There have been a few lawsuits involving Tawkify, a matchmaking service, with varying claims and outcomes. Here’s a summary of the most notable ones:
1. Stanfield v. Tawkify, Inc. (2020):
- Claim: Jeremy Stanfield alleged Tawkify’s contract violated California’s Dating Service Contract Act (DSCA) by lacking required provisions and having an unlawful refund policy.
- Outcome: The court dismissed the DSCA claims, finding Tawkify’s contract complied with the Act’s requirements. However, Stanfield was awarded partial refund due to Tawkify’s failure to deliver promised services within the timeframe.
2. Consumer Complaints:
- Platform: Better Business Bureau (BBB)
- Claims: Several customers filed complaints with the BBB, alleging issues like:
- Failure to provide promised number of dates within the timeframe.
- Difficulty obtaining refunds despite dissatisfaction with the service.
- Unprofessional or misleading communication from Tawkify representatives.
3. Acquisition by S’More (2023):
- Development: In February 2023, Tawkify acquired S’More, an “anti-superficial” dating app, to expand its mobile offerings and introduce new relationship wellness services.
- Impact on Lawsuits: While the acquisition itself doesn’t directly impact existing lawsuits, it might influence Tawkify’s future practices and policies, potentially addressing some of the concerns raised in previous complaints.
It’s important to note that these are just some of the legal issues Tawkify has faced. As with any company, there might be other ongoing or resolved lawsuits that haven’t gained public attention.
