Terms of use

Last updated 7 November 2026

This is a draft. It will be reviewed before Dishmate opens to the public.

Who we are

Dishmate helps people in Bengaluru find someone to eat with: food and friendship, never dating. These terms apply when you use the Dishmate app or this website. By creating an account, you agree to them.

Your account

  • You must be 18 or older.
  • One person, one account. Use your own name, and photos of yourself and of food.
  • Keep your sign-in codes to yourself. You are responsible for what happens in your account.

Meeting people

  • Meet only in public places: restaurants, cafés, food streets and markets. Never at someone’s home.
  • Follow our house rules. Keep chats about food, places and plans.
  • You pay for your own meal at the table, however you both agree. Dishmate is not part of that payment.
  • Dishmate introduces people. We can’t promise how a meal will go: use your judgement, and leave whenever you want.

Plans and payments

Some features need a paid plan. The price is shown in Indian rupees before you pay, and a plan runs for the period shown when you buy it. See our refund policy.

What you share

You own what you post, and you let us show it inside Dishmate to run the service. Don’t post anything that isn’t yours, that is explicit, hateful or illegal, or that shares someone else’s personal details.

Assistants

The AI assistant and the personal assistant act only within the rules you set. Nothing is booked or paid without your OK, and messages they write for you are marked as the assistant’s.

When we may act

We may remove content, or limit or suspend an account, that breaks these terms or the house rules, or that puts other members at risk.

Leaving

You can delete your account at any time from your profile in the app.

Changes

We will tell you in the app before important changes to these terms take effect.
