Summary

Existing law defines and regulates dating service contracts. Existing law requires a dating service contract to be in writing and requires that a copy of the contract be provided to the buyer at the time he or she signs the contract. Existing law further requires that a dating service contract contain a conspicuous statement, placed as specified, regarding the right of the buyer to cancel the agreement. Existing law establishes procedures for cancellation, including providing that cancellation occurs when the buyer gives written notice of cancellation by mail, telegram, or delivery to the seller at the address specified in the agreement or offer. This bill would establish specific alternate provisions for a dating service contract with an online dating service, as defined.
