Terms of Service — Eventide

Effective date: 2026-09-19 Last updated: 2026-10-14

YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT, WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION, AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THIS CONTRACT, EXCLUDING SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION NEED NOT TAKE A PARTICULAR FORM AND IS EFFECTIVE IF IT INDICATES YOUR DESIRE TO NOT BE BOUND BY THIS CONTRACT. TO CANCEL THIS CONTRACT, SEND AN E-MAIL THAT STATES THAT YOU, THE BUYER, ARE CANCELING THIS CONTRACT, OR WORDS OF SIMILAR EFFECT. SEND THIS NOTICE TO: support@eventidedating.com, the cancellation address of Eventide.

This paragraph sits first because Colorado law requires an online dating service contract to open with it. Eventide itself is free; the paragraph matters if you buy Eventide Premium, and §15 explains how it and the cancellation rights of other states work with a subscription bought through Apple.


1. Who we are, and what this is

Eventide ("Eventide", "we", "us") is a dating service for members and friends of the Seventh-day Adventist community, operated by Jonathan Demyan, an individual, at 4891 Taylor Circle, Collegedale, TN 37315. Eventide is offered in the United States only.

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and us. By creating an account you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not create an account. Our Community Rules at https://eventidedating.com/community restate the standards in §5 in plain language, including the standard of modesty and appropriateness we admit members against, and form part of these Terms; where they and these Terms differ, these Terms govern.

Eventide is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists or any of its conferences, unions, institutions or local churches. References to churches, conferences and Adventist belief describe our members and do not indicate endorsement by any organisation.

2. You must be 18 or older

Eventide is for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the service. We ask for your date of birth during signup, refuse anyone under 18, and the date of birth cannot be changed afterwards.

If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it immediately without notice. Anyone can report a suspected underage account from inside the app, and we handle those reports first. If Apple or anyone else tells us an account belongs to someone under 18, we treat that as a report of the same kind. Neither parental consent nor any app-store setting makes Eventide available to a minor.

3. Your account

4. How Eventide works

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the service. Where a change materially reduces what a paid subscription provides, we will tell you before it takes effect. If we ever discontinue Eventide entirely, we will give you at least 30 days' notice and time to export what the app lets you export, and Apple's refund rules apply to any remaining paid period.

5. Content standards: zero tolerance for objectionable content

We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour on Eventide. We enforce the rules in this section.

You may not post, send or share:

Modesty and appropriateness. Beyond the list above, every profile must meet the standard of modesty and appropriateness set out in our Community Rules, which covers how you are dressed and how you present yourself in your photographs, and how you write about yourself. It is one standard, applied in the same way to every member, and it is about what a profile shows and says. By creating an account you agree that we decide who is admitted to Eventide, and that we may decline a photograph or words, or decline or remove a profile, that in our judgment does not meet that standard. We tell you what to change, and you can change it and send it again. A decision under the standard is never based on a member's sex, race, colour, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry or disability.

You also may not:

6. Reporting, and what we do about it

Every profile and every conversation carries reporting and blocking, reachable in two taps. Blocking is immediate and mutual: you and the person you blocked disappear from each other's introductions, likes, matches and profile pages, and any conversation between you is closed.

A person reviews every report. We aim to act on objectionable content and abusive users within 24 hours, by removing the content or by warning, suspending or permanently banning the account, as the case warrants. Reports about safety are handled first. Where we suspend or ban an account, we may keep a record of it, so that the person cannot return under a new one.

No account is suspended automatically because of reports. Eventide reviews every report and may warn, hide, suspend or ban the account. A warning always names the reason. A hidden profile is not shown to other members, and the member keeps their existing matches and conversations. Eventide may also remove a photograph or profile text that breaks these Terms or the Community Rules, with a note to the member saying why.

If we ban a member because, in our judgment, they were using a false identity or posed a significant risk of trying to get money from other members, we tell every member who received and responded to a message from them, wherever they live, within 24 hours of the ban and never later than three days. §15 describes what that notice contains.

If more than one member reports you, and we confirm and act on what they reported, for harassment, threats, sexual misconduct, deceiving or defrauding other members, or other conduct that puts someone's safety at risk, we may tell your pastor or a leader of the church on your profile that we acted on your account, the kind of conduct, and when. We tell you first and give you 7 days to answer, unless waiting would put someone at risk. We never tell them who reported you. Our Privacy Policy (§6) sets out exactly what is shared.

Do not file a report you know to be false, or for a malicious, biased or otherwise illegitimate reason; we treat that as a breach of these Terms, and it can lead to the same consequences as the conduct being reported.

We may remove content or suspend an account without prior notice where we believe someone is at risk of harm. We will tell you why, unless doing so would put someone at risk or is prohibited by law.

We report to law enforcement where we are required to, or where we believe there is a credible threat to someone's safety, or where content involves the sexual exploitation of a minor.

7. Your content, and the rights you give us

You keep ownership of everything you post, including your photographs, your words and your profile.

You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display and distribute that content for the purpose of operating Eventide: showing your profile to other members, delivering your messages, and reviewing content for safety and compliance with these Terms. This licence includes the right to sublicense to the service providers who host and store data for us (our Privacy Policy §6 names them), solely so they can provide those services to us. If you and a match both turn on the optional conversation-starter feature, this also permits the AI providers named in Privacy Policy §6 to process the limited profile excerpts and temporary answers described in Privacy Policy §3.6, solely to ask the questions and write that one starter, under the zero-data-retention and no-training terms described there.

This licence lasts as long as your content is on Eventide and ends when you delete it or delete your account, except that it continues for: backup copies until they are overwritten in the ordinary course, and the records we are required or permitted to retain as described in §7 and §8 of our Privacy Policy and §10 below. Our backups expire within 30 days (Privacy Policy §7).

We do not use your photographs or your words to advertise or promote Eventide outside the app without asking you first. We do not use your content to train machine-learning models. Using a language model to provide the optional feature in §4 is processing to answer that specific request. It gives no permission to train on your content, and the providers we use for it are bound not to train on it either (Privacy Policy §3.6).

You promise that you have the right to post what you post, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

8. Safety

EVENTIDE DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SCREENINGS ON ITS MEMBERS.

We do not check identity documents, and we do no screening beyond what §4 describes: the liveness check at signup, which is how we check that a new member is a real person and the person in their photographs, the review of every profile against our standard of modesty and appropriateness, and, for hosts, a person's comparison of each host's face check with their photo ID, and our reading of each event before it is listed. We run no criminal background check on hosts either. A badge, a passed check or an approved profile means we checked something. It does not confirm who anyone is or guarantee anyone's character, intentions, marital status or safety.

You are meeting strangers, and you are solely responsible for your interactions with other members, online and offline. We are not responsible for the conduct of any member. Please read our safety page at https://eventidedating.com/safety before your first meeting. It includes the safety-awareness information several states require us to give you. Never send money or financial information to someone you met on Eventide, whatever reason they give.

9. Eventide Premium

Eventide is free to use: a full profile, your daily introductions, unlimited likes within them, matching and messaging cost nothing. We do not show advertisements.

Eventide Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription, sold in one-month, three-month and six-month terms at the prices shown in the app before you confirm the purchase.

If a jurisdiction gives you a statutory right to cancel a dating-service contract within a set period, or to a refund, that right applies regardless of anything in this section. §15 sets out the ones we know apply.

10. Ending your account

You may delete your account at any time, from inside the app: Profile ▸ settings ▸ Delete account. Deletion is immediate: your profile disappears from Eventide at once, and we erase your data as described in our Privacy Policy §8.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, including the standard of modesty and appropriateness in §5, if we believe you present a risk to another member, or if we are required to. Where we can, we will tell you why.

If your account is terminated for breaching these Terms, you are not entitled to a refund of any unused subscription period, except where the law requires one, including the state rights in §15, which survive this section.

11. Intellectual property

Eventide's name, logo, design, software and the prompt bank are ours. These Terms give you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the app as an ordinary member. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell or create derivative works from it, except where law permits it regardless of these Terms.

We respect copyright and expect members to. Our Copyright (DMCA) Policy at https://eventidedating.com/copyright is part of these Terms: it explains how to send a takedown notice to our designated agent, how counter-notice works, and our policy of terminating repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

12. Data and privacy

How we collect, use and keep your information is set out in our Privacy Policy at https://eventidedating.com/privacy, which forms part of these Terms.

We also make three commitments here:

13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Eventide is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that you will find a match, that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any member is who they say they are.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to Eventide, including the conduct of members, online or offline, and the conduct of the hosts and organisers of events listed in Experience, or anything that happens at those events, in those homes or on those trips. Our total liability for all claims relating to Eventide is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or USD 100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these exclusions or limits, and in those places they apply only to the extent permitted. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.

14. If we have a dispute

Talk to us first. Before either of us starts arbitration or a lawsuit, the one with the claim must send the other a written notice describing the claim and what would resolve it (to us at support@eventidedating.com, and to you at your account email), and both of us must then try in good faith to resolve it for 60 days.

Small claims. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in your county (or our home county) instead of arbitration, and that court's decision is final as any small-claims judgment is.

Arbitration, individually. Any other dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or Eventide is resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA's consumer fee schedule applies, and we will pay the filing, administration and arbitrator fees those rules assign to us. The arbitration is held in your county by videoconference or on documents unless you and we agree otherwise, and the arbitrator can award whatever an individual court action could. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

No class actions. You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated or representative action, in court or in arbitration. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court, and the rest of this section still applies to everything else.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class waiver entirely, with no effect on anything else in these Terms, by emailing support@eventidedating.com with "Arbitration opt-out" and the email address on your account within 30 days of first creating your account (or, for existing members, within 30 days of these Terms first taking effect for you).

If many claims arrive at once. If 25 or more demands of a substantially similar nature are brought against us by the same or coordinated counsel, the AAA's rules and procedures for multiple case filings apply, and you and we will cooperate in good faith on a batching or bellwether process so the claims can be resolved efficiently; statutes of limitation are tolled while a claim waits in that process.

Carve-outs. Either of us may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or to stop harassment, stalking, or a threat to a person's safety, without first arbitrating.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs §14. If the arbitration agreement does not apply to a dispute, that dispute belongs to the state or federal courts located in Hamilton County, Tennessee, and both of us consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in this paragraph takes away a consumer protection your own state's law gives you.

15. State-specific rights and notices

Several states regulate dating-service contracts, and their rules differ. We apply the strongest of them to every member as our own terms, and then list what particular states additionally require. Where a state's law gives you more than this section says, the state's law applies.

For every member, in every state, as our own terms:

What particular states require us to tell you:

16. Apple

Because you received Eventide through Apple's App Store, Apple requires us to state the following:

17. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of what you did on Eventide (content you posted, your conduct toward another member or toward the hosts or organiser of an event you went to through Experience, or your breach of these Terms or of the law), you agree to indemnify us, which means covering the losses, and the reasonable legal costs, that claim causes us. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and will not settle it in your name without your agreement. This section does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own breach of these Terms or our own unlawful conduct, and it does not apply where the law does not allow it.

18. General provisions

19. Changes, and how to reach us

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and continuing to use Eventide after that date means you accept the change. A material change to §14 (disputes), however, restarts your 30-day opt-out window. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
