Companion agreement

Last updated 29 July 2026.

Thank you for offering to be someone's good company. Every companion accepts this agreement before being matched with anyone. It exists to keep both you and the people you meet safe.

What being a companion means

A companion offers warm, strictly platonic friendship — a regular chat, a listening ear, genuine human connection by call, video, text, or (where offered) in person. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or crisis work, and you are not acting as a licensed professional.

The agreement

• Independent. You take part as an independent volunteer/contributor, not an employee of Good Company. You're responsible for your own taxes and for following the laws where you live.
• Strictly platonic. Always a friendship — never romantic, sexual, intimate, escort, or "sugar" contact, and never with anyone under 18. Any such request is declined and reported.
• Confidential. What someone shares with you stays with you, except where safety requires telling us or the authorities.
• Never money between people. You never ask anyone you befriend for money, gifts, loans, or investments, and you don't take private payments. Paid bookings run only through Good Company's secure checkout.
• Keep contact on Good Company. First and early contact happens through the platform — not your private phone, address, or socials — especially in the first 90 days. This protects you as much as the people you meet.
• Safeguarding first. If someone is in danger or at risk of harm, help them reach people trained to help (see Safety & crisis resources) and tell us. Never try to be someone's only lifeline.
• Honesty & reviews. Be truthful about who you are. Companions are reviewed personally before matching, and this agreement can be paused or ended to protect the community.
• Your own safety. For any in-person meeting, meet in a public place first and trust your instincts. You can end any interaction at any time, for any reason.
