You also acknowledge and agree that Users, not LIVAO, are solely responsible for (a) evaluating and determining the suitability of any Host or Experience; (b) assessing whether to engage in an Experience Session with another User and verifying any relevant information about them, including Composite Information; and (c) deciding whether to proceed with an Experience Session on LIVAO.
