  1. Subject matter of the contract
    • We exclusively arrange the possibility of moderated participation in meetings with usually up to 24 participants. These meetings generally take place in restaurants or other suitable locations. The participants meet in the evening one after the other in three different restaurants or other suitable places. There, the participants can get to know each other better. Finally, all participants come together for a joint meeting.
    • We provide as a service the dates of the meetings (place, if necessary address of the restaurant and table, beginning as well as duration). The participants also have the opportunity to electronically communicate their sympathy for another participant in real time during the meeting. In case of mutual sympathy, both participants will be given the opportunity for direct electronic communication. Details result after No. 5.
    • Each participant is responsible for his or her own meals at the restaurant and for traveling to the restaurant. The restaurants are not our vicarious agents. Services provided by the restaurants, such as a free drink, are provided exclusively by the restaurants.
  2. Conclusion of the contract

      • Selection of the desired meeting on the homepage or on the registration page.

    • The customer commits himself,
      • to fill in the personal data truthfully,

      • to treat all participating persons politely and respectfully during the meetings.
    • We will not verify the data that a user makes during the registration process.
    • Identification of individuals is limited on the Internet. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that false contact information is provided during registration. We do not guarantee the identity of the participants of the meetings.
    • We reserve the right to block the customer from meetings if there are reasonable grounds for suspicion, especially with regard to a violation of these terms and conditions by the customer.

    • The customers or participants are grouped appropriately on the basis of their data.
    • Each participant receives an e-mail 24 to 48 hours before the meeting, in which the exact course of the evening is explained. In particular, we inform them when the customer will be assigned to which location.
    • Shortly before the meetings we send the participant again the current dates of the meetings. The participant is also informed about the names of the participants of this group as well as the way to express sympathy.
    • If the participant is interested in another participant during the meetings, the participant informs us electronically through the given way. If two participants express mutual interest, a so-called “match” results. We send to both participants the phone number of the other participant. (Example: Person A writes to the provider “Person B likes me”. Person B writes to the provider “Person A likes me”. There is a match between person A and B. Person A receives the phone number of person B. Person B receives the phone number of person A).
    • The possibility of a match remains possible for another 5 days after the meeting.
    • The house right remains with the restaurants where we reserve the tables. The pubs will be chosen in a way that there are no strict admission criteria, so that everybody has access to the pub if possible. We are not liable if admission is denied by the pub.

    • If the customer wants to choose another date, he can send us an e-mail with the desired date up to 7 days before the beginning of the meetings. We will then check the possibility of participation in the other date and, if necessary, confirm it.
    • If the booked meeting cannot be held, mainly because there are too few registrations, we have the right to rebook the customer to a subsequent date up to 24 hours before the originally scheduled meeting.
