2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and if we learn that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account immediately.

2.2 Eligibility Requirements

To use Tango, you must:

Verification is currently limited to Texas A&M University students using a valid @tamu.edu email address, with planned expansion to other accredited institutions. Verification is based solely on confirming control of your student email address; we do not collect or verify student ID cards or other identity documents. You must complete email verification before accessing the matching features of the Service. Failure to maintain a valid student email address may result in account suspension or termination.

3. Description of Service

3.1 Overview of Tango

Tango is a dating platform designed to facilitate real-world connections among college students. Tango is currently available only to Texas A&M University students in College Station, Texas, and we plan to expand to other accredited institutions over time. Unlike traditional dating apps that encourage endless swiping, Tango uses a curated batch matching system and automated date logistics to help users go on actual dates. Tango also offers a Couples mode and optional social features, described below.

3.2 Key Features

3.2.1 Curated Batch Matching

Every few days, you will receive exactly three (3) curated profile recommendations based on compatibility factors including your preferences, interests, availability, and selected dating venues. You have a 48-hour window to review these profiles and select your "Optimal Pick"—the person you would most like to meet.

3.2.2 Mutual Matching

A match occurs only when both users select each other as their Optimal Pick within their respective batches. Tango does not facilitate one-sided connections; both parties must express mutual interest.

3.2.3 Automated Date Logistics

Upon mutual matching, Tango automatically generates a complete date itinerary, including:

• Date and time based on both users' indicated availability
• Venue selection from locations both users have marked as preferred dating spots
• Venue address and directions
• In-app date reminders and notifications
• Weather forecast for the scheduled date

3.2.4 Partner Venues

Tango partners with local venues and directs matched users to them for their dates. Your date itinerary identifies the selected venue along with its address and directions. You are responsible for making or confirming any reservation directly with the venue where one is required, for attending your date, and for following the venue's policies. Tango does not guarantee table availability and does not make reservations on your behalf.

3.2.5 Date Monitoring and Safety Features

Tango provides safety features including pre-date check-ins, active monitoring during scheduled date windows, and post-date follow-ups. You may also use Safety Share to share your live location with a private friend group you choose during a date, and trigger an SOS alert to that group if you feel unsafe. Our support team is available to address safety concerns, facilitate rescheduling, or assist with any issues.

3.2.6 Couples Mode

Tango offers a Couples mode for two people in a relationship. Partners link their accounts using a private invite code to create a shared couple profile. Couples can save preferred date locations, plan date nights, keep shared couple memories and journal entries (including photos), and play in-app date-night games together. Each partner must independently meet the eligibility requirements in Section 2.

3.2.7 Friends, Circles, and Group Features

Tango includes optional social features that let you connect with friends, form friend circles or groups, exchange group messages, and share an activity feed. You can invite friends using in-app links or QR codes, and you may choose to find friends already on Tango. When you use friend-finding, contact information from your device is matched using irreversible cryptographic hashes as described in our Privacy Policy (Section 6); we do not upload your raw contacts.

3.2.8 Profile Enrichment

You may optionally enhance your profile with a recorded voice introduction and by connecting third-party services such as Spotify, Apple Music, or Instagram to display your music taste or social handle. Connecting these services is voluntary, and you can disconnect them at any time.

3.3 No Guarantee of Matches or Outcomes

While Tango uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to curate compatible matches, we do not guarantee that you will receive matches, go on dates, or develop romantic relationships through the Service. The matching process depends on numerous factors including user preferences, availability, geographic proximity, and mutual selection. Tango makes no representations or warranties regarding the compatibility, intentions, character, or suitability of any user you may meet through the Service.

3.4 Service Availability

We strive to provide continuous access to the Service, but we do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or without interruption. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without notice. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

3.5 Geographic Limitations

Tango is currently available only to verified Texas A&M University students, primarily in the College Station, Texas area. We reserve the right to expand to additional institutions or geographic areas, or to restrict access based on location, at our sole discretion.
