Last Updated: March 15, 2026
FaithConnect is a Christian relationship platform operated by Youth With A Global Vision (Company No. 05458750; Charity No. 1142251). We may offer paid features and subscription plans ("Premium Services") to enhance your experience. This policy explains how billing, cancellation, and refunds work in compliance with UK consumer law and the policies of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
1. Our Plans & Pricing
FaithConnect currently offers the following paid options:
- Premium Monthly — £24.99/month (auto-renewing)
- Premium Annual — £199.00/year (auto-renewing, best value)
- Single Introduction — £12.99 one-time fee (non-subscription; purchase access to one guided introduction with a matched user)
Pricing is displayed in GBP. Equivalent local currency pricing may be shown depending on your location. All prices are inclusive of any applicable taxes.
2. Billing & Payment
Payments on FaithConnect are handled through:
- Stripe — for Single Introduction purchases, workshop session fees, and direct platform payments (processed securely; we do not store your card details)
- Apple App Store (iOS) — for Premium subscriptions purchased via the App Store
- Google Play Store (Android) — for Premium subscriptions purchased via the Play Store
For App Store and Play Store purchases, you must comply with the billing terms of those platforms. For Stripe payments, our policy below applies directly.
3. Auto-Renewals
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand. Renewal charges are processed by the App Store or Play Store.
Before purchasing, you will always be informed of:
- Subscription length
- Pricing
- Auto-renewal terms
By subscribing, you agree that your plan will automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date.
4. How to Cancel
You may cancel your subscription at any time through:
- Apple ID Settings (for iOS users)
- Google Play Subscription Settings (for Android users)
Deleting the app or your account does not cancel your subscription. Cancellation must be done through the platform where you originally subscribed.
Cooling-Off Period:
Under UK consumer law, you may be entitled to a 14-day cooling-off period for digital services. However, if you choose to start using Premium Services immediately, you waive your right to a refund for any unused portion.
5. Refunds
Single Introduction (Stripe — one-time purchase):
- The Single Introduction fee (£12.99) is non-refundable once the introduction has been scheduled or a match has been made
- If a technical issue prevents the introduction from taking place, contact us within 7 days at support@faithconnect.love to request a review
Workshop Session Fees (Stripe payments):
- Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the workshop start time are eligible for a full refund
- Cancellations made within 24 hours of the session are non-refundable

Premium Subscription Refunds (App Store / Play Store):
- Apple Support (for App Store purchases)
- Google Play Refund Request (for Play Store purchases)
FaithConnect cannot directly issue refunds for App Store or Play Store subscription purchases. Refunds may be granted by those platforms or under applicable UK consumer protection laws.
6. Feature Access After Cancellation
When you cancel:
- You retain access to Premium features until the end of the current paid period
- After expiry, your account will revert to the free version
- Your matches and data will remain saved unless you delete your account
7. Changes to Pricing or Plans
We may change subscription pricing or features from time to time.
If a change affects your active subscription, we will notify you at least 14 days before your next renewal so you can decide whether to continue.
8. Fraud, Misuse, and Terminations
We may suspend or terminate Premium Services without refund in serious cases of:
- Scamming or harming other users
- Misusing features or attempting to circumvent systems
- Violating our Terms of Use or Safety Policies
Such action will only be taken to protect the safety and integrity of the platform, and in accordance with UK consumer law.

❓ Membership & Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about our plans, billing, and features.
What plans does FaithConnect offer?
We offer three options: Free Membership (£0), Premium Monthly (£24.99/month), Premium Annual (£199/year — saving £100 vs monthly), and a Single Introduction (£12.99 one-time fee).
What is the Single Introduction?
It's a one-time, non-subscription purchase of £12.99 that lets you take one matched person through a full guided introduction — from mutual interest through to a courtship mentor-facilitated video meeting. It does not auto-renew and is not a subscription.
What do I get with a Free account?
Free members can create a verified profile, browse other believers, send up to 5 interests per month, and register for free community workshops.
What does Premium include?
Premium members get everything in Free, plus: unlimited interests, ongoing guided introductions with multiple matches, priority meeting scheduling, free access to all paid workshops, and full access to all platform features.
Will my subscription auto-renew?
Yes. Monthly and Annual Premium subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You will always be notified of the renewal price and date before being charged. The Single Introduction is a one-time payment and does not renew.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Cancel through your Apple ID Settings (iOS), Google Play Subscription Settings (Android), or by contacting us at support@faithconnect.love if you subscribed via our website. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
Can I get a refund on my subscription?
Subscriptions purchased via the Apple App Store or Google Play must be refunded through those platforms. For direct web purchases via Stripe, refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with UK consumer law. The 14-day cooling-off period applies unless you have already started using Premium features.
Can I get a refund on a Single Introduction?
The Single Introduction fee (£12.99) is non-refundable once a match has been made or an introduction scheduled. If a technical issue prevents the introduction from occurring, please contact us within 7 days at support@faithconnect.love.
What happens when I cancel Premium?
You keep full Premium access until the end of your current paid period. After that, your account reverts to the Free tier. Your profile, matches, and data are retained unless you choose to delete your account.
Are workshop fees separate from Premium?
Premium members attend all workshops free. Free-tier members may be charged a fee for certain workshops. Workshop prices are displayed before booking. Cancellations more than 24 hours before a session are eligible for a full refund; cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.
How is my payment processed?
Web payments are processed securely by Stripe. In-app purchases on iOS and Android are handled by the Apple App Store and Google Play Store respectively. We never store your full card details.
