10.PROFILES AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS
We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all Accounts are created in accordance with these Terms so that you can enjoy the Services we provide in a safe and reliable environment. For example, we check profiles manually to ensure that they are created in line with the Terms and request further verification documents where we reasonably suspect that a profile contains inaccurate information or has been created by a minor. We continue making manual audit checks to profiles throughout their life cycle to ensure that they continue to be used in compliance with the Terms. We also make sure to run all support tickets in a timely manner so that any issues our users encounter when using the Services are addressed quickly and efficiently.
Despite all efforts made from our end (some of which are described above), we cannot entirely control the actions of users carried out in violation of the Terms and/or the personal data and/or other information and/or content provided and/or published by such users on the Site and/or through direct communications with other users. As a result you may, from time to time, encounter users connected to Accounts which may have been created fraudulently or with the intent to defraud or drive you away from the Site or which may have been set up by computer programs with the intent to mimic human interactions (commonly known as bots).
In light of the above, you must ensure that you take all reasonable precautions in all your interactions with other users. You should never provide your personal or financial information, for example, your location or your credit card information to other users. Alternatively, you always have the option to block any user from contacting you again by using the ‘Block User’ functionality; by doing so you will be able to chat only with users with whom you will feel comfortable.
The Company operates system profiles (i.e. profiles connected to Accounts which have been created by the Company and which are either operated by contractors of the Company who impersonate the persons portrayed in such profiles or by a system designed to interact with users) and expressly reserves the right to chat with users through such system profiles in order to enhance the users’ entertainment experience. Physical contact with individuals behind such system profiles is strictly prohibited. The user further acknowledges that the Company may utilize and/or analyse the interactions the user has with such profiles in order to enhance his experience on the Site.
You recognise that we do not verify the information that other users provide to you, if any, is consistent with the registration details such users provide on their Account and are unable to confirm that any user is who he or she claims to be. We are not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other users and/or system profiles and encourage you to always use caution in selecting the information you share with others through our Site.

14. FEES
Creating an Account is free of charge.
In order to be able to communicate with other users you must spend coins. Such coins may be purchased in coin packages in prices displayed on the Site. In addition, the Company may in its absolute discretion provide the users with free or promotional coins from time to time. Free coins are not refundable and can be invalidated at any time.
The coins are virtual items that can only be purchased through the Site. Such coins may only be used for messaging and/or for purchasing any additional services that the Company may offer from time to time. Save in circumstances described in paragraph 17 below, coins are not refundable, cannot be transferred between Accounts and expire ninety (90) days after a user’s last visit to the Site.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, virtual items (including coins) purchased by the users will be licensed to them and the users acknowledge that no title or ownership of the virtual items will be transferred or assigned to them.
The coin balance in the users’ Accounts with respect to the virtual items does not represent a real world account balance and does not reflect any stored value.
The Company may offer other services on the Site which may be purchased through a direct payment rather than through the spending of coins. For the purposes of these Terms, any payment made by a user either for the purchase of a coin package or for any other purchase on the Site shall be referred to as a “Purchase”.
The prices on the Site include VAT, where applicable.
If you wish to make a Purchase, you may be asked to supply certain payment details relevant to the Purchase and the payment method used.
All funds are quoted in the currency in which they are displayed. Any charge incurred as a conversion fee will be borne by the user.
We reserve the right to change our pricing policy or the method or manner in which we charge for the Services at any time. Please note that we do not operate with recurring payments. Our users decide for themselves when and how often they want to buy a new coin package or any other Service on the Site.
15. PAYMENT METHODS
For your convenience, we allow you to fund your transactions using a number of different sources, like credit cards and debit cards. When you provide your payment details, you confirm that you are permitted to use such payment details. If your transaction results in an overdraft or other fee from your bank, you are responsible for the payment of such fee.
Payments with a credit or debit card are carried out through a 3D secure system, when such system is available by the relevant financial institution from which the payment is made.
When you fund a transaction, you authorise us (and our designated payment processor) to charge the full amount to the payment credential you designate for the transaction. We and our designated payment processor will collect and store the payment details, along with other related transaction information.
Some banks and credit or debit card issuers may charge you a processing fee. This processing fee is controlled and charged by your bank or card issuer and not by the Company. If your transaction results in the charge of processing fees, you are responsible for the payment of such fees.
16. DELIVERY POLICY AND CONFIRMATION RECEIPT
We deliver access to our Services digitally. A confirmation receipt for your purchase is sent to your email once your purchase has been completed successfully. Should you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact the support service of the Site, making reference to the order confirmation email you have received following completion of your purchase.
17. CANCELLATION, REFUND AND RETURN POLICY
The right of cancellation does not apply to any coins already spent.
Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 17, when the user requests the closing of his Account, any existing coin balance is NOT refunded.
If you need to cancel your Purchase, you should contact our Site as soon as possible, and in any case within the time period indicated below. Please be aware that any notice of cancellation, shall take effect upon its receipt by us.
You should be aware that you have a right to cancel any Purchase and obtain a refund provided that you:
a) exercise the aforementioned right within a fourteen (14) day period from the day of the Purchase;
b) indicate your intention of cancellation with a clear statement;
c) communicate your intention through the contact information as set out in paragraph 30 below and by additionally providing the details of your Purchase.
Once you have made a request for cancellation/refund you should stop spending any of the remaining coins in your coin balance. If you continue spending coins following your cancellation/refund request, the amount corresponding to the coins spent during such time will be deducted from the final refunded amount.
Refunds can only be made using the same means of payment that were used to place the original order as per the provisions of this paragraph.
We operate a “first-in, first-out” refund policy. This means that if, for example, you have initially purchased 200 coins and have subsequently earned another 200 free coins, the coins will be spent in the order they were received. Consequently, if you request a refund after you have spent 200 coins, your refund request will be rejected as all of your unspent coins will have been coins which were earned for free and which are not refundable. Please refer to paragraph 14 for further information on coins.
The Company reserves the right to refuse a refund request, if it reasonably believes or suspects: (i) that the user is trying to unfairly exploit this refund policy, (ii) that the user is in breach of these Terms, and/or (iii) that the user is using any of the Services fraudulently.
If the cancellation is successful, you will receive all payments you have made for the Purchase as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within fourteen (14) days from the date of cancellation.
Exceptions to the above refund policy may apply due to the nature of certain Services offered. In such cases, you will be notified of the exception prior to your Purchase and will be asked to agree to waiving your right to a refund.
18. COMPANY NOTIFICATIONS TO USERS
We may contact you via SMS, push notifications, system messages or email for Account verification, message notifications and other purposes related to the Services and/or the Site. We may also contact you in order to inform you about offers, updates and/or provide you with other promotional material, provided that we always give you the option to opt-out of such communications in the future.
While we do not charge a fee for SMS, your carrier may charge standard messaging, data, and other fees, for which you are responsible. We may send and receive text messages through cellular telephone operators or other networks, and the level of reliability may vary. We are not responsible for the timelines or final delivery of the message, as this is outside our control and it is the responsibility of the cellular telephone operator or other networks.
Unless specified otherwise in these Terms, any notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received on the next business day after transmission.
This paragraph does not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action or, where applicable, any arbitration or other method of dispute resolution.
