I was hoping this question would come up. Not because I have the required answer at this time, but because I wanted others to chime in and give me some thoughts and perspective on this.

We have not done extensive researched on liability the company might face due to an undesirable outcome from use of the service. Likewise we have not looked at any coverage options as of yet.

We will definitely do so before launching but my opinions are as below: For companies like Tinder, Uber, Care.com etc to exist there must me some solution to this, it is a matter of formalizing it for us. We are building the app so that it does not set you up on a meet but rather gives you options and both users initiate and confirm the meet themselves. I feel this can assist in limiting the liability as we are just facilitating users. The last thing we intend to do is have a very straight forward Terms of Service to add some protection and have notifications to the user, that if its your first meet we recommend a public area etc etc.

Have you had had to deal with something along these lines? Is there any recommendations you can give?

i suggest mobile phone fortification before every possible meetup. i don't know in any other country but in mine mobile phone is attached to citizen'S ID.

On this topic we have all accounts tied to Facebook and we are checking for the Verified tag on accounts. I know this is not completely reliable but its a starting point right? Otherwise we need to get into manual verification which would limit scale ability and growth rate.
