9 E-SATISFACTION LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLITIONS & LIMITATION LIABILITY
9.1 E-satisfaction’s Services are not designed as personalized Services; they are formulated as generic service packages addressed to multiple recipients and are provided “as is”. E-satisfaction is not aware of, does not participate in and is not responsible for the organization and operation of any of the Registered E-Business that use the Services. For all the above reasons, e-satisfaction does not guarantee the “fit for purpose” of the Services and does not guarantee or promise that through the provided Services the enterprise will increase its clientele or its turnover. The Member can use the data and information exported from the processing of the Services at its own discretion. The Member can freely decide how this information will serve to the management, operation, marketing and the processes of the Shop. E-satisfaction does not participate in any decision making process nor does it influence or takes part to the strategy of its Members. E-satisfaction does not influence and does not bear any liability for the answers given by the Customers (whether they are true or not).
9.2. In relation to the data stored in the Member’s Account, e-satisfaction provides a complete automated, technical and neutral hosting service; E-satisfaction does not control, initiate, have access or in any other way decide which data will be hosted in the Database nor how they will be processed and used and for how long. The latter are all subject to the Member’s own free will and choice. The Member shall freely choose which data will be disclosed to the Platform for the provision of any of the Services.
