Please note that Company makes no representation or warranty regarding any of the products or services referenced on such sites, and recommends that the user conduct appropriate due diligence before purchasing or installing any online filter.

Noting such objections, with regard to any claims based on U.S. law, online service providers and/or interactive computer services enjoy certain protection and immunity from claims based on content provided by third parties. Pursuant to the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”), 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), and court decisions interpreting the scope of the CDA, You acknowledge and understand that Company operates as the provider of an interactive computer service. Thus, Company is immune from, and cannot be held responsible for, claims under U.S. law arising from the publication of Your content (including third-party content published on Your Program Site(s)). Company does not create such content, and it is not responsible for the publication of remarks or communications of You or third-parties that may arguably rise to the level of being actionable under U.S. federal or state laws including, but not limited to, the publication of material that might be considered defamatory, or violative of privacy or publicity rights. Note, that U.S. federal law, and the policies underlying same, allow the Company to remove any content found to be offensive, defamatory, obscene or otherwise violative of Company’s policies, without impacting Company’s immunity status as the provider of an interactive computer service. Nothing contained in this paragraph is intended to limit or alter the immunity from claims provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. In the event that any court finds that any third-party communication or third-party content linked to by Company falls outside of the realm of the immunity provided by the CDA, this shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any legal protections provided by Section 230 for any and all other content linked to or promoted via our Services, such as Your Program Site(s). Nothing contained in this section, or this Agreement, shall be interpreted as consent to application of U.S. law, or any laws other than those of the Company’s host jurisdiction.

Cybertip Hotline:https://report.cybertip.org/index.htm.

4. No Waiver – No waiver or action made by Us shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default of the same provision of this Agreement.
