1. This agreement
By accessing and using this website, you agree to comply with and are subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), including any updates to these TOS which MeetMyMate may make from time to time without notice to you, MeetMyMate’s Privacy Policy, and any other rules, notifications or disclaimers displayed on this website. Headings used in these TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
2. Membership and membership information
Membership of MeetMyMate is only open to people over the age of 18 years. In order to become a member, you must provide accurate and complete information about yourself or your friend (as the case may be), and you must update that information regularly if your (or their) circumstances change. You may only create one member profile per person. In circumstances where you create a profile for someone else, that person will not become a member and the information in that profile will not become available to other members unless that person provides their full written consent by reply email to MeetMyMate’s introductory email and approves the entire profile (including any photographs or other material forming part of that profile). MeetMyMate reserves the right in its sole discretion (a) to request appropriate identification to verify any member’s identity and age; or (b) immediately to suspend cancel your membership without further notice if you breach this term.
3. Privacy
All personal information you provide to MeetMyMate on this website will be treated in
accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to change any feature or element of the Service at any time without notice to you. The Service may include advertisements and administrative messages which form part of your conditions of membership and you cannot opt out of receiving them. The Service is provided as is and MeetMyMate assumes no responsibility for errors, interruptions, omissions, or loss of personalised settings.
