3. Description of Service

3.1 Overview of Tango

Tango is a dating platform designed to facilitate real-world connections among college students. 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.

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
• Calendar invitation compatible with Google Calendar and other calendar applications
• Weather forecast for the scheduled date

3.2.4 Venue Reservations

Tango coordinates with partner venues to facilitate date reservations. When a match occurs and a date is scheduled, we may make reservations on your behalf at the selected venue. You are responsible for attending the scheduled reservation and following the venue's policies.

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. Our support team is available 24/7 to address safety concerns, facilitate rescheduling, or assist with any issues.

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.
