At the same time, under clause 1.1.3. of the Agreement, registration on the Site is available without the provision of an e-mail address, that is why We encourage You to remember Your username and password to be able to enter into Your account and to the non-public portions of the Site.

To recover Your password, You may use the dedicated page in Your account. However, if You do not provide Your e-mail address and You forget Your username or password, then We will be unable to confirm that such account is indeed Yours and thus You will be unable to recover access to Your account.

All data processing is done pursuant to Our Privacy Policy and the third-party service provider’s privacy policy. We may request additional documents from a Member for Verification to establish Your age and identity both prior and after the Verification, and We may also change the number of documents requested from Members from time to time at Our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to review all and any verification results received from the service provider engaged at a time and render Our own final and binding decision as to the acceptance of data provided. However, should the Site verify the identity of a particular Member, such verification does not reflect or have any bearing on that Member's professional reputation or reliability as a proper business partner and, therefore, it should not be relied upon. Verified Members are in no way endorsed by the Site or its agents and have not been subjected to any screening process except as described above in this provision. Therefore, We specifically disclaim any and all liability associated with any communication, both online or offline, between any user and such Verified Member.
