We always notify you accordingly before you use any fee-based services, indicating which fees are applicable and the respective amount. We will charge your payment method (such as credit card or other debit card) for any fee-based subscription. You choose how long you want to subscribe to the service for. You can use the fee-based services after paying the appropriate fee.

5. Termination; Extension of the contract; Cessation of the service
5.1 Termination
When discussing termination, a strict distinction must be drawn between the free contractual relationship that comes into existence upon registration and the paid contractual relationship that comes into existence upon purchase of a paid service.
You are entitled to terminate the free contractual relationship with us at any time without stating your grounds for doing so.
We are entitled to terminate the existing free contractual relationship with you following a 14-day notice period. The right to terminate for good cause or to block you remains unaffected by this.
The paid contractual relationship must be terminated at least 14 calendar days before the respective duration of the contract expires or, if another period was specified upon purchase of the paid access, within the specified period. The termination of the paid contractual services is only effective if it takes place by means of an explicit, written declaration. To aid clear assignment and to protect against misuse, you must always specify your registration details as an absolute necessity.
Note: A paid contractual agreement cannot be terminated simply by deleting the profile. If you have purchased a paid service and delete your profile, the paid contractual relationship shall remain unaffected by this. If a service has been paid for but not used and you delete your profile, you are merely refusing to use the service. This means that you will receive no refund for the payment already made. As described above, the written form is always an absolute necessity for the termination of a paid contractual relationship.
After thirty (30) days from Your request for terminating this Agreement, Your account and Your information will be deleted permanently and will no longer be available on our Website."
After thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Written Termination Letter for terminating this Agreement, Your account and Your information will be deleted permanently and will no longer be available on our website.

5.2 Extension of the contract
The contract relating to a paid service is automatically extended by a period of time specified upon purchase provided that you do not terminate your contract in writing at least 14 calendar days before the respective contract duration expires, or, if another period was specified upon purchase of the paid access, within the specified period, giving your full registration details.
The rule may be deviated from in the case of trial subscriptions, advertising campaigns and similar. For these too, you are informed of the duration of the trial subscription, the option to terminate and the automatic extension that occurs failing exercise of this option in each case.
When purchasing a paid service, you are informed, upon receipt of the order confirmation, of the relevant duration, the start date of the contract and the duration of the extension applicable if no termination is made on time. You will be sent payment confirmation e-mail, which contains your payment reference. You must keep a copy of this information as this may be required if you wish to cancel your payment agreement.
For trial offers your subscription will renew automatically based on the period equal to the first full subscription agreed upon after the trial and will continue to be renewed unless cancelled or suspended by you. Subscriptions will be billed periodically on the same day of the month as the first payment unless the transaction is not successful, in which case it will be tried again at a later date. The subscription fees for the service may be changed by the Website at any time (e.g. due to VAT changes, etc.) with effect to the next renewal period. We’ll inform you about the changed renewal price and your extraordinary right for termination if you disagree with the new price. If you are unhappy with any subscription fee changes you may terminate your membership by sending us the signed service suspension request form.
Discounted subscription fees for special offers apply only to the initial payment. Further recurring payments will be charged at normal published prices unless specified in the said offer.
5.3 Cessation of the service
We are entitled to cease providing the services offered in full or in part. We will inform you of the planned cessation and its scope ahead of time, at least 14 days before the full or partial cessation of the services. If you have paid for, but not yet fully exhausted an entitlement to the Service at the time of the cessation, you will receive a pro-rated refund for this non-exhausted entitlement, or an equivalent extension of your subscription period.

All rights to programs, services, processes, software, technologies, brands, trade names, inventions and materials that belong to us shall remain exclusively ours. We are the owner of all rights of use for the above-mentioned rights. The use of all programs and the content, materials, brands and trade names contained therein are only permissible for the purposes specified in these GTC. Any reproduction of the programs, services, processes, software, technologies, brands, trade names, inventions and materials belonging to us are not permissible unless expressly authorized by us.
8. Liability
8.1 Direct contact is only established between our customers following mutual agreement. We are therefore not liable in the event that no such contact is established within the duration of the agreement. However, we endeavor to mediate contact between our customers by providing the technological means to this end.
8.2 We are not liable for the misuse of data and information as the possibility exists, despite its explicit prohibition, that you may use the Service in an improper or illegal manner. Furthermore, we are not liable in the event that information made accessible to a third party by you is misused by this third party.
8.3 We make no guarantee that the service will operate properly at all times, i.e. that it will be constantly available without interruption. In particular, we are not liable for faults in technical equipment or in the quality of access to the service due to force majeure or events beyond the control of us (e.g. failure of communication networks).

8.6 In the event of injury to life, body or health or in the case that we have breached material contractual obligations we are also liable for slight negligence. Liability in the latter case is limited to foreseeable, direct losses typical to this type of contractual relationship. In any event, our liability to you is limited, to the extent allowed by applicable law, to the aggregate amount of all fees you have paid to us in the 6 months period prior to the event causing our liability.
8.7 In case you would encounter anyone (online or offline) by using our Service, we are not liable for any harm that such person may inflict upon you, since it will be your sole responsibility to take all necessary precautions to avoid such mishap from happening. You acknowledge that it is impossible for us to screen the personal history of every member signing up to use the Service.
8.8 Liability is otherwise excluded.
9. Objections
9.1 Any objections to the amount charged or billed and must be raised and justified in writing to Dating Factory within six (6) weeks of the queried charge being made or the invoice being received. If you do not raise any justified objections within this 6-week period, the charged or invoiced costs shall be deemed as approved. For the avoidance of doubt, non-usage of the service, if the service has been available, is not a justified objection.
If a justified objection is raised, the legitimate account claimed will be reimbursed to you or, optionally, you will be offered an extension of the paid service. This extension will be for the period for which you raised the justified objection.
You also have the right to set us a grace period of five working days for proper performance. If the cause of the complaint is not resolved by the end of this grace period, you have the right to terminate the contract.
Mere immaterial interference to the service does not entitle you to a complaint. An immaterial interference to a paid service occurs when the period during which you are unable to use the paid service does not exceed two consecutive days.
You can only offset or assert a right of retention on the basis of your own claim against us if this claim is legally established, uncontested or recognized.
9.2 Where a transaction is validly disputed by you, the credit or payment to us for such transaction may be reversed (a “Chargeback”) should your claim be deemed justified. A chargeback is initiated with and decided by the relevant card issuer or credit institution after due verification has been done, which you undertake to comply with. A list of some common reasons for chargebacks includes
- unauthorised or improperly authorised transactions
- you do not recognise the charge
- you were charged twice or
- transactions which have not been incurred or processed in accordance to these terms and conditions or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious
- complaints made by yourself to the credit or financial institution with which you have a contractual relationship with.
9.3 In case of a chargeback or reversal approval, we will refund you the full amount of the applicable subscription fee being disputed and which have been deemed to warrant a chargeback.
9.4 In terms of these T&C you are hereby agreeing, at our request, to provide reasonable assistance in relation to any disputed payment transactions, including the verification of any transactions carried out in relation to the services being contracted from us.
9.5 You hereby undertake not to try to fraudulently make a claim for a chargeback. We hereby further clarify that we retain the option to not renew your subscription or to not re-accept you as a client should you have made one or more requests for chargebacks which the company deems to have been fraudulent or unwarranted.
9.6 In cases of non-payment or a default on payment by you, we reserve the right to commission a debt collection agency and demand that you pay your fees. We also reserve the right to levy interest for arrears in an amount based upon legal provisions.
9.7 We also reserve the right to levy interest for arrears in an amount based upon legal provisions, and/or an amount of 10% per year.
