This profile is then validated by reception of an e-mail and relative confirmation. After the account is validated, the User must upload a photo in order to have a Public Profile on the Site (for uploading tips see the FAQ, available here). In the Profile the User can enter the Contents that concern him/her, making changes at any time, with a dedicated page for photos (both public and private). The Site allows the User to carry out a number of activities through his/her Profile (such as, but not limited to, sending messages to other Users, searching for Users located in the same city, searching for similar profiles) some of which are available only to Users who purchase a Subscription. The list of activities that can be performed and are available to the User can be seen in the summary section of the Profile. The User recognises and accepts that only through his/her Profile will he/she will be able to use the Services of the Site, for example searching for other Users through the Search function, viewing messages in the chats, and that his/her Profile can be viewed by other Users. To use the Services, the User must have applications and made the necessary settings for the correct functioning of the Service, for example and not exhaustively:
IE10 or higher browser
activation of JavaScript functions
receipt of session cookies and acceptance of the display of pop-up windows
The Company does not guarantee that the Services can be used if the User uses a popup window-blocking utility. Such a function must be disabled before using the Service. Furthermore, the User must have the competence, equipment and applications required to use the Internet or, possibly, Internet and telephone services, and recognise that Internet features and constraints allow him to guarantee the protection, availability and integrity of data transmissions via the Internet. In view of these conditions, the Company does not guarantee that the services will work without interruptions or malfunctions. In particular, their use may be temporarily interrupted for maintenance, updating, technical improvements, modification of contents or of site presentation. Whenever possible, the Company will inform the Members in advance of maintenance or updating operations. Likewise, the Company cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions, lack of access or poor usage conditions of the Site that may be attributable to an unsuitable device, malfunctions inside the User's Internet provider, Internet traffic and any other reason beyond the Company's control. At the time of registering, a questionnaire will be given to outline the desired profile of the person being sought. These data, in addition to other personal data, will be recorded in the Company 's database, and can be compared with the data of all other Company users in order to provide information on the compatibility of two members, based on the Company's proprietary algorithm. Based on the comparison of the User's profile with the data of all other members contained in the database, the User will receive a list of users with whom he/she might be compatible. All of the supplied information will in any case be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy provided.
3.2 Purchase of Subscription
These terms apply only to purchases made via credit or debit card.
3.2.1 The Site includes some services that can only be accessed upon payment of the Rate Plans and acquisition of the Subscription. The User acknowledges and agrees that he will have the chance to use the Subscription Services of the Site only upon purchase of the Subscription. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Services will be activated following payment of the Subscription. The costs of the various subscription types are shown on the purchase pages, and will be viewed by the User before each payment. The User expressly acknowledges and accepts that the Company may change the costs of the types of subscriptions at any time, also with reference to Users already registered and / or subscriptions in progress.
The User expressly acknowledges and accepts that, at the time of each payment made through the Site, together with the amount indicated on the purchase pages, sales tax (or other similar taxes that may be applicable to a specific payment, except where these are not provided for) will also be charged, calculated on the basis of the information provided by the User directly and/or indirectly (by way of example but not limited to, through the IP address or information relating to the means of payment used). The amount of taxes paid will in any case be clearly indicated in the summary of the purchase.
The User authorises the Company to charge the total of the above-mentioned amounts. Costs may vary based on current promotions and special offers. The proposed subscription plans all include automatic renewals upon expiry of the relative Contract.
In order to correctly identify the taxes to be charged, Users further expressly acknowledge and accept that (i) Users that are ordinarily resident outside the European Union may only purchase paid services in the country in which they ordinarily reside, while (ii) Users that are ordinarily resident in the European Union may only purchase paid services within the European Union. If paid services are subject to sales taxes under these GENERAL TERMS in the country to be considered for taxation purposes and the User has failed to pay them by not providing correct information on the country from which the purchase takes place, the User shall be liable for their payment and for any penalties, outstanding payments or interest due to the competent tax authorities.

The subscribed User has access to a dashboard in the Profile, in which there is a summary of the status of the Subscription, through which he/she can manage payment methods.
3.2.2 The contract entered into by the Company and the User shall be deemed to be concluded with the Company's acceptance, full or partial, of the order. By placing an order in the various ways provided, the User declares he/she has read all the information provided herein and/or during the purchase procedure, and fully accepts the general and payment terms and conditions given below. If the User is a consumer (i.e. a natural person who registers for purposes that do not relate to his or her professional activity meaning that he/she does not make the purchase by indicating on the order form a VAT number as defined in Article 3, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Italian Consumer Code - hereinafter the "Consumer"), once the online purchase procedure has been completed, the Company shall send him or her by e-mail, inter alia, the link to these Conditions, which the User shall print or save and in any case preserve, in accordance with the provisions of the current Italian Consumer Code. All rights of the User shall be excluded for damages or indemnification, as well as any contractual or extra liability for direct or indirect damage to persons and/or property caused by the Company's full or partial non-acceptance of an order.
3.2.3 Purchase methods. The User can purchase the Subscription Services through the Site. The correct receipt of the order is confirmed by the Company through a receipt that will be available in the payment area of the user profile. This confirmation message will contain, in addition to the link to these Terms of Sale, the Date and Time of execution of the order and a 'Customer Order Number', to be used in any further communication with the Company. The message repeats all the data entered by the User who undertakes to verify its correctness and communicate any corrections to make promptly, according to the methods described herein. In the event of non-acceptance of the order, the Company will communicate the decision to the User in a timely manner.
3.2.4 Right of withdrawal. By registering for Subscription Services, the User expressly declares and agrees to waive the right of withdrawal in accordance with Art. 59 of the Italian Consumer Code which states: "The right of withdrawal provided for in Articles 52 to 58 for distance and off-premises contracts is excluded in respect of [...] o) the supply of digital content by means of a non-material medium if the performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and his acknowledgement that, if so, he would have lost his right of withdrawal".
3.2.5 Conditions for purchases.
Website purchases can be made via following payment methods: Credit Card or Debit Card.
After purchasing, the User authorises us to use the chosen payment method.
In the event of registration to the Service via Credit Card payment or Debit Card upon the conclusion of the online
transaction, the reference bank will authorise only the amount relating to the purchase made.
The relative amount will actually be charged to the credit or debit card(s) entered by the User when registering or at a later time,
these can be managed/viewed completely independently by the User in the appropriate section of the Site.
The card update procedure may require card verification with a possible charge of €1.
The method of payment can be made via a single payment for the entire amount or for a portion thereof through multiple payments
until the total amount of the purchased subscription is paid off (the amount of these fractional charges are €2.49, €4.99, and up to a maximum of €9.99).
In the event of cancellation of the order, if the Company does not accept the order, the Company will
promptly request the cancellation of the transaction and release of the committed amount. For some
card types, release times depend exclusively on the banking system, and can arrive at their natural
expiration (24th day after the authorisation date). Once the transaction has been cancelled,
the User acknowledges and expressly agrees that in no case can
the Company be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, caused by
a delay by the banking system in the failure to release the amount committed. The Company reserves
the right to request additional information from the User (e.g. landline
phone number) or to send copies of documents proving ownership of the Card or other payment methods used: In particular, the
User hereby acknowledges and accepts that the Company may be required, on the basis of the
agreements with the banks providing the payment systems, as well as by virtue of the regulations in
force, to verify that the User is the actual owner of the means of payment that
he/she declares he/she intends to use for the purposes of payment of the Fees. In the absence of the
required documentation, the Company reserves the right to refuse the
order. At no time during the purchase process is
the Company able to know the information relating to the buyer's
credit card, transmitted via secure connection directly to the Site of
the bank managing the transaction. These data will not be kept in any of the Company 's archives.
Under no circumstances can the Company be held liable for any
fraudulent or improper use of credit cards by third parties at the time of payment. For further
information on the processing of the purchaser's credit card or other payment methods information, please read the policy
provided by the bank.
3.3 Automatic renewal of the Subscriptionn. The User who has made the payment via credit or debit card acknowledges and expressly accepts that upon expiry of the scheduled period, the Subscription will be automatically renewed under the same purchase terms, barring ongoing promotions.

At least 30 days before the expiry of type C subscription;
At least 60 days before the expiry of type D subscription.
Automatic renewal does not apply to purchases made through PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The User acknowledges and accepts that it is necessary to indicate the username or e-mail address used during registration, otherwise the cancellation request is void, as it does not allow the User to be identified. The User therefore expressly accepts and authorises the LooveDate manager to automatically renew the subscription - and continue with payments according to the method chosen by the User when purchasing the subscription plan, without the User having to re-enter the details of their payment method - in the absence of cancellation as per the terms and conditions herein. In the event that the full amount is not available on the chosen payment method, payment of the Subscription will be subject, where necessary, to an instalment payment based on the amount of liquidity on the payment method in the payment method.

Users are the only parties with reference to the Services, and the Company is totally unrelated to the individual relationships between Users, and is not liable for any unwanted encounters, for this reason we recommend reading the FAQ section and our relative advice.
