Unequal Distribution of Profiles: Users should be aware that the distribution of male and female profiles on our website may not be equal or proportionate. While we strive to offer a diverse range of profiles, external factors beyond our control can influence the availability and allocation of profiles. Consequently, we cannot guarantee an equitable balance between male and female profiles on our platform.
No Partner Finding Guarantee: Users expressly acknowledge and understand that our services do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding their ability to find a partner. While we diligently strive to create a trustworthy platform for facilitating connections, the outcome of finding a compatible partner is influenced by various factors, including individual preferences, mutual compatibility, and external circumstances. Consequently, we are unable to guarantee the efficacy or success of our website in facilitating successful matches.
