27.1 General Principles:
Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We have developed this Privacy
Policy to protect your personal information and keep it confidential. We do everything
we reasonably can to protect your rights of privacy on systems and websites controlled
by us, but we are not liable for any unauthorized or unlawful disclosures of your

to our control, for example advertisers and websites that have links to our Site.
You should take note that the information and privacy practices of our business
partners, advertisers, sponsors or other sites to which we provide hyperlinks, may
be different from ours. We also cannot warrant the security of the information,
which you transmit to us. We categorize information about you (collectively referred

Any of your information which you provide when you use our Services in an unencrypted
manner and/or to an open, public environment or forum including (without limitation)
any blog, chat room, albums, community, classifieds or discussion board, is not
confidential, does not constitute Personal Information, and is not subject to protection
under Privacy Policy.
Since such public environments are accessible by third parties, it is possible that
third parties may collect and collate and use such information for their own purposes.
You should accordingly be careful when deciding to share any of your Personal Information
in such public environments.
Information, which is disclosed publicly, is also shared with our affiliates, third
party service providers, sponsors of competitions etc. unless expressly stated otherwise.
We are not liable to you or any third party for any damages (as defined in clause

necessary, and solely for the purposes of providing the Service to you, you agree
that we may disclose to such third party any of your Personal Information that may
be necessary for the procurement of services from the third party. These companies
may also use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone
number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements
about goods and services of interest to you. More information about this practice
and your choices about not having this information used by these companies would
be available with the respective third parties.
In addition to the general limitation in the Terms, we will not be liable to you
or any other third party for any damages (as defined in the clause 14 above) suffered
by you or any other third party howsoever arising from the disclosure of your Personal
Information. Your only remedy under such circumstances will be to end this agreement.
