This website and the services offered by Matched By Design, Inc. (“Matched By Design,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are provided for informational and matchmaking-service purposes only. By using this website or engaging with our matchmaking services, you agree to the following terms:
1. Eligibility
By using this website or participating in our services, you represent that you are at least 21 years of age, and are legally single, separated, divorced, or widowed — and therefore eligible to engage in dating or matchmaking activities.

B. Epstein, Esq., nor by any person affiliated with Matched By Design.
Engaging with Matched By Design does not create a therapist–client, attorney–client, mediator– participant, or any other professional fiduciary relationship.
3. No Guarantee of Match or Outcome
While we use professional training and insight to curate introductions and support emotional readiness, we make no guarantee that you will find a match, long-term partner, or specific result. Relationship success depends on many factors, including your goals, preferences, participation, and interactions with others.
4. No Guarantee of Match or Outcome
Matched By Design may, at its sole discretion, conduct limited identity or background verification using publicly available information or third-party services. However, we are not obligated to perform such checks and make no representations or warranties about the accuracy or completeness of any background information obtained.
You are solely responsible for exercising caution and sound judgment when interacting with others. We encourage all clients to meet in safe, public places, communicate responsibly, and use
discretion when sharing personal information. Matched By Design is not responsible for the actions, representations, or behavior of any individual you may meet through our services, whether or not any verification has been performed.
5. Background Screening and Safety
Matched By Design may, at its discretion, conduct limited identity or background verification using publicly available information or third-party services.

You are solely responsible for exercising judgment and personal safety when interacting with others.
6. Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide truthful, current, and complete information when submitting forms or communicating with us, and to notify us of any changes that may affect your participation (such as relationship status or contact information). You acknowledge that your participation is voluntary and that you assume all responsibility and risk for your interactions with others.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Matched By Design, its officers, staff, agents, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website or our matchmaking services, including emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury. In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount you have paid for our services (if any), or such lesser amount as required under applicable law.
