Our Rights and Obligations — What We Must and May Do

The purpose of BizNected is to provide a service to facilitate professional networking among Users throughout the world. It is intended that Users only connect to other Users who they currently know and seek to further develop a professional relationship with those Users.

For as long as BizNected continues to offer services, BizNected shall provide (and seek to update, improve and expand, in similar and different new ways) the BizNected platform and service with the purpose of providing all members with professional networking connectivity, through BizNected’s proprietary tools, rules and protocols which BizNected may update, improve, discontinue and change at any time, at BizNected’s sole discretion.

Any other use of BizNected (such as seeking to connect to someone a User does not know or to use BizNected as a means of generating revenue through the sale of contacts or information to others) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of this Agreement.

We allow you to access BizNected as it may exist and be available on any given day. We have no other obligations, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. We may modify, replace, refuse access to, suspend or discontinue BizNected, partially or entirely, or to charge and modify prices for BizNected.

b) enforce this Agreement;

c) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third-parties;

d) respond to your requests for customer service; or

e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of BizNected, the BizNected Affiliates, its Users and the public.

BizNected may limit the number of connections you may have to other Users and prohibit you from contacting other Users through use of the Services.
