No cancellation / no refund "under any circumstances"
A strict no-refund policy on a five- to six-figure purchase is a meaningful contract risk; reviews are polarised (4.3★ Google vs 2.7★ Yelp).

The verdict
National-scale luxury matchmaking with gated fees ($15k–$250k reported) and a strict no-refund policy — read the contract carefully before a five-figure commitment.
