A dating agency cannot:

• collect payment, a deposit or registration fees before you begin receiving the services;
• collect payment for services in one instalment. The total amount of the invoice must be paid in at least 2 approximately equal instalments. The instalments must be claimed at regular intervals, e.g. at the beginning and middle of the period covered by the contract.

Exceptions: payment in one instalment

The dating agency can demand payment in one instalment in either of 2 situations:

• the total value of the services is $100 or less (including taxes);
• the services are provided over 3 consecutive days or fewer, regardless of their value.
