Welcome to our website where you must be over 18 years of age to be a FREE or Subscribed Member and where your own safety and security comes first. It is therefore prohibited for you to share you own personal contact details with strangers you meet online i.e. WhatsApp contact, because all chatting and video chatting is included within the AfroEliteDating platform and Our mobile App. In this way we provide a further level of protection for you against the unscrupulous against whom we are actively vigilant and policing. Any such members should be reported to us for further investigation which may lead to termination of Membership Services without refund. For more details see our page How to Stay Safe Online.

Registration to our Services as well as use of the Services implies the acceptance of these Terms of Use by the Member or Subscriber in full. Therefore, by creating an Account, the Member or Subscriber acknowledges that he/she is fully informed of and bound by all the provisions of the
The words or terms used in these Terms of Use and commencing with a capital letter shall have the following meaning:
“Account” refers to the strictly personal interface, which is accessible to Members and Subscribers, permitting them to be identified on our platforms, to benefit from our Services that they have registered for or subscribed to, where they can complete and modify their Profile and, if applicable, renew or modify their Subscription. The Account will automatically extend unless cancelled by the Subscriber or AfroEliteDating.

“Event” or “Activity” or both refer to any free or paid event allowing Members and Subscribers and, if applicable, their Guests to meet in person, offered in accordance with AfroEliteDating Terms and Conditions for Events, the defined terms of which are also used herein, and Section 10 of these Terms of Use.

“Paid Services” refers to all paid Services available to Subscribers, including the Upgrades.
“Profile” refers to a space provided to a Member or Subscriber, which comprises of the Member’s or Subscriber’s self-description, including his/her characteristics, photos and videos, and which is accessible by other Members and Subscribers.

“Subscriber” refers to a user of one or more Services who has purchased a Subscription to one or more Services.
“Visitor” refers to anyone who visits the Website without registering or without connecting to his/her Account.
“User” is the more general term which refers to either a Visitor, Member or Subscriber to Our Platforms.
“Subscription” refers to a fixed price giving access to Services, including paid Services, for a limited period specified in the relevant Subscription purchased by a Subscriber.
“Terms of Use” refers to this contract.
“Third-party Websites” refers to any third-party Internet websites or mobile application outside of AfroEliteDating’s own platforms.
“Upgrade” refers to any Paid Service purchased by a Subscriber as an additional feature to his/her Subscription.
“Website” and “Websites” refers to all dating websites provided by AfroEliteDating, including the Core Dating Websites and the mobile applications published and / or owned by AfroEliteDating and through which the Services are provided.
Registration to the Services is free. The Visitor, Member or Subscriber shall exclusively bear the costs for the means to access the Services as well as for the use of such means.
Acceptance of these Terms of Use when registering constitutes the formal conclusion of the membership contract for the Services. This results in becoming a Member, discovering the Services and gives access to free functionalities of the Services as described in Section 4.1 below.
To register and thus become a Member, every Visitor who is interested in the Services must be at least 18 years old, meet the conditions for registration or access to the relevant Services, have the requisite legal capacity to enter into a contract, read these Terms of Use, the Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy and complete the mandatory fields in the registration form.
It is specified that a Member cannot create more than one Account with the same email address.
The Member may then complete his/her Profile by giving information on his/her physical appearance, hobbies, profession and all other personal information he/she wishes to share with the other Members through the Services, with the exception of his/her personal contact details (electronic address, postal address, telephone number etc.) the sharing of which is expressly prohibited in Section 5.1 below.
Once the necessary conditions for registration are met, every Member creates a strictly confidential and personal username and password, which allows him/her to access his/her Account.
The Member or Subscriber is responsible for the use of his/her identification elements by third parties or the actions or statements made by an intermediary on his/her Account, whether they are fraudulent or not, and will indemnify AfroEliteDating for any claim arising in connection with these. Therefore all information entered should be of a non-sensitive nature and / or that which would not cause the Member or Subscriber to lose out in any way such that they would wish or need to make a claim against AfroEliteDating in the worst imagined scenario. Therefore the Member or Subscriber must only give commonly known details that could not be used in a substantive way to defraud or otherwise be of detriment to the individual, because AfroEliteDating cannot be culpable in any way if any such circumstances detrimental to the User occurred. Moreover, AfroEliteDating is not obliged and does not have the technical means to verify the identity of individuals registering to the Services. If the Member or Subscriber has reason to believe that another person is using his/her identification elements or his/her Account, he/she must inform AfroEliteDating immediately.
Subscription to the Services, with or without an Upgrade, is paid for. The Member may purchase a Subscription and, thus, become a Subscriber and benefit from the functionalities of the Paid Services described below in Section 4.2.
In order to do this, the Member must first identify him/herself using his/her email address and his/her confidential password. After choosing his/her Subscription and way of payment, the Member must submit his/her payment. This last step formally concludes the membership contract to the Paid Services and the complete, unreserved acceptance of the Terms of Use. Once the payment has been submitted, the Subscriber is directed to a payment confirmation page. AfroEliteDating acknowledges receipt of the purchase of a Subscription by sending an email.
Registration to the Services allows individuals to become a Member and provides access to the following features:
Purchase of a Subscription allows access to all the features specified in Section 4.1 above as well as to the following features, if applicable:
Pursuant to Section 29 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, the Member is informed that he/she has fourteen days from the purchase of a Subscription to exercise his/her right to cancel, without incurring any liability and without giving a reason, by sending a clear statement requesting this to the e-mail address: info@AfroEliteDating.com. Only requests relating to the exercise of this right to cancel will be processed from these contact addresses. In order for the cancellation to be effectively exercised, the Subscriber must send his/her request within the fourteen-day cancellation period.
The Subscriber may, if he/she wishes to, access the Paid Services immediately without waiting for the end of the cancellation period, according to Section 36 (1) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. There is a dedicated button in the payment confirmation page for this purpose.
If the Subscriber does not wish to access the Paid Services immediately, he/she may leave the Website after submitting his/her payment and wait for the expiry of the fourteen-day period. Nevertheless, if the Subscriber connects to his/her Account and uses the Services before the end of the cancellation period, this first log in from the purchase of a Subscription constitutes an express request by the Subscriber to have immediate access to the Paid Services.
In any event, immediate access to the Services does not deprive the Subscriber from his/her right to cancel, which remains valid until the expiry of the fourteen-day period. However, the Subscriber who has requested to benefit from the Paid Services before the end of the cancellation period must pay a pro-rated amount for his/her use of the Services. AfroEliteDating shall, therefore, reimburse the Subscriber for the cost of the Subscription by deducting the amount equivalent to the days which have passed between the date he/she first used the Subscription and the date AfroEliteDating received the request to cancel, provided that every day used shall be payable.
The reimbursement shall be made within 14 days from the date AfroEliteDating was informed of the Subscriber’s decision to cancel, by the same means of payment which was used by the Subscriber for the initial transaction, save for any instruction from the latter to the contrary. The Subscriber will find additional information on the Help/Contact us page about the scope and application of the right to cancel.
The purpose of the Services, including the Paid Services, is not organising ‘real life’, in person dates between the Members and/or the Subscribers, nor marital counselling leading to marriage nor establishing a stable union, regardless of the Member’s or Subscriber’s personal motivations in this respect.
AfroEliteDating and the companies of the AfroEliteDating Group expressly exclude all liability in connection with events of any nature, which could take place between Members or Subscribers during online interactions, whether through the Websites or through Third Party Websites, or during ‘real life’, in person dates between Members or Subscribers arising from use of the Services.
The purpose of the Services, including the Paid Services, is not the provision of access to the Internet nor the provision of electronic communication services to the public. As a result, AfroEliteDating and the companies of the AfroEliteDating Group do not verify the actual identity of Members or Subscribers when they connect to the Websites. Further, they do not control nor moderate exhaustively any of the content, which the Members and Subscribers may publish or upload on the Services under their sole liability. However, the photographs and the description featuring on the Profile of every Member or Subscriber will be verified.
Therefore, Members and Subscribers are reminded that they are prohibited from disclosing any information to other Members or Subscribers, which allows them to be identified or located (surname, postal address, email, telephone number…) with the exception of their username, through the Services. <
The provisions of this Section apply from the registration or Subscription and shall remain applicable for the entire duration of use of the Services, without prejudice to the provisions of Section 9 below. In order to use the Services, the Member or Subscriber agrees to comply with any laws in force, respect the rights of other Members and Subscribers, as well as observe the obligations defined below.
The Member or Subscriber has the following general obligations:
The Member or Subscriber generally has the essential obligations (hereinafter, the “Essential Obligations”) to:
A breach of the Essential Obligations thus defined constitutes a serious breach by the Member or Subscriber of its contractual obligations. Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 9 below, in the event of breach by a Member or Subscriber of one or more of these Essential Obligations, AfroEliteDating may terminate the contract and permanently delete the relevant Member’s or Subscriber’s Account(s) on all the Websites and Services.
In the event of breach by a Member or Subscriber of one or more of the General and/or Essential Obligations, and namely in the event of inappropriate behaviour on the Websites and Services, AfroEliteDating and the companies of the AfroEliteDating Group may permanently or temporarily prohibit all access or subscription of the relevant Member or Subscriber to one or more Events or Activities.
In order to use the Paid Services, the Subscriber must have a Subscription; the fees and the terms of payment are described on the Websites. Members may purchase a Subscription by paying either by bank card (on the internet or through a mobile service) or by using an online payment service (PayPal, Direct Debit etc.) according to the options given on the relevant Website. The fees are indicated in British pounds sterling USD (inclusive of all taxes). The Subscriber may also purchase one or more Upgrades after purchasing his/her Subscription according to the conditions set out above and benefit from the features offered by the purchased Upgrade immediately. The Subscriber is, therefore, charged for the period from the day the Upgrade is purchased until the end of the current Subscription.
On the expiry of each period of validity, the Subscription shall be renewed for periods equivalent to that originally chosen, unless terminated by the Subscriber in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 9 below. Once renewed, the Subscription, including any Upgrades (if any), will be charged to the Subscriber at the standard (non-discounted) rate applicable to the relevant Services and for a period equivalent to that initially chosen. In addition, information on the duration of the Subscriber’s Subscription is available to Subscribers in the “My Account” section, which allows a Subscriber to manage his/her Subscription and, if applicable, the termination of the automatic renewal.
The Subscriber may also purchase other ad hoc services, such as buying mobile phone applications or special offers. In this particular case, these ad hoc services are purchased from other providers and in accordance with other terms and conditions of payment to those used for the Services provided by AfroEliteDating (for example, iTunes for the purchase of an iPhone application). The billing terms, the payment terms as well as the terms for renewal and termination applicable to those ad hoc services and those special offers will be communicated to the Subscriber by the third party and shall be accepted by the Subscriber before his/her purchase. In any event, the purchase of smartphone applications published by AfroEliteDating does not in any case give access to Paid Services without the purchase of a Subscription.
All Services names, trademarks, logos, graphics, photographs, animations, videos and texts contained on the Websites and within the Services are the exclusive property of the AfroEliteDating Group and, if applicable, its partners and may not be reproduced, used or communicated without the express authorisation of the companies of the AfroEliteDating Group or their partners, subject to legal action.
The rights of use granted to the Member and Subscriber are limited to private and personal use as part of and for the duration of the registration to the Services. Any other use by the Member or Subscriber is prohibited.
The Member or Subscriber is prohibited from, among other actions, modifying, copying, reproducing, downloading, broadcasting, transmitting, commercially exploiting and/or distributing the Services, Website pages or computer codes of the elements composing the Services and Websites, in any way whatsoever, subject to legal action.
The Member or Subscriber grants the AfroEliteDating Group a licence to use the intellectual property rights arising from the content provided by him/her in connection with his/her registration or Subscription and his/her use of the Services or the display of his/her Profile on the Services. This licence specifically includes the right of the AfroEliteDating Group to reproduce, represent, adapt, translate, digitise, use for the purposes of the Services or sub-license the content provided by the Member or Subscriber (information, images, description, search criteria, etc.) on all or parts of the Services and on all the Websites, in the emails by the AfroEliteDating Group, and, in general, on all electronic communication media (e-mail, Internet, mobile application) in connection with the Services.
The Member or Subscriber expressly authorises the AfroEliteDating Group to modify this content in order to comply with the graphic charter of the Services or other communication media referred to above, and/or to make it compatible with its technical functionalities or the formats supported by the relevant media. These rights are granted on a worldwide basis and for the duration of the Terms of Use between the Member or Subscriber and the AfroEliteDating Group. The Member or Subscriber may not copy, reproduce, or otherwise make use of the content produced by other Members or Subscribers, other than strictly for the needs of use of the Services for personal and private purposes.
8.1.1 To use the Services, the Member or Subscriber must have the skills, equipment and software necessary for use of the Internet or the mobile applications of the Services. AfroEliteDating has security measures in place in connection with the use of the Services. However, the Member or Subscriber acknowledges that, due to the nature and limitations of the Internet, AfroEliteDating cannot warrant that any connection to the Internet or mobile applications will be completely secure.
8.1.2 The Member or Subscriber must have the equipment, including the software and appropriate settings, necessary for the good operation of the Services: the latest version of the Internet browser, activated JavaScript functions, permitted session cookies and accepted ‘pop-up’ windows.
8.1.4 AfroEliteDating does not warrant that the Member or Subscriber will be able to use the Services if he/she uses a “pop-up killer” tool or an equivalent; in this case, this function must be disabled before using the Services.
8.1.5 AfroEliteDating does not warrant that the Member or Subscriber will be able to use the Services if his/her Internet service provider fails to provide an adequate level of service. Similarly, if applicable, the use of smartphone applications purchased by the Member or Subscriber directly from the provider of the application implies that the latter must have a smartphone and a satisfactory connection.
8.1.6 AfroEliteDating is not responsible for any lack of functionality, lack of access or poor conditions of use of the Websites and Services attributable to unsuitable equipment, to the internal functionality failures of the Member’s or Subscriber’s service provider, the overloading of the Internet network and for all other reasons external to AfroEliteDating constituting a force majeure event.
8.1.7 The operation of the Services may be interrupted temporarily due to maintenance, updates or technical improvements, or to update the content and/or the way it is presented. If possible, AfroEliteDating will notify its Members and Subscribers before any maintenance operations or updates which may impact the Services.
8.2.1. Information provided by a Member or Subscriber to any company of the AfroEliteDating Group must be accurate and true. The consequences that disclosing this information may have on the Member’s or Subscriber’s life or the lives of other Members or Subscribers are the exclusive responsibility of the Member or Subscriber concerned. The Member or Subscriber discloses and disseminates information, data, text, content and images that concern it through the Services on his/her own initiative. Accordingly, he/she waives the right to make any claim against the AfroEliteDating Group, in particular on the basis of the possible infringement of his/her image or personality rights, honour, reputation or secrecy of his/her private life, that may result from the distribution or dissemination of information that concern him/her under the terms and conditions established in the Privacy Policy to the extent that the Member or Subscriber has previously given his/her voluntary and express consent to such dissemination as a result of his/her registration to the Services, according to the Terms of Use.
8.2.2. AfroEliteDating cannot be held liable for the accuracy or inaccuracy of the information and content provided by other Members, Subscribers and/or the Member or Subscriber him/herself, nor the consequences from the use of this information and content.

8.2.3. The quality of the Services expected by both AfroEliteDating and its Members and Subscribers implies observing a certain level of ethical conduct in the expression and behaviour of the Members and Subscribers, respecting the rights of third parties, as well as the laws and regulations in force. To meet this demand for quality, individual responsibility and ethics, the AfroEliteDating Group allows any Member or Subscriber to report any content (photography, text, video), behaviours or comments made by another Member or Subscriber that appear to be in violation of the laws and regulations in force, regarding the purpose of the Services, third-party rights or public morals.
As a result, Members and Subscribers acknowledge and accept that the data they provide, as well as their behaviour or comments made through the Services, may be reported by other Members or Subscribers and may be subject to acts of moderation and/or control by the AfroEliteDating Group on the basis of objective assessment criteria. In the event this report or control reveals that a Member or Subscriber violated the laws and regulations in force or his/her contractual obligations under these Terms of Use, AfroEliteDating may this Member or Subscriber by removing his/her account according to Section 9 below. Depending on the behaviour or the comments made by Members or Subscribers, the moderation team may decide to block any new registration by the relevant person.
AfroEliteDating is only liable for the hyperlinks it creates in the Websites and Services and does not exercise any control over the Third Party Websites and external resources (third-party websites or mobile applications, social networks, etc.) to which the hyperlinks accessible on the Websites and the Services redirect. AfroEliteDating cannot be held liable for the provision of links directing to Third Party Websites and cannot be held liable for their content, advertisements, products, features, services or any other elements available on or based on the use of such Third Party Websites. It is reminded that the consultation and use of Third Party Websites is governed by their conditions of use, and that such consultation and use will be made under the Member’s or Subscriber’s full liability. Any issues relating to a link must be reported to AfroEliteDating using the contact details included below.
8.4.1. AfroEliteDating is only responsible for foreseeable loss and damage caused by AfroEliteDating, if AfroEliteDating fails to comply with these Terms of Use or to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the membership contract was made both AfroEliteDating and the Member or Subscriber knew it might happen.
8.4.2 AfroEliteDating may not be held liable for any damages incurred by a Member or Subscriber in the event those are caused solely by the latter or if AfroEliteDating is not in breach of these Terms of Use and its statutory obligations.
8.4.3 If defective digital content, which AfroEliteDating has supplied, damages a device or digital content belonging to a Member or Subscriber, and this is caused by AfroEliteDating’s failure to use reasonable care and skill, AfroEliteDating will either repair the damage or pay him/her compensation. However, AfroEliteDating will not be liable for damage which the Member or Subscriber could have avoided by following AfroEliteDating’s advice to apply an update offered to him/her free of charge or for damage which was caused by him/her failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by AfroEliteDating.
8.4.4 AfroEliteDating is not liable for business losses. AfroEliteDating will only supply the Services for domestic and private use.

8.4.5 AfroEliteDating does not exclude or limit in any way its liability to Members or Subscribers where it would be unlawful to do so. 8.4.6.

Each Member or Subscriber may at any moment request the suspension of his/her Profile, namely through the ‘My Account’ section dedicated to this purpose, in order to no longer be visible on the Websites nor receive notifications. This suspension is temporary and does not interrupt the Subscription and any current Upgrades. The Member or Subscriber may reactivate his/her Profile at any moment.
Each Member or Subscriber may at any moment terminate his/her registration to the Services or his/her Subscription by requesting the closure of his/her Account from AfroEliteDating, without further charges other than those connected to the transmission of his/her request and without reason, namely through the ‘My Account’ section, by email, using the contact form or by any means which may be indicated in this section.

This removal will not give a right of reimbursement to the Subscriber. The Member or Subscriber will be informed by email about the closure of his/her Account.
This closure will take effect without prejudice to any damages and interest which may be claimed by AfroEliteDating from the Member or Subscriber or his/her successors and legal representatives as restitution for the losses incurred by AfroEliteDating as a result of these breaches.
