2. About the Site.

The Site is a platform that connects persons with certain needs, wishes, and desires (a “Wish” or  “Wishes”) with persons who have the ability to fulfill such Wishes.  Persons using the Site are referred to herein as “Users”.  SimplyWishes and the Site act only as a conduit or platform to provide information and connect Users.  If any User determines in his or her sole discretion to grant the Wish of another User, such transaction will be solely between the two Users and neither SimplyWishes nor the Site will be a party to such transaction and neither has any responsibility or liability for any Wishes granted by one User to another User.  

SimplyWishes reserves the right to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Site or its services at any time with or without notice, including, but not limited to, requirements or eligibility to use the Site.   

SIMPLYWISHES OFFERS INFORMATION AND A METHOD FOR PERSONS WITH WISHES (“WISHERS”) TO CONNECT AND COORDINATE WITH PERSONS WHO CAN FULFILL THOSE WISHES (“GRANTORS”).  EACH GRANTOR IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING THE LEGITIMACY OF ANY WISH BEFORE FULFILLING IT.  EACH WISHER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER TO ACCEPT FULFILLMENT OF A WISH FROM A GRANTOR AND WHETHER SUCH FULFILLMENT WILL MEET THE WISHER’S NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS. EACH GRANTOR AND WISHER ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIRMING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A WISH WILL BE FULFILLED, INCLUDING THE IDENTITY, CONTACT INFORMATION, AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION REQUIRED TO FULFILL THE WISH.  SIMPLYWISHES HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY WISHES SHARED OR FULFILLED ON THE SITE VIA THE SITE AND  SIMPLYWISHES DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE FULFILLMENT OF ANY WISH WILL SATISFY THE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE WISHER.  

SIMPLYWISHES IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENTS ENTERED BY USERS FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF WISHES.  SIMPLY WISHES HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF USERS AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IN THIS REGARD TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  ANY USERS WHO DECIDE TO MEET IN PERSON REGARDING THE FULFILLMENT OF A WISH ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO SO IN A SAFE MANNER FOR BOTH USERS.
