Article 3 - Operation of the Service

Once his account has been created, the User has access to the Service. By default, the User has access to limited services. To have access to a broader range of services, each user has the possibility of opting in to a paid service; to do this he must take out a subscription. There may also be paid functions to which the user subscribes through a fee-for-service.


Article 4 - Subscription to paid services & payment methods

4.1 Subscription to paid services

Once his account has been created, the User may, if he wishes, subscribe to the service. Subscription has the advantage of providing access to a broader range of services and opportunities on the Service. Each type of subscription is described on the payment page that accompanies it: price, available features, duration. The prices indicated on the Service are in Euros inclusive of tax for countries in the Euro zone.

4.2 Payment of the subscription

The subscription is paid by credit card with our payment provider, which is responsible for receiving your payment. By going through our payment provider, you must accept the terms of use and general conditions of service of our payment provider. Accordingly, any subscription to the Service sold is binding and final. Moreover, any subscription period started is due in full.

4.3 Renewal of a subscription

To avoid any interruption to your service, your subscription will be automatically renewed for a new period identical to that you chose when you subscribed to the paid service. Thus, unless you request a cancellation, you will continue to benefit from the service based on the price of your current subscription. Your subscription will be automatically renewed until you expressly notify your desire to cancel your current subscription pursuant to the conditions described in this article, in the "Termination" paragraph.

4.4 Termination of your subscription

You may cancel your subscription at any time by clicking on the "Stop My Subscription" link found on your account management page, before the expiry of your subscription period.

Even after doing this, you will still be able to use the Service until your subscription expires. Please that there will be no refund if you decide to discontinue your subscription, because the service will continue to be available until the end of the subscription period. Any request for cancellation will be deemed made on the full day after receipt.

Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Service may terminate your account without notice in the event of a breach on your part; the terms of discretionary termination differ depending on the seriousness of the breach. This termination will be carried out without prejudice to any damages that may be claimed by the Service from the User for damages suffered as a result of such breaches.

Termination for simple breach: A simple breach is when the user breaches or has breaches with any other provision of these conditions of use excluding those contained in Articles 2 and 7 (serious breach).

In this event, the Service will first send an email to the User who is guilty of the breach. If the latter fails to provide an answer to the email and/or persists in his breach, his account will be terminated within 2 working days.

Termination for serious breach: A serious breach is when the user breaches or has breached one of the provisions of Articles 2 and 7 of these general conditions of use.

In this case, the termination is immediate, and the user has no right to claim any refund for the period remaining until the next subscription expiry date.

The publisher of the Service reserves the right to take legal action against any person who has caused harm (of any nature) to another user of the Service or to the company itself.


Article 5 - Pricing of the Service and Customer Service

To use all or part of the Service, members must, in some cases, subscribe to a paid plan which, whatever its length, gives unrestricted access to all of this Service and for the duration of the package. When the member subscribes to a package, his credit card is charged the amount of his subscription. Transactions handled by our payment provider are secure and confidential. The member may consult his transactions history in the "My Account" section after logging into the Service using his personal access credentials.

5.1 Available packages

For unlimited access to all functions, the Service offers you various packages. The price and durations may vary from one pack to another. The Member who wishes to subscribe has to select the packages he wishes to subscribe too. By validating the subscription, the member acknowledges being fully informed of the price, the frequency of payment as well as the various payment methods proposed before purchase. The available packages and the pricing conditions can be changed at any time without changing the initial subscription conditions of an already inscribed member.

The editor of the Service occasionally offers discovery packs for a limited time and at a reduced rate. The trial period gives you unlimited access to the entire Service (excluding any paid options). Subscription to a trial pack implies that the Member has understood and accepts the pricing conditions, as well as the automatic renewal conditions at the full rate once the trial period is over. Unless if, un subscription has been done within the deadline period. For packages lasting for more than two months, the service editor may decide to request monthly payments as of the second renewal.

5.2 Right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal may not be exercised for contracts for the provision of services that have been fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and whose performance began with the User's consent. The User is informed that logging in with his username and password is a key element of his full use of the Service and that in this case, this therefore constitutes a voluntary performance of the contract between the Service and the User. And as this is a virtual service, the User cannot invoke his right of withdrawal to request the reimbursement of his subscription. That being said, customer service has discretion as to whether to refund a User who is not satisfied with the proposed service, well beyond the legal period usually allowed for a customer’s right of withdrawal.

5.3 Contacting the Customer Service Department

Article 6 - Liability & Obligations of the Service

6.1 General liability

The Service is an online service dedicated to virtual dating between individuals for strictly personal purposes. As the company provides this service remotely, it is expressly reiterated that the Service is solely an intermediary between its Users and provides its Users, with means of communication and features tending to allow them to meet more easily.

The Service is in no way bound by or committed to any results in this respect. The virtual and automated nature of the service cannot guarantee and attest to the actual intentions of Users between themselves or even the veracity of the information they provide or their actual identity.

Whether a romantic relationship, a friendly relationship, or a fun and short-lived relationship, in any event the Service does not engage in any activity of marriage counselling or broking. Thus, the Service is not an organizer of "real" dates, a provider of Internet access or a telephone subscription.

Under no circumstances may the publisher be held liable for messages or information exchanged through the Service. Each User expressly recognizes that, by the mere fact of using the Service, he may be exposed to inaccurate, shocking, indecent or negative content. As a mere host, the Service may not be held liable for the distribution of such Content.

Likewise, the Service waives any liability for meetings between Users, whether they take place on the Service or during "actual" meetings outside the Service.

Physical meetings between users: we recommend Users take the greatest care when it comes to their first physical meetings. It is highly recommended to meet in a public place rather than a private one, and insofar as possible to be accompanied at the first meeting.

Solicitation of other Users: we also recommend the greatest vigilance regarding any request for money or solicitations from unscrupulous Users of this Service. Everyone is recommended (especially) not to respond to such a request. We also invite our users to report any request that seems abnormal and that our team of moderators may have overlooked.

6.2 Technical Responsibility

The equipment providing access to the Service is the sole responsibility of the User, as are the telecommunications costs (Internet subscriptions, telephone, ...) necessary for the use of the Service.

The connection, use and participation in the Service imply, for the User, complete knowledge and awareness of the limits of the Internet for all matters concerning the technical aspects of data transfer, protection against viruses and other limitations of the Internet.

  • change of the Service program resulting in an update and/or a temporary unavailability of the Service,
  • any loss of data or settings of the User,
  • consequences of, and damage caused by, a computer virus,
  • connection problems encountered by the Service participant,
  • external advertising URLs found on the pages of the Service,

Moreover, the Service’s liability cannot be incurred in the event of (non-exhaustive list):

  • modification, suspension, cancellation or postponement without notice or justification on its part, of one or more features offered on the Service. In such a case, the Service’s liability cannot be incurred in any way as a result, and Users cannot claim any compensation,
  • conduct of one of the Users contrary to law, morality and public order.

In any event, the Service’s liability towards the User can be incurred only for acts that are directly attributable to it and is in any event limited to the amount of the subscription paid the month prior to the event in question. It cannot be held liable for indirect damages. Nor can the Service’s liability be incurred due to the misuse of the Service by the User.

Moreover, the User is hereby informed that, given the characteristics of the Internet, the data transmitted is not protected against the risk of misappropriation and/or piracy, which the Service will not be held liable for.
