To become a member you must have a Cupido Account

What is a Cupido account: Cupido account is an account you must have in order to register to become a Cupido Club member [[LENKE: /club/newclubprofile]], or if you want access to the payment service on Cupido.no (C+) [[LENKE: /account/newaccount]].

After logging in you find the Cupido account under Menu (top right). Here you can change, delete and check the membership relationship in Cupido (Subscription, Cupido Club etc).

On a mobile phone the menu list is under the arrow to the right (see picture below).

[[BILDE: /media/1335/konto.jpg?width=438&height=300]]

Safe and secure purchase on the internet

Cupido uses PayEx Solutions as partner for card payment. Visa and MasterCard SecureCode is additional security introduced to protect you as a cardholder against unauthorised persons being able to pay with your card on the Internet. The solution means that you must enter a code or sign electronically (e.g. Bank ID or Mobile-ID) for the transaction with the solution that your card-issuing bank has chosen.

Cupido does not get access to sensitive payment information, such as card number, when you pay with a card. All such information that the customer provides is encrypted and the payment takes place on PayEx pages that are secured with SSL certificates.

If you shop with a card in Cupido Shop, Hverdag as will be stated as the payment recipient on the account statement you receive from the bank.

The profile picture is the main picture in your profile. It is shown in profile search and other member overviews together with your username, gender/age, place and login status.

The cover picture is the background picture in your profile. The cover picture is not shown in the search list.

Both the profile picture and the cover picture must be approved by a moderator before they can be shown to other members.

Do I have to have a profile picture?
No, a profile picture is not a must. But be aware that the profile picture or the lack of a profile picture is the very first thing other members see of your profile.

Why is the profile picture important?
The profile picture can be completely decisive for others contacting you or answering your approaches. Emphasise that the picture is a good picture, no matter what it is a picture of!

The profile picture does not necessarily have to be a portrait of yourself, but if you show your face in the profile picture you have a much greater chance of establishing good connections with other members.

You add the profile picture and cover picture via your profile or from your open gallery

1) From your profile page

• My profile
• Edit profile
• Click on Add or Change profile picture or cover picture
• Picture is shown to you immediately.
• Both profile picture and cover picture must be approved by a moderator before they can be shown to other members
• Click Save and Complete

From your open gallery

• You can also use a picture that you already have in the open gallery and that is approved by a moderator as profile picture or cover picture. You do it by pointing at the picture in the gallery and clicking on the landscape icon (Set as profile picture or cover picture).

Profile picture and cover picture are deleted via your profile

Picture rules in general (apply to all pictures in Cupido Club)

• The member may only upload their own pictures – and others' pictures that are not protected by copyright (public domain). Publishing pictures of persons without them being aware of it or having approved the pictures is also forbidden under åndsverksloven § 45c. [[LENKE: https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2/KAPITTEL_6#%C2%A745c]]
• Photographs with recognisable persons may only show the profile owner, or a consenting partner if the profile is a couple profile.
• The pictures must not be offensive or contain email addresses, personal data and advertising.
• Erotic pictures are allowed as long as they stay within Norwegian law.

• The pictures must not have explicit sexual content, show genitals, be censored or focus on crotch/buttocks/breasts – with or without clothes. It is focusing when the crotch, buttocks/buttock cleft and breasts are a significant eye-catcher in the picture and/or the situation is perceived as exposing.

• By uploading pictures in Cupido Club, the member guarantees that the pictures comply with the picture rules in the user agreement.

• Pictures that are published in members' open galleries, including profile pictures/cover pictures, must be approved by Cupido's moderators.
  
• The moderator cannot, however, know which pictures the member has or does not have rights to use. That a picture is approved by a moderator does not mean that Cupido gives the member the right to use the picture. Publication of pictures takes place solely at the member's responsibility.
  
• Reference is also made to the user agreement's point 2 – Acceptance of rules – which mentions that "in enforcing the rules for Cupido Club there will be a need to exercise discretion. The members accept that Cupido's moderators exercise such discretion on behalf of the community".

There can be several reasons why the picture was not accepted in your open gallery, as profile picture or cover picture:

1. The picture shows genitals
2. The picture is or is assumed to be copyright protected (taken from other websites without you having the right to use it)
3. The picture is a photograph and shows recognisable persons who are not the profile owner(s)
4. The picture is of you or others as children
5. The picture is sexually explicit
6. The picture is censored
7. The picture focuses on buttocks/breasts/crotch

The picture galleries are linked to your profile in Cupido Club. All profiles can have one open gallery and several private galleries.

Pictures in the open gallery must be approved by a moderator. You get a message as PM if the picture you want to show in the open gallery is not approved.

Private and more intimate/explicit pictures can be added to Private Galleries.

Private messages (PM) make it possible for you to communicate with other members in Cupido Club. No one other than the sender and recipient can read these messages.

You can upload up to four pictures per message and send them as attachments to private messages.

Are private messages moderated?
No, neither the moderator nor Cupido's administration can read members' private messages.

But when members report abuse/overstepping in a private message they have received, a copy of the message will accompany the report to the moderator. Read more about moderation in Cupido Club!

How is the mailbox organised?
All members have a mailbox linked to their profile. When you open «My messages» from the menu in your profile, you come to «My messages» with a list of conversations you have or have had with other members.

The conversations are organised like ordinary text messages you usually have on your mobile phone.

What is a conversation?
A conversation is a thread of messages to and from the same sender and recipient. The conversations are organised based on profiles you communicate with. A conversation is active until one of the parties deletes the entire conversation.

• VIP members: Can send messages to anyone they want.
• Free members: Can see that messages have been received in the mailbox, but must upgrade to VIP membership to be able to open, read and send/reply to messages.

You can send private messages in two ways:

1 – From the member's profile

• Open the profile of the member you want to send the message to
• Message (envelope icon)
• Write new message here – Write message text.
• Send
• If you have exchanged or written messages to the person earlier, the old conversation will be retrieved (unless the earlier conversation was deleted by one of the profiles in the conversation).

2 – From your own profile

• My profile
• My shortcuts
• My messages
• New conversation (in the tab row at the top of the message list)
• Username – Write letter by letter in the username until the correct username appears.
• Start conversation
• If you have exchanged or written messages to the person earlier, the old conversation will be retrieved (unless the earlier conversation was deleted by one of the profiles in the conversation).

Maximum length of messages is 3000 characters. If you have longer texts you can divide the texts into several messages.

You can send up to three pictures as attachments to each message you send.

• Browse – Choose one picture from your own computer and repeat this up to four times
• You can remove selected pictures from the message before you send it
• Send

Delete a message in the conversation:

• Click the trash icon.

Delete one or more conversations:

• My profile
• My messages
• Tick the box(es) to the right of the conversation(s) you want to delete
• Delete selected conversations (arrow button top right next to actions)

What happens to a deleted message or conversation:

A deleted message is removed from your conversation, but your conversation partner may still have the message you sent in the conversation between you and your partner.

Even if you delete all messages in a conversation, the conversation is not ended until you delete the conversation itself.

The same applies when you delete a conversation. It is only gone from "Your message book", but your conversation partner still has the text from the conversation with you until they delete it. The conversation is marked as ended (by the person who deleted it).

The concept of a sent message is the same as if you sent physical letters by post. Letters that have been sent belong to the recipient until the recipient deletes them.

A new conversation can be created when one member contacts again by sending a new message.

A deleted message is removed from your conversation, but your conversation partner may still have the message you sent in the conversation between you and your partner.

Even if you delete all messages in a conversation, the conversation is not ended until you delete the conversation itself.

The same applies when you delete a conversation. It is only gone from "Your message book", but your conversation partner still has the text from the conversation with you until they delete it.

The conversation is marked as "Ended" when one partner deletes the conversation.

The concept of a sent message is the same as if you sent physical letters by post. Letters that have been sent belong to the recipient and the recipient can keep them for as long as they want.

An ended conversation cannot be restored. A new conversation can be created when one member contacts again by sending a new message.

When the message you have sent has this icon [[BILDE: /media/1012/icon_ulest.jpg?width=19&height=20&mode=max]], then the recipient has not read your message.

Email notification about new events or new messages is sent every 24 hours. The reason for this is that it can be tiring to get email all the time every time you get a message in the inbox.

• Only members who are VIP can create and reply to contact ads in Cupido Club.
• Free members can read others' contact ads, but not create and reply to ads.

How many contact ads can a member have active at the same time?

• There is an upper limit of five ads. When the limit is reached, you must delete old ads to be able to create new ones.
  

How long does a contact ad stay active?

• Contact ads are deleted automatically one month after they are published.
  

The Match function is an automatically generated search based on the criteria you are looking for and what is available on the search list.

The Match function is not a definitive answer. You must yourself find out more about whether someone is a good match for you by getting to know them better.

How suggested Matches work:

Matches are based on the search criteria a profile has and the profiles that exist. These matches are based only on some simple criteria such as:

• "Looking for age from - to" (if not specified, all ages are relevant)
• "Wants messages from" (if none are specified, all types are relevant)
• gender / couple type
• Matches are only for VIP/VIP+
• The profiles are not in a relationship (friends, more-than-friend, blacklist)

You can turn the Match function on or off by doing the following:

My profile -> My Matches -> Turn Matches on / off.

Groups in Cupido Club are member-run forums for VIP members where the person who creates the group becomes the group leader and decides the premises for activity in the group and whether the group should be open or closed.

In a closed group, membership must be applied for, and it is the group leader who has sole authority to decide whether membership applications are approved. The group leader can delegate admin tasks to other members of the group. The groups are thematically organised.

Only a list of open groups is shown in your profile description to other members. You can turn the display on or off under the settings of your profile.

The forum in Cupido Club consists of thematically organised discussion threads. All VIP members can start discussion threads by choosing a topic and writing the first post in the thread.

VIP members can write an unlimited number of posts in the discussion threads. Free members can read the posts in the threads, but not write posts in them.

Members who participate in the Cupido Forum commit to familiarising themselves with the Rules for Cupido Forum [[LENKE: https://www.cupido.no/node/14238]] and Good advice for debaters [[LENKE: https://www.cupido.no/node/14242]].

Cupido Chat is an offer to VIP members with one common room where members can chat at the same time.

Members can chat with or without camera in open or private room.

With Chat you can get to know others better, for example by showing yourself on camera, hearing voices of others and chatting away.

More-than-friend or MEV is a confirmed list of members with whom you want to have something more than just being friends.

You become More-than-friend with another profile by sending a request to become More-than-friend. When it is confirmed, a pink heart will be shown in the corner of your profile picture when you are visiting a profile you have status as More-than-friend with.

Your More-than-friend list (if you have several :-)) is not shown to other members. More-than-friend only shows that "there is something going on" between two profiles.

Picture rules in general (apply to all pictures in Cupido Club)

• The member may only upload their own pictures – and other people's pictures that are not protected by copyright (public domain). Publishing pictures of people without them being aware of it or having approved the pictures is also prohibited under the Copyright Act § 45c.
• Photographs with recognisable people may only show the profile owner, or a consenting partner if the profile is a couple profile.
• Pictures must not be offensive or contain e-mail addresses, personal information and advertising.
• Erotic pictures are allowed as long as they stay within Norwegian law.

• Pictures must not have explicit sexual content, show genitals, be censored or focus on crotch/buttocks/breasts – with or without clothes. It is focusing when crotch, buttocks/butt crack and breasts are a significant eye-catcher in the picture and/or the situation is perceived as exposing.

• By uploading pictures in Cupido Club, the member guarantees that the pictures comply with the picture rules in the user agreement.

• Pictures published in members' open galleries, including profile pictures, must be approved by Cupido's moderators.
   
• The moderator cannot, however, know which pictures the member has or does not have the rights to use. That a picture is approved by the moderator does not mean that Cupido gives the member the right to use the picture. Publishing of pictures takes place solely at the member's responsibility.
   
• Reference is also made to section 2 of the user agreement – Acceptance of rules – which mentions that "when enforcing the rules for Cupido Club there will be a need to exercise discretion. Members accept that Cupido's moderators exercise such discretion on behalf of the community".

There are several reasons why Cupido tightened the restrictions on publishing pictures:

1. There is a need for routines that ensure better compliance with the provisions of the Copyright Act on copyright and the provisions of the Penal Code on depicted persons' "right to their own image". Violation of these provisions can lead to claims for compensation, and case law indicates that misuse of images in sexual contexts can lead to stricter reactions.
    
2. With the introduction of new picture rules, we also want to emphasise that a certain degree of modesty can be a smart strategy in meetings between people, especially in large gatherings such as Cupido Club where the participants are often new to each other and may have very different starting points, interests and needs.
    
3. Our experience indicates that more restraint in the use of pictures on open pages can also be decisive for whether planned marketing measures to increase the proportion of women in Cupido Club and recruit new members in general will be successful.
    
4. Members' pictures are important for Cupido Club's image; they account for the most significant part of new members' first impressions and are the most eye-catching in the daily communication between members. When we now, at the same time as introducing new picture rules, also make changes to the profiling form and the user agreement, it is precisely to help make Cupido Club's image more tasteful.

Pictures published in members' open galleries, including profile picture/cover picture, must be approved by Cupido's moderators.

There may be several reasons why the picture was not accepted in your open gallery, or as a profile picture/cover picture:

1. The picture shows genitals
2. The picture is or is assumed to be copyright-protected (taken from other websites without you having the right to use it)
3. The picture is a photograph and shows recognisable people who are not the profile owner(s)
4. The picture is of you or others as children
5. The picture is sexually explicit
6. The picture is censored
7. The picture focuses on buttocks/breasts/crotch

Repeated attempts to upload/move obviously unacceptable pictures may result in the profile being blocked.

Where can I find the button?

The profile search button is found under the Cupido Club menu or under my profile in the right menu

Number of members shown in profile search only applies to those who have been active in the last 12 months.

First familiarise yourself with the profile search by looking at the content of the following tabs, links and maps:

• Preferences & Habits
• Body & Style
• More options
• Select country
• County

• You can narrow and expand your search with all the choices that members have ticked in their profiles.
• The choices are organised in the three tabs "Profile information", "Preferences & Habits" and "Body & Style". You will find even more choices in "More options".
• You can choose among members' countries by clicking on Select country.
• You can choose among counties in Norway by clicking on County, after you have selected Country Norway (Norway)

Profile search and Contact ad

To get the county list up in the search you must first choose the country Norway in the search.

[[BILDE: /media/1029/fylke.jpg?width=500&height=198.03600654664484]]

You can save the search so that the same search criteria come up automatically next time.

 How to blacklist another member?

• Open the profile of the person you want to blacklist
• More options
• Block
   

What happens when a profile is blacklisted?

• You cannot send a private message to the person you have blacklisted.
• The person you have blacklisted receives the following message when they try to open your profile: "You do not have access to this profile. You have been sent back to your own profile because the user you visited has blacklisted you."
• The person you have blacklisted cannot send a private message to you.
   

Can the person who blacklists also be blacklisted?
To prevent the person who blacklists from continuing to send messages to the person who is blacklisted, the person who is blacklisted is asked whether they also want to blacklist the person who blacklisted them. 


How to see who I have blacklisted?
Only you yourself can see who you have blacklisted.

• My profile
• My relationships
• Blacklist
   

How to remove a member from the blacklist?

• My profile
• My relationships
• Blacklist
• Remove

Everyone who is a VIP member can establish friend relationships with other VIP members. When you create your first friend relationship, you get a separate page in your profile with an overview of your friends. There you can see whether they are logged in or not, and you can open their profiles with a single click.

Your friend list can also be opened by other members via a separate tab (Friends) in your profile. Since who you are friends with can also tell more about yourself, it can be in both your own and other members' interest that others see who your friends are.

You can choose whether your friend list should be open or closed to other members.

Friend relationships can only be established between members who are VIP.

• Open the profile of the person you want to become friends with
• Click on Relationships
• Click on Friend request
• Personal message – Write a short message to the person you want to become friends with

What is a guestbook and who has access to it?
All VIP members have a guestbook in their profile. VIP members can write both in their own and other members' guestbooks. Feel free to write a welcome greeting in your own guestbook before others start writing in the book. Free members can read other people's guestbooks, but not write in them.
 
You can choose whether your guestbook should be open or closed to other members.

What happens to the guestbook when VIP membership is not renewed?

What is a favourite?
You can mark a page or a profile you have visited as a favourite to show other members what you like. The favourites are shown in your profile and can be a useful supplement to your profile description.

Sharing nude pictures of yourself:
In principle it is not illegal to send someone a picture of yourself naked. However, if you send nude pictures or lightly clothed pictures to someone who does not want them, it can be regarded as sexually offensive behaviour punishable by fines or imprisonment (Penal Code § 298).

The Data Protection Authority on your online rights

As a private individual you are not allowed to share other people's personal data (i.e. information or pictures) without having consent from the persons concerned. This applies regardless of whether it is open or closed forums online. You are also not free from responsibility when you redistribute what others have published, but have your own responsibility to check that the person the information concerns has actually given permission for the sharing.

If someone has published or shared pictures, films or other things about you without permission, you can follow these tips:

• Contact the person who shared the information. Do you know who posted the unwanted information about you? Contact them and ask that the information be removed.
• Contact those who own the website or app. If you do not know who posted the information, or they will not listen to you, you can contact the website (domain) where the information is published.
• Contact someone who can help. Slettmeg.no provides advice and help for the removal of unwanted information online. They have many good guides and deletion guides on how you can proceed to remove information yourself on various websites and applications.
• If you have tried everything above, but the person who published the information about you still will not remove it, you can contact the Data Protection Authority. Then attach any written correspondence you have with the person or persons who published something about you.
• The Conflict Council can also help you resolve deadlocked conflicts, whether they concern criminal offences or civil conflicts. They facilitate meetings where you yourselves through dialogue can find good solutions. The Conflict Council is a free state service for everyone of all ages. Contact your local Conflict Council for more information on how they can help you. Many cases of online harassment end up with the Conflict Council.
• Contact the police. If you believe that the information that has been published is so serious that it must be removed quickly, you should contact the police. Take screenshots and document who has shared, and where and when it was shared. Contact the police by calling 02800 or go to the nearest police station.

Consent means agreeing to or giving permission to do something. Good sex presupposes that both parties want each other and give each other consent to have sex. Here you can read about what sexual consent is, how you can give and receive consent, and the consequences of having sex without consent.
