Venus Connections is for individuals twenty one years of age and over. 

By purchasing a membership and submitting an initial questionnaire, the Applicant agrees that he/she is at least twenty-one (21) years of age, single, legally separated, divorced, or widowed. Those who apply for the services offered by Venus Connections are accepted as a client only after Venus Connections is satisfied that there is a reasonable probability that the service can be effective. Even then, there is no express or implied warranty that a life partner can or will be found. Results will vary. Service starts on the effective date as set forth in each client’s initial questionnaire.

You agree to keep all potential match’s information private and for your eyes only. You agree to refraining from speaking about other members of the program while in a virtual date.

Clients who register with Venus Connections agree that there are no guarantees that they will receive a specific number of matches. The client agrees to be available for arranged virtual dates each month. Cancelling an arranged virtual date with less than 48 hours notice will result in the client’s dismissal in the program. After each virtual date the client agrees to complete an evaluation form within 48 hours.

Fees: You agree to a yearly fee for membership as indicated on VenusConnections.com. Membership renewal fees automatically renew one year after 12 months unless cancelled by the member. Members get their first match free then a $35 fee applies to each additional match. In order to place a hold on membership services, the client must contact Venus Connections in writing or via email. Memberships can be put on hold for a maximum of 3 months after which time the member must notify the Company in writing that they wish to either re-activate their membership or cancel. If they wish to cancel their membership they will need to purchase a new membership to join again. All members will need to complete a yearly questionnaire to keep their membership valid and profile up to date.
