\nVersion 3.4 | Effective Date: March 27, 2026 HoopFrog™ is a brand of HoopFrog® Inc.
\nWelcome to HoopFrog. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the HoopFrog platform, including our website, mobile applications, and all related services (collectively, the "Service" or "Platform"), operated by HoopFrog Inc., a federally incorporated Canadian corporation (Federal Corporation No. 1467452-9, Alberta Registration CAN 2126911664).
\nBy creating an account or clicking "Sign Up," "Join," "Create Account," or similar, or by otherwise accessing or using the Service, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with HoopFrog Inc. You acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
\nPlease carefully review the dispute resolution provisions in Section 13 of these Terms. This section affects how disputes are resolved, including requiring individual arbitration for most disputes and waiving your right to participate in class actions, except in specific circumstances.
\nA summary box appears at the start of each section to help you understand the key points. The summaries do not replace the full text, which is the legally binding agreement.
\n\n1. Acceptance of Terms

\nWe may update these Terms from time to time, as allowed by applicable laws. If we make any material changes, we will clearly post the new version with an updated effective date and will notify you via in-app notification at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and delete your account before the effective date of the new Terms.
\nYou are responsible for reviewing these Terms regularly so you stay informed. The most current version will always be available at /legal/terms.

\nIf we become aware that a user is under the age of majority, we will immediately terminate their account and delete any personal data associated with that user, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including but not limited to Canada's PIPEDA, Québec's Law 25, the GDPR (for users in the European Economic Area), COPPA (for U.S. users), and equivalent international privacy laws.

HoopFrog reserves the right to report any violation to law enforcement where applicable.
\n6. Content Ownership and Licence
\nSummary: You own your content. By posting it, you give us permission to display and operate it within the Service. You can view other users' content but cannot misuse it outside HoopFrog.
\nYour Content
\nYou retain full ownership of all content you create and share on HoopFrog ("Your Content"), including photos, text, voice messages, and profile information. However, by posting or transmitting Your Content through the Service, you grant HoopFrog Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable licence to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display purposes only), and distribute Your Content solely in connection with operating, developing, providing, and improving the Service.
\nThis licence terminates when you delete Your Content or your account, except where your content has been shared with other users and they have not deleted it, or where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.
\nTo the extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any moral rights you may have in Your Content for the purposes of our use as outlined herein.
\nYou represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide Your Content, including, without limitation, obtaining any required third-party permissions in respect of personal information or intellectual property rights contained therein. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all Your Content you post, and that Your Content does not violate the rights of any third party, including without limitation any claims that Your Content breaches the intellectual property rights of a third party, violates applicable law, or contravenes HoopFrog's Terms and other policies. You are solely responsible for Your Content.
\nYou understand that once you post content on HoopFrog, it may be seen by other users. Do not post anything you are not comfortable being widely shared. Even if we have rules against misuse, we cannot guarantee that other users will not copy or re-share Your Content.
\nMember Content (Other Users' Content)

\n8. Platform Features, Anti-Ghosting, Message Scanning, Opening Moves
\nSummary: HoopFrog includes automated systems designed to promote respectful engagement. This section explains what those systems do and do not do.
\nAnti-Ghosting Nudge System
\nHoopFrog employs an automated anti-ghosting nudge system that may send courtesy reminders to users who have not responded to messages within a configurable window. These nudges are designed to encourage genuine engagement and respectful communication. By using the Service, you consent to receiving these automated courtesy reminders. You may adjust or disable nudge settings in your account settings. The anti-ghosting system does not monitor the content of your messages; it only tracks response timing at the conversation level.
\nAutomated Message Scanning
\nTo maintain a safe community, HoopFrog employs automated content moderation technology that scans messages for patterns associated with prohibited conduct, including (without limitation): scam solicitation, financial fraud, harassment, hate speech, explicit content, and threats. This scanning is performed by automated systems and is subject to human review where warranted. You consent to this automated processing as a condition of using the messaging features of the Service.
\nFlagged messages may be reviewed by our trust and safety team and may result in warnings, content removal, account suspension, or termination, and may be reported to law enforcement if required by law. The message scanning system does not retain flagged content beyond what is necessary for safety review and legal compliance. Message scanning is consistent with our obligations under applicable Canadian law including CASL (the Canada Anti-Spam Legislation).
\nOpening Moves (Ice-Breaker Feature)
\nOpening Moves is an optional feature that allows you to set a standing ice-breaker question or prompt visible to other users before a conversation begins. By setting an Opening Move, you consent to that prompt being displayed to other users who view your profile. Opening Moves must comply with the Prohibited Content rules in Section 5. We reserve the right to remove any Opening Move that violates our community standards.
\n9. Incognito Mode (VIP Feature)
\nSummary: Incognito Mode is a VIP-tier feature that limits your visibility. It is a best-efforts privacy control, not a guarantee of complete anonymity.
\nIncognito Mode is available exclusively to Season/VIP tier subscribers. When Incognito Mode is enabled:
\n- \n
- Your profile will not appear in general discovery feeds or search results for users you have not already matched with or messaged \n
- Your active status indicators ("online now", "last seen") will be suppressed from users outside your existing connections \n
- Typing indicators and read receipts will not be sent to users outside your existing connections \n
Incognito Mode does not:
\n- \n
- Make you completely invisible, users you have previously matched, messaged, or interacted with may still see elements of your profile \n
- Delete your data or remove your account from our database \n
- Prevent HoopFrog staff or automated systems from accessing your account for safety, moderation, or legal compliance purposes \n
- Guarantee that a profile you have interacted with will be unable to identify you \n
- Apply to any content you have already shared or messages you have already sent \n
Incognito Mode is provided as a best-efforts privacy enhancement. HoopFrog Inc. makes no warranty that Incognito Mode will function perfectly under all circumstances, and we disclaim all liability for any failure of the feature to perform as described, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
\n9b. Voice and Video Calling (VIP Feature)
\nSummary: VIP users can make one-on-one voice and video calls. Calls start as audio-only with optional video. Recording is prohibited. Standard conduct rules apply.
\nVoice and video calling is available exclusively to VIP tier subscribers for one-on-one conversations with mutual connections. Calls begin as audio-only; either participant may optionally enable their camera during the call. By using the calling feature, you agree to:
\n- \n
- Not record, capture, screenshot, or otherwise reproduce any voice or video call without the explicit, prior consent of the other participant \n
- Conduct yourself respectfully and in accordance with the User Conduct rules in Section 4 \n
- Not expose yourself, engage in sexual conduct, or display prohibited content (as defined in Section 5) during a call \n
- Not use voice or video calling for commercial purposes, solicitation, or harassment \n
Calls are facilitated through WebRTC technology using encrypted peer-to-peer connections where possible, with TURN relay servers for connectivity. Audio uses echo cancellation, noise suppression, and automatic gain control. HoopFrog does not record, monitor, or store the audio or video content of your calls. Call metadata (time, duration, participants) may be logged for safety and abuse prevention purposes.
\nViolations of calling conduct rules may result in immediate suspension of calling privileges and/or account termination.
\n10. Age Verification
\nSummary: We use VerifyMy for third-party age and identity verification. This is mandatory for certain features and jurisdictions.
\nHoopFrog employs multi-layered age verification to prevent underage access to the Service. This includes:
\n- \n
- Registration gate: Date-of-birth confirmation at account creation \n
- Third-party verification: Integration with VerifyMy, a regulated identity verification provider, for enhanced age and identity checks where required by law or platform policy \n
You consent to the collection and processing of identity information by VerifyMy in accordance with VerifyMy's own privacy policy and applicable law. HoopFrog receives only the result of the verification (pass/fail and age-band confirmation) and does not store your government-issued identity documents on our servers. We retain only a verification status flag and an anonymised reference token issued by VerifyMy for audit and compliance purposes; this token cannot be used by HoopFrog or any third party to reconstruct your identity documents. VerifyMy's retention and deletion of your identity data is governed by VerifyMy's privacy policy, available at verifymy.io/privacy-policy.
\nAge verification may be required before accessing certain features. Failure to complete required verification may result in restricted access or account suspension. Providing false information during age verification is a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination and referral to law enforcement.
\nOur age verification obligations are consistent with the requirements of the Online Safety Act 2023 (UK), applicable Canadian provincial laws, and best-practice standards for adult platforms. See also our Child Safety Policy.
\n10b. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
\nSummary: We offer optional SMS-based two-factor authentication. You may need to provide a phone number for security features.
\nHoopFrog offers optional two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance your account security. Two methods are available:
\n- \n
- SMS Verification: A one-time code is sent to your mobile phone via SMS each time you log in from an untrusted device. You will be asked to provide a mobile phone number capable of receiving SMS messages. \n
- Authenticator App (TOTP): You may link an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password) by scanning a QR code. The app generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for login verification. \n
When 2FA is enabled, you may designate a device as “trusted” for up to 30 days to reduce verification frequency.
\nFor SMS 2FA, your phone number is encrypted at rest and is used solely for security verification purposes. Standard SMS messaging rates from your carrier may apply. We do not use your phone number for marketing, and it is not visible to other users. For TOTP 2FA, the shared secret is stored encrypted on our servers and is never transmitted after initial setup.
\nWe may require 2FA for certain sensitive account actions, such as changing your email address or password. HoopFrog reserves the right to make 2FA mandatory for all accounts in the future, with reasonable notice.
\n10c. SMS Messaging Terms
\nSummary: By providing your phone number, you consent to receive automated transactional SMS for verification and security. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.
\nBy providing your mobile phone number during account registration, enabling SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA), or requesting identity verification via SMS, you expressly consent to receive automated transactional SMS text messages from HoopFrog Inc. (doing business as HoopFrog) at the phone number you provide.
\nMessage Types
\nYou may receive the following types of SMS messages, all of which are transactional and user-initiated:
\n- \n
- Phone verification codes during account registration \n
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) codes when logging in from an untrusted device \n
- Identity verification codes when submitting a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) or privacy rights request \n
We do not send marketing, promotional, or recurring campaign messages via SMS.
\nMessage Frequency
\nMessage frequency varies based on your usage. Typically 1 message per registration, 1–5 messages per month for 2FA logins, and rarely for DSAR verification.
\nMessage and Data Rates
\nMessage and data rates may apply. Standard messaging rates from your mobile carrier apply to all SMS messages. HoopFrog Inc. does not charge any fees for sending SMS verification codes. Contact your carrier for details about your messaging plan.
\nOpt-Out
\nYou may opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by:
\n- \n
- Replying STOP to any message from +1 (587) 805-1506 \n
- Disabling SMS 2FA in your account settings (Settings > Security > Two-Factor Authentication) \n
- Contacting support@hoopfrog.com \n
If you opt out, you will no longer be able to use SMS-based verification or 2FA. You may switch to authenticator app (TOTP) based 2FA as an alternative. For help, reply HELP to any message or contact support@hoopfrog.com.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users.

\nWe take reports seriously. If we find that a user has violated these Terms or behaved inappropriately, we may take a range of actions including removing content, issuing warnings, suspending or terminating accounts, notifying law enforcement, and sharing information with affiliated services where legally permitted to prevent cross-platform harm. We are not obligated to disclose to you the outcome of any report.

\n13. Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
\nSummary: Most disputes must first go through informal negotiation, then binding individual arbitration. Class actions are waived. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days. Read this section carefully, it affects your legal rights.
\nPlease read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court or have a jury decide your case.
\n13a. Informal Resolution
\nBefore filing any claim against HoopFrog, you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice to us at legal@hoopfrog.com or by mail to: HoopFrog Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 3-11 Bellerose Drive, Suite 312, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada T8N 5C9. In your notice, provide your name, contact information, and a description of the nature of your dispute and the relief you seek. You and HoopFrog agree to negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days from the date notice is received before commencing arbitration.
\n13b. Binding Arbitration
\nIf informal resolution fails, you and HoopFrog Inc. agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service will be settled by binding arbitration, except as provided in Section 13c below and except where prohibited by applicable law.
\nThis arbitration agreement applies to claims arising before or after these Terms took effect, and claims against HoopFrog Inc.'s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents.
\nThis section is subject to non-waivable statutory rights in jurisdictions such as Québec, the EU, the UK, and other regions with mandatory consumer protections. If you reside in a jurisdiction that prohibits mandatory arbitration or class-action waivers for consumer contracts, those provisions do not apply to you to the extent prohibited by local law.
\n13c. Exceptions to Arbitration
\nThe following types of disputes are not subject to binding arbitration:
\n- \n
- Small claims court proceedings (where eligible) \n
- Claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring in connection with use of the Service (governed by applicable law) \n
- Applications for emergency injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent irreparable harm \n
- Disputes where applicable law expressly prohibits arbitration \n
13d. Class Action Waiver
\nTo the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, the arbitration provision in Section 13b shall be null and void as to that dispute.
\n13e. Opt-Out
\nYou may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of this Section 13 by sending written notice to legal@hoopfrog.com within 30 days of the date you first agreed to these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name, account email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect your right to use the Service.
\n14. Governing Law
\nThese Terms and any dispute between you and HoopFrog Inc. are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles, unless your local law provides stronger consumer protections, in which case those protections shall apply.
\nFor residents of Québec, these Terms are subject to the Civil Code of Québec and the Consumer Protection Act (Québec). A French version of these Terms will be made available upon request in accordance with the Charter of the French Language.
\nFor EU and UK users: this choice of Alberta law does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protection rights granted by the laws of your home jurisdiction. Those provisions shall continue to apply in your favour.
\nFor U.S. users: the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement in Section 13.
\nThe application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. HoopFrog makes no representation that the Services comply with the laws of every jurisdiction. If you access the Services from outside Canada, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local laws.
\n15. Venue (For Court Proceedings)
\nSubject to the arbitration agreement in Section 13 and any exceptions stated therein, all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought exclusively in the courts of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Alberta, Canada, sitting in the city of Edmonton. Both parties equally consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection based on inconvenience of forum or other jurisdictional defences, except where your local law grants you non-waivable rights to bring actions in your own jurisdiction.
\nFor users residing in Canada outside Alberta, venue selection shall not override any mandatory jurisdiction rights under local consumer protection laws which may come into effect from time to time.
\nThis clause does not override mandatory local jurisdictional rights under consumer protection laws, including those applicable in Québec, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.
\n16. Third-Party Services and Events
\nSummary: HoopFrog integrates with third-party services. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms. Event participation is voluntary and at your own risk.
\nThird-Party Services
\nThe Service may integrate with or contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services, including payment processors, analytics providers, identity verification services (VerifyMy), mapping providers, and social sign-in providers (Apple, Google). These third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content, practices, or availability. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.
\nBlog and Informational Content
\nHoopFrog may publish blog posts, articles, guides, tips, and other informational content (“Blog Content”) on the Service. Blog Content is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to legal, medical, psychological, financial, or relationship counselling advice.
\nYou should not rely on Blog Content as a substitute for professional advice. Any actions you take based on Blog Content are at your own risk. HoopFrog Inc. makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any Blog Content. Blog Content may include opinions of individual authors that do not necessarily reflect the views of HoopFrog Inc.

We reserve the right to edit, remove, or decline to publish any Blog Content at our sole discretion.
\n\nEvents
\nFrom time to time, HoopFrog may offer, promote, support, or be publicly associated with events, meetups, or activities ("Events") as part of the Service. Events fall into two categories:
\n- \n
- HoopFrog-Organized Events: Events planned, coordinated, and hosted directly by HoopFrog Inc. or its representatives. HoopFrog assumes organizational responsibility for these Events but does not guarantee the safety, conduct, or behaviour of attendees. \n
- Third-Party and Community Events: Events organized by users, community members, or third-party organizations that are promoted, listed, or advertised through the Service. HoopFrog's role is limited to providing a platform for the listing or promotion of these Events. HoopFrog does not organize, supervise, endorse, or assume any responsibility for third-party or community Events, including their planning, safety, conduct, or outcomes. \n
Participation in any Event is entirely voluntary and at your own risk. HoopFrog Inc. does not carry event-specific liability insurance, and no Event listing or promotion should be construed as an assumption of liability by HoopFrog.
\nBy attending any Event, you acknowledge and agree that:
\n- \n
- You voluntarily assume all risks associated with participating in any Event, including but not limited to physical injury, illness, property damage, theft, or loss \n
- HoopFrog does not vet or guarantee the conduct of other participants, organisers, vendors, or venue owners and operators \n
- To the extent permitted by applicable law, you release, waive, and forever discharge the HoopFrog Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising out of or relating to your participation in any Event, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the HoopFrog Parties \n
- You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the HoopFrog Parties from any claims by third parties, including without limitation for property damage, personal injury, or death, arising from your conduct at or in connection with any Event \n
Sanctioned and Non-Sanctioned Events
\nEvents listed on the Service may be either sanctioned (officially organized or endorsed by HoopFrog Inc.) or non-sanctioned (organized by users, community members, or third parties and merely listed or promoted through the Service). Regardless of whether an Event is sanctioned or non-sanctioned:
\n- \n
- Attendance is entirely voluntary and at your own risk. HoopFrog Inc. does not guarantee the safety, quality, organization, legality, or suitability of any Event. \n
- HoopFrog Inc. is not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, or misconduct of any Event organizer, co-organizer, venue, vendor, sponsor, attendee, or any other person or entity connected with any Event. \n
- HoopFrog Inc. does not verify the identity, credentials, insurance status, or legal compliance of third-party Event organizers or venues. \n
- The listing or promotion of any Event on the Service does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee, or assumption of liability by HoopFrog Inc. \n
Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability
\nBy attending or participating in any Event (whether sanctioned or non-sanctioned), you voluntarily assume all risks associated with such participation, including but not limited to:
\n- \n
- Physical injury, illness (including communicable diseases), emotional distress, or death \n
- Property damage, loss, or theft \n
- Exposure to the conduct or misconduct of other attendees, organizers, or third parties \n
- Travel to and from the Event venue \n
- Consumption of food, beverages, or other products at the Event \n
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue HoopFrog Inc., its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with your attendance at or participation in any Event, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Released Parties.
\n\nNo Refunds for Events
\nAll Event fees, tickets, and related charges are non-refundable, except where required by applicable consumer protection law. This applies to both sanctioned and non-sanctioned Events. If an Event is cancelled by HoopFrog Inc., we will use reasonable efforts to provide a credit toward a future Event or a refund at our sole discretion. If an Event is cancelled by a third-party organizer, any refund is the sole responsibility of that organizer, not HoopFrog Inc.
\nHoopFrog Inc. is not responsible for any costs you incur in connection with attending any Event, including but not limited to travel, accommodation, childcare, or lost wages, regardless of whether the Event is cancelled, postponed, or modified.
\n\nEvent Waiver Requirement
\nFor Events where you indicate that you are "going," you will be required to accept an Event Participation Waiver before your RSVP is confirmed. This waiver includes an assumption of risk, release of liability, indemnification agreement, and consent to photography and media capture at the Event. You must accept the waiver to confirm your attendance. If you do not agree to the waiver, you may mark yourself as "interested" instead, or decline to attend. HoopFrog reserves the right to require additional signed waivers at the door as a condition of entry to any Event.
\n\nIndemnification for Events
\nYou agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your conduct at or in connection with any Event; (b) any injury, damage, or loss caused by you to any person or property at any Event; or (c) any breach of these Terms or applicable law in connection with your attendance at any Event.
\n\nPlease refer to our Privacy Policy in respect of the provisions governing your attendance at any Events.
