Summary of what this section means

We accept no financial responsibility to you arising from your use of BLAG websites, services or BLAG content.

By Third Party Sites we mean websites, online or mobile services provided by third parties, including websites that may be linked, discussed or mentioned in any of our content. By Third Party Products we mean products or services mentioned and / or provided by third parties.

Although this means that we accept very little in the way of financial responsibility for your use of BLAG and BLAG Content, we believe this is on the fair basis that you can view BLAG content free-of-charge. It is not commercially possible for us to accept more responsibility for your use of BLAG than that set out in this Section (10) taking into account that we permit you to use BLAG for a relatively inexpensive cost and many aspects for none at all.
