2. Eligibility and Membership
2.1 Your membership of PLM and use of our services is conditional on the following. By joining, you confirm and warrant that:
(i) you are at least 21 years old;
(ii) you are single or separated from your partner;
(iii) your personal information is true, accurate and complete;
(iv) you are not using and will not use PLM services for any commercial purpose.
Your membership will be void if any of the above conditions are broken.
3. Your Rights and Responsibilities
3.1 As soon as you have completed your initial consultation with PLM we will begin assessing potential introductions. PLM offers different levels and types of membership, which will be explained to you in person in your initial consultation with the company. We will use our reasonable efforts to introduce you to potential partners who we think may be suited to you.
3.2 You accept that the more limitations you impose on the type of person you would like to meet, the fewer introductions may result. You also accept that PLM cannot control whether another user wishes to reply to any communication from you, nor the nature of any feedback they supply following a date with you.
3.3 You accept that PLM does not guarantee any minimum number of introductions. We will endeavour to estimate a number based upon the information you provide at the initial meeting. This number is intended as a guide only and under no circumstances will it constitute a binding promise. PLM does not guarantee love.
3.4 You promise and undertake not to do any of the following, and understand that should you break this undertaking, we may take action including but not limited to termination of your membership at our discretion and without offering any refund:
(i) harass or cause a nuisance, inconvenience or anxiety to any other user or any employee or contractor of PLM, or contact them following a request not to do so;
(ii) violate the privacy or other rights of any employee, contractor or other user of PLM, including but not limited to by forwarding, distributing or displaying emails, personal data or photographs of another user to any third party;
(iii) act in an abusive, threatening, harassing, obscene, libellous, offensive, sexist, racist or discriminatory manner towards any employee or other user of PLM;
(iv) do anything which restricts or inhibits anyone else’s use and enjoyment of the services;
(v) impersonate another person;
(vi) supply us with any photograph or other material the rights to which are owned by any third party unless you have their written permission for such photograph or other material to be used for this purpose;
(vi) promote or appear to be promoting your own products or services to any other user or of PLM; or
(vii) do anything that deliberately or recklessly prejudices the reputation of PLM or any companies associated with PLD.
(viii) fail to reveal important information about yourself, which could impact or affect your programme and our users, including mental state, criminal offences and drug and alcohol misuse.
Should you become aware of any other user breaking these rules, please contact PLM.
3.5 You accept that PLM cannot be responsible for your interaction with other users or for the conduct or actions of any user. PLM does not carry out police or background checks of its users and makes no representations about the marital status or mental state of any user. You should always take sensible precautions before and during such interactions, particularly if arranging to meet another user (these should include meeting in a public place, telling someone where you are going, and not giving out personal information until you are comfortable doing so). PLM cannot arbitrate in disputes between users.
3.6 Payment: Your membership is conditional upon the payment of your package for a 6 or 12-month period commencing on signature of this Agreement. Depending on the package you have taken, you may also be asked to pay a fee that has been agreed with your consultant for each person that is introduced to you or a monthly fee, if this is not included in the package.
You may cancel your package at any time but all fees are non-refundable, except at the sole discretion of PLM.
Should you require extra support and time from any employee or contractor of PLM, which is in addition or an extension to your package, you will be liable for costs per hour.
If payments are late, you may be charged interest and non-payment may result in the termination of your programme or an alternative as decided by PLM.
3.7 Your programme may be suspended for up to 6 months at a time by giving one month’s notice to PLM of your reasons. You may reactivate your membership programme at any time within such 6-month period by informing PLM. Should you wish to reactivate your membership following the expiry of such 6-month period, PLM has a right to terminate your agreement. Membership can be put on hold up to a maximum of 3 times.
You can transfer your programme to another woman for an admin fee of £500 (but you need approval of the Membership Committee and PLM will need to decide the suitability of this new member for the programme).
Your programme may be cancelled prior to completion due to serious illness. You must apply in writing and the PLM membership committee will need to assess and approve the application before making a decision. If the programme is cancelled due to this decision the client will receive a full refund minus any costs prior to this date.
If your circumstances change drastically, then this may have an effect on the success of the programme.
If you choose to terminate your programme we are not liable to refund your payment and you may be liable for additional outstanding payments, which must be paid within 28days of the termination.
3.8 You consent to PLM processing your personal information, including any sensitive personal information you provide, for the purposes of providing our services. You also consent to the use of such data for communicating with you, and for marketing, statutory, accounting and archival purposes.
3.9 You grant PLM and its successors and assign a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, distribute, display and reproduce any photograph or other material for which you own the intellectual property rights and which you supply to PLM.
3.10 The membership is for 6 or 12 months for the time that the consultants/matchmakers spend searching matches and sending the profile out to other users or potential candidates, headhunting potential candidates for the contract period, and additional services as detailed in your package, commencing on signature of this Agreement. Headhunting will be conducted in the UK, but can also be conducted in other countries. Any ad hoc relevant expenses/costs relating to the search, asked by the client (travel, accommodation, sustenance) are not part of the joining fee and will be invoiced to the client.
