So in order to be able to reach the ladies in all cities of the Ukraine and make it affordable for them, we incur considerable expenses in maintaining offices/Internet café, where the ladies can use the computer in certain areas 24/7 and use the help of our translators.
There are always managers and administrators in the offices who will interview the new ladies in person, register them and check the passport and other relevant information in order to validate the ladies.
The ladies can sign up for a new photo session free of charge for them, when it is time to update their profile and or they want to add new photos to their album.
