, including suspending or terminating accounts and reporting violations to law enforcement authorities.

7. AI-Generated Content

7.1 Nature of AI Content

Set Adrift uses artificial intelligence to generate various types of content within the Service, including but not limited to: daily questions, compatibility insights, compatibility scores, archetype descriptions, Your Pattern analysis, and other personalized content ("AI Content"). AI Content is generated by third-party AI models and is processed through our systems.

7.2 Entertainment Purpose

AI Content is provided for entertainment and informational purposes only. Compatibility insights, scores, archetype descriptions, and pattern analyses are not professional relationship advice, psychological assessments, or clinical evaluations. AI Content should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional counseling, therapy, or advice of any kind.

7.3 No Guarantees of Accuracy

AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or suitability of any AI Content. AI models may produce unexpected results, and compatibility assessments are inherently subjective. You acknowledge that AI Content reflects algorithmic pattern-matching and not objective truth about your relationship or personality.

7.4 Your Pattern and Journal Analysis

The Your Pattern feature and journal analysis process your personal data through AI systems entirely on our servers. Only abstract, synthesized insights are surfaced to you — never raw journal content. No partner is ever identified by name, Drift color, or any identifying detail in Your Pattern output. Despite these safeguards, AI-generated insights may occasionally feel inaccurate or uncomfortable. You use these features at your own discretion.

8. Disappearing Photos (Sparks)

8.1 Ephemeral Nature

Sparks are designed to be ephemeral — they are intended to expire and become inaccessible after viewing. However, we cannot guarantee that Sparks will be permanently deleted from all devices, networks, or storage systems in all cases.

8.2 No Guarantee Against Capture

While Set Adrift employs screenshot detection and prevention measures (including OS-level screenshot blocking on Android and screenshot detection notifications on iOS), we cannot guarantee that a recipient will not capture, record, or otherwise preserve a Spark through external means such as screen recording, a secondary device, or other methods. You should not send any photo through Sparks that you would not be comfortable existing beyond its intended expiration.

8.3 Screenshot Notifications

On iOS, if a screenshot is detected, the sender is notified and the photo is flagged accordingly. On Android, the operating system prevents screenshots during photo viewing. On the web (PWA), prevention measures are limited, and a visual warning is displayed. These protections are provided on a best-effort basis and are not a guarantee of privacy.

8.4 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the content of any photos you send through Sparks. You must not send photos that violate these Terms, any applicable law, or the rights of any third party. You must have full rights to any image you share.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Company IP

The Service, including its design, features, functionality, software, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, and all other content provided by the Company (excluding User Content), is the property of The Big Fat Dad, LLC or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws.

9.2 Trademarks

"Set Adrift," the Set Adrift logo, "Drift," "Sparks," "Your Pattern," "Moment Button," and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks or service marks of the Company. You may not use such marks without our prior written permission.

9.3 Limited License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include any right to resell or commercially use the Service or any content within it.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

Set Adrift is not a professional matchmaking service, counseling service, or therapeutic tool. We make no representations about the suitability of any person you may connect with through the Service. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users.

We do not conduct background checks on users and make no guarantees regarding the identity, character, intentions, or behavior of any user. You should exercise caution and good judgment when communicating with other users and when sharing personal information.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

13. Indemnification

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

14. Dispute Resolution

14.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at drift@setadrift.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most disputes can be resolved without formal proceedings.

14.2 Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (including the formation, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination of these Terms) shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Section.

14.3 Arbitration Procedures

The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in Ada County, Idaho, or at another mutually agreed-upon location. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.4 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

14.5 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Service or intellectual property infringement without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.

14.6 Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in this Section by sending written notice to drift@setadrift.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts specified in Section 15.
