DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES OR LIABILITY
Crew4Crew.net is only a venue. This Web Site acts as a venue for employers to post job opportunities and candidates to post CV/resumes and does not screen or censor the listings offered. The Company is not involved in the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, the Company has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or CV/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. 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 the Web Site and/or the other Crew4Crew Sites.
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, the Company cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be.

If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code d1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
