5.1 Free Service Period

During our growth phase, Match My Move is currently offered FREE of charge to estate agents while we build a significant database of property buyers in each area. This free access period allows agents to:

  • Register and verify their agency credentials
  • Add property searches and requirements
  • Receive buyer matches and leads
  • Access all platform features without payment

5.2 Future Paid Subscription Model

Once we have established a substantial buyer database in your area, the service will transition to a paid subscription model at a cost of £100 per month plus VAT. We will provide reasonable advance notice (minimum 30 days) before:

  • Any subscription fees become payable
  • The specific start date for billing
  • Implementing payment requirements

At that time, you may choose to continue with a paid subscription at £100+VAT per month or discontinue use of the service. Until then, enjoy full access at no cost.

5.3 Payment Processing (When Applicable)

When subscription fees are introduced, payments will be processed securely through Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method. Subscription fees will be charged monthly and are non-refundable except as required by law.

5.4 Cancellation

You may discontinue use of the service at any time during the free period. Once paid subscriptions are introduced, subscriptions may be cancelled at any time through your account settings, with cancellation taking effect at the end of the current billing period.
