These filters are user-set preferences and do not constitute endorsement or discrimination by the Company. Users who set discriminatory filters may be subject to account action.

Circle implements a two-tier anonymity system for Outings:

  • Non-members can view and chat in open Outings but appear anonymously (labeled "OP," "#1," "#2," etc.);
  • Members (users who have joined) can see each other's real identities.

Circle provides safety features including:

  • "Notify a Friend": Send Outing details to a friend's email;
  • Reporting: Report problematic Outings or users;

  • Inform a friend or family member of your plans;
  • Use the "Notify a Friend" feature;

  • Report any concerning behavior immediately.

7. Matching and Connections

Circle uses a proprietary algorithm to suggest potential matches based on:

  • Your question responses;
  • Your stated preferences;
  • Compatibility factors determined by our system.

7.2 No Guarantees

We do not guarantee:

  • That you will receive any matches;
  • The accuracy of compatibility scores;
  • That matches will result in successful connections;
  • The accuracy of information provided by other users;
  • The identity, background, or intentions of other users.

7.3 User Verification Limitations

While we verify that users possess valid college email addresses, we do not:

  • Verify users' true identities;
  • Conduct background checks;
  • Verify users' photographs or profile information;
  • Screen for criminal history;
  • Monitor user behavior outside the platform.

You acknowledge that interacting with other users, both online and in person, carries inherent risks, and you assume those risks.

8. Anonymous Crush Feature

8.1 Overview

Circle may offer an anonymous crush submission feature that allows you to submit the email address of a potential romantic interest. If the submitted person is also a Circle user and has submitted your email, a "mutual crush" may be revealed.

8.2 Terms of Use

16.2 Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Service through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth in Section 16.5.

Arbitration Provider and Rules

Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (for claims under $250,000) or Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (for claims of $250,000 or more), as applicable at the time the arbitration is commenced.

How to Commence Arbitration

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a written Demand for Arbitration to:

Anthesis IG, Inc. Attn: Legal - Arbitration 251 Little Falls Drive Wilmington, DE 19808 Email: legal@oncircle.app

Your Demand must include: (1) your name, address, and email address; (2) a description of your claim; (3) the specific relief you seek; and (4) your signature.

Hearing Location

The arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, unless you and we agree otherwise. At your request, the arbitration may be conducted entirely by telephone, video conference, or based on written submissions only (without an in-person hearing).

Arbitration Fees

Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS' rules. For claims of $10,000 or less, we will reimburse your filing fee and pay the arbitration costs (except for the arbitrator's fee, which is shared per JAMS rules), unless the arbitrator finds your claim was frivolous.

Arbitrator's Authority

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes, including the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

Arbitrator's Decision

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator must follow applicable law and will have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages except where permitted by statute.

Batch Arbitration

16.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

16.4 Jury Trial Waiver

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

16.5 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above:

  • Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights;
  • Claims within the jurisdiction of small claims court may be brought there;
  • This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies that may seek relief on your behalf.

16.6 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@oncircle.app within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.

17. Governing Law
