16- TIPS ABOUT ONLINE
DATING) The following PRECAUTIONS are incorporated into
this agreement and are part of the Service user Agreement.
17.While Online dating
can lead to off-line friendships you could be exposing
yourself to a risk of physical harm. Service is specifically
advising you to be careful in your dealings with those
you meet or correspond with through this service. Service
cannot screen these individuals nor does it advise you
to proceed unless you assume all risks associated with
meeting "strangers'. You certainly need to proceed
with caution. You would not give a stranger on the street
your name, address or telephone number, so don't do
it online. Protect yourself with the following common-sense
guidelines.
18.REMAIN ANONYMOUS
Don't give anyone your personal information including
email address, phone number, address or place of work
during early correspondence. Stop communicating with
anyone who tries to pressure you into giving this information.
You are also granted the “Block user” option.
Any members bugging you, block him. Don’t hesitate.
By blocking him/her we will no longer be able to send
you messages or SMS.
19.Trust your Intuition,
if you don't want to respond to someone, don't. It is
often simply kinder no to respond to someone you immediately
know is not your type. If you suspect someone is trying
to lie to you, you are probably correct. Don't waste
time trying to elicit the truth from them. Accept that
they are dishonest and not likely to change. Drop correspondence.
Remember the “block user” and “No
thanks” options. They are used for your protection
and safety. If you block a user, MeetStrangers.com will
not unblock him/her upon his request no matter what
his/her excuse.. Only you can unblock him/her.
20.Do not reply
to mean-spirited and nasty messages. Don't allow yourself
to be pressured into meeting anyone. When you do decide
to meet someone who company you enjoy online and we
counsel against that, meet in a public place and bring
your friends. Plan a short initial meeting in a public
setting and allow yourself to leave if you don't feel
comfortable. If you start feeling unsure or uncomfortable
about your meeting or date, politely extricate yourself
from the situation. Excuse yourself and leave by the
back door if necessary. Service has no mechanism to
and does not prescreen individuals who respond or place
dating profiles, personal advertisements or any other
material "online" through our service. It
neither can nor does it assume any responsibility for
any information, data and other contents thereof for
any contacts received in response thereto, for any meetings
that may subsequently result (whether by telephone,
in person, or any other means or for any other consequences
of any and ALL kinds, whatsoever (whether direct or
indirect).
