We do not have control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. Additionally, we do not censor or edit the content of any third-party website. By using the Service, you release daily room from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website.

Therefore, we encourage you to be cautious when leaving the Service and to review the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each website you visit.
