4. Listings and Directory Information

Business listings on mChyna may be created from information provided by businesses, users, or publicly available sources.

While we aim to keep information useful and reasonably accurate, mChyna does not guarantee that any listing is:

You are responsible for independently verifying any business, service, pricing, credentials, availability, or other information before contacting, booking, paying, or otherwise transacting.

5. No Endorsement

A listing on mChyna does not mean that we endorse, recommend, verify, certify, or guarantee that business, freelancer, or service.

6. Reporting, Corrections, and Removal

If you believe that a listing is inaccurate, duplicated, unauthorised, suspicious, harmful, or otherwise problematic, you may contact us to request correction, review, or removal.

We reserve the right to edit, suspend, remove, or refuse any listing or content at our discretion.

If you submit content, corrections, listings, reports, or other material to mChyna, you confirm that:

• you are entitled to provide it
• it is not knowingly false or misleading

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, store, reproduce, display, adapt, and distribute that material as reasonably necessary to operate and improve mChyna.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representations or warranties regarding:

• the availability, reliability, or security of the platform
