1. Who we are, and agreeing to these Terms

ANTE DATING APP LLC ("ANTE", "we", "us") runs the ANTE app, this website (alwaysante.com), the ANTE waitlist, and in-person ANTE Social and ANTE Dinner events in Chicago. By creating an account in the app, joining the waitlist, RSVPing to an event, or coming to one, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use ANTE.

2. Who can use ANTE

To use ANTE, all of these must be true:

• —You're 23 or older. The app asks for your birthdate when you sign up, and staff check a photo ID at the door of every event.
• —You give us true information about yourself, and use a mobile number you personally control.
• —You have only one account, and don't sign up anyone else.
• —You haven't been removed from ANTE before, unless we've told you that you can come back.
• —You're not a registered sex offender, and haven't been convicted of a violent or sexual crime.

3. Your account

Your ANTE account lives in the app.

• —You sign in with Apple or Google. We don't get or keep your password.
• —When you sign up, or change your number, we text a one-time code to your mobile number to check that it's yours. Only mobile numbers are accepted.
• —Keep access to your Apple or Google account safe. What's done through your account is your responsibility.
• —You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile → Delete account. What we keep after that, and for how long, is in our Privacy Policy.

4. ANTE Socials and ANTE Dinners

You can RSVP to events, and ask for Dinner invitations, in the app or on this website.

• —Socials are open group events for singles. An RSVP reserves a spot, but doesn't guarantee entry if the venue is full or your conduct is a problem.
• —Dinners are curated and invitation-only, and seats are limited. You can ask for an invitation; ANTE chooses each Dinner's guests, and a request doesn't guarantee an invitation. Section 5 explains how we choose.
• —At the door, staff check your photo ID against the event's guest list. Only people who RSVP'd to a Social, or accepted an invitation to a Dinner, get in: there are no walk-ins.
• —We may change or cancel an event. If we do, we'll tell you in the app, and by text if you've agreed to texts.
• —If you can't make it, cancel in the app or email ante@alwaysante.com as early as you can, so someone else can have your seat.
• —Events are at third-party venues. Follow the venue's rules, attend at your own risk, and treat other guests and venue staff with respect.

5. Showing up, and how we choose Dinner guests

ANTE is about accountability. We keep track of whether you accept, decline, cancel or don't show up for Dinners you're invited to, and of the people you've referred to ANTE. We use this, along with your profile, to choose who's invited to future Dinners. Late cancellations and no-shows make future invitations less likely. A founder reviews every guest list before invitations go out.

6. How to behave

ANTE has no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive members. At events, in the app and on this website, you must not:

• —harass, threaten, abuse or discriminate against anyone, or touch anyone without their consent;
• —lie about who you are, or pretend to be someone else;
• —sell or promote anything, or ask anyone for money;
• —record or photograph other guests without their permission;
• —break the law, or try to break, overload or misuse the app or this website.

7. Your photos

Your photos in the app must be of you, and recent. They must not show nudity or sexual content, violence, weapons, drugs, hate symbols, other people without their permission, children on their own, or contact details. We check every photo automatically, and remove any that break these rules. Your photos stay yours: you let ANTE store them, check them, and show them in the app as our Privacy Policy describes, for as long as your account is open. You confirm you have the right to share each photo you add.

8. Reporting, blocking and enforcement

If another member or their photos make you uncomfortable, report them or block them in the app. We look at every report within 24 hours. A member you block won't see you again, and you won't see them. We may remove you from an event, remove your photos, or suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if someone reports you and we believe the report, or if we decide that's needed to keep members safe.

9. Your safety

ANTE doesn't run criminal background checks on members, and can't promise how anyone will behave. Meet people in public places, and make your own way to and from events. Tell a friend where you're going. If someone makes you feel unsafe, tell ANTE staff at the event, or email ante@alwaysante.com. In an emergency, call 911.

10. Texts from ANTE

You can agree to ANTE's texts in the app, by ticking its one text-message box (it isn't ticked for you), or on this website, by submitting a form that asks for your agreement. Either way, you agree to receive recurring automated marketing and informational text messages from ANTE at the number you provide: about your events (invitations, confirmations, reminders, changes, cancellations and the venue address) and about ANTE (new Socials and Dinners, launch announcements and other ANTE news). Separately, when you ask to verify your number with ANTE, we text you a one-time verification code, powered by Notify (AWS End User Messaging); codes are sent only when you ask for one, so how many you get varies.

• —Consent is not a condition of any purchase, and in the app it isn't a condition of joining ANTE.
• —Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
• —Reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe, or HELP for assistance. You can also email ante@alwaysante.com, or untick texts in the app.
• —Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• —If you have questions about your text or data plan, contact your wireless provider.
• —For questions about privacy, read our Privacy Policy at alwaysante.com/privacy.

11. Push notifications

If you allow them, the app sends notifications about your events, and news about new events if you choose that. You can turn off news about new events in the app, and all notifications in your phone's settings.

12. Photos and videos at events

Photos and videos may be taken at ANTE events and used on our social channels and marketing materials. By RSVPing to or attending an event, you agree to this. Email ante@alwaysante.com and we'll remove any image of you on request.

13. Referrals

Your referral code is personal and can't be transferred. It shows us who you introduced to ANTE, and the people you refer count toward your standing for Dinners (section 5). Self-referrals, bulk or automated sign-ups, and fake numbers don't count. We may change or end the program at any time.

14. Payments

ANTE doesn't charge for the app or its events today. If that changes, we'll tell you before it applies, and update these Terms.

15. What's ours

The app, this website, the ANTE name and logo, and everything ANTE creates belong to ANTE. You may use them only to take part in ANTE, as these Terms allow.

16. The App Store

If you got the app from Apple's App Store:

• —These Terms are between you and ANTE only, not Apple. ANTE, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
• —Apple has no duty to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• —If the app fails to work as promised, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund what you paid for it, if anything. Apple has no other warranty duty for the app.
• —Apple isn't responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability, failure to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, or consumer protection claims. ANTE is.
• —If anyone claims the app infringes their intellectual property, ANTE, not Apple, handles it.
• —You confirm that you aren't in a country under a US embargo, and aren't on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• —Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these Terms against you, as third-party beneficiaries.

17. No guarantees, and limits on our liability

ANTE is provided "as is". We don't promise you'll meet anyone, that the app or this website will always work, or that events will go as planned.

• —To the extent the law allows, ANTE isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for how other members, guests or venues behave.
• —To the extent the law allows, ANTE's total liability to you is limited to US$100.
• —You agree to cover ANTE's losses from claims caused by your breaking these Terms or the law.

18. Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Any dispute will be decided by the state or federal courts in Cook County, Illinois.

19. Changes, and how to reach us

We may update these Terms. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app before it applies, and post the new version here with a new date. Questions: ante@alwaysante.com.
