Terms of Use

Last updated November 14, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Velvet Hour for your use of the Velvet Hour app. By creating an account you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

Who can join

  • You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if that’s higher) and complete our ID and age verification.
  • You must be a real person, use your own photos, and keep one account per person. Couples and throuples share one profile, and every partner verifies.
  • You can’t use Velvet Hour if you’ve been removed from it before, or if the law where you live doesn’t allow you to.

Our community rules

Velvet Hour is built on consent, respect and discretion. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. You agree not to:

  • Post or send anything involving anyone under 18, or anyone who hasn’t consented.
  • Share someone else’s photos, private photos, messages or personal details outside the app, or try to identify, “out” or locate a member.
  • Harass, threaten, pressure or demean anyone, or keep contacting someone who has said no or blocked you.
  • Post hate speech, violence, or content that is illegal where you or the recipient live.
  • Offer or ask for money, gifts or paid services of any kind, or advertise or sell anything without our permission.
  • Impersonate anyone, misrepresent your age, relationship status or partner’s consent, or create fake accounts.
  • Scrape, copy or misuse the app, or interfere with how it works.

Photos are screened before anyone sees them and may be refused. Profile photos, posts, Thirsty Thursday and the Exchange can be sexy, never nude.

Child safety

Velvet Hour is for verified adults only, and we have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, or any sexualised content involving anyone under 18.

  • Any account involved is removed permanently, and its content is preserved and reported to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (Cybertip.ca), the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and law enforcement where the law requires.
  • Report anything concerning from the member’s profile or chat in the app, or email our child-safety contact at safety@velvethourafterdark.com. We review these reports first.
  • We follow the child-safety laws that apply where we operate and cooperate with authorities.

Reporting, blocking and enforcement

You can block or report any member from their profile or your chat. We review reports, usually within 24 hours, and may remove content, limit features, or suspend or remove accounts that break these rules, with or without notice. Where the law requires it, or someone may be in danger, we may share information with authorities.

Your content

You own what you post. You give Velvet Hour permission to host, store, display and process it only so we can run the app and show it to the members you choose. You’re responsible for what you post and send, and for having the right to share it.

Meeting people

Velvet Hour verifies age and identity, but we don’t run criminal background checks and can’t guarantee how any member behaves. Take care when meeting anyone: meet somewhere public first, tell a friend, and use protection and your own judgment. You’re responsible for your interactions with other members, online and in person.

Membership and payments

  • Some features need a paid membership. Subscriptions are sold through Apple and charged to your Apple ID.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and length unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a subscription.
  • Free trials and invite rewards end automatically and may be changed or withdrawn.

Venues, events and trips

Clubs, resorts and events listed in Velvet Hour are independent businesses. We don’t run them, aren’t affiliated with them unless we say so, and aren’t responsible for them. Reviews are members’ own opinions.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time. See Delete your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or to protect members.

Disclaimers and liability

Velvet Hour is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the conduct of any member or venue, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be waived.

Changes and law

We may update these terms. If a change is significant we’ll let you know in the app, and continuing to use Velvet Hour means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
