We're not responsible for the content of other sites and we're not responsible for sites or links users share on the Service. Just because a user has shared a site or link does not mean it's safe and the fact that the site or link is on the Service does not mean we have checked it, endorsed it or otherwise determined its ok for you to visit, we have not. You assume all risk from visiting sites linked to on the Service.

Third-Party Links
The Website may contain links to other websites for your convenience.

Your use of linked websites is subject to the privacy practices and terms of use established by the specific linked website, and we disclaim all liability for such use.

Third-Party Products and Services
You may be provided the opportunity to purchase products and services offered and sold by third parties ("Products") through the Services. The information provided for any Product listing is provided by NetRiff's third-party vendors, and, while we require vendors to provide complete, accurate and non- misleading Product information, we do not represent, warrant or guarantee that such Product descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free, and we are not responsible for, and disclaim any liability arising from or relating to, such Product listing information. All purchases of Products made by you through the Services are a direct sale and purchase between you and the applicable vendor. NetRiff is not a party to such transaction, and only facilitates the transaction between you and the vendor by providing a marketplace for the marketing, offering and sale of Products. Payments for Products transacted through the Service will be remitted to the vendor, and the vendor will be solely responsible for fulfilling and shipping your order, providing related customer support and warranty service and processing returns and exchanges. The Services will facilitate your communication with the vendor for the purpose of making return, exchange or warranty requests or making claims for non-delivery, damaged goods or items not as described in accordance with any applicable terms or policies in the Product listing. In addition, the Services may alert you to any Product issues or recalls of which the vendor notifies NetRiff. NetRiff does not provide any warranty on any of the Products, whether express or implied, and does not assume, and hereby disclaims, any responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions of the third-party vendors of such Products, or for the Products offered, sold or provided by, any third party through the Service.

Reviews are solely the opinions of the users that post them and none of the Reviews contain or reflect any opinions or views of NetRiff.
Ownership
The Website is owned and operated by NetRiff and its licensors, and the Information and Services (and any intellectual property and other rights relating thereto) are and will remain the property of NetRiff and its licensors and suppliers. The Information and Services are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other laws, and you acknowledge that these rights are valid and enforceable. Except as set forth in this Agreement, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sub-license, sell, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Website or any Service or Information without our prior written permission. The Information, Website, and Services may be used solely (a) to the extent permitted in this Agreement or (b) as expressly authorized in writing by NetRiff or, if so indicated in writing by NetRiff, its licensors or suppliers. Use of the Website or any Services or Information for any other purpose is strictly prohibited. You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights by using the Website or any Services or Information.
The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Website (collectively, the "Trademarks") are the registered and unregistered trademarks of NetRiff, NetRiff licensors and suppliers, and/or others. NetRiff® is a registered trademark of NetRiff, Inc. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Website should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark(s) without the express written permission of NetRiff, NetRiff licensors or suppliers, or the third party owner of any such Trademark, except as set forth in the following paragraph.
NetRiff Buttons, Links and Widgets
You may use the NetRiff buttons, links and widgets displayed on the 'Buttons and Badges' section of this Website provided that (a) such buttons, links and widgets link only to the Website; (b) you do not modify such buttons, links, widgets or associated code in any manner, (c) you do not use any such buttons, links, widgets in any manner which implies or suggests that NetRiff operates, endorses, sponsors or recommends the website on which such buttons, links and widgets are used, and (d) the use of such buttons, links and widgets, and the website on which such buttons, links and widgets are used do not violate the NetRiff acceptable use policy stated above. You acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to the NetRiff trademarks are our exclusive property, and any goodwill generated by your use of any NetRiff trademark will inure to our exclusive benefit. You will not take any action that is in conflict with our rights in or ownership of any NetRiff trademark. We retain the right to revoke the permission to use such buttons, links and widgets at any time for any reason.
Claims of Copyright or Trademark Infringement
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. NetRiff also reviews claims of trademark infringement. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by NetRiff infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works or trademarks located on the Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow NetRiff to locate the material on the Website; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Please be advised that NetRiff will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If NetRiff determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, NetRiff will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information: (a) your name, address, and telephone number; (b) the source of the content that was removed; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed in error; (d) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which NetRiff may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and (e) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).
Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Website must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see https://www.copyright.gov/ for details) and should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
