The Partners do not endorse or control the content, messages or information found in any Interactive Area and, therefore, the Partners specifically disclaim any liability with regard to the Interactive Areas and any actions resulting from your participation in them. Interactive Area hosts are not necessarily employees or affiliates of the Partners, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of the Partners.

  • Any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or relating to use of or inability to use the Site, even if the Partners have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
