Read the contract carefully before signing up for a dating service

MEDINA, Ohio - Phyllis Disalvo of Medina signed a 3-year, $5,500 contract with Great Expectations dating service in Independence, but weeks later, felt like she didn't get what she expected.

Phyllis said she didn't have the opportunity to look at how many available men were in the companies data based prior to signing the agreement. Phyllis said the sales person told her if she didn't sign the agreement in her first visit, she would lose a sizable discount.

She admitted she should have taken more time to make her decision, and now she's stuck with a legally binding contract and dating service she no longer wants.

The Better Business Bureau of Cleveland is warning consumers not sign expensive dating service contracts right away. Consumers are being instructed to give themselves a day or two "cooling off" period before signing up.

Make sure you read the contract carefully and understand all terms of the agreement, including the cancellation policy.
