2. On-line Information, Products and Services

This Site operates as an on-line venue for you to find information, products and services targeted to your interests. Referrals and recommendations are provided by users, third party experts and advertisers. The products and services displayed on our Site are offered by various merchants and sellers ("Sellers"). We do not sell products or services directly and we will not be a party to any transaction you engage in with a Seller. From time to time, we may work with a single reputable third-party as the only Seller for goods and services on the Site. In that case, the Home page will display a note that the services are "Powered by" or "By" the third-party.

Participating Sellers and other third parties may pay us to have their product or service offering displayed on the Site, but this does not mean that we are responsible for their practices. We do not recommend, guarantee or endorse any product or service. We may also place information on the Site that we have determined, in our sole discretion, will be useful to you, such as general tips for choosing products that work best for certain conditions or in certain environments. By doing so, we are not recommending, guaranteeing or endorsing any particular product.

We have no control over the accuracy or truth of Sellers' product or service claims, or the quality of any products or services you receive. We cannot ensure that information on the Site is always accurate, complete or current. There may be content provided or generated by Sellers or users that is intentionally or accidentally incorrect. We are not responsible for inaccuracies, errors or omissions in the product or service descriptions, pricing or any discounts, offers, promotions or coupons for any product or service listed on the Site.

We are not obligated to screen user reviews, third party opinions or other postings, including product or service postings, in advance and are not responsible to do so.

We encourage you to review a Seller's terms of use and privacy policy before you complete any transaction with them.
