Sharing the Presence shall not act towards the user as a broker nor as any other kind of agent. In particular, Sharing the Presence shall not be liable to the user for the transmission or a successful brokerage.

Sharing the Presence shall not be liable for or assume the performance of any services related to an agreement entered into by and between the user and the consultant.

(4) Sharing the Presence shall not engage in the placement of the staff for the performance of work, but exclusively establish the contact with those independent, not dependently employed consultants listed on the Website. The consultants offering their services shall not be bound by any instructions issued by Sharing the Presence while executing their agreements with users, but rather execute them under their own organisation and responsibility.
