Find Love Safely Terms & Conditions
Last updated: December 27, 2025
Welcome to Find Love Safely. These Terms & Conditions explain how our programs work, what participants can expect, and how we support safe, respectful connection for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
By enrolling in Find Love Safely, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
1. About Find Love Safely
Find Love Safely is a relationship-focused service that provides personalized matchmaking, education, coaching, and community experiences for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (“members”).
Find Love Safely is not a dating app, therapy provider, medical service, or crisis intervention program. Our services are supportive, educational, and relationship-centered.
2. Who Is Agreeing to These Terms
These Terms may be acknowledged by:
- The member themselves
- A caregiver, parent, legal guardian, or authorized support person
- Both, when appropriate
By enrolling, you confirm that you have the authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of the member, if applicable.
3. Legal Capacity & Representation
Members may participate in Find Love Safely either independently or with support.
- Members participating independently represent that they are not under legal guardianship or conservatorship, or that they otherwise have the legal capacity to participate.
- For supported participation, a caregiver, parent, or appointed agent may acknowledge these Terms on behalf of the member and represents that they have the authority to do so.
Find Love Safely relies on the accuracy of these representations when providing services.
4. Independent & Supported Participation Models
Members participate in Find Love Safely in different ways.
- Independent participation means the member communicates directly with Find Love Safely and manages participation with minimal caregiver involvement.
- Supported participation means a caregiver or support person assists with communication, scheduling, logistics, or reinforcement of skills.
Both models are welcome. The appropriate level of support is discussed during onboarding and may evolve over time.
5. Program Participation & Expectations
All Find Love Safely programs include personalized matchmaking. Additional services (such as workshops or coaching) depend on the program selected.
Important expectations:
- Matches and timelines are not guaranteed
- Introductions are made thoughtfully and at an appropriate pace
- Quiet periods do not mean inactivity
- Participation requires respectful behavior toward others
Find Love Safely reserves the right to pause, modify, or end participation if safety or conduct concerns arise.
6. Matchmaking Scope
Matchmaking involves:
- Learning about members’ interests, goals, and readiness
- Making thoughtful introductions when appropriate
- Supporting early communication when needed
Find Love Safely does not monitor private relationships or communications outside the scope of our services.
7. Coaching & Workshops
Coaching
Coaching is supportive and educational. It may include:
- Communication and relationship skills
- Confidence-building
- Boundaries and consent
- Processing dating experiences
Coaching is not therapy, counseling, or crisis intervention.
Workshops
Live virtual workshops are educational and skill-building. Participation is encouraged but never required.
8. Coaching Scheduling, No-Shows & Cancellations
Coaching sessions reserve dedicated coach time.
- Sessions canceled 24 hours or more in advance may be rescheduled
- Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, are considered completed sessions
- Completed sessions are not refunded or rescheduled
If patterns of missed sessions occur, Find Love Safely may reach out to adjust scheduling or support needs.
9. Safety & Boundaries
Find Love Safely prioritizes safety through education, thoughtful pacing, clear communication, and respect for autonomy.
Respectful & Non-Violent Conduct
Find Love Safely is committed to providing a safe, respectful environment for all members, caregivers, staff, and community participants.
- Violent behavior, threats of violence, or physical intimidation are not permitted in any Find Love Safely program, event, coaching session, or interaction.
- This includes behavior directed toward other members, staff, coaches, caregivers, or the public.
- If safety concerns arise, Find Love Safely may pause or end participation and take appropriate steps to protect all involved.
This expectation applies to all participation models and is not negotiable.
10. Disclosure of Safety Concerns
Members and caregivers agree to promptly notify Find Love Safely if any information changes that may impact safe participation, including concerns or allegations related to:
- Violent behavior
- Abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)
- Serious safety risks
Failure to disclose relevant safety concerns may result in paused or terminated participation.
11. Background Screening
Find Love Safely conducts searches of publicly available sex offender registries, including the National Sex Offender Public Website (https://www.nsopw.gov/), at or around enrollment and periodically thereafter.
Members and caregivers acknowledge that:
- Such searches are limited in scope
- They do not guarantee safety or predict behavior
- Find Love Safely does not control or monitor private conduct
Members and caregivers are encouraged to conduct their own background checks when appropriate.
12. Confidentiality
Find Love Safely agrees to keep personal information shared by members and caregivers confidential, subject to safety, legal, and operational needs.
Members and caregivers agree:
- Not to share personal information about matches without consent
- Not to share Find Love Safely’s internal processes, materials, or documentation
- To respect the privacy of all participants
Confidentiality expectations continue after participation ends.
