Terms of Service

You must be at least 18. You must not have been convicted of a violent or sexual offence, and you must not be barred from using a service like this under any applicable law. One account per person.

You paste a description of yourself written by an AI you already use. We read it, build a profile from it, and introduce you to a small number of people we think you should meet, with an explanation attached to each. Alva is free to use.

We do not guarantee that you will receive any matches, that a match will reply, or that anything will come of it. Matching is a judgement made by software, not a promise.

You are responsible for the text you paste. By submitting it you confirm that it is about you, that you are entitled to share it, and that sharing it does not breach anyone else’s rights or the terms of the AI service that produced it.

Please remove details about other people before you paste. An AI writing about you will often mention partners, family, friends and colleagues, and those people have not agreed to anything here.

You keep ownership of everything you provide. You give us a licence to store and process it for the purpose of running Alva — building your profile, matching you, and showing the agreed parts of it to a match. That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we are required to keep.

You agree not to:

• Impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your age or identity.
• Harass, threaten, abuse or discriminate against another user, or send sexual content to someone who has not invited it.
• Use Alva to advertise, recruit, solicit money, or run any kind of scam.
• Share another user’s photos, messages or personal details outside Alva without their consent.
• Scrape the service, attempt to extract other users’ data, or interfere with how it runs.

We may suspend or remove an account that breaks these rules, and where there is a risk to someone we may do so without notice.

We do not run background checks or verify identities. We do not screen users for criminal history. Anything you do with someone you meet through Alva, online or in person, is at your own risk. Take the precautions you would take meeting any stranger: meet somewhere public, tell someone where you are going, and leave if something feels wrong.

Alva the assistant is software. It is not a therapist, a counsellor or a medical professional, and nothing it says is advice of that kind. If you are in crisis or at risk of harming yourself, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line.

You can stop using Alva and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or stop offering the service, and we will give reasonable notice where we can.

Alva is provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for the conduct of other users, or for anything that happens between you and someone you meet. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited.

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will tell you before it takes effect, and continuing to use Alva afterwards means you accept it.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer elsewhere, you keep the protections of your local law.
