Terms and Conditions

Last updated 9 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and DateTomic when you use our app. Please read them, along with our Privacy Policy, before you sign up. By creating an account, you agree to them.

The short version

  • You must be 18 or over, verify your age, and use your real details.
  • Be respectful. Harassment, fake profiles, explicit content and scams are not allowed and will get you removed.
  • We verify ages but do not run background checks. Take sensible precautions when you meet people.
  • You can report or block anyone, and you can ask us to review any decision we make about your account.
  • DateTomic is free to use at the moment. If we introduce paid features, you will buy them through the App Store or Google Play.

1. About these terms

DateTomic is run by Dateworks Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17493379), whose registered office is Edge House Cottage, Macclesfield Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 4UD. In these terms, "DateTomic", "we", "us" and "our" mean Dateworks Ltd, and "you" means you as a user of the app.

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, apply to your use of the DateTomic app and any related services. If you do not agree with them, please do not use DateTomic.

2. Who can use DateTomic

To use DateTomic, you must:

  • be at least 18 years old
  • be able to enter into a legally binding contract
  • live in the United Kingdom
  • not have been convicted of a sexual offence or a violent offence, and not be subject to any court order or legal requirement that stops you using a dating service or contacting people you meet through one
  • not have been removed from DateTomic before, unless we have agreed in writing that you can return
  • have only one account

We are launching in Manchester first. While we do, access is limited by location. You can still create an account from anywhere in the UK, but you will only be able to use DateTomic once it is live in your area.

3. Verifying your age

Before you can use DateTomic, you must complete an age check through our third-party age verification provider, using facial age estimation or an identity document check. We may ask you to verify your age or identity again at any time, for example if another user reports you or something looks wrong. If you do not complete a check when asked, or if we reasonably believe you are under 18 or have given us false information, we may suspend or close your account.

4. Your account

You can sign up with your email address, using a one-time code we email you each time you sign in, or with Apple or Google. We do not use passwords. You must give us accurate information about yourself and keep it up to date, including your photos. You are responsible for keeping access to your email account and your device secure, for never sharing a sign-in code, and for everything that happens on your account. Tell us straight away at hello@datetomic.com if you think someone else has used it.

5. Community rules

DateTomic only works if everyone feels safe and respected. You must not:

  • use the app if you are under 18, or help anyone under 18 to use it
  • create a fake profile, impersonate anyone, use photos of someone else, or misrepresent your age, identity or relationship status
  • harass, threaten, bully, abuse, stalk or intimidate anyone, on or off the app
  • post or send hateful content, or content that discriminates against anyone because of their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or any other characteristic
  • send sexually explicit content, nude images, or any unwanted sexual content
  • ask other users for money or financial details, or use DateTomic for scams, romance fraud, advertising, selling or recruiting
  • share another user's personal information, photos or messages without their consent
  • post anything illegal, violent or that promotes self-harm
  • use bots, scrape the app, try to get around our security, or interfere with how the app works
  • sell or transfer your account or profile
  • create a new account after we have suspended or removed you

6. Your content

You own the photos, text and messages you add to DateTomic. By adding them, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, UK-wide licence to host, store, display and process them so we can run the app and keep it safe. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where we need to keep it for the reasons in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the right to share it, and that it follows these terms. We screen profile photos and text using automated tools with human review, and we may refuse, blur or remove any content that breaks these terms.

If you believe content on DateTomic infringes your copyright, please email hello@datetomic.com with details of the content and your rights in it.

7. Your safety

DateTomic helps you meet new people, including in person to play padel. We verify that users are adults, but we do not carry out criminal record or background checks, and we cannot guarantee that what other users say about themselves is true.

You are responsible for your own interactions with other users, online and in person. Please take sensible precautions:

  • get to know someone in the app before you meet
  • meet in a public place, such as a padel club
  • tell a friend where you are going and who you are meeting
  • arrange your own travel
  • never send money or financial details to someone you have met through the app

If you ever feel unsafe, leave and contact the police on 999 if you are in danger, then report the user to us.

8. Reporting, moderation and appeals

You can block or report any user from their profile or from your conversation with them. When you report someone, you can attach specific messages as evidence, and our moderators will see only the messages you attach.

If we believe someone has broken these terms or put another user at risk, we may warn them, restrict their account, suspend them or remove them permanently, and we may stop them creating a new account. We will usually tell you if we take action against your account and why, unless doing so would put someone at risk or break the law.

If you disagree with a decision about your content or your account, you can ask us to review it by emailing hello@datetomic.com within 30 days. A different member of our team will look at it and we will tell you the outcome.

9. Double dates and padel games

DateTomic lets two matched users each bring a friend for a double date and a game of padel. Everyone who joins a double date through the app must have their own DateTomic account and follow these terms.

We do not run padel clubs or courts. If you book a court or use a club's facilities, you do so with that club, on its terms. Padel is a physical sport and you take part at your own risk. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility where the law does not allow us to (see section 13).

10. Paid features

DateTomic is free to use at the moment. If we introduce paid features or subscriptions, this section will apply to them.

  • You will buy them through the Apple App Store or Google Play, in pounds sterling. Apple or Google will take payment and their terms will also apply.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period you choose until you cancel. We will show the price and renewal period before you buy.
  • You can cancel at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings or in Google Play. Your subscription continues until the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription on its own.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. This does not affect your legal rights.
  • We will tell you in advance if we change our prices, and any change will apply from your next renewal.

11. Our app and changes to it

We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the DateTomic app on your own devices for your own personal, non-commercial use. The DateTomic name, logo, design and content (other than your content) belong to us or our licensors.

We are always working on DateTomic, so features may change. We will try to keep the app available, but we cannot promise it will always work without interruption. We may need to suspend it for maintenance, security or reasons outside our control. The app may link to other websites and services, such as padel clubs, which we do not control and are not responsible for.

12. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app's settings. We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if we are required to by law, or if we stop providing DateTomic. If we close your account for a reason other than you breaking these terms, we will give you reasonable notice where we can. What happens to your information when your account ends is explained in our Privacy Policy.

13. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

Subject to that, we are not responsible for:

  • the conduct of any user, on or off the app, or anything that happens when you meet someone in person
  • losses that were not foreseeable when you accepted these terms
  • business losses, as DateTomic is for personal use only
  • problems caused by events outside our reasonable control

Our total liability to you for any claim connected with DateTomic is limited to the greater of £100 and the amount you have paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

14. Complaints and disputes

If you have a complaint, please email hello@datetomic.com and we will try to resolve it quickly. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You can bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales, or, if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts where you live.

15. Other important terms

  • Changes to these terms: we may update these terms, for example to reflect changes to the app or the law. We will tell you about important changes before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can delete your account.
  • Transferring this agreement: we may transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation, for example if DateTomic is sold. We will make sure your rights are not reduced. You may not transfer your account.
  • If part of these terms is invalid: the rest will still apply.
  • If we do not enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later.
  • Nobody else has rights under these terms, except as set out in them.
