Terms & Safety
By using desperate15.com ("desperate15", "the service") you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
Community rules — the short list
Be kind. Flirting is welcome. Cruelty isn't.
Respect a no. If someone isn't into it, drop it. Every time.
Keep it clean. No sexual or explicit content, no unsolicited images or links.
No harassment or hate based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or anything else.
No scams, spam or selling. Never ask for money, gift cards, crypto or financial details — in chat or in letters.
Letters are a second chance, not a pressure tool. If someone doesn't write back, let it go.
Stay safe. Don't share your home address, workplace or financial info with someone you just met.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old. By entering the room you confirm that you are. We may remove anyone we believe is under 18.
Your nickname
Your @name is public. Don't use your full real name, someone else's name, or anything offensive or impersonating. We may remove nicknames that break these rules. Your nickname lives on your device; if you clear your browser data you may lose it.
2. How the service works
Each day at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, the room opens for 15 minutes and pairs you with one other person. If a chat ends early, you can be matched again while the room is open. When the time ends, if both of you choose to keep going, your chat continues in a private room for up to two hours. At any time, you can send a letter to another member's @name through the Post Office, subject to a daily limit. We don't guarantee you'll be matched on any given day.
3. Your conduct
You're responsible for what you say and do on desperate15 and in any call or meeting that follows. You agree not to break the community rules above, impersonate anyone, use bots or automation, attempt to disrupt or hack the service, or use it for anything illegal.
4. Reporting and blocking
Use Report to flag a chat for human review and Block & leave to end a chat immediately. A blocked member can't be matched with you or send you letters again. We may suspend or ban anyone who breaks these rules, at our discretion and without notice. If you're ever in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
5. Meeting people
We don't run background checks and can't verify who anyone is. If you decide to share contact details or meet someone, use common sense: meet in public, tell a friend where you're going, arrange your own transportation, and leave any time you feel uncomfortable.
6. Payments
During launch, all features are free. When paid features are enabled, opening a private room costs $1.00 and each Post Office letter costs $0.75, charged once per use through Stripe. Because these are instantly delivered digital features, payments are non-refundable except where required by law or if a technical error on our side prevented delivery. Prices may change; you'll always see the price before paying.
7. Your content
You keep ownership of your messages. You give us a limited license to transmit and temporarily store them so the service works, and to keep reported chats for safety review. Chats are otherwise deleted as described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Third-party services
Payments and ads are provided by third parties (such as Stripe and Google) under their own terms. We're not responsible for their services.
9. Disclaimers
desperate15 is provided "as is" and "as available". We don't promise the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that you'll find a connection. We aren't responsible for the conduct of any user, online or offline.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, desperate15 won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the past 12 months or $50.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. Continuing to use the service after changes are posted means you accept them.
