Terms and Conditions        

Please read these carefully. They will form the basis of the contract between us.

Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions apply to all members and the services provided by friendsfirst. friendsfirst's employees or agents are not authorised to make any representations in relation to the service/s provided by friendsfirst which exceed representations made in published friendsfirst literature, and the member acknowledges that he or she does not rely upon and waives any breach of such representation which excludes any representations made in this contract.

Objects

The object of membership is to allow paid up members the opportunity of gaining new friends. However because each member can choose whether or not to make contact, friendsfirst cannot guarantee any contact with other members. Further friendsfirst does not accept responsibility for any inaccuracies or misprints in any member's profile. Each member is responsible for ensuring the information supplied is correct.

Membership

Membership is open to single Christians who are residents of the UK and Ireland only. To be eligible to join applicants should be Christian believers who associate themselves with a mainline Christian denomination. Membership is for the purposes of meeting members of the opposite sex and is not open for same gender contact although it is recognised that friendships may be made between the same genders at social events/holidays. Completing an application form does not guarantee membership. Membership is provided once the application form has been assessed, the relevant proof of identification has been submitted, and both have been deemed suitable. Membership is entirely at friendsfirst discretion.

Register

Members profiles will be kept on a computer data base and it is accepted by each member on membership that all his or her details may be released to other members except those details which the member has requested should be kept confidential. Should any member require that any data supplied be kept confidential then the member must specifically note this on their profile form. In the absence of any written request it is implied by each member that his or her personal details, except for their address, and telephone number (where specified), may be released to other members on request.

Liability

friendsfirst shall not be liable for any damage, injury or risk associated with, or caused by, membership. Further friendsfirst shall not be liable for any misrepresentation or client errors or for any loss of data or profile details recorded incorrectly. friendsfirst shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any members and members are entirely liable for the information they supply. As a member of friendsfirst you are responsible for the interaction you create with other members and friendsfirst shall not be liable for the consequences of any dispute, or any other event (whether arising from false or inaccurate information or any other cause) originating from or during interaction between members. At its discretion friendsfirst reserves the right to intervene in a dispute between members of friendsfirst, and on behalf of one or other member.

Admission

Admission as a member is not guaranteed and if friendsfirst decide to reject any application for membership a full refund will be provided if any monies have been paid. Member's profile lists will only be sent to members following the membership fee having been received by friendsfirst.

Termination of Membership

friendsfirst may terminate the membership of a member if his or her renewal subscription has not been paid within 14 days after it became due. A member whose membership is terminated for non-payment may be readmitted to membership upon payment of all arrears and any charges incurred by friendsfirst.

Cessation of Membership

A member may cease to be a member of friendsfirst by resignation, which must be notified to friendsfirst in writing accompanied by all subscriptions due to the date of such resignation. Cessation may further occur by suspension or expulsion by friendsfirst at any time during membership and in this case no refunds will be given. Refunds are not normally given and are only considered after a full years membership has expired. Refunds for subsequent payments made originally by standing order will only be given on a pro rata basis.

Conduct

Membership of friendsfirst is conditional upon the member showing respect to other members and responsibility in all dealings with them. If a member breaches this condition or if friendsfirst has reasonable grounds for believing that a member represents a danger or threat to the safety of any other member, friendsfirst reserves the right to notify the relevant authorities, and to revoke membership without returning any paid membership fee. friendsfirst may reprimand, or suspend or expel from membership any member who is in breach of the above said terms and conditions or whose conduct (in the sole opinion and discretion of the proprietor), is prejudicial to the interests of friendsfirst or whose conduct renders him unfit for membership.

Rules

friendsfirst may vary the above Terms and Conditions upon reasonable notice. Interpretation In these rules references to the masculine include the feminine and where appropriate the singular the plural and the headings are for ease of reference only and are not to be taken into account in their interpretation.
