EXTERNAL WEBSITE LINKS & THIRD PARTIES
Although I only look to include safe, quality and relevant external links, users are advised to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website. (External links are clickable text / banner / image links to other websites.)
Shortened URL’s; URL shortening is a technique used on the web to shorten URL’s (Uniform Resource Locators) to something substantially shorter. This technique is especially used in social media and looks similar to this (example: https://goo.gl/7aofHB). Users should take caution before clicking on shortened URL links and verify their authenticity before proceeding.
I cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website despite my reasonable efforts. Users should therefore note that you click on external links at your own risk and I cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.
