TERMS & CONDITIONS: All individuals who take part in our events do so knowing that:
TERMS & CONDITIONS: All individuals who have made payment and have participated do so knowing that:
Background checks are not performed by Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC on individuals within the systems of the in-person speed dating, virtual speed dating and Faith Match Catholic Blind Dating programs. This is due to the inconclusiveness of such background checks as one type of background check can differentiate much from other records available with current or former municipality or other body of authority of said match. The system for background checks in society is sporadic, often not updated and can be inconsistent with other records taken at a city, town, county or other similar authority. Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC, Virtual Catholic Speed Dating and National Faith Match Catholic Blind Dating programs are not liable for any damages, injuries or other infractions caused by background checks not being pulled. Participants may look into someone’s background if they so wish.
Therefore, individuals are expected to follow the rules of only meeting other participants or matches in person and in public places only, or over Skype or Zoom if they are three hours away drive time or more from a match. Individuals are expected to follow the rules of not meeting a match at a residence, outside a residence, at a hotel or outside a hotel, at a car, whether inside or outside a car, or other domicile of another participant.
**IMPORTANT: FAITH MATCH PARTICIPANTS MUST KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US ONCE ONLY PER EVERY TWO WEEKS, REACH OUT TO UPDATE VIA EMAIL ON 1. WHAT MATCHES HAVE REACHED OUT TO YOU, 2. HOW THE DATES WENT. 3. HOW MANY MATCHES YOU ARE STILL OWED AND 4. IF IT WAS EVENT RELATED, WHICH EVENT AND DATE YOU SIGNED UP AND 5. YOUR CURRENT DATING STATUS.
Failing to reach out every two to four weeks might result in a delay in your matches, and likely will result in a sudden receipt of several matches at any time. These things often take time. Your file is being worked on and if we come upon many potential matches we may send them all at once if we do not hear back from our inquiries with you. We hold up our end of the agreement to provide the matches so long as you respond to the people given. Please keep in touch via email. Text and messenger messages often get lost, so emailing is required. We have up to 18 months after you have lost contact with us, to match you.
Participants are expected to give relationships a lot of time (until engaged a year at least after starting to date, ideally) and not bombard other participants by insisting on seeing them more than once a week until engaged, for example. This is advisement given by author Thomas Morrow in his Catholic dating books where he focuses to state no couples should be seeing each other more than once per week until engaged. Participants are expected to be safe at all times and take responsibility for that safety. One background check might not show what another will and, given that inconsistency, the responsibility rests with the participant to background check individuals themselves if they wish to investigate. A match is not guaranteed though we strive toward timeliness and perfection in the matching realm. Individuals participating in any of the programs who haven’t received their matches or next match, must keep in touch with the organizer with questions or an update once every two weeks if they haven’t seen results or additional results. There are times the email system compromises matches. We must hear from you via email only.

Denver Catholic Speed Dating & Faith Match are not held liable for decisions made otherwise or meetings that facilitate intentionally or unintentionally the spread of COVID-19. Nor due to failed equipment during the procedure of virtual events yet will work with participants to get devices working, make suggestions, and find ways for participants to speak by phone otherwise if participant has difficulty with audio equipment during such event. For such instances, organizer has up to two weeks to set up the participant on phone dates otherwise. If participant has not submitted match picks, their matches could be late for an infinite amount of time. Those who send match picks over any other platform in Zoom, or they send no match picks during the virtual Catholic events, might have very late results. Typically, matches are emailed up to three to seven days after a speed dating event, and up to a maximum 18 months following the event in the case of serious backup due to tremendous response or other unique circumstances including but not limited to the organizer’s, organizer’s assistants or participants’ having death occur in family or job losses that throw their timing off and initiation takes a bit longer. Typically, Faith Matches are emailed one to eight weeks after signup, and up to a maximum of 18 months following signup in the case of serious backup due to tremendous response or other unique circumstances.
Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC and Faith Match! are not dating services. They are separate entities according to the State of Colorado. We facilitate the meeting of single Catholic and Christian people to the fullest extent possible as per the name of each event. A match is not guaranteed at any time, nor of their age, location, height, weight, or any other statistics related to events or the name of an event, only the sharing of the contact information of those interested in participants, dating or otherwise named. Results are expected to be delivered within one week. However, in the instance of extenuating circumstances, such as event participants sending their choices in late, we have up to eight weeks to deliver those. Events occur in various cities and locales throughout the world but all states and nations are invited to all in person and virtual events.
Participants, upon attending, agree to thereafter the sharing of their email, phone number or both with those they name as a category other than none or blank at the speed dating events. They do so upon their payment for the event. They do so also upon the sign-in sheet. Participants, upon attending, agree to hand in the tabled sheets at the conclusion of the event. By not doing so they’ve taken copyrighted and confidential material off-site and will be matched to those who named them and also receive names of people who named them. The sheets must be handed in at the conclusion.
Participants, upon attending and thereafter agree to advertising and media use of their photos and names. When they get into relationships from or associated with the events, participants agree to use of any photographs made public at any point in time after meeting of the couple. They may submit a request for one engagement and/or one wedding photo additionally for advertising and web page purposes to be used. We prefer, though cannot guarantee, using only one photo and first name use only.
Participants to Denver Catholic Speed Dating, National Virtual Catholic Speed Dating, Faith Match, Zoom Rosary and any other events held wherein, upon attending and thereafter agree to advertising and media use of their photos and names, with all photos taken at events either posted on this site or not posted, and when media outlets request them. They will be asked if they can interview if a request is made and they may accept or decline.
All photos from all mentioned events and other Catholic events planned by organizer(s) of Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC (and those of the couples from it before and after engagement and marriage; as well as names) may be used in any kind of media and across social media including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and the like. No exceptions or negotiations attempted or made before or after apply. Any company using the photos of same couples married through Denver Catholic Speed Dating may be subject to fine. Wherein photography and name use agreement applies upon participation which participants are made aware of in emails sent prior to the event referring to this page, exceptions in having photos used for advertising exist only in the case participants pay $2,000 each to have their photos and first names not used. These photos are never attached to last names, but will use first names only, therefore should not be picked up on search engines. The use of photography is strictly for basic advertisements and is only due to the low amount we charge on event basis and some of the matching compared with other less proven matchmakers. Participants to all speed dating and Faith Match! agree that when they circle any word in boxes other than None on the tabled sheet at speed dating events and/or have submitted payment for Faith Match! rounds, to their information, email or email and phone, being shared with matches or those they name. No exceptions. Denver Catholic Speed Dating and Faith Match do take credit for the couples that unite in marriage having met through its meeting arrangements and does try to use only one photograph upon engagement or marriage with no last names, only first names but it could be the case full names get used, both events strive toward this method of no last names and one to three photographs.
There is no guarantee of receiving a match at any time at any event; for Faith Match! matches, see beneath DCSD for additional terms and conditions. All terms and conditions here apply to Faith Match! as well. In the case of Faith Match!, however, men participants receive contact information for other participants with which they are to follow up on their end once they have alerted organizer and taken the action to submit payment by mail or via online payment. Faith Match! participating men have two to three weeks to contact matches. Upon them not contacting a match, if so happens, women are rematched only upon consistently updates with how many dates they have been on and how many are left.
Faith Match! participants are to contact organizer every two weeks for updates and no more than once every two weeks and on regular email with organizers, not on social media or platforms stated otherwise.
Men and women participants in Faith Match! who are reported by their dates to be rude or cancel plans can be banned from the system without further matches and without refund due to the Faith Match system database of singles being very valuable to us and should be held in the highest regard. Faith Match! participants are matched in varied ways and we might give random matches based on a few key questions or we might base the matches on more of the questions or all. The system is not an algorithm.
Any company looking to plant bad dates into the Faith Match system will be held to court action and pursued to the fullest extent of the law.
Local matches given in Faith Match! (living within three hours of each other) are required to meet in person twice for at least 90 minutes to two hours and no less. If participants wish to meet over Zoom instead, it must be approved by organizer and in such cases, three Zoom meetings are required at least of 90 minutes each. Matching attempts to match the Faith Match participants to someone within five years younger or five years older but reserves the rights to go 10 years or so outside their age if it is obvious there is someone they should meet.
Participants not adhering to rules in Faith Match! stated herein are not eligible for additional matches.
Participants agree upon signup to meet with each person they are set up with through Faith Match at least twice in order to be eligible for the next match. Participants agree upon signup to have their phone number shared with the matches Faith Match has identified and speak with that person and agree upon two dates. When you choose to date in faith, you choose a different way of dating and you agree to trusting in the process and in us and our asking of the Lord to help set you up.
It’s a requirement that participants keep in touch with organizer every two weeks and no less. These updates are required monthly for participants to be upholding their responsibility. Matching can take up to 18 months after beginning (it could be up to 24 months depending on extenuating circumstances to the organization such as death in the family, etc.), but organizer attempts to match within 3 to 5 months, but typically especially the holiday season it matches within 8 weeks the active participants. No refunds are available through Faith Match or Denver Catholic Speed Dating. Only the option to pause for up to two years. It is CRUCIAL to keep in touch with the organizer every two weeks so we know you are not in a relationship. If we don’t hear from you for many weeks we assume you are dating others and participant cannot spring it on us they haven’t gotten matches if they’ve been uncommunicative. When someone has paused Faith Match, Credits can be applied for up to 18 months for Faith Match! participants once restarted. but only if the participants provide monthly updates. Participants assume all risk. Efforts will be made to get credits to those who cannot participate at time at which they are given first matches. Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC, Faith Match! and any of its staff, paid or unpaid, and any of its event sponsor partners, paid or not paid, will not be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect to either participant or property thereof incurred on, before, or after the time of an event.
Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC in the facilitation of Catholic, Christian and Faith Match! named dating events, can deny business for any reason, including the basis for participants acting in a manner apparently unChristianly or demanding or harassing of the organizer. All participants are asked to report unChristianly or out-of-sorts behavior both at the events and in the following weeks and months for up to a year. Participants are asked not to misrepresent themselves as available if they are not and not to harass via text, email or in person or put another person in danger in any way.
Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC has the right to ask someone not to return under a strict policy that if there have been any two or more written or oral complaints that a participant has on dates within the first year of meeting someone there, acted in questionable conduct (i.e. pressured someone in sexual ways or gotten drunk thereby threatening a level of safety to both parties) and any other type of reason that has led to participants not being interested in future Denver Catholic Speed Dating events. Christianly behavior toward both fellow participants and organizer is required of all participants before, during and after said events.
Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC, and Catholic diocese, facility or any public venue within which it operates physically or virtually, are not liable for any injury, emotional distress, or discomfort during or deriving from any given event, virtual, physical nor set up within its operating arm project of Faith Match blind dates nor are any of the public venues nor property held by religious institutions, Catholic or not, within which date setups and the dates and meeting after it take place. Though we strive for accuracy, we will not be held liable for any human error on our part or the part of the establishments our events are held at nor the equipment with which people utilize virtual events. We reserve the right to refuse admission to any person at any time for any reason. The Vatican, the USCCB and any Catholic diocese or Catholic or religious institution, nonprofit or for profit, in the United States or elsewhere that either advertises or promotes by any medium, its events, are held not liable for for any injury, emotional distress, or discomfort during or deriving from any given event, virtual, physical or set up within the operating arm project of Faith Match blind dates.
Daters are not screened in any way by Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC or Faith Match! beyond a short survey. It is the Dater’s sole responsibility to clarify any concerns about other daters’ backgrounds.
It is the Faith Match participant’s responsibility to go on their first and second date with the first match given or they will not receive other dates. Because a Faith Match! participant’s file is always active up to 18 months, and being worked on and analyzed against new participants if their matches are not up, they are considered active once they have paid, receive matches and/or the main questionaire is handed in and they do not receive refunds; It is the Faith Match participant’s responsibility to keep the organizer informed if they have been contacted within two weeks of signing up or they will not be given further matches. Faith Match matching should occur within 2 weeks to 2 months of signup. However, it could extend up to five months to one year since signup if there are complications with participants or our staff getting COVID or the like; or if technology hacks are not resolved quickly. If Faith Matchers appear to harass the organizer in any way with continued complaints, organizer has rights to charge $25 each email for extra emails attempted to keep the participant informed to which participant becomes threatening and/or noncompliant with the process and/or contact law enforcement and/or unenroll the Faith Match participant from the dating pool without refund. Faith Match strives to set people up within three months of completed questionaire. However, Faith Match reserves the right to begin date setups up to one month up to the full cycle of five months from the time the Faith Match season officially ends for that cycle or longer as stated above in very extraordinary and unusual circumstances. Faith Match! operates on the notion that these things take time and does not wish to throw people into matching situations without research first, therefore some matching may take longer than others. We strive for integrity in dating and if participant treats organizer as such we cannot trust they will be compliant with rules of Faith Match in any other way.
Participants are asked to share their emails and phone numbers with the facilitator only and though it is not prohibited to ask for phone numbers at the events, it is usually a privacy matter in which people typically seek to go through the table system the facilitator sets up.

Any and all events with extra circumstances (i.e. being outside of the organizer’s home state or organizer having an event out of state within a month of event in question) are subject to comprehensive results being delivered under typical circumstances, up to three weeks after the event. If other situations come up such as dramatic illness in organizer or assistants or their families, matches might hold off being sent about eight weeks. In situations many participants sent in matches via email or messenger instead of on Zoom chat for virtual events or on a sheet for in-person events, they may not receive matches for six to nine months as results are in many different places. In such cases all participants may at least one week after the event or longer, ask for their specific matches and may request to be given at least the basic match set and their contact information. All participants agree to this upon attending.
Daters are not permitted/allowed to take photographs or to record other daters by any means during or after the event. All cell phones must be turned off during the event and no cameras or recording devices are permitted.

In such cases, a reasonable effort will be made to notify daters. Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC can refuse business to a patron for any reason. This includes mid-business transaction if participants become unprofessional and/or behave in a manner seemingly unChristianly toward participants and/or organizer(s). Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC and Faith Match! reserve the right to breach confidentiality in cases where a participant displays what appears to be anger, what appears to be harassment or other behavior of concern to the organizer or other participants for safety reasons.
Participants understand that results, while organizer aims for 2 to 3 days of having results out, may take 7 to 10 days for all events in Colorado and for events outside Colorado, they have an instant fashion of some results delivered there in an envelope system, and comprehensive results delivered within three weeks.
If participants fail to keep in touch with only one email or at least one email to organizers once every two weeks, matches could take up to three years if there are extenuating circumstances like death in the family to the organizer. However, should participants reach out at least once every two weeks asking for any outstanding match they may have, those will be delivered in a timely fashion so long as participant is understanding at the time of a death in the family to organizer or other associates helping Faith Match and Catholic Speed Dating. These are very rare instances. But those who lose touch a number of months can’t be demanding but must re-establish contact.
Events largely depend upon attendance. Those who are unable to make an event they have paid for may receive a credit to attend a future speed dating event within five months that is hosted by Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC unless it is a conference or sponsoring event to a conference, in which case DCSD cannot get back the funds paid from the hosting venue.
We accept check and cash payment options.
We don’t share your personal information from the official paid speed date events with anyone without your consent beyond the scoring system you participate in when you speed date, beyond the sign-in sheet where you indicate if you want your information shared with those who ask the organizer outside of the scoring system used, and beyond the mutually exclusive male and female distribution lists where you may see emails of other speed daters. Your e-mail and phone number, as well as any other information you provide to us from the paid events, is kept completely confidential beyond the scoring system unless you have indicated at sign-in that it is okay to share if the organizer is asked for it. Through the scoring system (speed dating sheets handed in) you agree for your email (and/or phone numbers if you have not indicated for a current event which to share, and we have to default to prior permission set by you; and for those in the Age 50 and over events) to be shared with those you have indicated your interest in as a Top 5 pick, date, maybe date or friendship. You may receive an occasional e-mail from us informing you of upcoming events, but your e-mail from any paid event you attend will never be shared with any other person or company outside of the scoring system and separate male and female distribution lists that may receive follow-up dating material. If you receive a “match” at a Denver Catholic Speed Dating, we will only share the contact information that you have indicated you wish to have shared, which, at minimum, is the email address given. Virtual speed daters agree the email they provided at registration to make payment is shared to those they name in Date, Friend or Both unless otherwise stated after signup and before event.
Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC is not liable for technological mistakes and human error in the use of technology that haphazardly and unintentionally shares contact information. DCSD takes great measures to make sure privacy is protected but cannot be liable for mistaken use of technology and human error.
Once participants have submitted payment to organizer for Faith Match! participation and told the organizer by email they have done so, they are liable to participate for the full cycle they sign up for – whether the season is one month or up to five months, as the information they receive from that time forward goes toward the process and they access database of the organizer to meet people of the Catholic faith they are sent information for. Copyrighted information is sent to men and women participating as soon as the organizer is alerted participant has taken the action to mail payment. In most cases, only phone numbers are given. Once participant has taken action to mail payment or make online payment to organizer, they are in the process and services are rendered from the moment participant has emailed organizer to alert that payment has been or is being mailed. There are no refunds in Faith Match! Participants must accept their matches and be responsive and agree to and meet with each one twice before receiving any other matches. Check payments may be cashed up to nine weeks following the receipt of payment; but organizer typically tries to cash them within three weeks. This process is often held up by pending holiday vacation; Hence, the term of six weeks is given. Should participant receive matches or be offered to get matches by a stated date and decide against participating, they are financially liable for the full service because the process goes into effect once participant agrees to participate and mail payment or make online payment. Participants who sign up by email, agree to participate when they contact the organizer to alert they are paying. Similarly, participants who sign up by online payment and contact the organizer that they have paid, agree to participate. When services have been rendered, as in at least one match has been emailed, participant has agreed to attend two dates with each of two people as they have accessed organizer database, alerted organizer of their intention to participate and alerted organizer of their payment being mailed. If participant withdraws participation before or after one or two email contacts of people to set up dates with has occurred, they are no longer eligible for future faith match sessions or for a refund. Credits may be obtained, however, only toward future Faith Match! participation in the case of Faith Match! Credits only may be obtained when the event at hand is a speed dating event, toward Catholic or Christian speed dating events. Faith Match is much more stringent on guideline and policy of dating. Denver Catholic Speed Dating participation, however, has a rule of three etiquette violations and speed dater is revoked participation privilege.
Denver Catholic Speed Dating reserves the right to advertise the names first and last, details and photos of engaged and married couples who met at its events. Denver Catholic Speed Dating also reserves the right to photograph at events, but usually reserves this for advertising without the use of names. Names, first and last, may be used in the case of remembrances and memorials.
Participants may be denied business for any reason and can also be asked to leave in the case of apparent harassment of other participants and/or organizer. Follow-up and after-event apparent harassment of organizer and/or participants may result in law enforcement involvement in which confidentiality must get breached in terms of participation names, and may be reported to a diocese official.
*FOR THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC SINGLES SPEED DATING – Emails and telephone numbers will be shared with participants who indicate which means, or both, they want shared with those they mark as Date or Fellowship. This is a variation for conference time constraints during which we attempt to provide date results within 24-48 hours rather than days out and fellowship results within seven days.*
