The agreement, in plain language.

Freeborn is operated by Coldtruths Technologies, an sole proprietorship. These terms govern your use of the Freeborn website and web application, including every page, feature and API we make available to you.

By creating an account you confirm you have read these terms, you are 18 or older, and you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not create an account.

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy form part of this agreement. Where they conflict with these terms on a question about your personal data, the Privacy Policy prevails.

• You must be at least 18 years old. There is no exception and no parental consent route, because this is a dating service.
• You must provide your real date of birth. We validate it on the server and the database enforces it, so an understated age will be caught.
• You must not have been removed from Freeborn previously and be evading that removal.
• You must not use the service to promote a business, solicit money, recruit, or advertise. Freeborn is for people meeting people.
• You must be legally capable of entering a contract in your jurisdiction.

If we discover an account held by someone under 18, we delete the account and its data without notice.

You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including activity by someone who obtained access because you shared your password or left a device logged in. Do not share credentials. Tell us immediately at support@freeborndating.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

Changing your password requires your current password. Changing your email address requires you to confirm a link sent to the new address. Both are there so that a stolen session cannot quietly become a stolen account.

One person, one account. Duplicate accounts are removed, and if you created the second one to circumvent a suspension, both go.

Freeborn is a dating and relationship platform for people who prioritise health autonomy, natural living and long-term intention. Membership is currently free. There is no paid tier, no paywall hiding who liked you, and no premium visibility boost to buy. If that changes, these terms change with it and you will be told before it takes effect.

What Freeborn is not:

• It is not a medical service, a clinic, a pharmacy or a source of medical advice. See clause 9.
• It is not a guarantee of any outcome. We match people; we cannot make a relationship work and we do not promise that anyone will.
• It is not a vetting service. Verification confirms a live person stands behind a profile. It does not certify character, intentions, criminal history, health status or honesty.
• It is not a purity test. Members hold a wide range of views on health and medicine. Sharing a value is not a requirement of membership, and no member is entitled to interrogate another about medical decisions.
• It is not a place to conduct commerce. Soliciting clients, selling products, fundraising or recruiting are all grounds for removal.

You keep ownership of everything you post: your photographs, your bio, your prompt answers, your messages. We do not claim it.

To operate the service we need a licence to host and display it. By posting content you grant Coldtruths Technologies a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable licence to use, host, store, reproduce, display, distribute and adapt that content for the specific purposes of:

• Showing your profile to other members who meet your discovery settings.
• Delivering your messages and media to the people you sent them to.
• Running identity verification and content moderation on it.
• Creating the derivative versions that displaying an image technically requires, such as resized or reformatted copies.

That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where we must retain a copy to comply with law, to resolve a dispute, or to complete a moderation investigation already under way. We do not use your content to train machine learning models, we do not license it to third parties for their own purposes, and we do not use it in marketing without your separate written permission.

You represent and warrant that:

• You own your content or have the right to post it.
• Every identifiable person in your photographs has consented to being on a dating platform.
• Your content is not unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit involving any person under 18, or infringing anyone’s rights.
• Your content is not generated to deceive, including impersonation and AI-generated faces presented as your own.

The Freeborn name, the flame monogram, the interface, the source code, the copy, and the design are ours or licensed to us. These terms do not transfer any of it to you. You may not copy, scrape, reverse engineer, resell, or build a competing service from it.

Automated collection of member data is prohibited outright. Scraping profiles, photographs, messages or member lists by any means, including through our API, is a material breach and we will pursue it.

Membership depends on conduct, not on beliefs. You may hold any view about health, medicine, food, faith or politics that is lawful to hold. What you may not do is use Freeborn to harm people.

The following will result in a warning, suspension or removal:

• Harassment, threats, intimidation, or continued contact after being asked to stop.
• Hate speech or demeaning treatment based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or health status. This includes health status. Mocking someone for a medical decision, in either direction, is not debate.
• Coercion around medical decisions. Pressuring a member to disclose, justify, change or defend a health choice is a violation. So is pressuring them toward treatment or away from it.
• Sending unsolicited sexual imagery, or sexual content to anyone who has not clearly welcomed it.
• Impersonation, fake profiles, or misrepresenting who you are.
• Soliciting money, gifts or financial assistance from other members, in any framing.
• Promoting a business, service, product, fundraiser, recruitment scheme or political campaign.
• Sharing another member’s personal information, photographs or messages outside the platform. This includes screenshots.
• Using the service for commercial research, journalism, surveillance or data collection without written permission.
• Attempting to access another member’s account, or probing or disrupting the service technically.
• Any conduct that is unlawful in the jurisdiction where it occurs.

How enforcement actually works, in order:

We may also remove content or restrict an account immediately, without the steps above, where there is an urgent risk to a person’s safety, or where we are required to by law.

We may decline to act on a report, and we will not always tell you the outcome of a report you filed about someone else. That is to protect the other member’s privacy, not to avoid accountability. If you are the subject of action, you are always told why.

The identity verification and moderation systems described in clause 8 use AI models. They make mistakes. They are deliberately set to escalate rather than decide when uncertain, and a human reviews anything doubtful, but no automated system is infallible and we do not represent that ours is.

We build verification, moderation, blocking, reporting and discovery controls because they reduce risk. They do not eliminate it. You are meeting strangers.

• Meet in public first. Tell someone where you are going.
• Do not send money to anyone you met here, for any reason, however urgent or sympathetic the reason sounds. Romance fraud follows a recognisable script and urgency is part of it.
• Keep the conversation on Freeborn until you genuinely trust the person. Moving to another platform early removes the record that protects you.
• A verified seal confirms a live person matched their photographs at one moment. It tells you nothing about their intentions.
• Trust discomfort. You can block or report at any time and you never owe anyone an explanation.

We cannot guarantee that any member is who they say they are, that any member is safe, or that the service will be free of people behaving badly. Anyone who promises you that on a dating platform is not being honest with you.

The service is provided as available. We do not commit to an uptime figure and there is no service level agreement. We may change, suspend or discontinue features, including verification and moderation, and we may need to take the service down without notice to fix a security problem.

Some features depend on third parties we do not control: infrastructure hosting, database and authentication providers, the AI engines used for verification and moderation, network geolocation lookups, and a relay used for voice and video calls. When one of them fails, the feature that depends on it degrades or stops. Where we know about a failure we say so in the product rather than letting you assume the fault is yours.

Links to other sites are provided for convenience. We do not control them and we are not responsible for them.

You can leave at any time. Settings has a deactivate option that removes you from discovery immediately and keeps your data, and a delete option that removes your account and your data permanently. Deletion reaches the authentication system as well as the application database. It cannot be undone and it cannot be recovered afterwards.

We may suspend or terminate your account for a breach of these terms, for conduct that harms other members, or where we are required to by law. We will tell you why, and clause 8 gives you an appeal.

Clauses 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16 continue to apply after your membership ends.

We provide the service with care and we stand behind the way we describe it. The following limits apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

• The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
• We are not liable for the conduct of any member, online or offline, including anything that happens when members meet.
• We are not liable for content members post, for the accuracy of anything a member states about themselves, or for the accuracy of any profile field a member chose to publish.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill or loss of anticipated savings.
• Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars. Since membership is currently free, that means one hundred US dollars.

You agree to compensate and hold harmless Coldtruths Technologies and its operator from claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these terms, your violation of any law or the rights of another person, or your content.

This does not apply where the claim arises from our own negligence, from our breach of these terms, or from anything we could not lawfully ask you to indemnify us for.

These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have jurisdiction over any dispute, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection available to you where you live.

Before either of us starts proceedings, please write to support@freeborndating.com and set out the problem. There is one person operating this service and most disputes reaching a person directly get resolved. We would rather fix it than litigate it.

We may update these terms. When we make a change that materially affects your rights or obligations, we will tell you in the product before it takes effect and give you a reasonable chance to decide whether to continue. Continuing to use Freeborn after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, that part is severed or read down to the minimum necessary, and the rest continues in full force.

If we do not insist on a provision immediately, that is not a waiver of it. We can enforce it later.

Version 1.1. Effective 13 November 2026. Version 1.0 was effective 19 October 2026; 1.1 names the operator by its trading name, Coldtruths Technologies, and moves the contact address to this domain. It changes no obligation on either side. Questions: support@freeborndating.com.
