Effective September 28, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of NameMatch and related websites, features, communications, and services operated by MPS Holdings LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
NameMatch is a baby-naming web application that lets users browse names, swipe through recommendations, generate taste insights, invite a partner to a shared session, discover matches, build a shortlist, create a shared First Weeks preparation plan, receive notifications, and share certain content or results by link. Some features may be available anonymously, while other features require an account.
We may add, remove, suspend, improve, or change any part of the Service at any time, including by introducing optional paid features in the future.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
You may use some parts of the Service anonymously and may create an account through Apple, Google, or email sign-in. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your sign-in methods, devices, and access links secure.
You may not share your account with anyone else, impersonate another person, or access the Service using credentials or session links you are not authorized to use. If you believe your account or sign-in method has been compromised, notify us promptly.
If you create or join a shared session, you understand that the other participant in that session may be able to see shared session data, including matches, shortlist items, rankings, notes, reactions associated with matched names, and account details we expose within the session experience such as display name or account email. First Weeks prompt answers remain private until both partners answer that topic; shared decisions and ownership are visible to both partners.
Invite links and session codes function like access keys. Anyone with a valid invite link or code may attempt to join that session. You are responsible for who you invite and who you share session access with. We are not responsible for access granted because you shared a link or code.
If a session ends, a partner disconnects, or an account is deleted, some shared or anonymized session data may be retained as reasonably necessary to preserve the remaining participant's experience, maintain product integrity, comply with law, or resolve disputes.
The Service may allow you to share content such as public taste-profile pages, public name story pages, or shareable links to names and other app content. If you choose to share a public link, you instruct us to make the associated content accessible to anyone who has that link.
Public links may be forwarded, copied, cached, screenshotted, or indexed by third parties. Do not use public sharing features for anything you want to keep private. You are solely responsible for deciding what to share.
NameMatch offers optional monthly subscriptions (the Solo plan and the Couple plan) that unlock unlimited name swiping after the free allowance. A Couple plan also covers the partner you are paired with in NameMatch for as long as you remain paired and the subscription is active. Passes bought before subscriptions were introduced keep working as described when you bought them.
Automatic renewal. A subscription renews automatically every month at the price shown at checkout, including applicable taxes, and your payment method is charged at the start of each monthly period until you cancel. If the price of your subscription changes, we will tell you before the new price applies, and you can cancel before it does.
Cancelling. You can cancel anytime from Settings → Manage subscription, which takes you to Link, where you sign in with the email you used at checkout. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current monthly period: you keep paid features until then and are not charged again.
No refunds. Subscription payments are non-refundable, including for partially used months, except where required by law. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under applicable consumer law, including consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded, such as those under the Australian Consumer Law and the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
Seller of record. Subscriptions are sold through Link, a service of Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record: it processes payments, calculates and collects taxes, issues receipts, and handles billing support and cancellation requests under its own terms, alongside these Terms. Link may also issue refunds under its own policies.
If a renewal payment fails, we may keep paid features available for a short time while the payment is retried; if it cannot be collected, paid features stop until it is. If a subscription payment is disputed or charged back, we cancel the subscription immediately and paid features stop. If the dispute is resolved in our favor, paid features return until the end of the period that was paid for; the subscription does not restart.
We may change pricing, packaging, feature availability, or eligibility for future purchases on a prospective basis. If we suspect fraud, abuse, chargeback misuse, or a payment error, we may cancel or refuse the transaction and limit access to associated paid features.
By creating an account or enabling notifications, you agree that we may send you transactional and service-related communications, including sign-in messages, account notices, match alerts, partner nudges, daily name emails, weekly digests, and similar product communications.
Some communications are optional and may be controlled through your account settings, email unsubscribe tools, browser settings, or device permissions. Push notifications depend on your browser, device, service worker support, and third-party delivery networks, and we do not guarantee delivery.
You may submit or generate content through the Service, such as notes, shortlist choices, rankings, reactions, preferences, First Weeks answers and decisions, prompts, and feedback (“User Content”). You retain ownership of User Content as between you and us.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display, process, transmit, and otherwise use User Content as needed to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Service and related features. This includes making shared session content visible to your invited partner and making publicly shared content available through links you choose to share.
If you send us ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or other feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free right to use that feedback for any purpose without compensation or attribution to you.
You agree not to:
The Service, including its software, design, layout, user interface, trademarks, branding, datasets, recommendation systems, content selection, text, graphics, and other materials, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property and other laws.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, license, republish, or create derivative works from any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by us in writing.
The Service may integrate with or rely on third-party services, including authentication providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers, browser push services, social-sharing tools, and payment processors. Your use of third-party services may also be governed by the terms and policies of those third parties, and we are not responsible for third-party products or services that we do not control.
Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy. You understand that we may process data needed to operate the Service, including recommendation inputs, session data, account information, notifications, analytics, and related usage information.
We may use de-identified, aggregated, or otherwise non-personal information for analytics, benchmarking, trend reporting, product development, and other lawful business purposes.
We do not guarantee that the Service, any feature, or any content will always be available, accurate, complete, secure, or uninterrupted. Features may be experimental, limited, unstable, or offered on a beta basis, and may be withdrawn at any time without notice.
We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or impose limits on any part of the Service at any time, including limits on anonymous use, shared features, public pages, communications, or paid offerings.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
Name meanings, origins, popularity data, rankings, recommendations, taste insights, postpartum and newborn-care resources, preparation prompts, narrative content, and public-share outputs are for informational and entertainment purposes only. They may be incomplete, approximate, stale, generated, editorialized, or incorrect. The Service does not provide medical, legal, therapeutic, parenting, or other professional advice. Contact a qualified healthcare professional for medical concerns or urgent symptoms; you are solely responsible for your decisions and related actions.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, FOR THE SPECIFIC PAID FEATURE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MPS Holdings LLC and its affiliates, managers, members, employees, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of another person.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk or possible legal exposure, engaged in abuse, fraud, or misuse, or if suspension is necessary to protect the Service, users, or third parties.
You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account using available account tools. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, feedback, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute terms, and any payment obligations already incurred.
If you have a dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at support@name-match.com and try to resolve the dispute informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may bring an individual claim in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute must be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, or representative proceeding.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date above. By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms become effective, you agree to the revised Terms.
We may provide notices to you by email, through the Service, or by other reasonable means. You may send legal notices or questions about these Terms to support@name-match.com and those notices will be deemed received when actually received by us.
The Service is operated by MPS Holdings LLC.
