Additionally, suppose a user sends illicit or inappropriate information to another user. In that case, we might be held accountable even though we merely transmit messages from one user to another without our knowledge.
• Therefore, we request all users take responsibility for their actions and understand that any damage caused by another user cannot be attributed to us but only to the user who caused the damage.
• Although we strive to provide users with reliable and high-quality systems, we may experience errors or system failures from time to time. Such issues are unavoidable when running a system of this magnitude.

Additionally, Setindiabiz will not be liable for any damages resulting from unauthorised access or alteration of user’s transmissions or data, such as loss of profits, use, data, or other intangibles, even if Setindiabiz was made aware of the possibility of such damages. The user further agrees that Setindiabiz will not be liable for any damages arising from interruption, suspension, or termination of service, including direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages.
