The Company respects the intellectual property
of others, and we ask our users, account holders and content partners to do
the same. The unauthorized reproduction, copying, distribution, modification,
public display or public performance of copyrighted works constitutes infringement
of the copyright owners rights. As a condition to your use of this Web Site,

The Company's Liability.
Masseurfinder.com is only a venue. This Web
Site acts as a venue for massage therapists and bodywork professionals to post
advertisements and does not screen the listings offered. The Company is not
involved in the actual transaction between massage therapists and potential
clients. As a result, the Company has no control over the quality, safety or
legality of the advertisements posted, the truth or accuracy of the advertisements,
or the skills of the massage therapists. In addition, note that there are risks,
including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers.
You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom You
come in contact through the Web Site.
Because user authentication on the Internet
is difficult, the Company cannot and does not confirm that each user is who
they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings
or control the behavior of participants on the Web Site, in the event that You
have a dispute with one or more users, You release the Company (and our agents
and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct
and indirect) 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.
We are under no legal obligation to, and generally do not, control the information
provided by other users which is made available through the Web Site. By its

The Web Site Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The Company
makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness
of any Web Site Content. The use of the Web Site Content is at your own risk.

You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for the form, content
and accuracy of any advertisement contained therein placed by You on the Web
Site.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEB SITE
WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE WEB SITE AND ITS SERVER ARE FREE OF COMPUTER

discretion, to pursue all of its legal remedies, including but not limited to

the Company, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against

your expense, in defending any such claim, suit or proceeding.
