We don't offer a refund as a marketing trick. It's the structural proof that our incentives are aligned with yours. Here's exactly how it works.
If you haven't found a relationship within 90 days of joining, we refund your £49 in full. No questions. No hoops. Just a quick email to [email protected]. We built this site to help people find partners — if we fail at that, we don't deserve your money.
Met my partner in 6 weeks. The compatibility match was almost unsettlingly accurate.
I was sceptical about the refund promise. Turns out I didn't need it.
Finally a dating site that feels like it's on my side.

A fair question. We can offer a refund because our matching model works well enough that most people don't need one. We build the refund cost into the membership price. If too many people claimed refunds, we'd know our matching was broken and fix it.
In short: our incentives are so aligned with yours that we'd go out of business if matching consistently failed. That's exactly the accountability mechanism we wanted to build.

Worst case you get £49 back. Best case you find someone real and get £99 as a bonus. Either way, this is the least risky £49 you'll spend on dating.
