4. Platform Overview and Description of Services
Review My Hinge is a two-sided marketplace that connects Users seeking dating profile feedback with vetted Reviewers offering personalized advice and critique. The Platform is designed to help Users improve the effectiveness of their online dating profiles and increase match rates through actionable, honest, and tailored feedback.
Through the Platform:
- Users may browse Reviewer profiles, select Review Packages, and submit their dating profile content—including photos, bios, prompts, and contextual information—for personalized evaluation.
- Reviewers may offer their services through various formats, including written reviews, video reviews, audio feedback, and consultations. Reviewers set their own prices, turnaround times, and specialties, subject to Platform guidelines and approval.
- Reviews are delivered digitally through the Platform, typically within the timeframe specified in the Review Package. Users may rate their experience with Reviewers after receiving a completed Review.
- Review My Hinge may also offer AI-powered tools for profile optimization, such as bio enhancements or photo analysis. These tools are optional and provided to supplement—but not replace—human feedback.
The Platform acts solely as an intermediary between Users and Reviewers. We do not create Reviews ourselves, nor do we guarantee specific outcomes (e.g., matches, dates, relationships) resulting from any advice provided. All Reviews are the independent opinions of the respective Reviewers.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or part of the Platform at any time without notice.
5. Account Creation and Security
To access certain features of the Platform, including submitting a dating profile or offering review services, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:
- Provide true, accurate, current, and complete information;
- Keep your account credentials secure and confidential;
- Maintain and promptly update your information as needed;
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or suspected breach of your account.
You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to safeguard your login credentials or account access.
You may not:
- Create an account using a false identity or false information;
- Create or use more than one account without our prior written approval;
- Use another user's account without their permission;
- Sell, rent, or transfer your account to anyone else.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any current or future use of the Platform if we believe you have violated these Terms, misrepresented any information, or compromised the integrity or security of the Platform.
6. Use of Services
The Platform enables Users to request personalized dating profile reviews from Reviewers in exchange for payment. By using the Platform, you agree to the following:
a. For Users (Profile Submitters)
When requesting a review, you agree to:
- Submit accurate, respectful, and relevant content, including dating profile photos, prompts, bios, and any additional context required for the Reviewer to provide meaningful feedback;

- Not submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, explicit, abusive, or otherwise violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines;
