Fourplay is a downloadable App which provides a double dating experience that allows Members to Team up with friends to create two person Teams (“Team(s)”) to match with another Team. A match generates a fourplay chat, where the four of you can discuss meeting in person for a double date (together the “Services”).
At Fourplay, we take something as serious as dating and make it a more fun, light-hearted and safer experience. We are elated that you are considering joining our community. By visiting or accessing the Website, downloading the App, and or utilizing our Services on the Platform, you agree to be bound by the following Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.

2. DESCRIPTION AND USE OF SERVICES
Fourplay is a free mobile application that allows Members to Team up with friends and meet twice the singles in half the time! We provide Visitors and Members with access to the Services as described in these Terms. Let us define some terms for you...
Visitors: Visitors (“Visitors”) are people who don’t create an account on Fourplay, but want to view all publicly accessible content, browse through the introduction of the App, and email or contact us for any reason.
Members: Members (“Members”) are users that have signed up to join our Platform. Members can do all the things that Visitors can do, as well as: (a) create an account on the Platform, which includes answering required and optional demographic and lifestyle questions (“Stats”); (b) upload an individual thumbnail photo of themselves; (c) create an unlimited number of Teams with other Fourplay Members (one Team equals the Member plus a person that Member knows personally); (d) browse through other Teams on Fourplay looking for prospective matches (a match equals all four Members from both Teams, two from each Team, “liking” each other’s team); (e) and message and communicate with Teams in a group chat once a match has occurred. In order to subscribe to the Platform, Members must register and enter a verification code, which is sent via SMS to that person’s mobile phone.
