Refund Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

This Cancellation & Refund Policy (“Policy”) forms a part of the Terms of Use and Service Agreement between The Date Crew (“TDC”, “we”, “us”, “our”) and any individual (“you”, “your”, “member”, “client”) who purchases or uses any service offered by TDC.

By purchasing or using any TDC service, including but not limited to the TDC Membership and Partner Search Program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Policy.

TDC reserves the right to update or modify this Policy at any time. Any changes become effective immediately upon being published on our website or otherwise communicated to you.

1. Nature of Our Services

The Date Crew provides curated, human-led matchmaking and relationship discovery services. We are not a dating app, matrimonial listing platform, or guarantee-based matchmaking agency.

Our services involve significant human effort, including but not limited to:

  • Profile review and verification
  • Matchmaker evaluation
  • Database analysis
  • Match curation
  • Internal discussions and recommendation workflows
  • Relationship and compatibility assessment
  • Customer support and operational servicing

As a result, substantial work begins immediately after onboarding, profile approval, or activation of your account/service. Accordingly, all payments made to TDC are generally non-refundable unless explicitly stated otherwise in this Policy.

2. TDC Membership – Refund & Cancellation Policy

The TDC Membership is a curated access-based ecosystem and not a guaranteed matchmaking product.

Membership fees provide access to:

  • Inclusion in the TDC network
  • Profile verification and onboarding
  • Matchmaker review against active requirements
  • Curated introductions when alignment exists
  • Magic Link / profile representation tools
  • Ongoing profile visibility within the ecosystem

2.1 No Guarantee of Matches

By purchasing the TDC Membership, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • TDC does not guarantee introductions, matches, dates, conversations, or marriage outcomes.
  • Match timelines vary significantly based on compatibility, preferences, geography, age bracket, flexibility, and overall ecosystem demand.
  • Some members may receive introductions quickly, while others may experience slower timelines.

The absence of introductions or matches shall not be considered a service failure.

2.2 Refund Eligibility Window

If immediately after reviewing the onboarding expectations and membership structure you believe the service is not aligned with your expectations, you may request a refund before your profile is activated within the ecosystem.

In such cases:

  • A processing and operational deduction fee of 50% amount paid will be applicable.
  • Once the profile is verified, activated, reviewed internally, or introduced into the ecosystem, the Membership becomes non-refundable.

2.3 No Refund After Activation

No refund shall be applicable under the following circumstances:

  • You did not receive introductions within your expected timeline.
  • You did not like the profiles shared.
  • Shared introductions did not convert into relationships.
  • You became inactive or unresponsive.
  • You paused your search voluntarily.
  • Your preferences became narrower over time.
  • You found a partner independently or through another source.
  • You chose not to proceed with introductions offered by TDC.

3. Partner Search Program – Refund & Cancellation Policy

The Partner Search Program is a high-involvement, dedicated matchmaking service involving significant manual effort from TDC’s matchmakers and operations team.

This includes:

  • Dedicated matchmaking support
  • Active sourcing and outreach
  • Personalized search strategy
  • Continuous review and coordination
  • External ecosystem exploration
  • Matchmaking consultations and feedback loops

Because of the operational intensity involved, all Partner Search Program payments are generally non-refundable.

3.1 No Guaranteed Outcome

While TDC makes sincere and continuous efforts toward finding meaningful compatibility, we do not guarantee:

  • Marriage
  • Relationship success
  • Number of introductions
  • Speed of outcomes
  • Compatibility acceptance from other parties

Matchmaking is inherently subjective and dependent on mutual interest and compatibility between two independent individuals.

3.2 Refund Requests

Refunds under the Partner Search Program shall be evaluated solely at TDC’s discretion and only under exceptional circumstances.

Refunds will generally not be entertained due to:

  • Dissatisfaction with pace of search
  • Rejections from prospective matches
  • Subjective compatibility expectations
  • Change in personal readiness for marriage
  • Family objections
  • Relocation or life changes
  • Temporary emotional burnout from the process
  • Finding someone independently

3.3 Service Commencement

The service shall be considered commenced once any of the following occurs:

  • Onboarding has started
  • Verification has been initiated
  • Matchmaker consultation has occurred
  • Internal search work has begun
  • Profile has been activated
  • Match curation discussions have commenced

Once service commencement has occurred, fees become non-refundable except where explicitly approved by TDC.

4. Successful Match / Relationship Outcome

No refund shall be applicable if:

  • You found a compatible partner through TDC, or
  • You found a partner independently during the service period.

TDC’s role is to support the relationship discovery journey and not operate as a pay-per-match service.

5. Promotional Benefits, Bonus Introductions & Complimentary Services

From time to time, TDC may provide:

  • Complimentary introductions
  • Bonus matchmaking efforts
  • Promotional upgrades
  • Extended visibility
  • Additional consultations
  • Free service extensions

Such benefits:

  • Hold no cash value
  • Are non-transferable
  • Are non-refundable
  • Shall not be included in any refund calculations

TDC reserves the right to withdraw or modify promotional benefits at any time.

6. Profile Verification & Policy Violations

TDC reserves the right to suspend, reject, or terminate profiles without refund if:

  • False or misleading information is provided
  • Verification documents are withheld or manipulated
  • Inappropriate behaviour is reported
  • Harassment, abuse, dishonesty, or misconduct occurs
  • Platform misuse is identified
  • Confidentiality expectations are violated

All refund and cancellation decisions made by TDC shall be final and binding.

By using our services, you acknowledge that matchmaking outcomes are subjective, emotionally driven, and dependent on multiple external variables beyond TDC’s control.

TDC commits to making sincere, thoughtful, and human-led efforts toward meaningful introductions — but cannot guarantee relationship outcomes.

See Love Stories

I used to chase sparks and reject slow burns. TDC taught me to slow down, give people a fair chance, and see beyond first impressions. I nearly missed my now husband, but thanks to TDC, I saw who he truly was. We married in December 2024, and I’m glad I didn’t give up too soon.

TDC helped me break free from the idea that my partner had to live nearby. Their coaching made me reconsider what really mattered, values and emotional alignment. I met my husband in Singapore, married within months. TDC helped me unlearn old patterns and choose right.

Shefali

Dating abroad with anxious attachment was tough. TDC helped me meet enough people, reflect after dates, and slowly rewire how I approach connection. I stopped chasing, found confidence, and now attract the kind of partner I really want, with more clarity and peace.

Anisha
31, Data Scientist, Germany

I used to push away the right people out of fear. TDC kept me focused on feelings, not just checklists. Their guidance helped me open up, and I married my match. In 2024, we had a baby boy. I’m grateful TDC believed in me as I learned to believe in love.
