2050 – TERMS OF USE

Last Updated: 23rd August 2025

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the 2050 mobile application, desktop version, websites, and related services (collectively, the “Service” or “Platform”), except where we expressly state that separate terms (and not these) apply.

The Service is provided by 2050 App Inc., referred to in these Terms as “2050,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and 2050. By downloading, installing, registering, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 Mission

2050 exists to connect individuals globally through authentic, interest-based, and often semi-anonymous interactions. Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging space for self-expression, relationship building, and global dialogue.

1.2 Core Features

The Service includes, without limitation, the following modules and functionalities:

  • Moments – Capture and share experiences using photos, videos, audio, and live streams. Selfies are prohibited to encourage creative expression and preserve user anonymity. Moments serve as a visual and auditory diary contributing to your unique digital identity.
  • Connect – Enables users to match with others while building their profile with their wealth story, interests, personality traits, lifestyle habits, and relationship goals. Connect may be used for dating or non-romantic connections.
  • Broadcast – Publish short, text-based updates, opinions, or ideas. Broadcasts may be posted publicly, semi-publicly, or anonymously.
  • Whisper – Private, secure, mutually initiated messaging between connected users or in direct response to Broadcasts.
  • Wall – A global, anonymous discussion feed where users can post and repost content, debate, and react to global events.
  • Speed Dating – Timed, interest-based virtual interactions (approximately 20 minutes per session) matching users according to questionnaire compatibility.
  • 50M – Location-based discovery tool that identifies and enables interaction with other users within a fixed radius (e.g., 50 meters).
  • SHHH.. – An anonymous one-way messaging feature allowing users to send silent text to personal contacts via email or WhatsApp without revealing their platform identity.
  • Chamber – A secure, private, text-based submission space for anonymous confessions or reflections, timestamped but not publicly displayed.
  • My Profile – The heart of the 2050 experience whereby completing a mandatory questionnaire, users create their unique persona and unlock access to other modules like Connect and Speed Dating—both designed as extensions of their profiles.
    • a. My Lifestyle – Curated profile collections allowing users to group Moments into themed categories (e.g., outfits, travel experiences).
    • b. My Journal – A storytelling module for sharing meaningful personal experiences. Some submissions may require identity verification (government-issued ID plus facial recognition) to improve authenticity and reduce false narratives.

1.3 Modifications

We may add, modify, or remove features without liability to you, provided that such changes do not materially reduce the core functionality of the Service without reasonable notice.

2. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SECURITY

2.1 Registration Requirements

To access most features, you must register an account by providing accurate details such as an email, phone number, or approved social login. Instead of a traditional username, you will be assigned a Name Plate. Certain features, in the future may require further verification to prove the authenticity of the person. While public anonymity is allowed, backend details must be accurate, and we may revoke anonymity when required by law or to prevent harm

2.2 Anonymity and Verification

  • Public anonymity is permitted, but backend verification details must be accurate and complete.
  • Certain features (e.g., My Journal, Speed Dating) may require verification of identity at later stages.
  • We may revoke anonymity where required by law, regulatory obligation, or to prevent harm.

2.3 Security Obligations

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials. Sharing accounts is prohibited. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. ELIGIBILITY

3.1 General Requirements

You may only use the Service if you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract in your jurisdiction and, where applicable, of legal age to access dating features. You may not use the Service if you are prohibited by law from doing so, if you have been suspended or removed for prior violations, or if you are a convicted sex offender.

3.2 Prohibited Users

You may not use the Service if:

  • You are prohibited by law from accessing the Service;
  • You have been suspended or removed for violations of these Terms;
  • You are a convicted sex offender.

4. Acceptable Use and Community Standards

You agree to use the Service in a lawful and respectful manner and to comply with our Community Guidelines. You may not post or share content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or discriminatory. You must not engage in stalking, threats, intimidation, or any conduct that endangers the safety of others. Posting or requesting another person’s personal information without their consent is prohibited, as is any attempt to de-anonymize users.

You must not misuse location-based features such as 50M for surveillance or harassment, nor may you falsify or spoof your location. Automated scripts, bots, or scraping tools may not be used without our prior written consent. You may not sell, trade, or transfer accounts or data, nor may you attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise interfere with the Service.

All content you share must be created or owned by you, or you must have all necessary rights and permissions to share it. Prohibited content includes, but is not limited to, illegal material, child sexual abuse material, hate speech, non-consensual sexual content, violent extremist content, and infringements of intellectual property rights. These rules apply to all parts of the Service, including private or semi-private features such as Chamber and My Journal.

You are solely responsible for the content you post and for ensuring it is lawful, reliable, and appropriate. 2050 disclaims any responsibility for such content and will not be liable for harm resulting from material posted by you or other users.

5. LOCATION-BASED SERVICES

These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those of your jurisdiction and, in some cases, may not be as protective. This includes transfers to the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and other countries where we and our affiliates or service providers operate.

Where we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or other regions with data transfer restrictions, we will implement appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or equivalent legal mechanisms, to ensure that your rights and protections travel with your data.

By continuing to use the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information as described in this section, to the extent permitted by applicable law. For more information on how we handle and protect your personal data, please review our Privacy Policy.

9.2 User Content Disclaimer

You acknowledge that 2050 is an interactive computer service that hosts user-generated content and does not control, endorse, or adopt the views expressed in such content. We are not responsible or liable for:

  • (a) any content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, obscene, offensive, indecent, misleading, harmful, or otherwise objectionable;

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

  • (b) USD $100 (one hundred US dollars).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the liability of 2050 will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

10.1 Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (“Dispute”), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

10.2 Binding Arbitration — Exclusive Remedy

(a) Mandatory Arbitration – To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. You waive any right to a trial by judge or jury.

(b) Administrator & Rules – The arbitration will be administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the claim is filed. If ICDR is unavailable, 2050 will designate a comparable arbitration body.

(c) Seat and Language – The seat (legal place) of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, USA. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

(d) Arbitrator Selection – The tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator, except that 2050 may elect a three-arbitrator panel for claims over USD $250,000.

(e) Confidentiality – All proceedings, submissions, and awards in the arbitration shall be strictly confidential, except as required for judicial enforcement or as otherwise required by law.

(f) Costs – Each party shall bear its own legal costs and expenses and shall share equally in the administrative and arbitrator’s fees, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.

10.3 Class and Representative Action Waiver

You and 2050 agree that any Dispute shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney-general, or representative action. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate claims or to hear claims on a class or representative basis. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the arbitration agreement shall not apply to that claim.

10.4 Venue for Non-Arbitrable Claims

In the rare event that a Dispute is not subject to arbitration, you agree that it shall be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

10.5 Jury Trial Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and 2050 each irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding related to these Terms or the Service.

10.6 Time Limit to Bring Claims

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be filed within six (6) months after such claim or cause of action arose, or else be permanently barred.

10.7 Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 2050 may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief (including specific performance) in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop any unauthorized use, abuse, or threatened misuse of the Service, infringement of intellectual property, breach of confidentiality, or violation of applicable law, without first engaging in arbitration.

10.8 Severability

If any provision of this Section 10 is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, except that if the class-action waiver in Section 10.3 is held unenforceable, the entirety of the arbitration agreement in Section 10.2 shall be void for that claim.

10.9 Survival

This Section 10 shall survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Service.

11. AMENDMENTS

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to these Terms so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect.

If you continue to access or use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Terms. If you do not agree to any updated Terms or wish to terminate your agreement to this contract, you can do so by deleting your account and no longer accessing or using any part of the 2050 Service.
