Instead, our site acts as a venue to allow anyone to buy, sell, bid on, bid for, or access live entertainment services. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell services or the ability of buyers to buy services. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

You hereby agree to waive all laws that may limit the efficacy of such releases. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." This release is also subject to any restrictions or limitations of applicable State law. 

17. Information Control

We do not control the information provided by other members and users that is made available through our system. You may find other Members and user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive.
