Session Expectations & Etiquette
Clear expectations help Accompany sessions feel natural, respectful, and comfortable for everyone.
Accompany is designed around platonic shared experiences, thoughtful communication, and socially comfortable interactions.
When Sessions Usually Begin
Most sessions begin when both parties meet at the agreed location and time. A little clarity beforehand makes everything feel more relaxed.
Sessions begin at the agreed time
Most sessions begin when both parties arrive at the agreed location. Companions are generally not considered 'on session' while traveling to the meeting point.
Discuss timing before the session
If you have specific timing needs — like arriving early or coordinating arrival — communicate those expectations clearly ahead of time.
Clear communication reduces confusion
A brief pre-session message outlining the plan and meeting details helps both parties feel prepared and comfortable from the start.
How Sessions Usually End
Most sessions end naturally once the planned activity or booked time concludes. There is no complicated goodbye or expectation beyond the experience itself.
Sessions end at the booked time
Your session concludes when the agreed duration ends or the activity naturally concludes — whichever comes first.
No obligation beyond the session
Companions are not expected to provide additional time beyond what was booked. Their commitment ends when the session does.
Extensions are always mutual
If both parties are enjoying the experience, additional time may sometimes be arranged — but only through mutual agreement and never assumed.

Event Tickets & Admission
Many Accompany sessions involve shared experiences that require admission or tickets. In these situations, users are generally expected to cover the companion's participation in the agreed activity.
If your session involves a ticketed activity, plan to cover the companion's admission as part of the experience. When in doubt, confirm this expectation before booking.
Meals, Drinks & Shared Activity Costs
Most sessions work best when expectations around shared activity costs are communicated clearly ahead of time.
Generally covered by the user
Discuss unusual expenses beforehand
Larger or unexpected costs — like transportation, multi-day activities, or special access — should always be agreed upon before the session.
Clarity creates comfort
Addressing expense expectations in your pre-session message removes any awkwardness on the day and helps both parties feel relaxed.
Keep it proportional
Standard activity costs are normal and expected. Neither party should feel financially pressured beyond what was agreed.
Respectful Communication Matters
Clear communication and mutual respect help create positive experiences for everyone.
Be clear with plans
Companions appreciate knowing the plan ahead of time. Major surprises or last-minute changes can create unnecessary discomfort for both parties.
Kindness goes a long way
Treating your companion as a professional and a person — not a service transaction — creates a noticeably better experience for everyone.
Keep it platonic
Accompany is a platonic platform. Romantic or sexual expectations are not permitted and will result in removal from the platform.
Use the platform for all communication
Messaging should stay within Accompany before and during the booking process. This protects both parties and keeps interactions verifiable.
Not permitted on the platform
Boundaries & Personal Comfort
Both users and companions should feel comfortable communicating boundaries respectfully throughout the experience.
Companions can end sessions
If a companion feels unsafe or uncomfortable, they have the right to end the experience. Accompany fully supports this and takes companion wellbeing seriously.
Users can end sessions too
You are never obligated to continue an experience that feels off. Either party can respectfully conclude the session if needed.
Accompany is always platonic
This is a professional platform for shared social experiences. Romantic or sexual expectations are not permitted, ever.
Public first meetings are encouraged
Meeting in a public location for your first session is strongly encouraged and considered best practice for everyone's comfort and confidence.
Ending Sessions Respectfully
Most Accompany sessions end naturally and comfortably once the planned experience concludes.
End on time
Sessions should conclude at the agreed end time unless both parties have mutually agreed to extend. Respecting the companion's time is important.
A simple thank you
A warm, genuine thank you is entirely appropriate. You are not expected to maintain contact or extend the relationship beyond the session.
Leave a review
Reviews help future users and companions feel more confident booking experiences on the platform. Honest, respectful feedback is always appreciated.
