      3. 4.1.3 are not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, and you acknowledge that the App may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such communications facilities.

Such independent websites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content or their terms and conditions or privacy policies (if any).

    3. 4.3 The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.
