Terms of use

If you would rather not agree, the only thing I ask is that you stop using the site.

The site is run by Jerry Shlocks, a sole proprietor based at 414 Luff Ln, Redwood City, CA 94065, USA. Throughout these terms, "the operator", "I" and "me" all refer to that person. Email reaches me at [email protected]. My full details are in the legal notice, and the way I handle personal data is covered by the privacy policy.

These terms are in everyday English by choice. Some lines may read like plain common sense, and that is fine: mostly they just describe how a small review site that tries to be honest goes about things. If any part leaves you unsure, ask me before you rely on it.

I would much rather send you a clear answer than have you guess at a clause, and if the wording was the problem, I will fix it for every reader.

Nothing is on sale here, whether subscriptions, coins, tokens or anything else, so you cannot buy anything from me through the site.

Each app's facts live in a dated record, and the pages print them from it. Each review is based on my own dated notes from having the app on its free plan or a paid one at some point from 2023 to 2026, and a label on the review says which. Prices, plans and policies are taken from what each company publishes on its own pages and in its terms, every fact with its check date, and anything other review sites report is credited to them. For how facts are gathered, labelled and fixed, see the editorial policy.

If life is heavy right now, please reach out to a qualified professional or to someone you trust. Doing so is nothing to be ashamed of, and an app can sit next to real support without ever taking its place.

Verdicts, rankings and recommendations on the site are opinions, every one of them. I write them honestly from the facts in the record, yet a sensible person could land somewhere else. Whether an app suits you is your call.

When a page puts an app at the top, it means that app is the closest match for that page's subject, going by the facts I have, not that it is the right pick for everybody.

What counts is the price at the app's own checkout. Look at it before you pay, and while you are there, read what the plan covers, whether it renews on its own and how you cancel. Annual plans are usually billed as a single payment, even when a page also shows what that works out to per month.

A discount or coupon code only appears together with the date it was spotted. The app alone decides if a code is still valid, which customers qualify and what strings are attached. There is no promise from me that any code works in your case, and when one fails, I cannot hand you the discount myself.

Any worked example on the site, such as a guess at what a month might cost, is an illustration built on prices published on the check date. What you really spend comes down to your own habits, and coin or token apps in particular can end up costing much more than the base plan if you lean heavily on pictures, voice or video.

Free tiers need a separate word. Every app measures its free allowance its own way, may alter it without warning, and sometimes offer new accounts something different from older ones. Whatever free tier I describe reflects what was published or visible on the date shown beside it, and there is no guarantee your account receives the same.

My own habit before paying for any plan is a short check: confirm the price and currency at checkout, find the line that says whether it renews by itself, see what pictures, voice or video cost on top, and note how and where you can cancel. Two minutes spent on that can spare you a good deal of regret.

My affiliate disclosure sets out how these links work here and the limits on what they can affect.

My reviews collect whatever is known about cancelling and refunds for each app, but the app's own terms always settle the question.

Pages here link out to app sites, help centres, terms, privacy policies and store listings, all run by other people. I have no control over those sites and take no responsibility for what they publish, whether they are online, how secure they are or what they do with your data. Linking to a site does not mean I back everything on it, and reviewing an app does not mean I vouch for how it handles the people who use it or their information. If a link is broken or lands you somewhere unexpected, please tell me.

Many apps, though, only accept adult users and run age checks of their own. Please respect those checks and do not try to dodge them. The content notice explains what the site describes and what it leaves out.

What you may not do: copy whole pages or big chunks of the site, publish them somewhere else, present them as your own work, or turn them into a rival site. Bulk scraping is not allowed, nor are automated tools that put heavy strain on the site, nor using its content to train or supply an AI model or a commercial dataset unless I have agreed in writing. Attempts to break into, disrupt or abuse the site or its server are not allowed either.

Unless a page says otherwise, the text, page structure and design are mine and protected by copyright. Names, logos and product names of apps are trademarks of the companies that own them, and I use them only to make clear which product I mean. Screenshots of app screens and pricing pages are there to illustrate factual points about those products.

If you believe material on My Virtual Girlfriend infringes your rights, email [email protected] with the page's address, what the material is and why you think it infringes. I look at every such notice quickly and remove anything that does infringe.

If anything looks off, whether it is a label, a price, a sentence or a link, please tell me. My Virtual Girlfriend is run by one person, and reader reports are a big part of how it stays accurate. Nothing bad happens if your report proves wrong, and you do not have to be certain before writing; a question is plenty.

Should a dispute not resolve that way, it goes to the courts that have jurisdiction under that law, except where your own country's law lets you take it to your local courts instead.

Should a court find any part of these terms invalid, everything else remains in effect. If I let a rule slide once, that does not mean I have given it up. English is the language of these terms, and if I ever publish a translation, wherever the two differ, the English text prevails.
