These Terms of Use are applicable to you upon your accessing the Site. These Terms of Use may be modified, altered, updated or terminated by Laurel Springs without notice at any time for any reason. Your continued use of the Site after such modifications, alterations or updates, as the case may be, signifies your agreement to be bound by such modifications, alterations or updates.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, this Site may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties other than Laurel Springs (the “External Sites”). However, even if the third party is affiliated with Laurel Springs, Laurel Springs has no control over these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of Laurel Springs. Laurel Springs has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. These linked sites are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk, and you may be subject to the terms and conditions and the privacy policies imposed by such third parties. Links do not imply that Laurel Springs sponsors, endorses, is affiliated with or associated with, or has been legally authorized to use any trademark, trade name, service mark, design, logo, symbol or other copyrighted materials displayed on or accessible through such External Sites. Nonetheless, Laurel Springs seeks to protect the integrity of its Site and the links placed upon it and therefore requests any feedback on not only its own Site, but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work). You should contact the Site administrator or Webmaster for those External Sites if you have any concerns regarding such links or the content located on such External Sites.
