Terms of use

Simurgsu is a paid membership that introduces adults in New York City to possible friends. It suggests a few people a week, lets you have a short call with someone who also said yes, and helps you plan a meetup in a public place.

Friendship is not guaranteed. We do not promise a number of introductions, meetings or friends.

• You must be 18 or older and live in or near our service area (currently Manhattan and nearby Brooklyn).
• You must pass an identity check by our identity provider. The “Identity verified” badge means an ID was checked. It is not a background check and not a guarantee of anyone’s character.
• One account per person. Accounts are personal and cannot be transferred.

• Be honest about who you are and what kind of friendship you are looking for.
• Respect the limits other members set. Never pressure anyone for private details, money or a meeting.
• Never ask members for money, gifts, crypto or investments, and never sell anything to them.
• Do not make your own recordings of calls, take screenshots of other people’s private details, or share them outside Simurgsu. Simurgsu records calls for safety review by authorized staff, as described in the privacy policy.
• Use Simurgsu for friendship only: not for dating services, recruiting, sales or research.

We may warn, pause or close an account that breaks these rules. Heavy actions such as a suspension are approved by a second member of our safety team, and you can appeal them from your account.

Calls cost stars, as shown before every invitation. The first star stays reserved until the call ends and is finalized only if both people were connected for at least 30 seconds. A call that never connects, or drops in the first 30 seconds, costs nothing. Each extra five minutes needs both people to agree. Extensions are included for new standard memberships; existing Core and Plus memberships retain their agreed star rules.

Stars are a way to use the service. They are not money, cannot be sent to other members and cannot be exchanged for cash, except for the refunds described in the membership terms.

Meetups happen in public places you both choose. Each person pays their own way. Simurgsu is not a party to meetups and is not responsible for what happens at them, but we take every report seriously.

You can block or report anyone from their profile, a call, a chat or a plan. Reports are free and private: the other person is never told who reported them. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

You can pause or cancel your membership online at any time, without a phone call. You can download your data and delete your account from Settings. See the membership terms for renewals and refunds, and the privacy policy for what deletion removes.

If we change these terms in a way that matters to you, we tell you in the app before the change takes effect. You can reach us at any time through Help & support.
