2.2. If the User does not agree, they must stop using the Service.

2.3. The Operator records the fact, date and version of the accepted Terms.

2.4. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available".

3.1. The Operator grants the User the right to use the Service: create a profile, take part in events, search for people and receive AI recommendations, exchange contacts, receive notifications, take part in polls and leave event feedback.

3.2. The Service is an information intermediary and is not a party to relationships arising between Users (including business, investment or employment relationships).

  • running the event, its cancellation or rescheduling, and ticket refunds are the Organizer's responsibility and are handled under the Organizer's terms in compliance with applicable law; claims related to the event should be addressed to the Organizer;
  • the Operator is not responsible for the running, cancellation, rescheduling or content of a paid event (see also section 9).

8. Artificial‑intelligence features

8.1. The Service uses AI (including third‑party providers such as OpenAI) to: structure profile data, build vector representations (embeddings), perform semantic people search, generate recommendations, compatibility summaries and first‑message templates, and — where those features are used — recognize text in images and transcribe audio.

8.2. Accuracy disclaimer. AI outputs (recommendations, summaries, generated messages, matches) are produced automatically, are informational and may be inaccurate, incomplete or wrong. They are not advice, a guarantee of compatibility or a recommendation to take any action. The User makes their own decisions.

9. Networking and offline interaction (important)
