Disputes between members
If you have a dispute with another member, we hope that you will be able to work it out amicably.

Accordingly, to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, you release us (including, without limitation, our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any claims, demands, damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes, whether threatened or actual.
If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or releasing party.”
Member Transactions
In the event that you use the Site or Service for any transactional features (such as posting items for sale or free for other users), you are responsible for your own decisions and actions. In
addition, such use does not make us an employer, placement agency, representative, or agent of or for you or any other member. We are not a party to any transactions or disputes between Zonzon members. If you write a recommendation or other comment about a transaction with another or their business (for example, a recommendation of a tutor), you agree to be truthful, fair, and neighborly in your comments and to not post any of their personal information (e.g., address, mobile number, or photos) without their permission.
