Background & Safety Screening Authorization

This document applies only when Prosperous Pairs requests or offers an approved identity, age, background, public-record, registry, or safety-screening process in connection with an application, membership, introduction, event, or other eligible Service.

By separately accepting this document, I give the authorizations and acknowledgments below.

1. Screening authorization

I authorize Prosperous Pairs, where applicable to my application or membership and permitted by law, to verify information I provide and to review approved sources for identity, age, eligibility, fraud prevention, safety, and legal-compliance purposes.

Approved sources may include:

• information and documents I provide directly;
• reasonable identity and age verification sources;
• government-issued proof-of-age or identity records that I voluntarily submit or that law requires Prosperous Pairs to obtain;
• approved public court, government, or law-enforcement records that are lawfully available for the relevant purpose;
• public sex-offender or other government safety registries where legally permitted or required;
• residence, alias, or other identity-consistency information reasonably necessary to distinguish me from another person;
• certifications or attestations I provide concerning legally relevant background matters; and
• an approved third-party verification or screening provider only after Prosperous Pairs has approved the provider, purpose, data handling, contract, and any additional legally required consent process.

I understand that this authorization does not permit Prosperous Pairs or its providers to use unlawful pretexting, bypass access restrictions, scrape restricted government portals, obtain unrelated private information, or conduct a search that applicable law prohibits.

Current screening posture. A manual review of the U.S. National Sex Offender Public Website (“NSOPW”) or another approved public source may be used for a specific U.S. safety or IMBRA-related workflow where applicable. That limited review is not represented as a comprehensive nationwide criminal background check and is not the criminal background screening defined by every state dating-safety statute. Commercial consumer-report screening is not authorized by this document alone.

2. Information I certify

I certify that the identifying and background information I provide for screening is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

I understand that a material false statement, omission, forged document, impersonation, or attempt to evade an approved screening or safety control may affect my eligibility, membership, contact release, introduction, or participation, subject to applicable law and Prosperous Pairs’ review procedures.

3. Purpose limitation

Prosperous Pairs may use screening information only for legitimate purposes connected with:

• identity or age verification;
• application or membership eligibility;
• fraud, impersonation, abuse, trafficking, exploitation, or safety prevention;
• investigation of a credible safety or policy report;
• compliance with IMBRA or another applicable contact-release or safety law;
• protection of users, staff, or the Services; and
• establishment, exercise, or defense of legal rights where permitted by law.

Screening information is not authorized for unrelated advertising, sale of profiles, or disclosure to the public.

4. Screening is limited and cannot guarantee safety

I understand and acknowledge that public records, government registries, identity databases, and third-party records may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, outdated, sealed, expunged, unavailable, or associated with the wrong person.

A search that returns no record does not prove that a person has no criminal, abusive, fraudulent, or other concerning history. A record that appears to match a person does not necessarily establish identity or wrongdoing.

Screening cannot predict future conduct and cannot guarantee that any applicant or member is truthful, compatible, financially responsible, nonviolent, free from criminal history, or safe to communicate with or meet.

Unless Prosperous Pairs expressly states otherwise for a particular person and jurisdiction, I understand that Prosperous Pairs does not represent that every applicant or member has undergone a comprehensive criminal background check.

I further understand that Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, and other jurisdictions may define a legally significant “criminal background check” or “criminal background screening” more broadly than a manual NSOPW or public-registry search. Prosperous Pairs will not label a person “background checked” for those state-law purposes unless the applicable statutory standard was actually satisfied.

5. Human review, possible matches, and correction

If a source produces a possible match, discrepancy, or concerning result, Prosperous Pairs may request clarification or supporting information and may temporarily restrict an account, introduction, messaging capability, event participation, or contact release while the matter is reviewed.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, a possible public-record or registry match will be subject to reasonable human verification before a final eligibility decision is made. A name-only or partial match should not automatically be treated as proof that the record belongs to me.

I may contact contact@prosperouspairs.com to dispute or correct information Prosperous Pairs maintains about me. If the information came from an independent government, public-record, or third-party source, Prosperous Pairs may direct me to the source or provider when correction must legally or practically occur there.

6. No FCRA or consumer-report authorization

This document is not a substitute for any disclosure, authorization, permissible-purpose analysis or certification, pre-adverse-action notice, adverse-action notice, dispute procedure, copy of rights, or other requirement under the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) or a similar state consumer-reporting law.

My acceptance of this document does not, by itself, establish or certify a permissible purpose under the FCRA for Prosperous Pairs to obtain a consumer report. Prosperous Pairs must independently determine that the proposed report and purpose are lawful and must use a separate, provider-specific, counsel-approved disclosure and authorization process whenever the FCRA or similar law requires one.

If Prosperous Pairs later obtains a “consumer report,” “investigative consumer report,” or similar report from a consumer reporting agency in circumstances covered by those laws, Prosperous Pairs will implement the legally required workflow before obtaining or relying on that report.

My acceptance of this document alone does not authorize Prosperous Pairs to obtain a credit report, employment report, insurance report, or unrelated consumer report.

7. No continuous monitoring unless separately disclosed

Unless a separate notice expressly states otherwise and I give any legally required authorization, this document does not authorize continuous or indefinite monitoring by a consumer reporting agency or similar provider.

Prosperous Pairs may conduct a reasonable re-verification using lawfully available sources during an active membership when needed to investigate a credible safety concern, confirm continued eligibility, comply with law, or prevent fraud, provided the re-verification is permitted by applicable law and within the scope of the notice given to me.

8. IMBRA and international contact-release compliance

I understand that international matching may trigger the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (“IMBRA”), 8 U.S.C. § 1375a, or another contact-release law.

Where such a law applies, I authorize Prosperous Pairs to perform and document the screening and compliance steps that the law requires or permits for my role in the transaction, including approved public-registry searches and collection of legally required certifications or proof-of-age documentation. I understand that Prosperous Pairs may keep the relevant communication, contact release, introduction, travel coordination, or in-person facilitation blocked until the required statutory sequence is complete.

I understand, however, that this document does not replace any separately required:

• U.S.-client background certification or supporting documentation;
• government pamphlet or legally required disclosure packet;
• primary-language delivery requirement;
• foreign national client’s specific written consent to release personal contact information to an identified U.S. client; or
• statutory proof-of-age record or retention requirement.

A payment, membership tier, event booking, or staff approval does not bypass an applicable contact-release gate.

9. Privacy and sensitive information

Screening information may be sensitive personal information. Prosperous Pairs will process it according to the Privacy Policy, applicable law, access controls, purpose limitations, and approved retention rules.

Where a jurisdiction requires separate or explicit consent for sensitive, criminal-history, biometric, or similar processing, Prosperous Pairs will obtain the additional consent before that processing occurs.

This document is separate from AI consent, biometric consent, marketing consent, and general acceptance of the Privacy Policy.

10. Safety acknowledgment and personal responsibility

I understand that communicating with and meeting people I do not already know involves risks that no screening process or matchmaking service can eliminate. Risks may include deception, emotional harm, financial fraud, harassment, stalking, theft, assault, travel disruption, and other misconduct.

I agree to exercise independent judgment and reasonable precautions, including protecting financial and identifying information, meeting initially in public, informing a trusted person about meeting plans, maintaining control of my transportation, and avoiding sending money or financial credentials to another user based only on online communications or a platform introduction.

I understand that Prosperous Pairs’ screening, moderation, reporting, or matching decisions do not constitute a certification that another person is safe, compatible, truthful, or suitable for a relationship.

11. Assumption of ordinary and inherent risk

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I knowingly assume the ordinary and inherent risks of voluntary communications, introductions, meetings, dates, travel, and relationships with independent adults that Prosperous Pairs cannot completely control or eliminate.

I remain responsible for my independent decisions concerning communication, meetings, transportation, money, gifts, travel, lodging, intimacy, immigration sponsorship, and continuation or termination of a personal relationship.

This assumption of risk does not waive any duty or liability that applicable law does not permit Prosperous Pairs to waive.

12. Limited release relating to independent third-party conduct and source errors

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I release Prosperous Pairs and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from claims arising solely from:

• the independent conduct of another applicant, member, event participant, or third party that Prosperous Pairs did not direct, authorize, or negligently cause; or
• an inaccuracy, omission, delay, or misidentification originating in an independent government, public-record, registry, or third-party source, where Prosperous Pairs acted lawfully and reasonably in obtaining, reviewing, communicating, or relying on the information.

This limited release is intended to allocate risks outside Prosperous Pairs’ reasonable control. It does not create immunity for Prosperous Pairs’ own legally actionable conduct.

13. What I am not waiving

Nothing in this document waives or limits a right or claim that applicable law does not permit to be waived or limited.

Without limiting that principle, this document does not purport to release Prosperous Pairs from liability for its own fraud, willful misconduct, non-waivable gross negligence, unlawful discrimination, violation of non-waivable privacy or consumer-protection duties, knowing facilitation of trafficking or exploitation, or other legally non-waivable obligations.

This document also does not waive my right to make a safety report, contact law enforcement or emergency services, submit a privacy request, file a regulator complaint, or exercise another protected legal right.

14. Withdrawal and effect on eligibility

Where the screening is based on my consent and applicable law permits withdrawal, I may withdraw that consent prospectively by contacting contact@prosperouspairs.com.

Withdrawal does not make prior lawful processing unlawful and may prevent Prosperous Pairs from approving or continuing a feature, membership, introduction, or contact release that genuinely requires the screening information.

Withdrawal does not require Prosperous Pairs to delete a record that must lawfully be retained for IMBRA, fraud prevention, safety, tax/accounting, legal claims, court orders, or another legitimate and legally permitted purpose.

15. Incorporation of Terms; controlling law

The Prosperous Pairs Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply to the Services and to information processed under this document. If this document conflicts with the Terms on the specific subject of screening authorization, safety acknowledgment, or the limited release above, this document controls for that specific subject.

Mandatory local law controls over any inconsistent provision.

16. Separate affirmative acceptance

Prosperous Pairs should record my separate affirmative acceptance of this document, including the document version, date and time, account or applicant identifier, and other evidence reasonably necessary to demonstrate consent or authorization.

Acceptance of the Terms, receipt of a promotion, payment of a fee, marketing consent, or consent to an AI feature does not by itself constitute acceptance of this document.
