Secure Surfing Organization Disclaimer & Terms of Service
You are responsible
“You” includes all entities accessing this site and/or its services including automated processes accessing the site on behalf or at the direction of legal persons.
The advice, tools and other content contained on this site are intended to help you enjoy a secure internet and computing experience. There is particular emphasis on trying to secure children and teens as they use the internet. However, whether or not this advice, tools and other content will work for you as expected (i.e. beneficially), is not within our ability to assure.
You are responsible for accepting or rejecting, how you implement or do not, and what additional advice you do or do not obtain.
We claim no special credentials and are not providing you professional psychological services, social services, legal advice or family counseling. You have the right, and if you think it remotely necessarily you have the responsibility, to seek professional assistance.
By reading or otherwise using this site you are agreeing to hold harmless the Secure Surfing Organization, its authors and content contributors, its sponsor Walking Dolphins Consultancy Inc. and any one else connected directly, indirectly or vicariously to the site, from any damages suffered as a result of the use of the site or any tools or other content published on the site, whether foreseeable or not and whether arising out of an act or omission or a failure to meet any duty of care real or implied.
The Secure Surfing Organization, Walking Dolphins Consultancy Inc, their employees, affiliates, contractors, contributors, authors, suppliers, successors and all others connected directly, indirectly or vicariously, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE MATERIALS CONTAINED ON THIS SITE WHETHER THE MATERIAL IS PROVIDED OR OTHERWISE SUPPLIED BY THE SECURE SURFING ORGANIZATION OR ANY THIRD PARTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall our liability to you for any and all claims, damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing this Site.
This means that you promise not to sue us or our contributors or anyone else for anything that does or does not happen because of your use or failure to use the site and everything on it. Basically you are not going to assign blame or responsibility to us but accept responsibility yourself. It also means other users are promising not to sue YOU.
This is important stuff. Sorry to be so stark, but for example, if you try our advice on a daughter and it completely backfires and she runs away from home and dies a terrible and tragic death, you do not get to hold us accountable.
If you cannot agree to that then do not use the site.
