Terms and Conditions for Users

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully (the "Terms and Conditions", the ”Terms”). These Terms and Conditions govern and apply to the access and use of the online platform https://www.livelisteners.com/ (the “Platform”, “Livelisteners”), the services available through the Platform and any information, text, graphics, photos or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Platform (collectively referred to as the "Content”).

Livelisteners is offered to you (“you”, “your”, “User(s)”) by Double 4 Live Entertainment (the "Company"), incorporated in Romania, and whose principal office is located at 273, Splaiul Independentei, 3rd floor, Bucharest.

When the terms "we", "us", "our" or similar are used in these Terms and Conditions, they refer to any company that owns and operates the Platform, its affiliated companies and the shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, agents, advisors, assignees, and successors of the aforementioned companies.

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to comply with and to be bound by all the terms and conditions described in these Terms. If you do not agree to be bound to any term of these Terms and Conditions, you must refrain from signing up to the Platform, you must stop making any use of the Platform and you should not access the Platform.

THE LISTENER SERVICES

Our Platform enables you to communicate with a Therapist, consultant, practitioner, professional adviser or any other person (collectively the "Therapist") for the purpose of getting counselling, information, advice or any other input, benefit or service (collectively the "Therapist Services"), as well as with a Confidant, a non-professional adviser, or any other person (collectively the “Confidant”) for the purpose of getting listened to, advised, counselled in an non-professional manner or getting any other input, benefit or service (collectively the "Confidant Services”).

In these Terms and Conditions, or any other legal document, as well as on the Platform and its Content, we will be referring to Therapists and Confidants collectively as the “Listeners”. You acknowledge, confirm, and agree that the Listeners are neither our employees nor agents nor representatives. Moreover, we assume no responsibility for any act, omission or doing of any Listener.

Livelisteners makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as to:

  • the willingness or ability of any Listener to listen.
  • the willingness or ability of any Listener to give advice.
  • whether the User shall find a Listener’s act of listening useful or satisfactory.
  • whether the User shall find a Listener’s advice relevant, accurate or satisfactory.
  • whether the Listener’s act of listening will be useful.
  • whether the Listener’s advice will be responsive or relevant to the User’s question.
  • whether the Listener’s advice will otherwise be suitable to the User’s needs.

We do not control the quality of the Therapist or Confidant Services and we do not determine whether any Therapist or Confidant is qualified to provide any specific service.

While we may try to do so from time to time, in our sole discretion, you acknowledge and agree that we do not represent to verify, and cannot legally guarantee the verification of the skills, degrees, qualifications, certification and/or licensure, credentials, competence or background of any Therapist or Confidant, as documents may be presented to Livelisteners. It is your responsibility to conduct independent verification regarding any Therapist that provides you with Therapist Services or regarding any Confidant that provides you with Confidant Services (whether through the Platform or not). Also, we strongly recommend that you will conduct this verification prior to communicating with any Therapist or Confidant through the Platform and on a continuous basis as you use the Platform.

You also acknowledge and agree that you take full responsibility for the decision to access a Listener through the Platform and to continue to interact with the Listener, and that the role of Livelisteners is strictly limited to providing access to such Listeners for your consideration.

Your relationship relating to the Therapist or Confidant Services is strictly with the Therapist or the Confidant. We are not involved with the actual substance of that relationship or any part of the Therapist or Confidant Services (whether provided through the Platform or not). LIVELISTENERS DOES NOT VALIDATE OR CONTROL ANY OF THE THERAPIST OR CONFIDANT PROVIDED COUNSELING.

In case you make a payment through the Platform, or make any payment to us, this payment is made to the Therapist for the Therapist Services or to the Confidant for the Confidant Services. We may charge the Therapist or Confidant by taking a portion of this payment for the use and operation of the Platform. However, we will not be deemed as the Therapist of any Therapist Services or as the Confidant of any Confidant Services regardless of payment. Furthermore, the payment for the use of the Platform is made by the Therapist or Confidant, and not by you.

USE OF THE PLATFORM
