After5 Alike Policy
Alike is designed to help you connect with another member for a meaningful 1-on-1 meet-up. To keep the experience smooth, fair, and consistent, please review the guidelines below.
1. Match Timeframe
We aim to match you within 2 weeks of your Alike request.
Timing may vary based on availability and match compatibility.
If no match is available within 2 weeks, you will:
-
Stay in the next matching cycle with priority, or
-
Receive After5 credit/voucher to use toward Alike or any other After5 service.
Refunds are not offered.
2. If No Suitable Match Is Available
In rare cases where multiple cycles pass without a match:
-
You will automatically be included in upcoming cycles, or
-
You may choose to receive an After5 credit/voucher to use toward any After5 product or service.
3. If Your Match Is Unresponsive
If your Alike does not reply within:
-
72 hours → we send a reminder
-
7 days → you may request a rematch
4. When You Can Request a Rematch
You may request one rematch per Alike cycle under the following conditions:
Valid Reasons for a Rematch
-
Your match is unresponsive (no reply within 7 days)
-
A safety concern arises, such as:
-
Harassment
- Inappropriate or threatening behavior
- Any interaction that makes you feel unsafe meeting.
-
Harassment
Not Valid Reasons for a Rematch
-
Difficulty coordinating schedules
-
Lack of chemistry or “not feeling it” prior to meeting
-
Slow replies (but not unresponsive)
-
Personal preference changes
We want Alike to encourage real, organic connections — not optimized preference-based matching.
5. If You Are Unresponsive
To maintain fairness:
-
If you do not reply to your Alike within 72 hours, your match may be cancelled.
-
Repeated unresponsiveness may limit your ability to use Alike in the future.
6. Meeting Arrangements
Once matched, both participants are responsible for:
-
Choosing a meeting time and place
-
Communicating clearly
-
Ensuring personal safety
After5 does not arrange logistics or mediate communication between matched users.
7. Safety & Responsibility
Alike introduces you to someone — what happens next is up to you.
-
Always meet in public spaces
-
Trust your intuition
-
You are fully responsible for your own safety and decisions
After5 is not liable for any interactions, communication, or meet-ups before, during, or after your Alike meeting.
8. Refunds & Credits
-
No refunds are issued for Alike
-
In cases where matching is not possible or a match fails for valid reasons, you may receive an After5 credit/voucher
-
Credits may be used for any After5 service or product
