You understand that we are not the provider of, and are not responsible for, any such Third-Party Offerings and that these Terms do not themselves grant you any rights to access, use, download content from or purchase any Third-Party Offerings. The fact that we link to a third party website or service is not an endorsement or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies, term of use, business practices or their compliance with laws. We do not exercise control over third party websites or services. We encourage you to read the privacy policies and terms of use of the other websites and services you use and the terms of the offers in which you participate. You agree that GlobalLogic is not responsible for nor will it be liable to you or any third party for your interaction with such third parties.
