We accept all unsolicited ideas, advice, and feedback solely on an unrestricted basis, meaning that we are not limited in how we utilize, implement, or commercialize the ideas, suggestions, or feedback.

External Links, Affiliate Relationships and Marketplaces
We may provide various links to external sites that provide helpful resources, products, or services that we believe may be useful to you, valuable for your business, or just worth exploring. In some cases, we may recommend a product or service, while in other cases, we may merely suggest that you check it out or consider whether that product or service is useful for you.
Sometimes we'll provide hyperlinks (or "links") that will direct you to or connect you with other websites that are not related to the Sites.
Where such websites are third-party owned and operated, they are not prepared by, offered by, or controlled by us. We are not responsible in any way for the quality, Content, nature, applicability, or reliability of third-party sites accessible by hyperlink from the Sites. If you choose to leave our Sites you should be aware that our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other policies no longer apply. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of whatever Site you go to, whether or not you followed a link from one of our Sites to get there.
Unless we say otherwise, our decision to provide links to external or third-party sites does not necessarily imply affiliation, endorsement, or adoption of those sites, any information contained therein, or any products or services offered on the sites. We do not and cannot guarantee that the information or other material linked is accurate, current, or available. You understand that we assume no responsibility or liability for any external links or any content on such third-party sites, and you agree that we are not responsible whatsoever for any actions you take there, including any purchases. We likewise make no claims regarding and accept no responsibility for third-party sites that link to our Sites.
Even where we expressly endorse a product or service (which endorsement may be based on the personal or professional opinion of one or more persons), you understand that our position or opinion on the product or service is based on those factors we have considered and that we do not have the ability to evaluate or opine on the quality, price, advisability, suitability, need, or satisfaction that you may experience with such products or services. You should always do your own due diligence on any product or service prior to purchasing, to determine if it is right for you, whether or not we recommend it.
Affiliate Offerings
In some cases, we may have an affiliate relationship with a third-party site or service provider mentioned on the Sites and may be compensated (e.g. receive a valuable benefit or even a commission) if you visit and/or purchase a product or service from the affiliated Site. We will generally endeavour to identify any such relationships so that you understand that even though we endorse a particular product or service, we also may be compensated in some way if you choose to do business with the recommended business or Site. However, you should assume that we do have such a relationship – and that we will be compensated if you purchase a product or service. Moreover, while many people would like us to endorse or recommend their products, we will never endorse or recommend any product or service we do not believe in, that is not of good quality, or which we do not think can provide benefits for you, regardless of potential compensation. However, if the possibility of us receiving compensation is not agreeable to you, please do not buy through any link on the Sites. Our products and services, including those that are available through the Sites, may also be offered by or through third-party affiliates who are compensated by us, for example, if you purchase a product or service from us. While we are responsible for claims we have made regarding our software, products or services, we cannot be held responsible for any claims made by third parties. Moreover, those third parties may promise the inclusion of various bonuses or additional products or services.
If those bonuses, products, or services are a part of our offer, we are responsible for delivering or providing them and will do so. If the third-party affiliate has offered additional bonuses, products, or services that are not a part of our offer, you should contact them regarding delivery, or support issues for those bonuses, products, or services.
We endeavour to be selective in the people or companies we allow to promote our products or services. If you believe that you have been promised bonuses, products, or services from a third party claiming to be our affiliate who does not follow through or deliver the promised bonuses, products, or services, and if you have been unsuccessful in resolving the issue, we would appreciate hearing about it. Problems can arise, and while we cannot take responsibility for such problems, if we see a pattern of problems with an affiliate we will determine if we should allow them to promote our products or services in the future.
User-Driven Marketplaces
We have set up different marketplaces for our customers to list, advertise, promote and sell their products and services to other users.
Those products and services are not created by, offered by, endorsed by or controlled by us. We are not responsible in any way for the quality, Content, nature, applicability, or reliability of them. If you choose to purchase, register, download or to engage with any of those products or services, or with their providers, you should be aware that we do not and cannot guarantee that the information or material provided is accurate, current, or available. You understand that we assume no responsibility or liability for any content, and you agree that we are not responsible whatsoever for any actions you take there, including any purchase or arrangement with the product/service providers.
You should always do your own due diligence on any product or service prior to purchasing, to determine if it is right for you and whether the product/service provider is a reputed user.
