Belgranoltd. welcomes you. The following terms govern your access to and use of AllMale.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through AllMale.com (the "Website"), whether as a guest or a registered user.
Please read these terms carefully before you start to use the Website because your access is on the condition that you agree to these terms. Please pay special attention to the following sections: (1) disclaimer of warranties and limit on liability (section 12); (2) place for resolving disputes (section 16.2); (3) mandatory mediation and arbitration (sections 17.3 and 17.4); (4) jury trial waiver (section17.7); (5) class action waiver (section17.8);and (6) limitation on time to file disputes (section17.9).
By accessing the Website, or by clicking to agree to the terms when we make this option available to you (for example, during registration), you agree to these terms. If you do not want to agree to these terms, you must not access or use the Website.
Minors Prohibited. The Website may contain sexually explicit content and is not intended for minors. Only adults who are at least 18-years old that have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction may access the Website. We forbid all persons who do not meet these age requirements from accessing the Website.
Section 230(d) Notice. Under 47 U.S.C. § 230(d), we notify you that parental control protections (including computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available that may help in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. You may find information about providers of these protections on the Internet by searching "parental control protection" or similar terms. If minors have access to your computer, please restrain their access to sexually explicit material by using any of the following products, which we provide for informational purposes only and do not endorse: CYBERsitter™ | Net Nanny® | CyberPatrol | ASACP.
Drafting Notice. We present these terms in a relaxed question and answer format for the most part. We do this for your convenience, not ours. By presenting these terms in question and answer format, we do not imply or suggest that they do not form a binding agreement between you and us. These terms are just as binding as if we presented them to you in a stuffy legal format that only people of legal training would understand.
You should read these terms in full because they apply every time you visit AllMale. But just in case you ever need a quick reminder of the important points, here's a brief summary:
If you are under 18-years old or the age of majority in your community, unfortunately you can't use AllMale yet because it's a meeting place for adults only.
We're not responsible for anything that you post or say while you are on AllMale and we don't monitor the content of the Website, but if we do see or someone tells us that you have posted something that we think is inappropriate, we may remove it.
We do not conduct criminal background screening of our users. To learn about online dating safety, visit our online dating safety tips page.
If you post any content that actually belongs to someone else and they get annoyed (or even call in their lawyers), we are not in the firing line. You have to take responsibility for what you post.
All disputes are subject to mandatory mediation and mandatory arbitration in the Netherlands.
If you are concerned about how AllMale is using your data, please refer to our privacy policy. It will tell you what you need to know.
We may change these terms on one or more occasions, but changes will not apply to ongoing disputes or to disputes arising out of events happening before the posted changes.

There is no substitute for acting with caution when communicating with any stranger who wants to meet you.
Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in your Internet profile or initial email messages. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information or tries in any way to trick you into revealing it.
If you choose to have a face-to-face meeting with another user, always tell someone in your family or a friend where you are going and when you will return. Never agree to be picked up at your home. Always provide your own transportation to and from your date and meet in a public place with many people around.

If the parties fail to settle within 30 days after service of a written demand for mediation, the parties will settle any unresolved dispute arising out of these terms by arbitration administered under the then current rules of the Commercial Code of the Netherlands. This is the exclusive remedy and forum for resolving disputes. Unless the parties agree in writing on another venue, arbitration will take place in the Netherlands before a single arbitrator. The language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitrator will make a determination and issue an award no later than 30 days after the close of the evidence in the arbitration proceeding. The parties will bear equally the costs of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, and each party will bear the costs associated with its case, subject to the arbitrator's right to award costs and fees under these terms. The arbitrator will not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in these terms, and the arbitrator's decision will be final and binding. Any court of competent jurisdiction may confirm and enforce the arbitrator's award. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under these terms without the advance written consent of both parties.
18.5 Right to Injunctive Relief
Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide an aggrieved party with full payment if the other party breaches these terms, and that an aggrieved party may seek injunctive relief if a breach happens, besides seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity.
18.6 Recovery of Expenses
In any adversarial proceedings between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings. For purposes of this section, "prevailing party" means, for any adversarial proceeding, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party.
18.7 Waiver of Jury Trial
Both parties hereby waive the right to a trial by jury for any dispute arising out of (or relating to) the Website or these terms. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.
18.8 Class Action Waiver
The parties will conduct any proceedings to resolve a dispute in any forum on an individual basis only. Neither you nor we will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. The parties will not combine any arbitration or proceeding with another without the advanced written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
18.9 Limitation on Time to File Disputes
A party will not file a dispute arising out of (or relating to) the Website or these terms more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any dispute brought after one year is barred.

You will not assign your rights or delegate your obligations under these terms without our advanced written consent. Any attempted assignment or delegation in breach of this provision will be void.
19.5 No Waiver
If either party fails to require the other party to perform any provision of these terms, that failure does not prevent the party from later enforcing that provision. If either party waives the other's breach of a provision, that waiver is not treated as waiving a later breach of the provision.
19.6 Severability
If any part of these terms is for any reason held to be unenforceable, the rest of it remains fully enforceable if the essential provisions of these terms for each party remain valid.
19.7 Cumulative Remedies
All rights and remedies provided in these terms are cumulative and not exclusive, and the assertion by a party of any right or remedy will not prevent the assertion by the party of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies available at law, in equity, by statute, in any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise.
19.8 Successors and Assigns
These terms bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This section does not address, directly or indirectly, whether a party may assign rights or delegate obligations under these terms.
