Terms and conditions of the service.

Last updated: August 27, 2025

Plain‑English summary: Dear Nuno is a premium companionship and life‑enrichment service. I offer presence, conversation, motivation, and shared experiences — not intimacy or any illegal activity. These Terms explain what I offer, what’s off‑limits, how bookings and payments work, and how we keep each other safe. By booking, you agree to these Terms.

1) Who I Am

Dear Nuno is a personal, one‑to‑one service operated by Nuno Lorêto in Metro Manila, Philippines. For questions: hello@dearnuno.com.

Important: I am not a therapist, healthcare provider, legal/financial advisor, or an escort. I provide companionship, motivation, and curated experiences only.

2) Eligibility & Client Responsibilities

  • Age: Clients must be 18+. I do not accept bookings for or by minors. If minors will be present (e.g., family events), you must disclose this and a responsible adult must be present at all times.

  • Capacity: You affirm you are legally capable of entering agreements and booking services for yourself.

  • Conduct: You agree to treat me, venue staff, and the public with respect; no harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory behavior.

  • Sobriety & Safety: You agree not to be dangerously intoxicated or under the influence of illegal substances during the session.

  • Venue Choice: For first meetings, public venues (cafés, restaurants, galleries, hotels lobbies, etc.) only. Private residences/hotel rooms may be considered later, at my sole discretion, and only for clearly defined, permitted activities.

Add‑ons: I can help coordinate third‑party experiences (e.g., tickets, tables, photographers) if you prefer; all third‑party costs are your responsibility and must be prepaid.

4) What Is Strictly Off‑Limits

To protect both of us, the following are not provided and are grounds for immediate termination (no refund), and may result in a permanent ban:

If boundaries are pushed or violated, I will end the session immediately. If I feel unsafe, I will leave and may contact authorities.
