1. Nature and Scope of the Service

1.1 VegStyle is an online vegetarian dating and community platform aimed at users who wish to establish contact for the purposes of friendship and romantic relationships and to participate in groups, discussions and forums within the platform.
1.2 The core VegStyle Service is currently provided free of charge and without third‑party advertising. We reserve the right to introduce, in the future, (i) paid premium functionalities and/or (ii) advertising placements. Any such changes shall only occur in compliance with applicable law of the Czech Republic and directly applicable law of the European Union. Your use of any paid premium functionalities shall at all times require your separate and explicit consent, and the relevant conditions shall be set out in updated contractual documentation.
1.3 We do not warrant or guarantee that your use of the Service will result in the finding of a partner, friendship, or any other specific outcome. The Service merely provides a technical platform for communication between users.
1.4 The Service is intended for users who are habitually resident in a Member State of the European Union. By using the Service, you represent that you are located in the EU and that you use the Service in compliance with the laws of your country of residence.

2.2 VegStyle is focused on relationships based on a traditional concept of family. The platform is therefore intended exclusively for dating between men and women. By registering, you acknowledge and accept this orientation of the Service.
2.3 In order to use certain functionalities of the Service, you must create a user account. For this purpose, you are obliged to provide accurate, truthful, complete and up‑to‑date information and to update such information without undue delay if it changes.

2.4 You are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials and to protect them from misuse by third parties. You are responsible for all activities carried out through your account.

2.5 Mandatory profile photo for new members
2.5.1 As a newly registered user, you are required to upload a clear and appropriate profile photograph that depicts your own face and is suitable in view of the nature and purpose of the Service. The profile photograph must comply with these Terms, the Community & Conduct Rules in Article 5 and applicable law.

2.5.3 If you do not upload a compliant profile photograph within twenty‑four (24) hours of completing your registration, your newly created user account may be automatically suspended. In such a case, your profile will not be visible or accessible to other users until an appropriate profile photograph has been uploaded and approved.

11.6 Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability:

• for death or personal injury caused by our wilful misconduct or gross negligence;
• for damage caused by our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
• where such limitation or exclusion would be contrary to mandatory provisions of applicable law of the Czech Republic or directly applicable law of the European Union (including mandatory consumer protection rules).

12. Third‑Party Websites and Content

12.1 The website may contain links to third‑party websites, applications or services. Such links are provided solely for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, data‑processing practices, terms of use or policies of any third parties.

15.3 Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Service or its use shall be submitted to the competent courts of the Czech Republic. This is without prejudice to mandatory provisions of EU law on jurisdiction and consumer protection (in particular Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012, “Brussels I bis”).
15.4 If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a competent authority, such provision shall be severed and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
