"Terms of Service", "Terms" or "Terms of use" apply to your access to and use of our Services. A "member" is someone who is also using our Services.
You must be at least 18 years old to access or use this Service. By registering to use our Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old.

Furthermore, we are not liable for any interaction with your property such as theft or accidents.
You have sole responsibility when interacting with other members. Our Services provide a platform for members to learn about one another, arrange a meeting and communicate with one another.

You are solely responsible for your interactions, such as - but not limited to - communication, meeting, lending, borrowing and activities with other members of our Services.

We do not investigate or verify any member’s reputation, conduct, morality, criminal background, or any information members may submit to the website. We encourage you to take precautions when interacting with other members, particularly when meeting a stranger in person for the first time.
Because our Services are merely a platform, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more members, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law you release us from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
