Terms of service

Reader terms for darlink-ai.io. Plain language, short, written to be understood on first read rather than argued about later.

What accepting these terms means

Loading or continuing to read darlink-ai.io signals that you accept these terms as they read on the day of your visit. If you do not accept them, close the tab. Continued use is the operative act. No signup or click-through gate is used because this site does not require one.

What this site is and is not

darlink-ai.io is an editorial site. It is a third-party resource on the DarLink AI platform operated by the DarLink AI company at darlink.ai. This site does not represent DarLink AI, is not endorsed by DarLink AI, and cannot act on your behalf inside their product. If you need account recovery, a payment refund, a chat export or any other transactional help with the platform, contact DarLink support through the address published on their site or on the TAAFT directory. Editorial coverage on the main DarLink AI page is opinion and analysis grounded in sources listed on the methodology page.

Intellectual property

The text, layout, generated images, logo mark and stylesheet on darlink-ai.io belong to darlink-ai.io unless credited otherwise. Third-party trademarks (DarLink AI, DarLink Coins, ElevenLabs, and platform names in the alternatives comparison such as Candy AI, Character.AI, Replika, FantasyGF, Janitor AI, CrushOn AI) belong to their respective owners and appear here for reference under fair use. Any screenshot of a product referenced remains subject to the terms of the platform pictured.

Short passages of editorial copy may be quoted elsewhere with attribution and a link back to the source page. Wholesale republication or automated scraping is not permitted without a written agreement.

Accepted use

Use the site as a reader would. Read the coverage, click outbound links to platforms you want to try, share pages with people who might find them useful. Do not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it at abusive volume, embed the content in a way that misrepresents the editorial position, or use it in aid of unlawful activity in your jurisdiction.

Third-party content and links

Outbound links point to sites outside editorial control: DarLink AI itself, alternative platforms in the comparison, research papers, community forums. Their availability, content and terms are their own. Where an outbound link carries an affiliate tracking parameter, that is disclosed on the editorial policy page.

Disclaimers

Coverage is accurate to the best of the editor's knowledge as of the last-reviewed date on each page. DarLink AI ships product changes frequently. A claim that was correct in July 2026 may not be correct in November 2026. Where you spot a claim that no longer matches the current product, that is a valid correction and can be submitted through the process on the editorial policy page.

Nothing on darlink-ai.io is legal, medical, financial or clinical advice. Research citations describe published findings, not personalised recommendations for any specific reader. Decisions about whether to subscribe to any AI companion platform, including DarLink AI, are yours to make.

Affiliate disclosure

Some outbound CTAs on the main page are affiliate links. Signing up or subscribing through one may earn this site a commission at no additional cost to you. Full policy, including what affiliate revenue is not allowed to influence, sits on the editorial policy page.

Adult content and access

The site is written for adult readers and gated at 18+. Access requires you to self-certify age on entry. Full detail on the adult-access model is on the age verification page. Federal record-keeping position for a third-party editorial site of this shape is on the 2257 statement.

Data handling

What data is collected, cookies used, third-party services and reader rights are documented on the privacy policy. Editorial data handling that touches sources, drafts and correction routes is on the editorial policy page.

Limitations of liability

The site is provided as-is. To the maximum extent permitted by law, darlink-ai.io and its editor are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of the site, or from any decision you make based on coverage published here. This limit does not override rights you hold as a consumer under mandatory law where you live.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated to reflect legal or operational changes. Substantive changes bump the schema dateModified and are logged on the editorial policy correction log. Continued use of the site after a change is your acceptance of the changed terms.

Jurisdiction and dispute resolution

The site is operated from the Netherlands. Dutch and EU law applies to the operation of the site, subject to mandatory consumer and data protection law in your own jurisdiction where that gives you stronger protection. If a dispute arises, the first step is direct contact with the editor through the channel below.
