Terms of Service

Effective: July 2026 Version 1.0 Match Marvel Private Limited
By using SoulVi, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully. For privacy questions, see our Privacy Policy.

1 Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the SoulVi mobile application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Match Marvel Private Limited ("SoulVi", "we", "us", "our").

Address: S NO. 36/01/A/B/6, RAM NAGAR, Mhasawad (Nandurbar), Shahada, Nandurbar- 425432, Maharashtra, India
Website: https://soulvi.matchmarvel.com/
Email: admin@matchmarvel.com

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act 2000, Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act), Consumer Protection Act 2019, and Indian Contract Act 1872.

2 Who We Are

SoulVi is a dating and social community platform built exclusively for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We exist to provide a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for queer people across India and beyond to meet, connect, and build meaningful relationships.

We are committed to protecting your identity, your safety, and your dignity — always.

3 Eligibility

3.1 Age Requirement

⚠️ You must be at least 18 years old to use SoulVi. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 or older.

This requirement exists because the DPDP Act 2023 defines persons under 18 as children and imposes strict parental consent requirements — and because dating services require adult users under App Store and Google Play policies.

3.2 Legal Capacity

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding contract under Indian law.

3.3 Not Previously Banned

You must not have been previously suspended or permanently banned from SoulVi for a violation of these Terms.

4 Account Registration

4.1 Creating Your Account

You register using your mobile phone number. You are responsible for keeping your OTP confidential and not sharing it with anyone.

4.2 Accurate Information

You agree to provide truthful, accurate, and up-to-date information during registration and onboarding. Impersonating another person or creating a fake identity is a violation of these Terms and may be illegal.

4.3 One Account Per Person

You may only hold one active account. Creating multiple accounts to evade a ban, manipulate features, or deceive other users is prohibited.

4.4 Account Security

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorised access, contact us immediately at admin@matchmarvel.com.

5 Our Community — Safe Space Commitment

SoulVi is built for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Every user agrees to uphold the safety, dignity, and authenticity of this space.
