Terms of Service

Last updated September 12, 2026

These terms govern your use of the Ahmaris website and mobile app. By creating an account you agree to them.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, legally single, and able to enter into a binding agreement. You agree that the information you provide is truthful and your own.

How Ahmaris works

Ahmaris is a matchmaking service, not a browsing app. After you apply, we review your questionnaire and consultation before offering membership, and you must verify your identity with a government-issued ID before you can message a match. Introductions are made at our discretion, and we cannot guarantee any number of introductions or any particular outcome.

Membership fees

The Purpose Journey package is paid when you create your account, through Stripe, and includes your first three introductions. Fees are non-refundable once an introduction has been made, except where the law requires otherwise. Promotional offers apply only to the Purpose Journey package, not to additional packages, upgrades, add-ons or other Ahmaris services; a promotional credit has no cash value, cannot be redeemed for cash, and must be secured by submitting your application within 24 hours of applying the code.

Your conduct

Treat every member with honesty, kindness, and respect.
Do not share another member's photos, messages, or details outside the app.
Do not use the service for commercial purposes or to solicit anyone.
Never ask another member for money, a loan, a gift, or an investment. One report of soliciting money is enough for us to remove you.
Do not misrepresent your identity, age, marital status, or intentions.

We may suspend or end your membership if you violate these terms or if we believe it is necessary to protect other members.

Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive members

Ahmaris has zero tolerance for objectionable content and for members who treat someone badly. That is not a slogan. Content that degrades another person is taken down, and a member who mistreats someone is removed, without a grace period and without a second chance earned by being pleasant the rest of the time.

Objectionable content and abusive behavior include, at a minimum:

Harassment, threats, intimidation, stalking, or hateful language about anyone's race, ethnicity, faith, national origin, sex, disability, or age.
Sexually explicit or suggestive messages or images, nudity, and unwanted sexual advances.
Spam, solicitation, business or investment pitches, requests for money, and any other scam or attempt at fraud.
A borrowed or invented identity: photos that are not of you, or a name, age, or marital status that is not yours.
Pressuring someone to move to another app, to text, or to meet before they are ready.
Sharing another member's photos, messages, or contact details, inside the app or outside it.
Anything unlawful, and anything that puts another member's safety at risk.

Reporting and blocking

You can report anyone you have been introduced to, and you can report a single message, from the conversation itself. You choose a reason: harassment, inappropriate content, spam or a scam, a fake profile, pressure to move off the app, a safety concern, or something else. You can add anything you want your matchmaker to know. Reporting is private. The person you report is not told that you reported them.

You can also block any member you have been introduced to, at any time, with or without filing a report. Blocking takes effect immediately: the introduction is closed and the conversation becomes read-only for both of you. Nothing is deleted, because your matchmaker may need to read the thread. Unblocking later lifts the block but does not reopen the introduction; only your matchmaker can do that.

You can also write to us at hello@ahmaris.com. If you believe anyone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first.

How we respond to reports

Every report is acknowledged at once, and a person acts within 24 hours of receiving it. Some responses are automatic and immediate: the first report that a member asked someone for money, a loan, a gift, or an investment closes that introduction and sends the member a formal written warning; a second such report from a different member ends their membership without further review. For everything else we may remove the content, close the introduction, suspend the member while we look into it, or remove the member from Ahmaris permanently. Someone removed for abuse is not invited back.

Where there is a credible risk to someone's safety, such as a threat, a crime, or a person in danger, we cooperate with law enforcement, and we will give them what we hold when the law requires it or when it is needed to protect a person from harm.

Background checks

Background checks are optional and are never required to join. You may run one yourself at any time, or once you are matched either of you may ask the other to complete one; you may decline. If you agree, you will be asked for separate consent by our screening partner before any check is run. Only whether a check was completed, and whether it was clear, is shared with your match; the report itself never is.

Your content

You keep ownership of the photos and text you provide. You grant Ahmaris a license to use them only to operate the service, including showing them to members you are introduced to.

Safety

We screen applicants carefully, but we cannot verify everything. Use good judgment when meeting anyone in person, meet in public places, and tell someone you trust where you will be.

Limitation of liability

The service is provided as is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ahmaris is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service or from your interactions with other members.

Changes

We may update these terms. We will notify you of material changes by email or in the app before they take effect.
