10. FORCEBRANDS's Liability.

FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM acts as a venue for EMPLOYERS to post job opportunities and CANDIDATES to search for job opportunities, post resumes, and Profiles. FORCEBRANDS is not involved in the actual transaction between EMPLOYERS and CANDIDATES. As a result, FORCEBRANDS has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of EMPLOYERS to offer job opportunities to CANDIDATES or the ability of CANDIDATES to fill job openings and FORCEBRANDS makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM.

FORCEBRANDS may take any action with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes that such User Content could create liability for FORCEBRANDS, damage FORCEBRANDS's brand or public image, or cause FORCEBRANDS to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other suppliers. While FORCEBRANDS reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes or other material from the FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM from time to time, FORCEBRANDS does not assume any obligation to do so and disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

In addition, note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other Users with whom You come in contact through FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM. By its very nature, other people's information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, FORCEBRANDS cannot and does not confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Because FORCEBRANDS does not and cannot be involved in User-to-User dealings or control the behavior of participants on the FORCEBRANDS Platform, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release FORCEBRANDS (and its agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

The FORCEBRANDS Platform and the FORCEBRANDS Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. FORCEBRANDS makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the FORCEBRANDS Platform or the FORCEBRANDS Content. The use of the FORCEBRANDS Platform and the FORCEBRANDS Content is at your own risk. Changes are periodically made to FORCEBRANDS Platform and may be made at any time. You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for the form, content, and accuracy of any resume or material contained therein placed by You on the FORCEBRANDS Platform. EMPLOYERS are solely responsible for their postings on FORCEBRANDS Platform. FORCEBRANDS is not to be considered to be an EMPLOYER with respect to Your use of any FORCEBRANDS Platform and FORCEBRANDS shall not be responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason, made by any EMPLOYER posting jobs on any FORCEBRANDS Platform.

FORCEBRANDS cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from FORCEBRANDS or through or from the FORCEBRANDS PLATFORM shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
