Matchmaking
The following section relates to Ratemydateni matchmaking and governs the sale and provision of the matchmaking service.
The price payable for the services are inclusive of any applicable VAT.
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 and agree to them on the date we receive your first payment and any use of the services thereafter.
MEMBERSHIP
We use the term membership to cover the period from when you sign up and pay for your consultation and at all times thereafter.
We assume and require that you are not in a relationship at the beginning of your membership and throughout the duration of your membership with us. We also require you to provide us with true and accurate information, and we reserve the right to decline any application without notice.
Whilst all members are ID verified and interviewed via our consultation, we accept the information provided to us is given in good faith.
If it is revealed to be subsequently untrue or in some way misleading to the detriment of other members we reserve the right to terminate your membership with immediate effect. This will also affect your use of any service provided by Ratemydateni, including but not limited to Speed Dating and Singles Events.
We do not conduct initial or regular background checks on any members however we do ask all members to declare any unspent criminal convictions. This refers to any criminal convictions that are active on a person’s record as an unspent conviction. We do not accept members who have unspent criminal convictions on their criminal record.
We strongly advise you to verify the information of others for yourself beyond what we supply and we cannot accept any liability for the validity of the information we provide.
Your safety is really important to us, and therefore we advise that you read our Date Safety guide which you will receive via email from us. We also advise that you take the same sensible precautions when meeting members as you would when meeting a new person.
Your subscription period will commence after a profiling consultation and when we have all the necessary documents.
We may charge £10 for each profile update you request after you submit your dating profile.
If you need to rearrange a consultation you must let us know no later than 6 hours before the time of your consultation. If you cancel within the 6 hours prior to your consultation time and date we reserve the right to cancel your consultation and membership without refund.
“Recommendations” are defined as profiles of other people put forward to you for your consideration. If you are a member with a currently active Premium or Deluxe membership then these will be selected with your partner preferences in mind. If you are a member with a currently active basic package then recommendations will be chosen with a best effort approach to your preferences.
Recommendations will be put forward subject to availability and will continue throughout the course of your subscription period and whilst you confirm you are still seeking a partner through our service.
Ratemydateni will endeavor to supply you with the number of recommendations as specified in our membership plans however at times this may not be possible due to current membership availability or other reasons. By accepting these terms and conditions you agree to the possibility that Ratemydateni may not provide any, or only a partial amount of recommendations in relation to your membership.
If you no longer wish to receive recommendations from us, then we will not be required to supply any further recommendations or to facilitate any introductions.
Ratemydateni take no responsibility for ensuring member contact details are accurate and correct.
The number of recommendations we will put forward depends upon your subscription and the average amount per subscription plan will vary based on your membership plan. These recommendations will also depend upon your characteristics and how narrow or otherwise your partner preferences may be. We reserve the right and complete discretion to recommend others to you who we may consider an acceptable potential partner, notwithstanding that these profiles may only match your partner preferences to a certain but not complete degree.
You accept that those persons that we do 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 recommendations’ also referred to as ‘Wilcard recommendations’ based on other members’ partner preferences. In such instances we will make clear this is a bonus recommendation and these will only then count towards the guarantees in your membership if you choose to accept them.
Our matchmaking can include the sourcing of potential partners from outside our current membership and we reserve the right to recommend others to you who may have been retained through these means and may not have paid a fee to us for membership. However, as with every person we interact with or recommend to you from whatever source, will first have been ID verified and had a consultation with ratemydateni.
As a member it is entirely your responsibility to let us know whenever you would not like to receive any further recommendations and we would not normally supply further introductions to you when you have indicated you do not wish to receive them.
If you have an active Deluxe membership and wish to pause it then it is your responsibility to inform us and ensure we have confirmed receipt of your request. Your membership will only be reactivated when you ask us to do so, provided there is still service time available. If you have not informed us of your intention to resume your membership after 3 months from the date we have confirmed your membership is paused, then we shall consider your membership inactive. We will not continue to provide recommendations beyond this and any resumption of the service will require a new membership plan.
If we are unable to supply any recommendations during the course of these memberships we may offer an extension to your membership if we believe we can fulfill this within the granted extension period. The extension period is at the discretion of ratemydateni and is typically one month.
Our ability to provide you with a recommendation is also subject to no significant change in your own circumstances or partner preferences after your consultation which may be likely to make matchmaking more difficult or impossible.
RETENTION OF MATCHMAKING DATA
