2. WELCOME
Marble is a membership-based online community created to get people to go on dates in real life while exploring their city’s best restaurants and cocktail bars. Our goal is to foster a safe, trusted community for members to meet and engage in ways that will result in quality real-world connections and experiences. With that in mind, here are a few of the most important things to know about Marble:
-
We strive to foster a community where all members feel comfortable, secure and that their privacy is protected. We do this in a number of ways:
-
Our team and membership committee have been rigorously vetted and are under strict non-disclosure agreements, so your information, interest and involvement remains strictly between you and us, other than as you elect to share it through your actions or activity within the Service (as defined below).
-
We only select community members who we believe will adhere to our code of conduct, including respecting the privacy of our members, and who have agreed to do so pursuant to these Terms of Use. Further, we may periodically review our community and remove members who are not acting in accordance with our code of conduct or the below Terms of Use or who are otherwise engaging in disrespectful, distasteful, inappropriate or improper behavior.
-
In short, our members are the most important thing to us. Your comfort, safety, and trust in our community are the things we care most about, and we will never compromise that. Should you ever have any questions regarding these Terms of Use, your application, membership, or any other aspect of our Service, please feel free to contact us at contact@marbledatingapp.com.

4. APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION PROCESS
In order to gain access to the App, prospective users will be asked to complete a brief application, with accepted users being offered membership for a fee. All applications will be considered; however, we reserve complete control and sole discretion regarding who is granted membership to the App. Among the factors that our membership committee considers in reviewing applications is the extent of the applicant’s connection to existing members, as we’ve found an existing “real world” network within the community to be among the best indicators of an applicant’s engagement and enjoyment on the App. Those who are not granted access will be placed on our waitlist, which is continually reviewed by a dedicated team for additional applicants to be admitted.
You will be required to register with Marble and provide certain information in order to activate a membership or otherwise access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted or requested. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. By submitting an application, you agree to receive text messages and emails from us regarding, among other things, the status of your application.
Upon acceptance as a member, applicants will be required to select a subscription option from among various prices and durations. Payments automatically renew until canceled and are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the payment method. In addition to membership subscription fees, users have the ability to make in-app purchases. Any such in-app purchases will be paid via the user’s Apple account and are subject to the terms and conditions thereof. We reserve the right to raise or lower the cost of our membership subscription fees, in-app purchases and other charges, and to create additional tiers or types of membership, at any time. As we use third-party services for payment processing, we do not have access to or store your payment information and we do not offer refunds for any reason other than as set forth in the Terms of Use. Unused in-app purchases and any unused portion of a subscription will not be refunded upon the expiration or termination of a user’s membership.
Upon using our Services, you will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account, the accuracy of your information, and will be fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Marble of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security, (b) keep your information current and accurate at all times, (c) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service, and (d) implement the necessary security safeguards on any device you use to access the Service. In addition to the disclaimers and limitations set forth below, Marble will not be liable for any loss, injury or other damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
Term and Termination.
You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, by navigating to Settings, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and pressing “Delete account.” Marble reserves the right to investigate and, if appropriate, modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate your account or your access to the Service without a refund if Marble believes that you have violated these Terms, misused our Services, or behaved in a way that Marble regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off our Services. We reserve the right to make use of any personal, technological, legal, or other means available to enforce the Terms, at any time without liability and without the obligation to give you prior notice, including, but not limited to, preventing you from accessing the Services.
If your account is terminated by you or by Marble for any reason, these Terms continue and remain enforceable between you and Marble, and you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases made, including all membership subscription fees and in-app purchases. Your information will be maintained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Subscription
We offer a Basic package and a Premium package, both of which require payment either monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually via the Apple in-app payment system. To receive our Service, you agree to provide a valid credit card or debit card number. Subscription terms automatically renew for indefinite successive renewal terms for the same period as the initial term, until canceled by the user or by us in accordance with these Terms of Use and members are charged upon such renewals. The subscription fee, when paid, is non-refundable and accrues on the first day of each term or successive renewal term until cancelled, regardless of whether you use the Service. Our Basic package gives members the ability to create and share dates, invite members to their dates, browse the map and join existing dates, and adjust age and distance preferences. Our Premium package gives members access to all Basic package features plus the ability to see double the amount of date options on the map, send double the amount of date requests, see double the amount of standouts, send double the amount of date invites, and get priority access to Marble events.
By using the Service you acknowledge and agree that certain features, products, events, and other aspects of the app and, more generally, the Service, are not available to all users. By way of example, use of the app is only available to members, but certain aspects of the Service, such as those related to events, may be available to non-members. Further, certain features and updates within the app are frequently beta tested among a small portion of our users and other more permanent features are made available only to certain segments of our users based on their location, preferences, use of the App, unique privacy requirements, subscription package, and other factors.
Prohibited Commercial Use.
The Service is for personal use only. You may not use the Service or any content contained in the Service (including, but not limited to, content of other users, designs, art, text, graphics, images, video, logos, software, and computer code) in connection with any commercial endeavors, such as promotion of a business, or advertising or soliciting any user to buy or sell any products or services not offered by the Company. Users of the Service may not use any information obtained from the Service to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any other user without his or her prior explicit consent.

You should only elect to disclose your location after careful consideration. Further, to the extent that you share the details of a reservation or join another user’s reservation though the Service, Marble disclaims any affiliation with such locations and makes no representations or warranties as to the safety of the location or the activities taking place therein. As noted below, in no event shall the Company, its affiliates or its officers, directors, employees or agents be liable (directly or indirectly) for any losses or damages whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, general, special, compensatory, consequential, and/or incidental, arising out of or relating to the conduct of you or anyone else, whether or not in connection with the use of the Service, including, without limitation, death, bodily injury, emotional distress, and/or any other damages resulting from communications, meetings or interactions with other users or persons you meet through the Service, including those who may be able to find you through location-based components of the Service. YOU AGREE TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IN ALL INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS AND IN ATTENDING ANY EVENT, PARTICULARLY IF YOU DECIDE TO COMMUNICATE OUTSIDE OF THE SERVICE OR MEET IN PERSON, OR IF YOU DECIDE TO DISCLOSE YOUR LOCATION, PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION, CONTACT INFORMATION OR MONEY TO ANOTHER USER.

By posting Your Content as part of the Service, you grant Marble an indefinite non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, license to host, store, use, copy, display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, modify and distribute the content.

Arbitration and Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be construed, governed, interpreted, and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Except for users residing within the European Union, Norway and elsewhere where prohibited by applicable law, the exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including any alleged breach thereof) or the Service shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that you have the right to bring an individual claim against the Company in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction. But whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against the Company any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding. By using the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and the Company (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the Company may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in the State of New York. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes and WAIVE YOUR RIGHT, IF ANY, TO A JURY TRIAL in such actions. These Terms of Use, and any dispute between you and the Company, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. For users residing in any jurisdiction where this arbitration agreement is prohibited by law, the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding Delaware’s conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the Services but not eligible for arbitration will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the State of New York and you and Marble consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents subsidiaries and affiliates, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of or failure to comply with these Terms of Use (including any breach of your representations and warranties contained herein), any event that you promote, market, create, attend, host or invite others to using the Service, any postings or content you post in the Service, and the violation of any law or regulation by you. The Company reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with the Company in connection therewith.
Event Creators and Hosts.
In addition to, and under no circumstances in limitation of, the other provisions of these Terms of Use, by utilizing the Service to, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, create, host, promote, or invite others to a private or public event, you acknowledge and agree that (i) the Company is not responsible for the event or any aspect thereof, including, but not limited to, the behavior or safety of any attendee, (ii) you will not promote, market or refer to the event as a “Marble event” or otherwise indicate or give the impression that Marble has any involvement with the event other than as an invitation platform, and (iii) you agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents subsidiaries and affiliates, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees, made by any third party relating to the event.
Notice.
The Company may provide you with notices, including those regarding these Terms of Use, using any reasonable means, which may include email, SMS, MMS, text message, or postings in the Service. Such notices may not be received if you violate these Terms of Use by accessing the Service in an unauthorized manner. You agree that you are deemed to have received any and all notices that would have been delivered had you accessed the Service in an authorized manner.
Reviews.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms of Use should be construed to prohibit you from offering customer reviews of Marble or its Service or engaging in any activities protected by the Consumer Review Fairness Act, California’s Yelp Law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1670.8), or any other similar statute or rule.
Entire Agreement; Miscellaneous.
These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, comprise the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the use of the Service. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, the remainder hereof shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your Marble account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your profile or contents within your Marble account terminate upon your death or termination from the Service. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of these Terms of Use and you may not make any representations or bind the Company in any manner.
State-Specific Terms.
The following provisions are added to these Terms of Use for users residing in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin: you, the buyer, may cancel your membership, without penalty or obligation, at any time prior to midnight of the third business day following the original date of this contract, excluding Sundays and holidays.

In the event that you die before the end of your subscription period, your estate shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription which is allocable to the period after your death. In the event that you become disabled (such that you are unable to use the Service) before the end of your subscription period, you shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription which is allocable to the period after your disability by providing the company notice at the same email address as listed above.
Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, users of the Service from California are entitled to the following specific consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210.
