    3. blacklist your IP address.
    Kristen.Dating may do this at its sole discretion when Kristen.Dating subjectively determines that it is justified (e.g. in suspicion that the account might be fraudulent). In the event of such occurrence, any subscriptions will be terminated. You fully agree that in such a case (whether guilty or not) you DO NOT have the right to a refund of any previous amounts paid to us for membership, premium services, or purchased messages.
  3. You can cancel your account on our website under the page "My Profile" on the website. You are not entitled to any refund if you voluntarily terminate your account before any paid "Active membership" or Premium time has expired, this in accordance with this user policy that you fully accepted to become a member. If you wish to cancel your membership with us and are an "Active member", we would appreciate if you under the button "Manage payments" that is on the page "My Profile" cancel your subscription with us via Stripe.
7. 1. Active Membership, Extra Messages & Premium Status
  2. With Active Membership all restrictions are removed (e.g. the limitation to be able to send a maximum of three messages) and one gets full access to filters and features. In addition, one receives support via email (support (at) kristen.dating) and is sorted before free members in searches made by the opposite sex. Active membership costs 69 SEK (~ £5,10) per month (subscription price) or 89 SEK (~ £6,59) per month if you choose to make a one-time payment without a subscription. The sum is initially paid via our website via the payment provider Stripe. The subscription (the recurring payments) at Stripe can be managed at all times on Kristen.Dating (when you are logged in) under "My Profile" under the button "Manage Payments". There you can both terminate your subscription and change credit card if the credit card has expired or been lost.
  3. To obtain Premium Status you pay 200 SEK (~14.80 GBP) through our website via the payment provider Stripe. This must be done via a modern, recognized browser. Premium status for your account comes into effect immediately after payment.
  4. Upon payment of 200 SEK (~14.80 GBP), one receives Premium status for 31 days from the time of payment. These are always one-time payments and no subscription is activated (no automatic renewal occurs).
  5. Individuals who have paid for Premium status primarily receive:
    1. first sorting in all searches, i.e., members with Premium status always come before in the search results compared with both active members and free accounts;
    2. a star + premium status by their profile, visible to the opposite sex;
    3. priority support
8. 1. Personal Profile
  2. All information you provide as part of your personal profile on our website must be true, accurate, current, complete, and non-misleading.
  3. You must keep your personal profile on our website updated.

  2. Membership on our website is free. There is no requirement to upgrade to an Active Membership or Premium where greater powers and privileges apply.
  3. The cost for Active Membership is 69 SEK (~ £5,10) per month (subscription) or 89 SEK (~ £6,59) for a month without subscription, i.e., a single purchase. The price for Premium status is 200 SEK (~14.80 GBP) for 31 days (single payment, non-recurring).

All payments on Kristen.Dating are conducted in Swedish currency (SEK), and for VAT purposes, the service is deemed to be consumed within Sweden, utilising Swedish servers at the web-host Oderland.se. We remit 25% VAT on all transactions to the Swedish authorities. If you wish to gain further insight into the SEK currency, you may compare it with other currencies on the Xe Currency converter.
  5. The service that you pay for (regardless of the option above) is fulfilled immediately at the time of payment and therefore the right of withdrawal does not apply to completed (previous) transactions. More info: Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act, chapter 2. §11 (swedish law)
