INTRODUCTION - Welcome to Our Site's User Agreement (hereinafter 'Agreement' or 'Terms and Conditions.') The provisions of this Agreement will govern Your use of Our Site, and You should therefore take some time to read the Agreement carefully. Our Site is different from many other websites on the Internet as it contains advertisements, communications, and links posted by independent third parties, over which We exert no control. We do not get involved in any disputes that may develop between Our advertisers and others, and We do not facilitate communication between third parties. Therefore, You are urged to use Your own good judgment and common sense if responding to such communications, as We are not responsible for any interactions occurring between Our Users and any third parties as a result of Your use of the Site. Federal law protects sites like Ours from civil claims, so We encourage You to independently research any information found in advertisements or communications, before making any decisions. We hope that You thoroughly enjoy Our services, and anticipate that You will find Our Site useful and informative. Should You have any questions or comments regarding Our Site, or its policies, please feel free to contact Us via [email protected]. The laws of your individual city, county, state, province or nation may regulate the activity discussed or promoted by the Site, or by third parties communicating on the Site.
