3.2 The main objective of the Service is to bring the User into contact with other users, enabling them to communicate with each other via the Platform.
3.3 It is not the objective of the Service to establish real-life contact between the User and other users of the Platform; the User is not banned from making such arrangements with other Users.

The User therefore accepts that the Platform only contains the functionalities and other properties as he finds them on the Platform at the time of use (on an 'as is' basis).

When he creates his Account, the User receives a certain quantity of Credits, predetermined by Festivus Media BV, to get himself familiarised with the Platform.

Please check the Website to confirm the price of Credits prior to purchase. The User must pay for the Credits immediately. The rates listed are always inclusive of VAT and other government levies.
