The core of the site, Free registration, profiles, messages, chat, forum, is available without a paid tier, so nothing has to be spent to have a profile, browse or write a message. Paid options add extras on top of that base rather than unlocking basic contact.
How does billing work, and can I get a refund?+
Terms are Auto-renews; 14-day withdrawal; cancel to term end. That means a paid plan renews on its own, there is a withdrawal period after signing up, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the term rather than immediately. Readers who want to stop should decide before a renewal rather than after one.
