Terms of Service

Note: Unfortunately, legal jargon is necessary and even required by law in some parts of the world. So please just know that we’re not trying to sneak anything by you (we made the font nice and BIG). So if you see anything that rubs you the wrong way or seems suspicious, by all means, please feel free to let us know about it

This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
20. Love Guarantee. If you pay for an annual Dadly membership and you actively use our services to look for love but are unable to find it, then you’ll have the option of receiving a full refund, minus any payment processing fees at the end of your membership term. However, if you materially benefited from the membership such as attending exclusive events that are only open to members, then you will be ineligible for a refund. You will also be ineligible for a refund if you’ve broken these terms of service in any way.
    In this context, “actively using our services” is defined as logging into the site at least once per month and either browsing for new members or participating in the group conversations in either the Dadly chatroom or forums.
21. Safety. We urge all users of our site to use caution when meeting another user in-person, as we can’t vouch for the character or behavior of our users, and disclaim any liability for issues that may come up when meeting in-person or interacting with them online.
22. Affiliates. Affiliates are entitled to a referral bonus if certain conditions are met such as the following:
    1) the referred user has a valid email address;
    2) the referred user has been photo-verified to confirm that they are the person they claim to be in their profile picture;
    3) the referred user has an approved profile picture;
    4) the referred user provides their real first name, age, and geographic location;
    5) the affiliate doesn’t spam people with their affiliate link.

    Affiliate Payouts: Affiliates are currently paid a commission of $10 for each referral that meets the above requirements. We reserve the right to change that amount at any time, but if the amount changes, all affiliates will be notified via email so that if they do not agree with the new amount, they may cease their efforts as an affiliate.

    Payout Methods: All referral bonuses are to be paid via PayPal, unless otherwise agreed to on a case-by-case basis.

    Payout Timing and Limits: Payouts will be processed at least once per week, with rare exceptions lasting no longer than 1 month.

    Payouts are limited to a total of $500/month, though we may update this amount in the future if needed, and affiliates will be notified via email if this happens. So if outstanding referral bonuses exceed that amount, then $500 will be paid per month until all bonuses have been paid.

    Referral bonuses and payouts will be tracked using a custom affiliate report page which will be provided to each affiliate after initially signing up and being approved as an affiliate, which will show all referrals for that specific affiliate, whether they have been approved and verified, and the date that an affiliate commission was paid for them.

    Cancellation: Either Dadly or an affiliate may cancel an affiliate’s account at any time and for any reason. However, unless any of the terms mentioned here are broken, any valid, verified, and outstanding referral bonuses must be paid.

    Scammers, Spammers, and Fake Profiles: Unfortunately, there will likely always be people trying to hide their real identity so that they can more easily rip people off and get away with it. So any referrals that aren’t photo-verified will not be considered valid or approved, and likewise, if they engage in scammy or spammy behavior, their account will be suspended, and if a referral bonus was already previously paid for them, then it will be nullified and deducted from any future referral bonuses.

    In this context, “scammy” behavior is defined as any behavior which seeks to benefit from lying, deceiving, or generally harming or attempting to defraud another user. This includes affiliates trying to defraud the referral system in any way such as attempting to get paid multiple times for the same user, attempting to edit payout records, etc. and any such affiliate will be immediately banned from the site, and they will forfeit all outstanding referral bonuses. They may also be pursued legally for fraud and damages, in which case they will be held liable for the associated legal fees.

    And “spammy” behavior is defined as any methods of communication – including live chat messages, forum posts, group discussions, private messages, phone calls, texts, and emails – which advertise another website, app, or service, or seeks to defraud or harass users in some other way.

    Facebook Groups, Email Lists, and Other Platforms: As an exception to spamming restrictions above, if you are an administrator of a Facebook Group, you are free to communicate with the members of that group within Facebook, unless or until they leave the group, and as long as it follows Facebook’s own terms of service.

    Similarly, if you maintain an email list that people specifically gave you permission to contact them, you are free to communicate with them as well without being considered spam – as long as they have the option to unsubscribe posted at the base of all emails associated with your Dadly referral link, and provided that you do not contact them again once they have unsubscribed, except as a one-time confirmation that they have been removed from your list.

    Also, you can share your affiliate link on other platforms such as Instagram or TikTok if you advertise it only to your own followers, and if you follow that platform’s terms of service.

    Any ads or other forms of sharing your Dadly affiliate link that will reach people outside of your groups, email lists, or followers need to be pre-approved via email by an authorized Dadly staff member.

    Cookies: Referrals are tracked using an affiliate link which places a cookie on the referred user’s system which is then noted on their application for a membership, which is then reflected on an affiliate’s custom report page. So if the user clears their cookies before signing up, we are unable to attribute that signup to you, and cannot pay a referral bonus for it.

    Similarly, if a user first clicks an affiliate link containing your affiliate ID and then clicks a link with some other affiliate ID, the referral is only attributed to the last-clicked affiliate link, and no referral bonus will be paid to the original affiliate, as there can only ever be one referral bonus per referred user.

    Cookies are given an expiration date of 30 days, though some browsers such as Brave may automatically override that expiration date and set it to 7 days. As this is outside our control, referral bonuses will only be paid if the cookie is detected in the user’s system before it expires.

Privacy Policy

Who we are

Dadly is a website that’s tailored to single dads looking for love (and the people interested in them / looking for a family).

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

For the sake of your privacy and safety, if you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included since visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Any media uploaded to Dadly also grants Dadly with an indefinite, irrevocable license to use said media for any purpose without any compensation. However, we will never publish any media that contains nudity without your consent.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze our traffic and tailor our service to your needs. So from a birds-eye view, which pages you visit on the site are being logged.

Who we share your data with

We’re not in the business of selling peoples’ data, and your data will only be shared with third-party services such as Facebook in order to better target ads, analyze your traffic or data (such as demographics), or provide you with better service. Additionally, we may use third-party mailing services such as MailChimp, but we will never sell your email address, and we hate spam too.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
