2 USE OF THIS SERVICE AND OUR ADDITIONAL SITES


2.1 Access to and use of the Service is subject to these Terms. By continuing to
access and use the Service, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.


2.2 dateblaster operates on a centralised platform which provides various dating
services and sites via various domains belonging to us. dateblaster operates
these various dating sites and services under other names and / or domains
(“Additional Sites”). In order to provide you with access to the largest
possible number of profiles, we allow you to access profiles on the Service and
on the Additional Sites. Likewise, users of those Additional Sites can also
access your profile published on this Service. Please note that registering on
this Service will mean that your profile will be made available on all of
dateblaster’s Additional Sites.


2.3 dateblaster’s Services are offered and you agree to only use the Service
(including any Additional Sites) exclusively for private, non-commercial
purposes.


2.4 dateblaster provides both free and fee-based Services. Free registration
enables the User to create a profile, view the profiles of other Users and send
predefined messages to other Users (“Free Membership”). Users who register for
the additional paid Service may, in addition to the free services, contact other
Users and send personalised messages to them (“Premium Membership”). Premium
Membership can be subscribed to for different periods of time (e.g. one month,
three months or six months). Before providing access to the benefits of Premium
Membership, the User shall be informed about the scope of the Services as well
as the price and terms of payment.


2.5 We may update these Terms from time to time for legal or regulatory reasons,
or to reflect changes in our services or practices. We endeavour to notify Users
by email of any material change that affects such Users. However, you should
regularly check this page to see if any changes have been made.


2.6 For Premium Membership Users, any changes will become effective from the
date of the User’s next payment following the change unless we notify such Users
otherwise. For Free Membership Users, any changes will become effective as soon
as we notify such Users of them or otherwise make them available on the Service.


2.7 If you continue to use the Service following any variation of these Terms,
then you will be deemed to have accepted such variation. If you do not agree to
such variation, you should stop using the Service.

Premium Membership for your breach of any of your obligations.

the applicable fees, the method of payment as well as the duration of ongoing
payment obligations. If you have subscribed to a one, three or six month Premium

Section 5 (Right to Cancel) or Section 6 (Termination), it will automatically
renew and your payment method will continue to be charged for each renewal
period.

pay all reasonable costs, including collection fees, incurred by us in
recovering the amounts you owe. We will send you several emails notifying you
that there are fees owed before appointing a debt collection agency. Please
ensure that if you wish to terminate your Premium Membership that you inform us
by following the procedure in either Section 5 or 6 below, otherwise we will
assume that you want to continue you with your Premium Membership.
