Version: 18. october 2021
The following terms and conditions set out the relationship between greatastromatcher (“greatastromatcher ", "us", "our", "we") and its customers ("you") when you subscribe to and use the greatastromatcher Service (defined below), whether through a mobile device or computer.
If you are under the age of 18 years old, you are not allowed to use the Service. You can only use the Service for your personal use - commercial use is not permitted.
By registering to or using the greatastromatcher Service, you agree to be bound by (i) these General Terms and Conditions of Use; and (ii) the contractual terms which apply if you purchase additional features, products or services offered to you as part of the Service (such as a Premium Membership) (collectively, the "Subscription Terms").
You acknowledge that we offer our Service in different countries (you can see the list of these countries on our website) and, as such, you acknowledge that the information included in your profile will be visible to our members in all of these countries. You will also be able to search for a partner in any of these countries, not just your own country.
You also understand that we will use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy (see Clause 4 below).
If you do not agree to be bound by all the Subscription Terms, you will not be able to register for, or use, the Service.
1. Object of your Subscription
1.1 Once you have signed up for an account, greatastromatcher will provide you with access to an online database over which you will be able to get know other greatastromatcher registered customers (also known as members) (the “ greatastromatcher Service” or “Service”). The greatastromatcher Service can only be accessed via the Internet; and the Service includes some services that are free and some that are chargeable.
1.2 The online database provided by greatastromatcher contains "profiles" about greatastromatcher members, which contain photos and information made available by those members. You can find more information about the types of personal information that are collected and how this information is made available to other members in our Privacy Policy (see Clause 4 below). You can see on our website those countries in which greatastromatcher offers its Service; and it is possible for our members to search for and contact other members in any of the countries in which we operate.
1.3 Please be aware that while we hope that by using our Service you will successfully meet and form a relationship with another greatastromatcher member, we cannot guarantee that your use of the Service will result in matrimony or any other long-term or meaningful commitment. We are not and do not act as a wedding agency in relation to our Service.
2. Access of the Service and Conclusion of your Subscription
2.1 To access and use the greatastromatcher Service you will need to register. To do this, you will need to provide an email address and a password of your choice. Once you have registered, you will be automatically allocated a "profile ID” (a pseudonym) and a "service password" by greatastromatcher, which will be emailed to you.
2.2 Once you have successfully registered, you will be able to access our free-of-charge Service (also called “Basic Membership”). Your use of this Service will be subject to the terms set out in these General Terms and Conditions of Use.
2.3 At this stage, greatastromatcher will also offer to you various services or features that are subject to a fee. Before you sign up to purchase such services or features, we will provide you with further information about what you will be purchasing, for example, where applicable: the main characteristics of the services or features, the term of your subscription (including any extension), how to terminate your subscription, the price and any payment conditions. If you want to upgrade your membership by choosing a membership that is subject to a fee ("Premium Membership") you acknowledge that by pressing the “Upgrade” button, you will have confirmed that you want to purchase the Premium Membership that you have selected. Our contractual relationship for that Premium Membership will be confirmed on the date that greatastromatcher sends you an e-mail confirmation of your order.
3. Free-of-Charge and Chargeable Services
3.1 It is free to register for the greatastromatcher Service and to get our free membership (“Basic Membership”). Once you have registered, you will be asked to answer a questionnaire about yourself. Your profile will then be included into the greatastromatcher database.
3.2 If you purchase a Premium Membership, you can use other functionalities, which are available only to Premium members.
3.3 As described above, greatastromatcher may also provide you with additional services, which will be subject to a fee as displayed on our website.
3.4 We may change the Service: (i) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or (ii) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat (however, these changes will not affect your use of the Service). In addition, although we provide a description of our Service on our website, we may change the main characteristics of our Service from time to time. However, if we do this, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end your subscription before the changes take effect (and, in relation to a Premium Membership, you will receive a refund for the part of the service you have paid for but not received because of the earlier termination of your subscription).
3.5 Please be aware that although we aim to make the greatastromatcher Service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we cannot guarantee that the Service will be available 100% of the time. Our Service availability may be reduced due to any downtime which is due to maintenance and software updates, as well as any periods during which the Service is unavailable via the Internet due to technical or other problems that are beyond greatastromatcher's control. In order to be able to use the greatastromatcher Service fully, you should use up-to-date (browser) technologies on your mobile device or computer (e.g. enable Java script, cookies, pop-ups). If you use an older operating system or internet service provider, you may find that you only have limited access to the greatastromatcher Service.
4. Use (incl. for advertising purposes), Transfer and Transmission of Data
4.1 You can find further information about how we use your personal information and what our obligations are in relation to data protection in our Privacy Policy.

To this end, greatastromatcher has developed numerous technical and organisational standards. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with greatastromatcher’s security tips before using the greatastromatcher service and to follow these tips and the user guidelines in Clause 7 below. If greatastromatcher’s "Trust and Safety Team" contacts you in the event of anomalies, you are obliged to cooperate with and respond to immediately if such a request is made. If we recommend actions, you should seriously considered them and not reject them without serious cause. You should also report problematic content or behaviour to us through the function “suspicious profile?”.

If you need to update your profile or registration information, you can generally do this at any time through your profile. However, there is some information that can only be updated by contacting us using the details in Clause 16 (and this will be clear to you at the time).

We cannot, however, guarantee that you will be able to successfully secure a partner as a result of using the Service.
5.3 While we expect our members to use the Service in a kind and respectful way (and in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions of Use), greatastromatcher is not responsible for any misuse of personal information made available through the Service by its members, or for any other use of the Service by its members which is contrary to these General Terms and Conditions of Use, or any use that is otherwise unauthorised or unlawful.
greatastromatcher is also not responsible for any misuse of data or information by third parties (i.e. other members or non-members) where you have provided the third party with such information.
5.4 While greatastromatcher works hard to provide a high quality service, greatastromatcher does not guarantee that the Service will perform perfectly at all times and cannot ensure that the Service will always be uninterrupted, secure or error-free. In particular, greatastromatcher is not liable for disruptions that affect the accessibility of the Service where such disruptions are caused by actions or events that are outside greatastromatcher 's control. Furthermore, although greatastromatcher will put appropriate technical and organisational security measures in place to protect your personal information, to the fullest extent permitted by law, greatastromatcher will not be liable for any unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data (e.g. due to hackers gaining unauthorised access to our database).
5.5 Except as expressly provided in these General Terms and Conditions of Use, we exclude all representations, warranties, conditions and terms (whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise) to the fullest extent permitted by law. We accept no liability for any losses or damages which are not reasonably foreseeable arising out of or in connection with these General Terms and Conditions of Use or your use of our Service.
5.6 As described below in Clause 10, these exclusions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with law, subject to other mandatory laws, which cannot be excluded in your country of residence. If any provision of these disclaimers and exclusions shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
5.7 Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions of Use shall exclude or limit our liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence, or fraud. In addition, these General Terms and Conditions of Use shall not limit or exclude any other liability that we are not permitted to limit or exclude under applicable law.
