18. CharityVillage’s Liability.

The Site acts as, among other things, venues for (i) Employers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate Job Seekers and (ii) Job Seekers to search for and evaluate job opportunities. CharityVillage does not screen or censor the Job Postings or the identity of Job Seekers and their application, including their resumes. CharityVillage is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, CharityVillage is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the Job Postings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings and CharityVillage makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the Site. While CharityVillage reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, Job Postings, resumes or other material from the Site from time to time, CharityVillage does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

Note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other Users with whom You come in contact through the Site. Other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using the Site.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, CharityVillage 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 Site, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release CharityVillage (and our officers, directors, 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 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

CharityVillage cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the Site, the Services or CharityVillage Content. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from CharityVillage or through or from the Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

CharityVillage encourages You to keep a back-up copy of any of Your User Content. To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall CharityVillage be liable for the deletion, loss, or unauthorized modification of any User Content.

CharityVillage does not provide or make any representation as to the quality or nature of any of the third-party products or services purchased through the Site, or any other representation, warranty or guaranty.
