Explanation:
This may over-simplify the word "abwickeln", but maybe by its general nature provides the website with a lot of protection !

... unless you think in this case the user of this website has already "made" the contact before he/she then decides to "abwickeln" it!

Explanation:
the 'nur solche...die nicht' construction seems to be tying people in knots in English so I thought I'd switch it around and bring the negative forward:

'...undertakes not to use the site to establish (and develop) contacts which are in conflict with...'

another problem here is that all these versions sound a bit stilted because 'contacts' in English isn't really used in the same way as 'Kontakte' in German, but if 'contact' is part of the name of the site in English then I guess it's OK
