The Website and the Service are provided "as is" and AnastasiaGlobal expressly disclaims any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

Female Members. AnastasiaGlobal functions to provide the opportunity to its male and female Members to effectively and comfortably search for their prospective soul mate. AnastasiaGlobal does not influence the relationships between male and female Members of the Website. Female Members may terminate their membership with the Website at any time. Deactivation of profiles of female Members of the Website is governed by the following:
In the event a female Member is no longer interested in the Services, AnastasiaGlobal customer support administrators shall review the correspondence between such female Member and a male Member with whom the female Member has been corresponding (the “Correspondent”) and shall have the right to make a decision, in their sole discretion, with respect to the issuance of unused credits back to the male Member. Notwithstanding the above, AnastasiaGlobal customarily issues no more than 10 credits back to the Correspondent for such Correspondent’s last letter to the deactivated female Member.
In the event a female Member had requested her profile to be deleted from the Website for unspecified personal reasons, the Correspondent shall not have the right to receive any information with respect to the deletion of such female Member’s profile, as same would be in violation of AnastasiaGlobal’s Privacy Policy. Furthermore, the Correspondent shall not be entitled to any unused credits with respect to his correspondence with such female Member. AnastasiaGlobal may, at its discretion, issue 10 credits back to Correspondent’s account for Correspondent’s last letter to the female Member, if this letter was the last one in their correspondence.
In the event, a female Member had found her match, and same is not the Correspondent, the Correspondent shall not be entitled to any unused credits with respect to this correspondence with such female Member.
In the event, a female Member had been reported for inappropriate activities, AnastasiaGlobal may, at its sole and unfettered discretion, issue a partial refund in credits to the Correspondent, who had informed the Website of such female Member’s inappropriate activity by providing incontrovertible evidence of same.
In the event, a female Member had been found on an anti-scam site, such female Member’s profile may be deleted from the Website provided that AnastasiaGlobal, in its sole and unfettered discretion considers the supplied information substantial and irrefutable and issue a partial refund in credits to the Correspondent who provided such information.
AnastasiaGlobal operates in full compliance with the International Marriage Broker Law (IMBRA).
Limitation of Liability. Except in jurisdictions where such provisions are restricted, in no event will AnastasiaGlobal be liable to You or any third person for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including also lost profits arising from Your use of the Website or the Service, as well as damages for loss of date, loss of programs, cost of procurement of substitute Services or Service interruptions, even if AnastasiaGlobal knows or has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, AnastasiaGlobal’s liability to You for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by You to AnastasiaGlobal for the Service during the term of membership.
U.S. Export Controls. Software from the Website (the "Software") is further subject to United States export controls. No Software may be downloaded from the Website or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other Country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone who is listed on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By downloading or using the Software, You represent and warrant that You are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.
Disputes. You acknowledge that that the transactions involving your use of the Website and your purchase of products or services took place in New York City, New York. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Website or to products or services sold or distributed by AnastasiaGlobal or through AnastasiaGlobal will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitration shall take place in the city of New York, state of New York. New York law will govern the rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the matters in controversy. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. But an arbitrator can award you the same damages and relief, and must honor the same terms in this agreement, as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitrator will allocate all costs and fees attributable to the arbitration between the parties hereto equally.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
You will attempt to resolve all disputes with respect to the Services through communication with AnastasiaGlobal’s customer service. If parties are unable to resolve the dispute, You must use the dispute resolution mechanism discussed above in this Section 14. You specifically acknowledge and agree that You will not attempt to chargeback any charges you authorized if you used the goods and/or Services provided. You further agree that should AnastasiaGlobal demonstrate that a chargeback was unjustifiable, You shall incur an additional administrative charge of five cents ($ .05) cents per dollar of the amount of the chargeback. Such charge is not intended as a penalty, rather it shall be used to cover the administrative expenses incurred by AnastasiaGlobal in connection with the chargeback. You shall also be required to pay any and all fees assessed by a credit card, bank or any other third party with respect to the chargeback which may range from $20 to $200 per chargeback, together with any reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs incurred by AnastasiaGlobal with respect to the reversal of said chargeback. Please also note should you chargeback any transactions billed to your account, AnastasiaGlobal may be required to disclose any and/or all private communications sent/received by You through our Service in order to prove the validity of the charges billed to Your account and AnastasiaGlobal’s privacy policy will therefore not restrain any such disclosures.
Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold AnastasiaGlobal, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and other partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Your use of the Service in violation of this Agreement, and/or any allegations that any Content that You submit to AnastasiaGlobal or transmit to the Website infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; and/or arising from a breach of this Agreement and/or any breach of Your representations and warranties set forth above. This indemnity shall be applicable without regard to the negligence of any party, including any indemnified person.
Other. This Agreement, accepted upon use of the Website and further affirmed by becoming a Member of the Service, contains the entire Agreement between You and AnastasiaGlobal regarding the use of the Website and/or the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
