Paid subscription deleted

    Hi all

    Ok so I have had a subscription to pof for like 3 yrs. Today I tried to log on and found no trace of my account - I got a friend to search for me and said there was no sign, so I have probably been deleted.

    As a paying subscriber, should they have refunded me the remaining pre charged balance?

    I Have e-mailed them but it'l probably be a week before I hear back so I was wondering what my options are.

    Thanks

    Maybe they received complaints about you.

    Probably but thats not the point.

    A subscription was cancelled without being fulfilled. Is that breaking the law or what?

    Maybe, maybe not.

    I'm not trying to be a smart-arse but they don't teach Plenty of Fish's terms and conditions in law schools. You probably know the answer to this better than we do. Or will admit to.

    I am presuming online contracts are all bound by the same laws in this country so Forget the pof bit and see if you can answer my question.

    Nobody can answer a question on contracts without seeing the contract.

    Put it this way. If I subscribe to boards.ie, and then I contravene their Ts & Cs by posting material that promotes or facilitates illegal activity, I can be removed.

    Boards.ie is entitled to be compensated on the basis of the subscription it has lost on foot of the termination of the contract, thus retaining the fee to which it was entitled, had I adhered to the terms of our contract.

    That's not legal advice. That's just how contracts and damages work.

    But when you paid the subscription, you agreed to the T&C of the site, and they might have a term that allows them to do this

    Well if their terms and conditions allow them to terminate without notice the accounts of people who have been reported for something like abuse or stalking and you were reported for those things then they'd be in their rights.

    Do a search 18 - 25 in Limerick. If you can go through ten people and not laugh at the eyebrows you win.
