These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of DesiCouplesZ ("DCZ", "Platform"), operated by DCZ Media Holdings LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. By registering or using DCZ, you agree to these Terms in full.
1. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years of age
- You must be legally permitted to access adult content in your jurisdiction
- You must not have been previously banned from DCZ
- By registering, you represent and warrant that all of the above are true
2. Account Registration & Age Confirmation
All members must be 18 years of age or older. At registration you confirm this by self-declaration. Mobile app users additionally complete Yoti selfie age estimation as required by Apple and Google app store policies. Providing false information is a violation of these Terms and may constitute fraud under applicable law.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorised by you. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access.
- One account per person. Creating multiple or duplicate accounts, or creating a new account after removal, is a breach of these Terms.
- Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You may not sell, rent, lend, gift or share your account or login with anyone. Doing so terminates the account without refund.
- Couple accounts. A couple account is a single account operated jointly. The registering member is the account holder and is responsible for it, including payment, and warrants that their partner is over 18, consents to the account, to the content posted, and to these Terms. Disputes between partners are not our responsibility, and we are not obliged to adjudicate them, split an account, or transfer it.
- Accurate information. You must provide accurate registration and profile details and keep them current. Impersonating anyone, or misrepresenting your age, identity, gender, relationship status or affiliation, is a breach.
- Inactivity. We may remove accounts that have not been logged into for an extended period, after reasonable notice to the email on file.
3. Genuine Member Verification
3.1 Who it applies to
Genuine Verification is required for South Asian couples and single female members who have selected a South Asian primary language and have been Premium subscribers for 14 days or more. It applies across all platforms — web, PWA, iOS, and Android.
3.2 How it works
- You will receive an in-app prompt to start a short 3–5 minute video session with our AI Bot
- The DCZ AI Bot will ask you to perform a few simple gestures on camera — no scripted speech is required
- The DCZ AI Bot records your video session automatically
- The recording is subjected to automatic AI scans to verify authenticity
- A moderator then reviews the recording and approves or rejects the session
- Approval is typically granted within 24 hours; you will be notified in-app and by email
- Your video is stored securely on our private media server and is never shared publicly
- After approval, your video is archived — it is retained solely for compliance and dispute-resolution purposes and is not viewable by other members
3.3 Notice and access policy
Once Genuine Verification becomes due, we will send you up to three in-app reminders over a reasonable period. These reminders are friendly nudges, not punishments — we understand life gets busy. However, if three reminders pass without action:
- Access to explicit/adult content will be temporarily paused
- Outbound messaging will be temporarily paused
- All other platform features remain fully accessible
- Access is restored immediately once verification is approved
We will never delete your account or your content because of a pending Genuine Verification. This is purely a temporary feature-pause designed to maintain community quality.
3.4 Your consent
By registering as a South Asian couple or single female member and upgrading to Premium, you acknowledge and agree that Genuine Verification may be required as described above. You consent to your video session being recorded by the DCZ AI Bot, automatically scanned for authenticity, reviewed and approved by a moderator, and archived after approval. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, which will result in suspension of Premium features for your account.
4. Acceptable Use
4.1 Prohibited Content
You must not upload, post, or transmit:
- Any content depicting minors in a sexual context (CSAM) — this will result in immediate permanent ban and NCMEC report
- Non-consensual intimate images ("revenge porn")
- Content depicting individuals who have not consented to appearing on DCZ
- Content that glorifies or promotes violence, hate speech, or discrimination
- Spam, unsolicited commercial messages, or phishing content
- Content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights
4.2 Prohibited Conduct
- Impersonating any person or entity
- Scraping, crawling, or harvesting member data
- Attempting to bypass age verification or content restrictions
- Using VPNs or proxies to evade geographic restrictions or bans
- Soliciting or facilitating sex work in jurisdictions where prohibited
- Creating multiple accounts after being banned
5. Content You Upload
You retain ownership of content you upload — and you remain fully and solely responsible for it. By uploading, you grant DCZ Media Holdings LLC a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable licence to host, store, cache, back up, reproduce, adapt, modify (including resizing, transcoding and applying watermarks), publish, transmit and display that content, and to authorise our hosting, moderation, payment and infrastructure providers to do the same on our behalf, for the purposes of operating, securing, moderating, analysing and improving the service and for complying with law.
You warrant that you own or control all rights in the content, that it does not infringe anyone's rights, and that every identifiable person in it is over 18 and has consented to its upload and display on an adult platform. To the fullest extent permitted by law you waive any moral rights in the content as against DCZ. You are responsible for keeping your own copies; we are not a backup service.
We will not sell your content, and we will not use it in external advertising without your permission. Deleting content or your account removes it from public view on DCZ. Because of the nature of the service, the licence survives to the extent necessary for: (a) copies in backups and logs until overwritten in the ordinary course; (b) content already received by another member; (c) records we are legally required to retain, including 18 U.S.C. § 2257 records, moderation records and evidence relating to reports, investigations or legal claims; and (d) anonymised or aggregated data that no longer identifies you.
No obligation to monitor. We may — but are not required to — pre-screen, review, refuse, edit, restrict or remove any content or account, at any time, for any reason or none, without notice and without liability. Any moderation we do carry out does not make us the author or publisher of member content, and does not create a duty to detect every violation.
All uploaded content is subject to AI moderation (PhotoDNA, Hive AI) and admin review before becoming visible to other members. DCZ reserves the right to remove any content at any time without notice.
By uploading explicit content, you warrant that all depicted individuals are 18 years of age or older and have consented to appearing on an adult platform. DCZ will create a corresponding 18 U.S.C. § 2257 record linking your upload to your verified identity.
6. Watermarks
All approved media on DCZ is watermarked with the DCZ logo. This watermark is applied to protect both creators and the platform. You may not use tools to remove or obscure the watermark.
7. Subscriptions & Payments
Premium subscriptions are available via CCBill (web), Apple IAP (iOS app), or Google Play Billing (Android app). All payments are subject to the terms of the applicable payment processor. DCZ does not store payment card details.
Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, until you cancel. We will tell you the price and billing interval before you subscribe. You can cancel at any time in Settings → Subscription (or, for app-store purchases, in your Apple or Google account). Cancelling stops the next renewal; your membership continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Refunds. Except where the law requires otherwise, all fees are non-refundable. We do not refund partially used periods, unused time, periods arising from a failure to cancel before renewal, or fees where an account is suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms. Any refund outside your statutory rights is at our sole discretion and does not create an entitlement to another. Payment-processor and app-store policies also apply. Initiating a chargeback instead of contacting us first is a breach of these Terms and may result in permanent removal.
Your statutory rights are not affected. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or European Union you have a legal right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days. Because DCZ is digital content supplied immediately, you are asked to consent to immediate access and to acknowledge that doing so may reduce that right; where it still applies, we will refund you promptly. Members in jurisdictions with automatic-renewal or cooling-off statutes (including several US states, Australia and India) retain whatever rights those laws give them. Nothing in these Terms removes a right you cannot lawfully waive.
8. Privacy & 2257 Records
Your use of DCZ is also governed by our Privacy Policy. 18 U.S.C. § 2257 custodial records are maintained as described in our 2257 Statement. Our use of cookies is described in our Cookie Policy.
8A. Recording and Monitoring of Interactive Video Sessions
You acknowledge and agree that all interactive video sessions on DCZ — including one-to-one video calls, group video rooms, livestreams and verification sessions — are recorded, and that such recordings may be reviewed by authorised DCZ personnel. Recording occurs automatically for every such session. By initiating or joining an interactive video session, you give your express consent to the recording of that session and to its review in accordance with this clause and §3.1 of our Privacy Policy. If you do not consent, you must not initiate or join an interactive video session.
All-party consent. Certain jurisdictions require the consent of every party to a communication before it may be recorded. By accepting these Terms, each member gives that consent in advance, on their own behalf, in respect of every interactive video session in which they participate. You further represent and warrant that any other person you permit to appear within your camera frame during a session is aged 18 or over, is aware of and consents to the recording, and has agreed to these Terms. You are solely responsible for obtaining that consent.
Purpose. Recordings are reviewed only to detect, prevent and investigate unlawful conduct — including child sexual abuse material, human trafficking, non-consensual or coerced participation, extortion and the sexual exploitation of minors — to investigate member reports, and to respond to valid legal process. Recordings are not used for marketing, profiling, advertising or model training, are never disclosed to other members, and are never made public.
Mandatory reporting.Where a review identifies apparent child sexual abuse material, DCZ will remove the content, terminate the account without notice or refund, preserve the relevant material, and report the matter to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A. Where a review identifies other apparent criminal conduct, DCZ may report the matter to the competent authorities and may preserve the relevant recording beyond its ordinary retention period for that purpose.
Retention and security. Recordings are encrypted at rest, held in private storage, accessible only to a limited number of named personnel, and deleted automatically at the end of the retention periods set out in §5 of the Privacy Policy, save where subject to a legal hold or an active investigation.
No expectation of privacy as against DCZ. Interactive video sessions are private as between members and are not visible to other members. However, you acknowledge that you have no expectation of privacy as against DCZ in respect of the content of such sessions, to the extent described in this clause. Nothing in this clause obliges DCZ to monitor, review or record any particular session, and DCZ accepts no liability for any failure to detect unlawful conduct.
9. Location Data & Matchmaking
DCZ is a location-based community. Distance and locality are central to how we rank matches, populate Near Me and Discover, surface local events and parties, and show travel plans. By creating an account you acknowledge and consent to DCZ collecting and processing location data as described below.
9.1 Approximate location (always collected)
We derive an approximate location from your IP address and network each time you sign in. This is accurate only to the city or metropolitan area — never to your street or address. We use it to show distance to other members, to detect suspicious or fraudulent signups, and to meet our safety and legal obligations. You cannot opt out of this while using DCZ, as it is required to operate the service safely.
9.2 Precise location (optional, permission-based)
Your browser or device may ask for permission to share your precise location (GPS). Granting it is entirely optional and gives you a materially better experience:
- More accurate distances and better-ordered matches
- Genuinely nearby members in Near Me, rather than a whole metro area
- Local events, parties and stays that are actually within reach
- Faster review of your signup — our team can confirm you are a real local member
You may refuse, and you may withdraw permission at any time in your browser or device settings. Refusing does not prevent you from joining DCZ or from being approved — matching simply falls back to the approximate location above and will be less accurate.
9.3 How location data is used and shared
- Never shown as coordinates to other members. Other members see only your city and an approximate distance — never your exact position, address or GPS coordinates.
- Visible to our review team. Moderators may view your approximate and, where shared, precise location as part of signup review, fraud prevention and safety investigations.
- Retention. Location is stored with your session records and retained as set out in our Privacy Policy.
- Not sold. We do not sell location data or share it with advertisers.
If you are in a jurisdiction with specific data-protection rights (such as the EEA, UK, or certain US states), you may withdraw consent and request deletion of your location data at any time by contacting [email protected].
10. Member Safety & Meeting In Person
DCZ is an introduction platform, not a chaperone. Any decision to communicate with, meet, travel to, or engage in any activity with another member is yours alone and is made entirely at your own risk.
- We are not a party to any interaction between members, whether online, at an event, or in person, and we do not supervise, attend or mediate those interactions.
- We are not responsible for the conduct of any member, online or offline, including any injury, loss, harassment, coercion, transmission of infection, property damage, or criminal act.
- Consent between members is theirs to give, and to withdraw, at any time. Everyone must respect a withdrawal of consent immediately. Ignoring it is grounds for permanent removal and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.
- Take normal precautions: meet first in public, tell someone you trust where you are going, arrange your own transport, and stop if anything feels wrong.
- If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first, then report the member to us.
10.1 Release
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release DCZ Media Holdings LLC, its owners, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses and liabilities of every kind — known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed — arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute, interaction or encounter between you and any other member, whether occurring on DCZ, at an event, or anywhere offline.
If you are a California resident, you expressly waive California Civil Code § 1542, which reads: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You waive any comparable provision of the law of any other jurisdiction, to the extent that waiver is permitted.
11. Verification, Screening & Prohibited Persons
We do not run criminal background checks. Our verification steps — age estimation, liveness recording and the Genuine Member badge — confirm that an account is operated by a real adult. They are not a criminal-history check, a character reference, or a guarantee of safety, honesty or identity. A verified badge means only that a person completed that check, and you should exercise the same caution with verified and unverified members alike.
You may not use DCZ if you are a registered sex offender or have been convicted of a violent or sexual offence. By registering you represent that neither applies to you. We will remove any account we determine to be in breach, and we may report it. If you suspect a member falls into this category, report them to us immediately.
12. Termination, Service Changes & Discontinuation
DCZ may suspend or permanently terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for violation of these Terms. Certain violations (CSAM, fraud, repeated abuse) result in immediate permanent bans with no right of appeal. You may close your account at any time in Settings. Terminating your account does not entitle you to a refund of a current period except where the law requires one, and does not release you from obligations incurred before termination.
12.1 We may change or withdraw the service
DCZ is provided on an ongoing but not guaranteed basis. We may, at any time and at our sole discretion:
- add, change, limit, suspend or remove any feature, and change how matching, ranking or any part of the service works;
- change subscription prices for future billing periods, on notice before the change takes effect — you may cancel before renewal if you do not accept the new price;
- impose or change usage limits; and
- suspend or permanently discontinue the whole service, in any country or globally.
No feature is guaranteed to remain available, and no member has a vested right in any feature, price or level of service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from any change, suspension, withdrawal or discontinuation.
12.2 If DCZ closes down
If the service is permanently discontinued, or DCZ Media Holdings LLC ceases trading, is wound up, becomes insolvent, or transfers the business:
- we will give such notice as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, and where practicable a period in which to export your own content;
- to the fullest extent permitted by law, no refund, credit, compensation or damages will be payable for any unused, prepaid or remaining portion of any subscription, membership or credit;
- all licences granted to you end immediately, and all obligations of DCZ under these Terms cease, other than obligations that survive by law; and
- your account and its data may be deleted, or transferred to a successor operator on terms no less protective of your privacy than our Privacy Policy.
Any right you may have as a consumer, or as a creditor in an insolvency, that cannot lawfully be excluded is unaffected — but nothing in these Terms creates a right to a refund on discontinuation.
12.3 “Lifetime” memberships
Where a membership is described as “lifetime”, this means the operational lifetime of the DCZ service under its current ownership — not the lifetime of the member. It confers no ownership interest, is non-transferable and non-refundable, ends if the service is discontinued or the account is terminated for breach, and does not exempt the member from these Terms.
12.4 Content and data loss
We are not a storage or backup service. To the fullest extent permitted by law we are not liable for the deletion, corruption, loss or failure to store any content, message, photograph, video or other data. Keep your own copies of anything you would not want to lose.
13. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
DCZ is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that you will find a match, that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any member's profile, photos or statements are accurate.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DCZ Media Holdings LLC is not liable for user-generated content, member interactions (online or offline), or for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or loss of goodwill.
Member content is not ours. DCZ is an interactive computer service that hosts content created by its members. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including 47 U.S.C. § 230 and equivalent intermediary-liability protections elsewhere, we are not treated as the publisher or speaker of member content and are not liable for it. Opinions, photographs, claims and statements posted by members are theirs alone, and we do not verify them.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising from your use of DCZ shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 100.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any right a consumer cannot waive under the law of their country. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or European Union, your statutory rights are unaffected.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless DCZ Media Holdings LLC, its officers, members, employees and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with: (a) content you upload or transmit; (b) your use or misuse of DCZ; (c) your breach of these Terms or of any law; (d) your infringement of anyone else's rights; or (e) your interaction with any other member, including anything that occurs when you meet in person.
We may assume exclusive control of the defence of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us. This obligation survives termination of your account. If you are a consumer, this section applies only to the extent permitted by the law of your country.
15. Copyright & DMCA
We respect intellectual property rights and expect members to do the same. Uploading content you do not own or have permission to use is a breach of these Terms.
If you believe content on DCZ infringes your copyright, send a notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) — identification of the work, the location of the material, your contact details, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorised to act — as set out in our DMCA Policy. We remove infringing material promptly and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. You may submit a counter-notice if you believe material was removed in error.
Non-consensual intimate imagery. If someone has uploaded intimate images of you without your consent, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We remove such content on an expedited basis and do not require a formal copyright notice.
16. Third-Party Links & Services
DCZ may link to or integrate third-party sites and services (for example payment processors, verification providers, or venues and events listed by members). We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, products, pricing, availability or privacy practices. Your dealings with a third party are between you and them, and their terms and privacy policies apply.
16.1 Member-organised events, parties, stays and travel
Events, parties, clubs, stays, trips and meet-ups listed on DCZ are organised by members, venues or third parties — not by DCZ, unless we state in writing that we are the organiser. We merely provide a place to list and discover them.
- We do not vet, inspect, license, insure or supervise any event, venue or host, and we make no representation about safety, legality, licensing, accessibility, accuracy of a listing, or the conduct of anyone attending.
- Any booking, payment, deposit, ticket, cancellation or refund is a matter between you and the organiser. We are not responsible for refunds and will not act as intermediary, escrow or guarantor.
- You attend entirely at your own risk, and you are responsible for complying with the law where the event takes place.
- The release in § 10.1 and the indemnity in § 14 apply in full to events, stays and travel arranged through DCZ.
16.2 Beta and experimental features
Features marked beta, preview or experimental are provided as-is, may be changed or removed without notice, may not work as intended, and carry no warranty or support commitment.
17. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
17.1 Talk to us first
Most problems are resolved quickly. Before starting any formal proceeding, email [email protected] describing the issue and the outcome you want. We will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.
17.2 Arbitration and class-action waiver (United States only)
If you are resident in the United States and the dispute is not resolved informally, you and DCZ agree it will be settled by binding individual arbitrationadministered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Wyoming or conducted remotely, by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator decides all issues, except that a court decides the enforceability of this paragraph.
You and DCZ each waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in any class, collective, consolidated or representative action. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. No arbitrator may consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — is severed and heard in court; the remainder stays in arbitration. Either party may still bring an individual claim in small-claims court.
17.3 Time limit for claims
Any claim arising out of or relating to DCZ must be brought within one year of the date the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This does not shorten any period that cannot lawfully be shortened in your country.
17.4 Members outside the United States
Sections 17.2 and 17.3 do not apply to you where your law says otherwise. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, European Union, or another country whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, you keep that right and the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence. Nothing here requires you to arbitrate or to litigate in Wyoming if your law says otherwise.
18. General
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in force.
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, DMCA Policy and 2257 Statement, are the entire agreement between you and DCZ and supersede any prior understanding.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not transfer your account or your rights under these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of the business, on the same terms.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, epidemics, strikes, government action, network or hosting-provider failure and internet outages.
- No partnership. Nothing here creates an agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship.
- Promotional references.We may refer to a member's username, city or country, and publicly posted profile content, in DCZ's own promotional material about the community. We will not use your private media, your real name, or your contact details for this, and you may object at any time by emailing us.
- In-platform messages. While your account is open we may send you service, community and promotional messages inside DCZ (Feed, notifications, messenger). You can control notification channels in Settings; see our Privacy Policy for marketing opt-outs.
- Notices. We give notice by email to the address on your account or by posting in the app; you give notice by emailing [email protected]. Keeping your email current is your responsibility.
- Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only; the English version governs.
- Taxes. Prices may exclude sales tax, VAT, GST or similar charges, which will be added where applicable. You are responsible for any tax arising from your own use of DCZ or from any transaction you make with another member.
- Sanctions and export control. You represent that you are not located in, and not ordinarily resident in, a country subject to comprehensive US sanctions, and that you are not on any restricted-party list. We may block or terminate access to comply with sanctions, export-control or other laws.
- Local law is your responsibility. DCZ is operated from the United States. If the content or activity DCZ facilitates is restricted where you live, you are responsible for that, and you use the service at your own risk. We make no representation that DCZ is lawful or appropriate in every country.
- No fiduciary or advisory relationship. We owe you no fiduciary duty and give no legal, medical, health or relationship advice.
- Headings. Section headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
- Survival. Sections on content licence, safety, screening, disclaimers, indemnification, dispute resolution and these general terms survive termination.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give notice by email or in the app before they take effect, and update the date at the top of this page. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, you may close your account.
