Soulfys will always conduct a face to face registration in person  at a public venue for the safety of both parties. Terms & Conditions and agreement of the Privacy Notice must be electronically signed for/confirmed via email at least 24 hours before the registration/screening process takes place. If Terms & Conditions and agreement of the Privacy Notice has not electronically been signed for/confirmed via email at least 24 hours before the registration/screening process takes place, Soulfys has the right to cancel/rearrange the registration/screening appointment. An audible recording of all registrations/screening appointments is preferred to ensure all accurate information is captured; your matchmaker will always ask for your consent to record the registration/screening before any recordings are carried out.

You will be required to provide valid photographic proof of ID and proof of address (this is to confirm that you reside in the area of Northamptonshire or surrounding areas in Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Warwickshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire).
