Bow String Problem

Hi all...
I am new to archery. Just got myself an InterNature recurve. I 've only shot about a dozen arrows with it when this peculiar problem came up.
Problem is, (1) the string wouldnt sit properly in the string grooves on both limbs. On both limbs, the string sits slightly to the left of the groove by about 1-2mms. Is this a sign that the limbs are twisted?
2) Now after every few shots, the string on the lower limb has a tendency to pop loose from the nock leaving the entire bow unbraced. Will this damage the bow? I am really worried that this might cause the limbs to fail at some point..
Whats happening here? Please advise..

If they do not, first you should not shoot it anymore. Having the sring come off after or during a shot is not fun. If it is a new bow TAKE IT BACK! If it is used you might have to take your lumps on it and be more careful in the future inspecting before you buy.
