Rive Network · Effective date: January 1, 2026

1. About Rive

Rive Network (“Rive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a private, invite-only dating network that provides curated introductions between members. Rive Network is operated by Touloun Enterprises LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. By accessing or using Rive, including our website at joinrive.com (“Site”) and our services (“Services”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”).

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.

2. Eligibility

To apply for membership, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Be legally able to enter into binding contracts
  • Not be prohibited from using our Services under applicable law
  • Not have been previously removed from Rive for violation of these Terms
  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information in your application

We reserve the sole right to accept or decline any application for membership.

3. Application and Membership

Application. Applying for Rive does not guarantee acceptance. Each application is reviewed by our team. If you are accepted, you will be invited to complete onboarding.

Onboarding. To activate membership, accepted applicants must complete a questionnaire, set up their profile, complete payment, and verify their identity through our third-party identity verification provider.

Membership. Members receive up to two curated introductions per month, delivered by email. Introductions are made by our team based on member profiles, preferences, and other factors. We make no guarantee of compatibility, chemistry, or relationship outcomes.

Fees. Membership is billed monthly at the published rate. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. Prices may change with notice.

Merchant of Record. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Your purchase is also subject to Paddle’s Buyer Terms, which govern payment, billing, tax, cancellation, and refund mechanics.

Extension policy. If we do not send you an introduction in a given billing cycle, your membership will be extended by one billing cycle at no additional cost.

4. Member Conduct and Personal Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your own conduct and safety when using Rive and when interacting with any person you meet through our Services.

By using Rive, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate information in your application and profile
  • Treat other members with respect, honesty, and discretion
  • Keep introductions and shared contact information confidential
  • Not use Rive for any unlawful purpose
  • Not harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm any other member
  • Not solicit money, business opportunities, or services from other members
  • Not impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity, age, or marital status
  • Not share another member’s photos, contact information, or personal details with third parties
  • Not attempt to contact another member outside of our introduction process without mutual consent
  • Exercise your own judgment and caution when meeting any member in person
  • Take personal responsibility for your own safety, including meeting in public places and informing others of your plans

Violation of these conduct standards may result in immediate termination of your membership without refund.

You acknowledge and agree that Rive does not control, cannot verify, and is not responsible for the actions, statements, conduct, or behavior of any member, whether online or offline. You interact with other members at your own risk.

5. Profile and Content

You retain ownership of the photos, text, and information you submit to Rive (“Your Content”).

You grant Rive a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use Your Content for the purpose of operating our Services — including displaying your profile to matched members, reviewing applications, and curating introductions.

You represent and warrant that:

  • You have the right to submit Your Content
  • Your Content is accurate and not misleading
  • Your Content does not infringe on the rights of any third party
  • Your Content does not contain illegal, defamatory, or harmful material

Rive may remove or modify any content that violates these Terms at our sole discretion.

6. Identity Verification

All members must complete identity verification before joining the network. This is conducted by a third-party verification provider (Stripe Identity). We do not store copies of your government-issued identification. Verification results (pass/fail) are retained by Rive.

By completing identity verification, you consent to the collection and processing of biometric data (including a facial image) by our verification provider for the sole purpose of confirming your identity.

Identity verification confirms identity only. It does not include criminal background checks, employment verification, relationship status verification, or any other form of screening. Rive makes no representation that any member is safe, trustworthy, or suitable to meet in person.

7. Introductions

How introductions work. Our team selects potential matches based on member information. When an introduction is sent, both members receive an email with a brief note and can indicate interest through the Rive platform.

Mutual interest. If both members indicate interest, contact information is shared. Any communication, meeting, or relationship that follows is entirely between the two members — Rive has no ongoing involvement, control, or responsibility.

No guarantee.We do not guarantee compatibility, chemistry, romantic interest, successful meetings, or any specific outcome from introductions. Introductions are based solely on our team’s judgment and information provided by members, which we cannot independently verify beyond identity.

8. Payment, Cancellation, and Refunds

Payment. Membership fees are billed monthly in advance. Payments are processed by our Merchant of Record, Paddle.com, who handles billing, tax, and invoicing.

Cancellation. You may cancel your membership at any time from your member dashboard or by contacting us. Upon cancellation, your membership will remain active through the end of the current billing cycle, after which it will not renew.

Refunds. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your initial membership purchase. Refund requests are handled directly by our Merchant of Record, Paddle. To request a refund, visit paddle.net or contact us at hello@joinrive.com.

Price changes.We may change membership pricing with at least 30 days’ notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing cycle.

9. Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. Our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Rive to:

  • Solicit, engage in, or facilitate commercial transactions with other members

  • You violate these Terms
  • You are reported for misconduct by another member and we determine the report is credible
  • Your application contained false information

  • We decide, in our sole discretion, that continued membership is not consistent with the standards of our community

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
