2 Acceptance of the Terms

2.1 You accept the Terms by remaining on the Website. You may also accept the Terms by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms where this option is made available to you by CitySwoon in the user interface.

3 Events

3.1 CitySwoon may, from time to time, offer you the opportunity to attend special events run by CitySwoon (the "Events"). The Events may have a displayed age range for each gender and you will have to be within that range to be eligible to attend. It is your responsibility to ensure that you purchase a ticket to an Event for which you are within the appropriate age range.

3.2 CitySwoon reserves the right to refuse participation for any reason that will impact the enjoyment of the event for other participants or cause any safety concerns or for any reason whatsoever. You also must adhere to any venue requirements including, but not limited to dress code, inebriation or intoxication, ID requirements and any instructions by their staff and managers.

4 Purchases and Delivery Policy

4.1 You will be provided with an opportunity to pay the relevant purchase price for a ticket to Events. You acknowledge and agree that the purchase price for tickets to the Events are non-refundable and are paid in advance prior to an Event organized by CitySwoon taking place.

4.2 Cityswoon reserves the right to offer discounts to the Ticket Price from time to time.

4.3 All event ticket or online service purchases, as listed on the website, are delivered electronically and will be delivered immediately upon completion of a successful online credit card payment or telephone credit card payment.

5 Event refunds

5.1 Please understand that planning a Cityswoon event is a highly customized, time-consuming process, which incurs costs to the company prior to an event taking place. We do our very best to ensure that each guest is placed at the most suitable event. A cancellation at any time can be a real setback to the process so we have a strict no refunds policy. Your place cannot be reserved or confirmed until payment has been received.

5.2 If you have pre-paid and/or paid and booked into an event but do not attend, you are not eligible for a refund under any circumstances (except to the extent that your consumer guarantee rights, which are described later in these terms, entitle you to a refund). If you notify our Customer Service team in writing 7 days prior to the event that you're unable to attend, we will happily offer you a credit to attend another event that is of equal or less value to the amount that you have paid.

5.3 The sole recourse in the event of dissatisfaction with a Cityswoon event is to attend another Cityswoon event at half the advertised non-member cost, unless your consumer guarantee rights entitle you to anything more than that. The customer service and events team at Cityswoon work hard to ensure that every event has an approximately equal number of men and women. However, some people fail to attend an event even though they have accepted an invitation and paid. Should a significant difference in numbers adversely affect your experience at a speed dating event, or should you have fewer than 4 matched dates at any event where at least this number of matched dates is advertised, we will happily book you into another event at half price. Please note that mere dissatisfaction with the people you meet at an event does not entitle you to attend an event at half price.

5.4 In the event of a cancellation or postponement (outlined below), you acknowledge that Cityswoon will not provide a refund unless the condition laid out below regarding postponement or alternative events are not available for whatever reason

5.5 You acknowledge and agree that any refunds provided for under this clause are at CitySwoon's sole discretion.

6 Cancellations and Postponements

6.1 On occasion, a Cityswoon event will have to be postponed. We recognize that our guests look forward to attending our events and that postponing an event can be extremely frustrating. Please be assured that we make every effort to ensure that all events proceed as planned and only cancel an event when we are confident that the experience for our guests would not be up to the normal high standard. Speed dating relies on there being an approximately equal number of men and women and if there is a significant difference in the number of men and women, or there just aren't enough people overall, then we prefer to choose the lesser of two evils and postpone the event.

6.2 If we are not able to fill an event we will either reschedule the event for another date, usually no more than 6 weeks from the date of the original event, or we will happily book you into an alternative event using the credit we have applied to your account. You will be notified of the new date by email and/or text message before the day of original event (unless we have an unusually large number of people cancelling on the day of the event in which case we will notify you on the day). If this new date is not convenient you will be offered the opportunity to wait for the next suitable event.

6.3 From time to time, CitySwoon may conduct ID checks either at the venue or prior to the event commencing. If you are found to be more than two (2) years outside the age range, CitySwoon reserves the right to refuse you participation in the event. Where you are refused access CitySwoon may, at their sole discretion, offer tickets to an alternative event with a more appropriate age range.

6.4 In booking an event you understand that Events are highly dependent on the number of attendees and that CitySwoon may, at their sole discretion, elect to cancel an event. Where an event is cancelled pursuant to this clause 6.3, CitySwoon will use all reasonable endeavors to find a suitable replacement event. You will be notified of the new Event date through the email and/or phone number provided with your Account. Where a new Event is not possible, CitySwoon will credit the value of the Event to your account to be used at a later date.

6.5 In the event that an event can no longer be held as a result of local, state or federal Covid-19 restrictions or in the event of a lockdown closing all venues, your CitySwoon account will be credited the value of the Event to be used at a later date. You will not be eligible for a refund under these circumstances.

6.6 In the event of a last minute cancellation, on the day of your event, or in the case that you do not turn up to the event, you agree that you may be charged a no-show fee to the credit card you purchased your ticket.
