You may not:

• Copy, reproduce, or distribute our content without prior written consent.

5. Third-Party Links and Affiliate Disclosure

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or affiliate partners. These are provided for your convenience and do not imply endorsement.

Please note:

• We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party sites.
• When you click an external link, you are subject to that site’s terms and policies.

Handicap Dating provides the Service “as is” and “as available.” We make no guarantees, either express or implied, regarding:

• Unauthorized access to your account or content.

If we are found liable, our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) for using the Service in the past twelve (12) months.
