Table of Contents
1. Zygä Web Service
1.1 Zygä is an online peer-to-peer sharing platform operating also as a Vehicle, mainly bicycle, identity database enabling registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “Lenders” and the services they offer are “Lending Services”) to publish such Lending Services on the Zygä (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact with Members that are seeking to reserve such Vehicle Sharing (Members using Lending Services are “Borrowers”).
1.2 As the provider of Zygä, Zygä Ltd does not itself own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Vehicles or Lending Services. Lenders alone are responsible for their Vehicle Listings and content shared by them. When Members make or accept a reservation, they are then entering into a contract directly with each other, not with Zygä Ltd. This means that Zygä Ltd is not a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members nor it acts as a broker or an agent for any Members.
1.3 While Zygä may help to facilitate the resolution of disputes, it would then do so at its own discretion, and Zygä Ltd has no control over any disputers and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings, the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content. Any references to a Member being "verified" only indicate that the Member has completed the verification or identification processes offered with the service. Any such description does not mean that Zygä Ltd would guarantee that it is trustworthy. It remains the Members’ own responsibility to exercise careful due diligence when deciding whether to reserve a Vehicle from a Lender, accept a reservation request from a Borrower, or communicate with other Members in any form.
1.4 If a Member chooses to use Zygä as a Lender, the Member’s relationship with Zygä Ltd is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venture or partner of Zygä Ltd and the Member acts exclusively on their own behalf and not on behalf nor for the benefit of Zygä Ltd.
1.5 Zygä may contain links to other websites ("Third-Party Websites") as well as articles, photographs, text, graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, applications, software, and other content or items belonging to or originating from third parties ("Third-Party Content"). Such Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Content are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by Zygä, and Zygä Ltd is not responsible for any Third-Party Websites accessed through Zygä or any Third-Party Content posted on, or available through, Zygä, including the content, accuracy, offensiveness, opinions, reliability, privacy practices, or other policies of or contained in the Third-Party Websites or the Third-Party Content. Inclusion of, linking to, or permitting the use or installation of any Third-Party Websites or any Third-Party Content does not imply approval or endorsement thereof by us. Members should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any website to which the Member navigate from Zygä. Any purchases made by Members through Third-Party Websites shall be through other websites and from other companies, and Zygä Zone Ltd takes no responsibility whatsoever in relation to such purchases which are exclusively between the Member and the applicable third party. Members agree and acknowledge that Zygä does not endorse the products or services offered on Third-Party Websites and Members shall hold Zygä Zone Ltd harmless from any harm caused by the Members’ purchase of such products or services.

1.10 The access or use of certain areas and features of Zygä may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that Members accept additional terms.
