FriendshipUK Terms and Conditions1. IntroductionThis Agreement is a legal document, which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of FriendshipUK Limited, a company registered in England under registration no. 5059166 ("FriendshipUK ", "we" or "us"), in relation to this site and the services offered by FriendshipUK through it (the " FriendshipUK Service"). You must take the time to read and understand it, before registering for the FriendshipUK Service. By registering, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us on the terms of this Agreement. You should be aware that we reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time in accordance with Clause 23. Under this agreement FriendshipUK will:
People who register for the FriendshipUK Service become "Members". They must be at least 21 years of age and female. This service is for women only. We accept no liability for the actions of persons under 21 or male who may use this site. Members may:
When you decide to become a Member, and therefore pay our Membership fee, you are agreeing to take the Membership we make available to you promptly after that fee is paid. This means that you do not have the right to cancel your Membership during the cooling-off period, which is provided for certain purchases under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. Members have the option of paying their membership fee over the following periods:
If payment was made via NetBanx and cancellation was made through the website an automatic email will be sent to you and customer services and your subscription will be cancelled as soon as possible. Membership fees will automatically be debited from your Debit or Credit card or Payment method specified in your Paypal account, using our Paypal or NetBanx facility after the membership period expires, unless otherwise advised by the member. FriendshipUK reserves the right to change the amount of the Membership Subscription fee, the period which it covers, the services which it enables you to obtain and other factors from time to time. However, this will not affect your current Membership period. We may add new or ancillary services from time to time, which require the payment of fees either to a nominated third party or us on terms, which will be provided to you at the time. 4. Registration You undertake to register for the FriendshipUK Service using accurate and current information about yourself – including your correct name, address and any other requested details.
5. First Meetings & Events Through our services we organise first meetings and events, where FriendshipUK publishes venue and request for members to sign up to attend. 1st meetings are normally held in public venues or private enterprises such as pubs, wine bars and restaurants. Members agree to attend first meetings and event location once they sign up to attend. Members are allowed to cancel their attendance, but refunds will only be provided in line with our refund policy in clause 9 of this agreement. FriendshipUK will only attend all first meetings and some or none of other events orgnised by FriendshipUK or nominated 3rd party supplier. For the events FriendshipUK will not be attending, we will endevour to advise a meeting point at or near the published event venue. FriendshipUK is not responsible for the behaviour and actions of any individuals (Members and other people) present at the venue of a first meeting or event. As a result, we have no control over the identity or actions of the individuals who are present at these functions, and we request that our members exercise caution and good judgment when attending first meetings and events. It is important to note that FriendshipUK does not pre-screen members that join FriendshipUK. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members at first meetings and events and we do not monitor disputes between you and other members. FriendshipUK can make no guarantees that any member will successfully form new friendships, as a result of being a member and/or attending event(s). Nor do we accept any responsibility for any occurrence as a consequence of any meeting with or relationship formed with any such person as a result of attending an event arranged by FriendshipUK or nominated 3rd party. Members attending an event arranged by friendshipUK agree to abide by any laws, rules and regulations in operation at the venue, and not to cause injury, distress or offence to other members of the public or staff. Failure to do so may result in ejection from the event and/or withdrawal of membership, at the sole discretion of FriendshipUK. Members will be responsible for their transportation to and from first meeting and other events unless advised otherwise. FriendshipUK will organise some events that do not require prior bookings with the event supplier and members will make payment directly to the event supplier at the venue. I.e. an event organised to watch a film in a cinema, where members meet up and pay at the venue before watching the film. For these type of events FriendshipUK cannot guarantee sit availability and access to the event. 6. Services with Third Party Suppliers To provide diverse experiences, FriendshipUK has to engage the services of agents and or third party suppliers, such as experience companies, tour operator, hotel or a restaurant. This will mean that there might be additional terms & conditions governing the service/event, therefore the contract for the service may be between you and the supplier. 7. Event Cancellation, Rescheduling and Change in Venue FriendshipUK reserves the right to change a venue, cancel/reschedule a first meeting or event. First meetings will only take place if the number of members signed up to attend is four or more. However, at the discretion of FriendshipUK this number may increase or decrease. Events will only proceed if a reasonable number of members sign up to attend an event, the resonable number will be determined by FriendshipUK. In the event of FriendshipUK canceling an event without rescheduling, payment for the cancelled event will be refunded to all members who paid to attend the event.This does not incude the membership fee. Cancellations of events will be advised via emails to the members that have signed up to attend and via our website. Cancellation of events will be communicated to members as soon as possible, but in the event of circumstances beyond our control this advise may be made as late as 24 hours before the event or the date of the event itself. 8. Payment for events Members signing up to attend an event will make payment in full. Payments for an event may be made:
9. Refund policy In the event of a member cancelling an attendance to an event organised solely by FriendshipUK with no 3rd party involvement and where payment is made directly to FriendshipUK refunds will be made as follows:
The refund terms applicable to an event will be provided at the time of the published events. This refund policy is not applicable to the membership fee. Membership fee are non refundable. This refund policy is also applicable, regardless of when FriendshipUK publishes an event. 10. Privacy policy FriendshipUK's Privacy policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal data in that policy. As part of our service, we may pass your personal details to nominated 3rd party suppliers for the purpose of booking events you have signed up to attend. Your First name, username, photograph, DOB/Age, profile, interest and hobbies, supplied during registration may be published on our website for other members to view when viewing details of members that have signed up to attend a specific event.

Operation of FriendshipUK Services FriendshipUK reserves the right to withdraw or modify one or more aspects of the FriendshipUK service, or the entirety of it, where we have legal or commercial reasons to do so. There may also be times when the FriendshipUK Service becomes inaccessible as a result of technical difficulties experienced by FriendshipUK or on the Internet; we will, however, use reasonable skill and care to overcome these difficulties where they are within our control.
