If any disagreement arises regarding the interpretation of a term and/or concept used in this Terms of Use, the interpretation determined by the Site Administration shall apply.

This Terms of Use (hereinafter — the Agreement, the Rules) establishes the rules and conditions for using the Site and posting Information on it, and constitutes an agreement between the User and the Site Administration that supersedes all previous agreements between the User and the Site Administration.

Access to the Site, use of the Site and/or performance of any other actions on the Site by the User means that the User accepts and undertakes to comply with all the terms of this Agreement. Completing the User registration procedure on the Site means the User's acceptance of this Agreement.

The Site Administration has the right, at any time and on any grounds, without prior notice, to take the following actions without assuming any obligation to justify them:

• Restrict Users' access, or restrict or terminate access to the site;
• Refuse Users, on any grounds, the posting, moving or removal of any materials on the Site;
• Block or delete Users' accounts, as well as delete any information contained in Users' account files.

By accepting this Terms of Use, the User confirms that the Site Administration bears no liability to the User or to any other persons for carrying out any of the actions specified in the Agreement.

The User understands and agrees that use of the Site may be accompanied by advertising and that such advertising is necessary for the Site to function. The User also undertakes not to restrict the display of such advertising or announcements by making changes to HTML/CSS or by any other means. By using the Site, the User acknowledges the Site Administration's right to place such advertising without prior notice and without any compensation to the User or other users. The manner of placement and the amount of advertising displayed on the Site are determined and may be changed at the Site Administration's discretion. Correspondence and business dealings with advertisers, or participation in promotions conducted by advertisers, including payment, delivery, and the terms, warranties and representations of the relevant services or goods, give rise to rights and obligations solely between the User and the advertiser. The User agrees that the Site Administration bears no liability or obligation for any loss or damage incurred as a result of dealings with advertisers and/or the presence of advertising on the Site.

To gain access to all the Site's features, the User must complete the registration procedure on the Site. Registration is carried out by completing a series of consecutive steps to fill in an electronic registration form, as a result of which the person becomes a registered User and receives an individual login and password to access all the Site's features.

The Site Administration is entitled to block and/or delete a User's Profile, deny access to all or some of the Site's features, and delete the User's Information without explanation, including in the event that the User violates the terms of the Agreement, as well as if the User provides incorrect information about themselves, or the Site Administration has grounds to believe that the information provided by the User about themselves is inaccurate, incomplete, imprecise, violates the terms of this Agreement, or the User is using someone else's information.

Each registered User has a unique login and password required for authorisation on the Site. This individual login and password are intended solely for that registered User.

The User undertakes not to disclose or transfer their login and password to third parties, and to make every necessary effort to ensure that their login and password are not accessible to third parties. The individual login and/or password provide access to sections of the Site available only to registered Users, as well as to personal pages of the Site intended solely for that User.

If any person other than the User logs in to the Site using the User's login and password, all actions performed by that person will be deemed to have been performed by the User. The User is solely responsible for all actions performed by them on the Site, as well as for all actions performed on the Site by any other persons using the User's login and password.

A registered User is solely responsible for safeguarding their login and password, as well as for all consequences that may arise from their unauthorised and/or other use.

In the event of unauthorised use of their login and password, or suspicion of such use, as well as any breaches or suspected breaches of the confidentiality of their account, the User must immediately notify the Site Administration.

The Site Administration is not liable for any possible loss or damage to Information that may occur due to the User's violation of the provisions of this part of the Agreement.

When processing the User's personal information, the Site Administration undertakes to take all organisational and technical measures to protect it from unlawful or accidental access, destruction, alteration, blocking, copying, distribution, and other unlawful actions by third parties. However, it cannot be ruled out that, as a result of a Site malfunction, a virus or hacker attack, technical failures or other circumstances, the User's personal information may become accessible to other persons. The User understands this and agrees not to make any claims against the Site Administration in this regard.

Although the Site Administration requires the User to provide a minimum of information upon registration and authorisation, the User may, at their own discretion and wish, add personal data, and agrees that their personal information contained in their Profile is publicly accessible, and any User of the Site may view it.

The User agrees that the Site Administration collects, stores and otherwise processes the User's personal information for the following purposes:

• identifying a party within the framework of agreements and contracts with the Site Administration;
• sending notifications, messages and information related to the use of the Site;
• communicating with the User in order to provide services, as well as processing requests and applications from the User;
• improving the quality of the Site and its ease of use, and developing new services;
• targeting advertising materials;
• conducting statistical and other research based on anonymised User data.

The User confirms that, by posting their personal information on the Site, they do so voluntarily and voluntarily provide this Information to the Site Administration. The Site Administration does not intend to collect information considered personal data under applicable law, except where such information was voluntarily provided by the User. By voluntarily providing their personal data, the User consents to the processing of their personal data, including its transfer and processing in accordance with applicable law. If the User does not want their personal data to be processed, they must not provide it on the Site.

The User undertakes not to post other persons' personal information on the Site without their consent and/or not to use other Users' personal information in any manner that does not comply with the requirements of applicable law, for unlawful and/or illegal purposes, or for any other purposes not consistent with the purposes of using the Site.

The User has the right, at any time, to change and/or supplement their personal information or any part of it, provided this does not violate the terms of this Agreement.

The User has the right to delete personal information they have provided in their Profile by contacting the Site Administration via the “Contacts” page. This action may restrict the User's access to certain features and sections of the Site.

The Site Administration is not liable for the use of the User's personal information by other persons, including persons to whom this information was transferred by the Site Administration in accordance with this section.

Without prejudice to other provisions of the Agreement, the Site Administration has the right to transfer the User's personal information to third parties in the following cases:

• the User has given their consent to such actions;
• the transfer is necessary for the User's use of the Site or in order to provide services to the User;
• such a transfer is provided for by the established rules;
• such transfer takes place as part of the sale or other transfer of the business (in whole or in part), in which case the acquirer assumes all obligations to comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the User's personal information it receives;
• in order to protect the rights and legitimate interests of the Site Administration or third parties where the User violates the terms of this Agreement;
• the transfer takes place between persons affiliated with the Site Administration; in this case, the recipient assumes all obligations to comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the User's personal information it receives.

The Site contains links to internet sites belonging to third parties, which may be commercial in nature. The posting of third-party content on the Site and links to third-party sites does not constitute an endorsement of such content or sites. The Site Administration is not liable for the content of such sites or the content on them, nor for any goods or services offered by means of such links. Any interaction with third parties, including the settlement of payments and the delivery of goods and services, is carried out by the User independently. The Site Administration is not liable and assumes no obligations in the event of losses or damage of any kind arising from such transactions between the User and third parties. Any questions, claims or complaints regarding any goods or services must be addressed to the relevant seller.

The Site Administration makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Site's round-the-clock operation, but does not guarantee that there will be no interruptions due to technical malfunctions or maintenance work, and does not guarantee the full or partial operability of the Site/Service.

The User hereby confirms their agreement to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Site Administration and all its officers, directors, owners, employees, representatives, information providers, affiliated companies, partners and licensors (collectively referred to as “Partners”) from any liability, obligations to compensate for losses, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any party as a result of any claim, including but not limited to claims for damage to reputation, violation of publicity rights and/or violation of privacy rights, as well as infringement of copyright or trademark rights, in connection with the following actions:

• use of the Site;
• any use or alleged use of the User's account and password by any other person, regardless of whether such person had permission to do so;
• the content, quality and substance of content posted by the User on the Site;
• the User's violation of this Agreement; or
• the User's violation of the rights of any other natural or legal person.

The Site Administration does not guarantee that Information posted on the Site will be available at all times, or that it will not be deleted or lost. The Site Administration is not liable for failures and delays in the Site's operation, nor for any consequences of such failures and delays.

The Administration is not liable for any offensive, knowingly false or inaccurate information, or other information that violates applicable law, posted by other persons, but makes every effort to remove such information from the Site upon request from rights holders and Users. Responsibility for such information lies with the persons who posted it.

All information posted on the Site, including the Site's design and layout, is provided “as is”. The Site Administration disclaims any warranties that the Site is or is not fit for any particular purpose.

In the event that third parties bring claims against the Site Administration relating to the User's use of the Site, the User undertakes to independently settle such claims with the third parties, protecting the Site Administration from possible losses and litigation.

Nothing in the Agreement may be construed as establishing agency relations, partnership relations, joint venture relations, employment relations, or any other relations not expressly provided for by the Agreement, between the User and the Site Administration.

A court's finding that any provision of the Agreement is invalid or unenforceable does not entail the invalidity or unenforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

If the Site Administration fails to act in the event of a violation of the provisions of this Agreement by the User or other Users, the Site Administration retains the right to take appropriate action to protect its interests at any time. Inaction does not mean that the Site Administration waives its rights in the event of the same and/or similar violations being committed in the future.

This Agreement may be amended by the Site Administration without any special notice; the new version of the Agreement takes effect from the moment it is posted on the Internet, unless otherwise provided by the new version of the Agreement. If, after such amendments take effect, the User continues to use the Site, such actions confirm the User's agreement with the amendments. If at any point the User can no longer comply with the terms of the Agreement, the User must immediately stop using the Site.

The Site Administration may also apply restrictions to certain functions and services, or restrict the User's access to the entire Site or to individual parts of it, without notice and without liability, for technical or security reasons, in order to prevent unauthorised access, loss or destruction of data, or in cases where the Site Administration, at its own discretion, believes that the User is violating this Agreement or another law.

The appropriate addresses for sending legally significant communications are as follows:

• for the Site Administration — the “Contacts” page;
• for the User — the email address listed in the User's Profile, or the email address specified when contacting the “Contacts” page.

This Agreement constitutes a public offer. The User's actual use of the Site, its services, and any Information posted on it is deemed to be the User's consent to the terms of this Agreement (acceptance).
