The Publisher shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for such errors.
Article 5 - Relationship between the Service and the referred Dating Sites
The Dating Sites which offer products and services accessible through the Site are independent entities, separate from the Site.

The Site shall not be held liable for providing access to these services. The User acknowledges that the Dating Sites’ websites are not under the control of the Site. The Site shall not be responsible for their content, advertising, products, services or any other material available on or from them, as well as the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information collected.

Article 6 – Service Liability
General Liability
As a technical service provider, the Site does not control the information content, in particular prices, provided by the Dating Sites. As a result, the Site is not responsible for the content on the Site and the offers posted on the Site cannot be considered as final, definitive or binding for the Site. Carefully reading the relevant general and particular conditions provided by the Dating Sites, as well as the Pricing Conditions, which are the only binding documents with contractual value in the relationship with the chosen Dating Site, are the sole responsibility of the User. The Site cannot exhaustively reference all Dating Sites nor their offers but a limited number of offers. The User therefore acknowledges and accepts that the Service does not aim to provide a comprehensive overview of all the dating services available on the market, but only of a limited sampling of Dating Sites. Similarly, the User is informed that the Site does not provide any advice as to the choice of a dating site: the User acknowledges that he/she remains in all circumstances the sole judge of the choice of the site and/or related services that he or she will choose. The Site is not intended to exonerate the User from doing his/her own research in order to form his/her own judgement regarding the services and rates of the selected site. The pricing conditions of the Dating Sites may change, therefore the Site cannot accept any responsibility for any difference between the prices mentioned on the Site and the prices actually offered by the selected Dating Site. The Dating Sites referenced on the Site have no obligation towards the Site User: giving a favourable outcome to a request to open an account, a credit or a service is at their own discretion. Likewise, the site having no obligation to advise nor any active role in the selection of the Dating Sites’ eligible members, in no way can its liability be invoked in any respect whatsoever.
