User Eligibility & Adult-Only Membership

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your province of residence, to register and use EliteSingles Calgary. Membership is strictly limited to adults who are legally permitted to enter into binding agreements and participate in online dating services.

Minimum age requirement: 18 years or older
Users must possess the legal capacity to accept these terms
Accounts belonging to minors will be immediately suspended and deleted
Proof of age may be requested during verification processes

Plain-English Summary You must be an adult to join. We do not permit underage users under any circumstances, and we reserve the right to verify age when necessary.

Account Registration Rules

Creating an account requires a valid email address, a secure password, and truthful personal details. Each individual is permitted only one primary account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities conducted under your account.

Registration Requirements

Choose a strong, unique password
Do not share account access with others
Notify us immediately of unauthorized access

Plain-English Summary Register with your real email, keep your password private, and never let someone else use your account. You are accountable for everything that happens under your login.

Accurate Profile Information

Your profile serves as the foundation of trust on our platform. You agree to maintain current, truthful, and representative information regarding your name, age, location, education, occupation, and relationship goals. Misleading or deliberately false statements undermine the integrity of our matchmaking process.

Plain-English Summary Keep your profile honest and up to date. Do not exaggerate your background, use outdated photos, or misrepresent your intentions. Authenticity helps Calgary professionals find compatible matches.

Serious Dating Expectations

EliteSingles Calgary is designed for individuals looking for genuine romantic connections, long-term partnerships, and compatible relationships. The platform is not intended for casual entertainment, professional networking, advertising, spam promotion, or non-romantic solicitations.

Plain-English Summary Join with sincere intentions. This platform connects Calgary singles looking for real relationships, not business contacts, ads, or temporary distractions.

Respectful Conduct & Prohibited Harassment

All members must interact with courtesy, empathy, and mutual respect. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance toward harassment, intimidation, bullying, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, unwanted advances, or aggressive messaging. Professional singles deserve a dignified environment.

Do not send threatening, degrading, or repetitive messages
Respect boundaries when a member declines further contact
Do not use slurs or targeted language based on protected characteristics
Report uncomfortable interactions promptly

Plain-English Summary Be polite, respect rejection, and never harass another member. If someone asks you to stop contacting them, stop immediately.

Anti-Scam Policy & No Fake Identities

Fraudulent activity compromises the safety of our community. We strictly prohibit fake profiles, catfishing, financial scams, romance fraud, cryptocurrency schemes, and any attempt to exploit members emotionally or economically. Impersonating another person or organization is grounds for immediate termination.

Plain-English Summary Do not create fake accounts, pretend to be someone else, or attempt to scam members out of money. We actively monitor for fraudulent behavior and cooperate with authorities when necessary.

Private Messaging Rules

Our private messaging system is intended for one-on-one communication between verified members. Automated bots, mass broadcasting, commercial solicitation, and external link sharing through direct messages are prohibited. Messaging features may require a paid subscription depending on your membership tier.

Plain-English Summary Use private messages for genuine conversations only. No bots, no mass emails, no selling products, and no suspicious external links.

Content Ownership & User Submissions

You retain ownership of the original content you upload, including profile text, photographs, and messages. However, by submitting content to EliteSingles Calgary, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to display, store, and distribute that content within the platform to facilitate matching and communication.

Plain-English Summary Your photos and words remain yours, but you give us permission to show them to potential matches so the dating experience functions properly.

Profile Photo Standards

Profile images must accurately represent you, be clearly visible, and comply with community guidelines. We encourage recent, high-quality photographs that reflect your current appearance. Blurry, misleading, heavily filtered, or inappropriate images will be removed upon review.

At least one clear, recent face photograph is required
No explicit, violent, offensive, or copyrighted material
No images containing children unless they are your own and appropriately moderated
No watermarked or stock imagery presented as personal photos

Plain-English Summary Upload real, current photos of yourself. Avoid group shots as your main picture, explicit content, or images taken from other websites.

Subscription Terms

EliteSingles Calgary offers both free and premium membership tiers. Free accounts provide limited browsing and communication features. Premium subscriptions unlock advanced matching algorithms, unlimited messaging, read receipts, and priority customer support. Subscription plans are billed monthly, quarterly, or annually according to your selection.

Plain-English Summary Basic features are free, but full access requires a paid plan. Choose the billing cycle that suits you, and understand that prices may vary by promotion.

Payment Rules

All payments must be processed through our secure checkout system using valid credit cards, debit cards, or approved digital payment methods. Prices are displayed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Failure to pay, expired payment methods, or chargeback abuse may result in immediate account suspension without refund.

Plain-English Summary Pay through our official system only. Keep your payment method updated. Disputing charges improperly can lead to account loss.

Cancellation Guidance

You may cancel your automatic renewal at any time through your account settings before the next billing cycle begins. Cancellation stops future charges but does not retroactively refund the current paid period. Your premium benefits remain active until the end of your already-paid term.

Plain-English Summary Turn off auto-renewal whenever you want. You will not be charged again, but you still get to use premium features until your current plan expires.

Refund Limitations

Digital dating services are consumed immediately upon activation. Except where required by applicable Canadian consumer protection legislation, we do not provide partial or pro-rated refunds for unused portions of a subscription term. Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchase and reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Plain-English Summary Because online dating access is instant, refunds are generally not available after the cooling-off period. Always review your purchase before confirming.

Service Availability

We strive to keep EliteSingles Calgary operational around the clock, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance, server upgrades, network issues, or force majeure events may temporarily affect service. During outages, we will make reasonable efforts to restore functionality promptly.

Plain-English Summary The platform aims to be available 24/7, but occasional downtime for maintenance or technical issues may occur.

Account Suspension & Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in suspicious activity, fail to respond to verification requests, or pose a risk to community safety. Members may also delete their accounts voluntarily at any time. Upon termination, access to messages, matches, and premium features ceases immediately.

Plain-English Summary Breaking the rules can get your account banned. You can also leave anytime. When an account ends, your data and access are removed from active use.

Member Safety Responsibilities

Online dating carries inherent risks. While we implement security measures, you are responsible for exercising sound judgment when communicating with other members. Do not share financial information, send money, or meet in unsafe locations. Arrange first meetings in public spaces and inform a trusted friend of your plans.

Plain-English Summary Stay smart. Never send money to someone you have not met, meet in public places, and protect your personal and financial information.

Reporting Violations

If you encounter harassment, scams, fake profiles, or inappropriate behavior, please report it immediately through our dedicated reporting tools or contact our support team. We investigate all reports promptly and take appropriate action, which may include warnings, feature restrictions, or permanent bans.

Plain-English Summary See something wrong? Report it. We take member feedback seriously and act quickly to keep the community safe.

Disclaimer of Results

Plain-English Summary We are not financially responsible for unexpected outcomes or indirect losses. Our liability is limited to recent subscription fees paid.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of a disagreement, both parties agree to first attempt informal resolution through direct communication with our support team. If unresolved, disputes will be subject to binding arbitration or small claims proceedings in accordance with applicable Alberta jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by consumer protection statutes.

Plain-English Summary If there is a problem, talk to us first. Unresolved issues may be handled through local arbitration or court processes in Alberta.
