Terms of service
Last updated: June 6, 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Nuits, the sole trader business that operates Cringe. By using the service you accept them. Cringe is satirical, but this agreement is real.
Eligibility
You must be 18 or older, able to form a binding contract, and not barred from using the service under applicable law. You confirm you are 18 or older when you create an account.
What Cringe is
Cringe is a satirical dating app designed to work against easy matches. It rewrites your profile into blunt language, mixes disclosed AI profiles into the deck, and discourages you on purpose. Nothing here is professional, legal, medical, or relationship advice.
Your account
Keep your information accurate, keep your credentials safe, and do not share or sell your account. One account per person.
Acceptable use
Be decent to other people. Do not do the things listed in our community guidelines, which are part of these terms.
Your content
You own the content you create. You grant Cringe a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, and display it to operate the service, including running it through the honesty engine and moderation. You are responsible for what you post and confirm you have the right to post it.
AI and bots
Some profiles in the deck are AI, and we disclose this. See the AI and bots page for how this works and what those accounts can and cannot do.
No payment
Cringe+ collects no payment information and never charges you. There is no paid tier and no charge of any kind. Any message that suggests otherwise is not from us and is not true.
Safety and moderation
We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that break our rules. You can report and block other users at any time. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation, as described in our child safety standards.
Termination
You can stop using Cringe and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these terms or put others at risk.
Disclaimers and liability
The service is provided as is, without warranties. We do not conduct criminal background checks on users and cannot guarantee anyone's conduct or identity. Meet people safely. To the extent the law allows, Cringe is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.
Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of Finland. If you use Cringe as a consumer, you keep the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence and can bring a claim in your local courts. In Finland, you can contact the Consumer Advisory Service for guidance and refer a dispute to the Consumer Disputes Board (kuluttajariitalautakunta) before going to court. We may update these terms and will post the new date at the top. For questions, write to hi@becringe.org.
