About Userplane

Userplane acts only as a forum and technical interface between and among Users and may offer a variety of applications and widgets from Userplane, its affiliates (including AOL Inc., Userplane’s corporate parent, hereinafter referred to as “AOL”) and selected third party licensors to help Users enhance their communities and Web sites. Userplane does not verify the qualifications of Users, nor does it evaluate, control or monitor in any ongoing manner exchanges between Users. You understand and agree that you use Userplane at your own risk. You must use your own judgment in evaluating the qualifications of and statements made by Users. Any opinions expressed by a User are those of the User alone, and are not to be attributed to Userplane. Userplane cannot and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, safety, timeliness, legality or applicability of anything said or written by any User. There are risks of dealing with underage persons, or persons acting under false pretenses. Authentication on the Internet is difficult and, accordingly, Userplane cannot and does not confirm that each User is who he or she claims to be or that they can deliver services or make payments. Userplane cannot control the information provided by Users. Users’ information might be offensive, harmful, untimely, inaccurate and/or deceptive and, accordingly, you agree to exercise caution, discretion and common sense when using the Service.

If you have a medical or psychiatric emergency, call your physician or emergency service immediately. Userplane is not a referral service and Userplane does not endorse or recommend the use of any professional services. You must use your judgment to determine when it is necessary to consult with a provider who is local, licensed in your state or country, available in person, or otherwise possesses the qualifications required to properly diagnose or advise you, especially in areas of expertise such as medicine, law, accounting, psychological counseling, investment, tax or other financial advice, requiring government or regulatory licensing or certification, or for high risk activities.
