Terms and Conditions

The promoter is Kyel Steensma trading as The LoveSci Project (ABN 11 783 458 059), located in Queensland, Australia ("Promoter").

The Promoter can be contacted at kyel@thelovesciproject.com or on 0422 322 067 for any question, request, or complaint relating to this promotion, including requests to access, correct, or delete your personal information.

The promotion opens on 30 August 2026 at 12pm and closes on 30 November 2026 at 12pm ("Promotional Period").

Conditional Draw: This promotion relies on sufficient participation. If fewer than 1,000 valid primary entries are received by the closing date, the Promoter reserves the right to either extend the Promotional Period or cancel the draw entirely without awarding the prize.

You may take part as a study participant, by referring friends, or both (by later joining the study from a referring-friends account). Entry is limited to one account per person.

Study participant: You join the dating study, complete setup, and may be matched. Study participation is the primary way to enter the raffle.

Referring friends: You create an account solely to refer others and earn raffle tickets. You are not placed in the dating pool, you do not complete setup conversations, and your details are not used for matching.

Study participants: Study participants must meet the age, location, and relationship status requirements as currently displayed on the entry page and confirmed via the registration checkbox at the time of entry ("Active Criteria").

You must be genuinely single and open to dating.

Referring friends: Referring-friends accounts are not required to be single, open to dating, or resident in Brisbane, Gold Coast, or Sunshine Coast.

You must be 18 years or older and able to receive the prize in an Australian bank account.

Entry is strictly limited to one account per person.

Participant Conduct & Disqualification: The Promoter may, at its discretion, disqualify any entrant and remove their entries where it reasonably believes the entrant has created multiple or duplicate accounts, submitted false or misleading profile information, used another person's photos or identity, used bots, scripts, or automated means to enter or earn bonus entries, attempted to manipulate, misuse, or interfere with the AI matchmaking assistant (including prompt injection, adversarial prompting, attempts to circumvent its safety or system instructions, or deliberately excessive use intended to consume system resources), or engaged in harassing, abusive, threatening, or unlawful behaviour toward other participants or the Promoter. Disqualified entrants forfeit all entries and any claim to the prize.

To achieve the minimum entry threshold, the Promoter reserves the right to broaden the Active Criteria at any time (for example, by expanding the eligible age range or adding new geographic locations). Any expansion will be updated on the entry page, and early entrants acknowledge that the eligibility pool may grow accordingly.

Entry is completely free. No purchase, payment, or subscription is required at any point to enter or win.

Primary Entry: To secure a valid primary entry into the draw as a study participant, you must complete the initial mandatory conversation stage (Stage 1) with our AI matchmaking assistant.

Referring friends: A referring-friends account enters the draw solely through tickets earned in the app. A friend who signs up with your referral link receives one ticket when their account is created. You receive one ticket when that friend first completes Stage 1. Additional tickets may be earned through optional social actions displayed in the app (such as following the project or posting a story).

Bonus Entries: Throughout the Promotional Period, entrants may be offered opportunities to earn additional bonus entries into the draw by completing optional, completely free actions (such as completing subsequent optional conversation stages, referring friends, engaging with social media, or adding profile details). The specific optional actions available, the criteria to complete them, and the number of bonus entries awarded will be clearly displayed and updated within the app.

Joining the study later: You may later switch this account into the dating study. You will then need to accept the study participant terms, including the Active Criteria. Tickets already earned are retained, and you may earn more by completing setup. Switching is one-way.

The winner will receive a single cash prize of $5,000 AUD.

The prize will be deposited into the winner's nominated Australian bank account within 14 days of the winner being verified and claiming the prize.

A genuinely random draw will be conducted on 30 November 2026 at 6pm online.

The winner will be notified in writing via SMS and app notification within 48 hours of the draw.

If the prize remains unclaimed for 7 days after the initial draw, an unclaimed prize redraw will take place immediately using the same random selection method. The winner of the redraw will be notified promptly.

By entering the promotion, the winner agrees that the Promoter may use their first name for publicity and promotional purposes on social media (including Instagram) and our website without compensation or further consent.

This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Meta, Instagram, or Facebook. By entering, you fully release Meta from any liability or responsibility associated with this promotion.

Strictly Limited Sharing: Your photos, profile answers, and personal details will never be made public or searchable. They will only ever be shared with up to three (3) matched individuals suggested by our AI matching system for the sole purpose of dating introductions.

Referring-friends accounts: We collect your phone number, the name you provide, referral activity (including a snapshot of the phone numbers of people who sign up with your link), and any optional social-media proof you submit. This information is used to run the raffle and the referral programme. It is not used for matching and is never shown to other participants as a dating profile.

No Commercial Sale: The Promoter will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data or photos to third-party advertisers or external entities.

Data Retention & Study Wind-Down: Personal information, conversation logs, and profile data will be retained for a wind-down period of up to 6 months following the conclusion of the promotion. This period is used to handle customer support inquiries, ensure proper record-keeping, and analyze the results of the dating study.

Right to Withdraw & Deletion: Participation is entirely voluntary. You may withdraw from the promotion and the study at any time, for any reason, and request that your personal data, photos, and conversation history be permanently deleted. Requests can be made in-app or by contacting the Promoter, and will be actioned within a reasonable period. Withdrawing forfeits any entries into the draw. The Promoter may retain the minimum records required by law or already included in anonymised, aggregated analysis that can no longer be linked back to you.

Publication of Findings: Any findings, insights, or results published from this study (including on social media, our website, or in written reports) will be presented only in anonymised and aggregated form. Individual participants, their conversations, photos, or personal stories will never be published or identifiable.

Future App Transition & Opt-In: Following the study, if the Promoter launches an ongoing commercial dating app, participants will be invited to opt-in. Profile data will only be transferred to or utilized within a future platform if the user explicitly gives separate, affirmative consent. If a user does not opt-in, all of their personal data, photos, and conversation history will be permanently deleted or securely anonymized once the 6-month wind-down period concludes.

The AI compatibility scores and match suggestions are generated based on conversational inputs for entertainment and social networking purposes. The Promoter makes no guarantees or warranties regarding the accuracy of matches or the success of any dates.

Matches, Introductions & Personal Safety: The Promoter does not conduct criminal background checks, identity verification, or any other screening of participants. Participants are solely responsible for their own interactions and decisions, including whether to communicate with, share information with, or meet any other participant. Any meeting or communication with another participant is undertaken entirely at your own risk. You are encouraged to take sensible precautions, such as meeting in public places, telling someone you trust where you are going, and not sharing financial information. To the extent permitted by law, the Promoter is not liable for the conduct, statements, or actions of any participant, whether online or in person.

Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Promoter is not liable for any loss, damage, injury, cost, or expense (including indirect or consequential loss) suffered in connection with this promotion, the study, the use of the app, the matching process, or any interaction between participants, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Governing Law: These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and entrants submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State.

This promotion is conducted as a Category 4 game under the Charitable and Non-Profit Gaming Act 1999 (QLD).

Nothing in these terms restricts, excludes, or modifies any consumer rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).
