Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions together with the service as detailed in your Membership Agreement govern the sale and provision of the service and form the contract you are entering into between us and you. The price payable for the services is as set out on the Membership page. We take payment upon receipt of your order and accept no liability if services are delayed where payment is not received by us. If it is not possible to obtain full payment, then we may refuse to process your order and/or suspend services. By your purchase of a membership from us you agree to be bound by these Terms and conditions. You are entering into a contract based on these terms and conditions on the date we receive your first payment irrespective of whether you have signed the Membership Agreement supplied.
Membership
You are required not to be in a relationship and to provide us with true and accurate information, and we reserve the right to decline applications.
Your Service
Your matchmaking can commence after your profiling interview, and we have all the necessary documents from you including your approval of your dating profile. Your service may include additional services to matchmaking if specified in your Membership Agreement and if so, it is your responsibility to request these services during your membership. Any such additional services will not be available once your membership has ended.
We may charge £30 for each profile update you request after you approve your dating profile unless such updates are included within your Membership Agreement.
“Recommendations” as detailed on your Membership Agreement, are defined as profiles of others put forward to you for your consideration and will be selected with your partner preferences in mind. Recommendations will be put forward subject to availability and whilst you confirm you are still seeking a partner through our service. If you no longer wish to receive Recommendations from us, then we will not be required to supply any further Recommendations or to facilitate Introductions.
The number of Recommendations we will put forward depends upon your characteristics and how narrow or otherwise your partner preferences are. We reserve the right and absolute discretion to recommend others to you who we consider might be acceptable, notwithstanding that these persons may only match your partner preferences to a degree, as this approach has proved successful for many of our clients. You accept that those we recommend to you will not necessarily agree to proceeding further and/or to meeting you as the choices made by others is not within our control.
As we want to help create opportunities for members to meet each other, you may from time to time, be offered additional profiles as a “Bonus Match” based on other members’ partner preferences. In such instances we will make clear this is a Bonus Match and these will only then count towards the guarantees in your Membership Agreement if you choose to accept them.
Our matchmaking can include the sourcing of potential partners from beyond our current membership and we reserve the right to recommend to you others who may have been retained through these means and may not have paid a fee. However, all those we recommend to you from whatever source, will first have been ID verified and interviewed.
It remains entirely your responsibility to let us know whenever you would like to receive a Recommendation and we would not normally supply further Recommendations to you when you have indicated you do not wish to receive them. In such instances, the service may be suspended and then reactivated when you ask us to do so, provided there is still service time available, as detailed in your Membership Agreement.
We will fulfil our guarantee of supplying to you the number of Recommendations as specified in your Membership Agreement, even if where necessary, we need to extend the period of service. This guarantee is subject to no significant change in your own circumstances or partner preferences after your profiling interview likely to make matchmaking more difficult or impossible.
Conduct requirements
We will treat you and all members with courtesy and respect and expect and require the same from all members. You agree not to: harass, or cause a nuisance, inconvenience, distress or anxiety or violate the privacy of anyone we introduce you to.

Confidentiality
You must not discuss or show any details of other members that we have supplied to you, to any other members or non-members at any time during or after your membership as this would be a violation of privacy.

Suspending Membership
Should you experience the onset or exacerbation of a serious condition or suffer a serious injury, then at the company’s discretion, services may be suspended for up to 1 year, provided you let us know at the time of onset. Additionally, your service can be suspended by you if detailed in your membership agreement, for periods of at least one month and it remains solely your responsibility to inform us if you would like to reactivate your service.
