Dating Services

If your search for a mate includes contacting a dating service, there are many services available. But no specific law regulates dating services, so it’s important to exercise good judgment and common sense when dealing with them.

If payment of more than $50 is required in advance of the service being provided, the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, requires that the contract be specific and disclosed before being signed.

You’re protected against unfair practices such as misrepresentation and deception in promotions and sales pitches. If you can show you’ve been the subject of an unfair business practice, you have one year to cancel the deal and get your money back. One way to do this is by sending the seller a registered letter. If that doesn’t produce results, you can take the seller to court and/or contact the Consumer Protection Branch, where our experts in complaints resolution can help you decide on your best course of action.
