Last Updated: August, 2026

Welcome to The Dating Garage.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.thedatinggarage.com, including its pages, accounts, membership areas, books, digital field guides, cheat codes, downloads, bundles, videos, articles, email content, products, services, and other related materials.

In these Terms, “The Dating Garage,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to The Dating Garage and its operator. “You” and “your” refer to the person accessing the website, creating an account, making a purchase, or using our content or services.

By creating an account, making a purchase, joining a membership, selecting an acceptance box, or otherwise using a feature that refers to these Terms, you agree to be legally bound by them.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not create an account, make a purchase, or use restricted portions of the website.

3. Educational and Entertainment Purpose

The Dating Garage provides general dating education, communication guidance, commentary, humour, practical tools, and entertainment.

Our content is not a personalized matchmaking service, dating agency, counselling service, medical service, mental-health service, legal service, or professional advisory service.

The content is intended to provide ideas, examples, perspectives, and practical frameworks. It is not a substitute for your own judgment or for advice from a qualified professional who understands your individual circumstances.

4. Accounts and Login Credentials

Certain website features, memberships, downloads, or purchased products may require an account.

When creating or using an account, you agree to:

Provide accurate and current information
Maintain only one account unless otherwise permitted
Keep your login credentials confidential
Use a secure password
Promptly update information that changes
Notify us of suspected unauthorized access
Accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account

You may not:

Allow another person to use your account
Share paid-content login credentials
Sell, rent, transfer, or sublicense your account
Create an account using false information
Impersonate another person
Attempt to access another customer’s account
Use automated tools to create or control accounts

Contact info@thedatinggarage.com promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

We are not responsible for losses caused by your failure to protect your login credentials, except where responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

5. Orders and Purchase Acceptance

Placing an order does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.

An order is accepted when we or the applicable sales platform issue an order confirmation, provide product access, deliver the product, or otherwise confirm acceptance.

We may decline or cancel an order when reasonably necessary because of:

Product unavailability
An incorrect product description
A pricing or technical error
Suspected fraud
Unauthorized payment activity
Duplicate transactions
Violation of these Terms
Geographic or legal restrictions
Problems preventing delivery
An error by a payment processor or sales platform

If we cancel a directly processed order after payment has been completed, we will provide an appropriate refund unless the transaction is fraudulent or otherwise subject to a lawful restriction.

6. Prices, Taxes, and Billing Information

Prices are displayed in the currency identified at checkout.

You are responsible for reviewing the complete product description, price, billing terms, delivery method, and access conditions before completing a purchase.

Applicable sales taxes may be added at checkout.

Any mandatory charges controlled by The Dating Garage will be disclosed before you complete the transaction. Charges imposed by law, payment providers, financial institutions, currency-conversion services, internet providers, or third-party marketplaces may be outside our control.

You agree to provide accurate and complete:

Name and contact information
Billing information
Payment information
Tax-related information where required
Delivery information where applicable

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted with your order.

We may correct obvious pricing, description, or technical errors. When an error materially affects an order, we may contact you, cancel the transaction, or offer the opportunity to purchase at the correct price.

7. Payment Processing

Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors, ecommerce providers, or marketplaces.

By completing a purchase, you authorize the applicable provider to charge the selected payment method for:

The displayed purchase price
Applicable taxes
Clearly disclosed shipping charges
Clearly disclosed recurring charges, when applicable
Other charges expressly accepted at checkout

The Dating Garage generally does not directly receive or store complete credit card numbers or banking credentials.

Payment processors and marketplaces handle payment information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

A failed, reversed, disputed, or unauthorized payment may result in:

Cancellation of the order
Suspension of account access
Revocation of product access
Cancellation of a membership
Collection of an outstanding balance
Restriction of future purchases

Nothing in this section limits rights available under applicable consumer-protection or payment-card laws.

8. Digital Product Delivery and Access

Digital products may be delivered through:

A download link
An email
A customer account
A membership area
A protected webpage
A third-party platform
Another electronic delivery system

You are responsible for:

Providing a valid email address
Checking spam and junk folders
Maintaining compatible devices and software
Downloading purchased files within any stated access period
Saving reasonable backup copies where permitted
Protecting downloaded materials from unauthorized access

Delivery is considered complete when the product or access instructions are sent to the email address you provided, made available through your account, or delivered through the applicable platform.

Contact info@thedatinggarage.com if a directly purchased digital product is not delivered or cannot be accessed.

We may replace, update, or correct a digital file after purchase. Access to future revisions, new editions, bonuses, or updated versions is not guaranteed unless expressly included in the product description.

9. Printed Books and Physical Products

Printed books or other physical products may be sold directly or through third-party retailers such as Amazon.

Orders placed through a third-party retailer are governed by that retailer’s:

Purchase terms
Payment procedures
Shipping policies
Return policies
Refund procedures
Customer-service processes

Questions involving a third-party order should generally be directed to the retailer that processed the transaction.

For physical products sold directly by The Dating Garage, the product description, checkout information, and posted return policy will apply, subject to applicable law.

Delivery dates are estimates unless expressly guaranteed.

10. Memberships and Recurring Billing

The Dating Garage may offer free or paid membership access.

A membership does not create recurring billing unless recurring charges are clearly disclosed and accepted before checkout.

When a paid recurring membership is offered, the checkout page will identify relevant information such as:

The membership price
Billing frequency
Trial period, when applicable
Renewal terms
Included benefits
How to cancel
When cancellation becomes effective

By purchasing a recurring membership, you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge the selected payment method at the disclosed intervals until the membership is cancelled.

Cancellation normally stops future renewal charges. It does not automatically create a refund for a billing period that has already begun unless required by law or stated in the applicable refund policy.

Membership benefits, content, and features may change over time. We will not materially increase a recurring price without providing any notice required by applicable law.

11. Separate Purchases

Membership access may provide entry to designated areas or content but does not necessarily include every product offered by The Dating Garage.

Printed books, digital field guides, cheat codes, bundles, premium downloads, courses, special releases, or future products may require separate purchase.

The product description at the time of purchase determines what is included.

Do not assume that a product, update, bonus, membership feature, or future release is included unless it is expressly listed.

12. Refunds and Cancellations

Because digital products can often be accessed, copied, or downloaded immediately, directly sold digital products are generally non-refundable after delivery or access has been provided.

However, we may review requests involving:

Duplicate purchases
Incorrect charges
A product that was not delivered
A corrupted or unusable file
A product materially different from its description
Unauthorized transactions
Other circumstances requiring a remedy under applicable law

Submitting a request does not guarantee a refund.

Refund eligibility for printed books, memberships, subscriptions, or physical products is governed by the refund or cancellation terms displayed at checkout or in the applicable Refund Policy.

Purchases made through Amazon or another third-party marketplace must normally be addressed through that marketplace.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates a refund, cancellation, warranty, or other consumer right that cannot legally be waived.

13. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Contact info@thedatinggarage.com before initiating a chargeback when you believe there has been a billing error or product-delivery problem.

You may not knowingly submit:

A false chargeback
A fraudulent payment dispute
A claim that you did not receive content you accessed or downloaded
An unauthorized-payment claim when you authorized the transaction
A duplicate refund request
A payment reversal intended to retain a product without paying for it

Fraudulent or abusive payment disputes may result in account termination, revocation of access, denial of future purchases, or submission of relevant transaction evidence to the payment processor.

This section does not prevent you from exercising a legitimate right to dispute an unauthorized, incorrect, or unlawful charge.

14. Limited Personal-Use Licence

When you purchase or access a Dating Garage digital product, you receive a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use that product for your own lawful, non-commercial purposes.

You do not acquire ownership of the product, design, intellectual property, source files, brand, or underlying content.

We may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue a website feature, membership benefit, download method, product, or service.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or another form of liability that cannot legally be limited.

32. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Saskatchewan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer of mandatory protections available under the laws that apply to that consumer.

33. Dispute Resolution

Before beginning formal legal proceedings, you and The Dating Garage agree to make a reasonable attempt to resolve the dispute through direct written communication.

A dispute notice should include:

Your name
Your account or order information
A description of the problem
The resolution requested
Relevant supporting information

Send dispute notices to info@thedatinggarage.com.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be brought before a court or tribunal with lawful jurisdiction.

Where legally permitted, proceedings involving The Dating Garage will be brought in Saskatchewan, Canada. This does not override a consumer’s right to bring a claim in another forum where that right cannot legally be restricted.

Natural disasters
Severe weather
Fire

Updated Terms will be posted with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Changes apply prospectively from the effective date unless applicable law permits otherwise.

Where a material change affects an active paid membership or requires additional notice or consent, we will take reasonable steps to provide it.

Continued use after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

36. Assignment

You may not transfer your account, purchase rights, licence, or obligations under these Terms without written permission.

We may transfer our rights and obligations as part of a legitimate business sale, reorganization, financing, or transfer, subject to applicable law.

37. No Waiver

A failure or delay in enforcing a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver is effective only when made in writing by an authorized representative.

38. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
