Profile paused : Profile visibility is paused, so the profile becomes invisible and inaccessible to dating site subscribers. The user's subscription time continues to run during the break.

Cookie (cookie) : Cookies are used to record session information which makes it possible to remember, in particular, the display language chosen, the search preferences, communicate the selections made from the mobile application to the site and vice versa. . This piece of information allows our server to assign the correct “user account” the sales and commissions generated by a personal link. Blocking this cookie may affect the proper functioning of our services. 

User : the single user is subscribed to the dating site and/or the referral program; couple user can subscribe to referral program only. 

 

Use of Company Content  

 

As a user of the EFFET TANDEM site, we provide you with written, video or multimedia material and all other informational documents developed by us or by our valued collaborators. The purpose of this material is to offer you support for the use of the dating site and for the various services offered, as well as to encourage your personal reflection. This corporate content may not be used for any purpose other than your personal use or to promote our services. Other than user-generated content, our platform is a collective work, governed by Canadian law. It does not grant any license or right and remains the intellectual property of EFFET TANDEM inc.  

 

User Content  

 

At all times, it is forbidden to communicate illegal content or infringe anyone's intellectual property. It is also prohibited to copy another user's personal information, store and disclose the details in any way. 

EFFET TANDEM reserves the right to remove a user's access to all portals of the platform in the event that one of the terms and conditions is not respected. A written warning will be sent to you beforehand asking you to rectify the situation. No refund will be granted to a user who has been blocked by our administration. 

 

Our packages  

 

We offer three (3) different subscription packages (calendar months): 1 Month Effect package, 3 Month Effect and 6 Month Effect. See Subscription payment.  

 

Your registration  

 

To register on the dating site, you must use a valid email address of which you are the holder. EFFET TANDEM recommends the use of a free email service whose domain name is generic (eg hotmail.com) and not used for representation purposes (eg company.com). This address will be used as your identifier to connect you to the entire EEFFET TANDEM platform and so that we can send you confirmation and security emails. See Community Communication > Messaging.  

Registration begins the process of creating your profile, including what you are looking for as a relationship and offering a description of your personality. When finalizing the registration, a personal referencing link is assigned to the new user. See Your Personal SEO Link . 

  

Register using a personal link  

 

When you sign up through the link of a user registered with the referral program and subscribe to a 3 Month Effect or 6 Month Effect package, you allow the owner of the personal link to receive a monetary reward. At the same time, you receive an additional month of subscription which will be added free of charge at the end of the package you have chosen. Not applicable on the subscription of a 1 Month Effect package. 

The benefits associated with the use of the personal link are applicable only when it comes to new customers who subscribe to the 3 Month Effect or 6 Month Effect package. 

By subscribing, you agree that we transmit the following data to the recipient of the reward: your first name, your city of residence and the date of your subscription. 

 

Continuous period of inactivity to the referral program 

 

After 24 months without having generated new referrals, the unclaimed sums of your balance will be paid into the financing fund for activities dedicated to singles in the EFFET TANDEM community. These sums cannot be claimed after this period. Please note that you will be notified by email of this situation in the 21st month, in the 23rd month and 7 days before the expiration of the 24th month, giving you the opportunity to claim your amounts due. The personal link remains active and valid, unless the account is deleted or blocked. 

 

Authentication eIDComparison MD  

 

When creating your account, we will ask you for this mandatory information to be able to access our services: first name, last name, date of birth and home address. 

In its quest for integrity and mutual respect, EFFET TANDEM uses Equifax 's eIDComparaison TM service . They offer a reliable, real-time online identity verification process aimed at establishing whether you actually exist. This process is an update-type inquiry (soft hit) that will be entered, without consequence, in your credit file. 

THIS SERVICE DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CREDIT SCORE AND DOES NOT CONDUCT ANY INVESTIGATION IN THIS SENSE. This registration process only applies to users of the dating site. It does not apply to users who only use the referral program. Click on the Privacy Policy tab to learn more. 

Following authentication with the firm, it is possible that your access to the site will be refused or that your identification may require manual validation, depending on their established security codes. For example, if you have declared that you have lost your identity documents or if you are a newcomer to the country, we will have to manually validate your identity. You will then be prompted to call customer service at the following number, 514-500-0078 to complete your authentication process with a customer service agent. 

Once your identity has been validated, we will authenticate your photos. This is why we ask you for a photo-witness to be taken at the time of your registration. See Photo-witness . 

 

Your personal SEO link  

 

Personal links are assigned during registration for new customers, that is, during their initial registration on the dating site. 

This link allows you to launch your invitations to other singles and thus increase the pool of our candidates. In addition, this link allows you to offer a free month to your referrals and thus receive monetary rewards. 

Your personal link remains valid at all times. It's important to note that if your referrals don't open your personal link and sign up directly on the dating site, they won't get their free month. Once this link is opened by a single person, it remains active for 90 days following the opening of this link. So, each time a single person opens your link, the 90-day period starts again. If, within 90 days, your referral registers directly on effettandem.com without using your link, the affiliate link and the associated benefits will be maintained through the use of a cookie.

In this sense, check that your search engine accepts cookies, since they are necessary for registration and the allocation of rewards to accumulate as a member of our referral program. For example, if a single person receives a link from two different people, the last opened link will take precedence. 

Promotional code : If you receive a promotional code, this code must be used when registering in order to receive the benefits associated with it. It will be too late to claim it after completing your registration.

Your user account  

 

Identity theft remains a possibility, so we have implemented an authentication system to minimize these situations. Therefore, you agree to provide accurate, truthful and current information about yourself. If you suspect that a user met on this dating site is using a false identity, we invite you to communicate this information to us as soon as possible. 

You are only entitled to one user account , of which you are solely responsible for the content, maintenance, integrity, confidentiality and security. We need to be able to identify you to approve your registration request and publish your profile. You are therefore responsible for your interactions with members of the community. 

The safety of our members is our priority. Accounts that are fraudulent or subject to serious misconduct complaints will be removed immediately. We will also block all accounts created for human trafficking, sex trade or illicit purposes. No prior warning will be given, and this, unequivocally. EFFET TANDEM reserves the right to report any user to the legal authorities and jurisdictions.

Reporting : You also agree to report to the administrators of the platform any misuse or attempted misuse or unauthorized use, to help us maintain the integrity of the site and the confidentiality of users who subscribe to our site. A report initiates an internal investigation process to determine and validate the basis of the complaint. The result of the investigation can conclude with a warning to the subscriber at fault and even go as far as his expulsion from the dating site. A report will always remain confidential. See Privacy Policy . 

Right to delete: You can delete your user account from the EFFET TANDEM network at any time. Your personal information will be completely removed from our server and we will not be able to recover this data under any circumstances. You must go to the Parameter > Manage my subscription section. 

  

Your profile  

 

By registering on the dating site, it is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. Also, you can update your profile information by clicking the Settings > Edit My Profile tab . 

Your profile is like your business card, where you describe who you are with authenticity and integrity. It should contain enough information about you to attract the attention of other subscribers in the community, without revealing you in a reckless way. 

You can choose the privacy of your profile: public, private or paused. The default privacy is the public profile. However, you can manage your security, privacy, subscription, and some general options by going to the Settings tab . 

After 24 months of inactivity on the EFFET TANDEM dating site, your profile photos will be deleted. Your other information will remain latent. Your username, password and personal referral link will remain active and valid unless the account is deleted or blocked. 

Paused profile : When your profile is paused, it is no longer visible until you put it back in public or private mode. No one will be able to write to you. By selecting this mode, you will continue to have access only to the Unite tab which contains our video capsules, our blog and our multidisciplinary specialists. This mode does not pause the duration of your subscription whose time continues to elapse. 

 

Your photo witness  

 

Before you are asked to upload photos from your album, we will ask you to take an unretouched photo of yourself in the position indicated during the registration process. You must appear alone. No hat, sunglasses or other artifice should partly hide your face. This allows us to properly identify you. 

Specifications : the photo must be in .JPG, .PNG and .GIF format, be at least 400 pixels x 400 pixels and less than 10 megs in size . 

Why do we ask for such a photo? The photo witness is used for the authentication process of all the photos published on your profile. In particular, it prevents users from presenting old photos that are no longer representative on their descriptive sheet. It will not be visible and will remain confidential. 

If your photo-witness does not meet our conditions, we will ask you to take it again.

 

Your photo album  

 

You must upload a minimum of two (2) photos, up to a maximum of six (6). They must be recent, ie taken within the last two (2) years. We need to be able to identify you. Photos must be clear, well framed and of sufficient graphic quality. In addition to the portrait photo (passport type, with a smile), we also suggest uploading at least one head-to-toe photo of yourself. 

You must appear alone in each of your photos, which includes no presence of minors, such as your children. 

Authenticated photo : Authenticated photos are validated using your photo witness. These photos will have a small green check mark in the upper right corner. Only the main photo must be authenticated and portrait type. 

Portrait photo : This is the first photo in your profile and is considered the default photo. This must be authenticated, taken up close and we must be able to distinguish your features easily. It must also respect the following criteria: recent and of good quality, taken in close-up, be alone, from the front, without sunglasses or a hat or other artifices. 

Photo validated: All photos where one can easily claim that it is you but not certify it. These photos can reveal interesting information about you. For example, a photo taken from behind while you are climbing. 

Rejected photos : Photos that are blurry, too dark, too small, too far away and on which we can see another person's body part are rejected. Photos of a suggestive nature will be automatically refused (posings with bare torsos, bikinis or lingerie, etc.). No unsightly photos will be accepted (no middle fingers, funny faces, photo filters, montages, company logos, etc.). No violence, weapons or any other object of bad taste. Fake photos will be quickly identified and removed during our validation process.

We are a community of nice, intelligent and respectful adults. EFFET TANDEM reserves the right to refuse any image that goes against its corporate values, without giving any justification. 

We will notify you by email if the rejection of some of your photos means that you no longer have the two minimum photos required. You will be invited to submit news within the next 72 hours. After this time, your profile will be temporarily suspended while the situation is rectified.

 

Communications within the community  

 

By using our services, you agree to receive communications from EFFET TANDEM. In some cases, we may also ask for your permission to contact you by means other than email or the message center, for quality assurance purposes. 

us : The easiest way to contact us is through your instant messenger. We use an online chat operated by the company Crisp https://crisp.com/ 

It is also possible to reach us by phone, email or by clicking on the Contact Us tab . 

Messaging: The personal messaging box offers all its subscribers the possibility of chatting and making video and audio calls. It is the best point of contact between you and other subscribers. You can filter your messages there. This integrated system allows you to maintain the integrity of your personal data, such as your phone number and email address. Note that the audio/video call function must be unlocked between two users before being able to establish communication. This avoids being surprised by an unwanted call. 

Tandem Flower : The Tandem Effect Flower is a symbol of courtesy. Every day you receive a new flower to share. You cannot accumulate them, nor share them twice with the same person. 

Thought of the day : Subscribers to the dating site have the option of sending us a thought of the day of their choice. These inspiring little texts can come from a quote, a personal reflection, a maxim, a proverb, etc. If your thought is selected, you will be notified by email of the date of publication on our platform. You should know that your thought will be accompanied by the main profile photo, your first name and the name of your city. It could also be used on our social networks. Your profile must therefore be in public mode so that we can select your thought. EFFET TANDEM reserves the right to correct spelling errors, modify or reduce the text. 

Copyright : Some published texts are sometimes subject to copyright or even a trademark. It is the subscriber's responsibility to provide us with the author's name and verify their sources.

PCI-DSS Standard : Your information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). It is the global standard for security in the storage, processing and transmission of banking data. 

All direct payment gateways meet minimum PCI-DSS requirements. Moreover, this infrastructure stems directly from the joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Data relating to your purchase transaction is kept for as long as necessary to finalize your order. 

Automatic Renewal : The 1 Month, 3 Month and 6 Month Effect packages are our current regular packages. In order to avoid any interruption of our services, these will be renewed automatically at the end of your previously chosen subscription. For all other temporary promotional packages, the automatic renewal will be made to the package in force closest to this promotion. A courtesy email notifies you when your subscription is about to expire. It is possible to change the package with which your renewal will be made or choose not to renew your subscription, in particular by going to Settings > Subscription > Manage my subscription at any time . >

Expiration of Your Credit Card : If your credit card has expired, you will receive an email seven (7) days prior to processing your subscription payment. This will allow you to update your credit card payment settings. 

 

Repayment 

 

Clearly communicate your dissatisfaction with our service in writing to EFFET TANDEM customer service using the Contact Us section. Following the analysis of your request, if it is justified, we will be able to refund the unused time according to the prices and durations of the packages that were in effect at the time of your initial membership. 

Depending on the time that has elapsed since the start of your subscription, we will close your package to shorten it by considering which one would be the most advantageous for you. 

For example, if you have chosen a 3-month or 6-month plan and you request a refund after using our services for 25 days, we will convert your initially chosen plan to a one-month use plan. . We will reimburse you for the difference between these packages, taking into account the prices that were in effect at the time of your subscription. Similarly, if you had chosen the 6-month Effect plan and you request a refund for dissatisfaction after 35 days of use, we will close your plan by converting it to a 3-month Effect plan. We will therefore refund you the difference between the price you had paid for 6 months and that which was in force for 3 months of use on the date of your subscription. 

If you have chosen the 1-month Effect package and it has started, unfortunately no refund is applicable. 

Note that when a subscriber terminates his subscription simply because he no longer wishes to continue using our services, before the end of the previously chosen term, EFFET TANDEM does not offer any refund.
