Tazouda acts as a facilitator. We are not liable for any agreements made between members, nor for personal injury or loss of property, unless caused by gross negligence on our part. These terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland. Any disputes will be submitted to the competent court in Geneva. However, we encourage members to first contact us directly to resolve any concerns amicably.
