Some of the sites to

linked from one site to another site by looking at the URL in the browser
window (or, if the link opens a new browser window, by looking at the URL found
by “right-clicking” on the page in the window and selecting “properties”). If
the second level domain of the URL for the page containing the link is
different than the second level domain of the URL for the page to which you
have linked, you have linked to a different site. For example, if you
link from a page located at the URL www.thirdleveldomain.NetOpus.net to a page
located at the URL www.netopus.secondleveldomain.com, you have linked to
another site. Please note that any of NetOpus.net's trademarks or service marks
may be included in the URL of a co-branded or private label site that is owned
and operated by a third party, in a location other than that occupied by the
second level domain (e.g., as the third level domain). Third Party Sites may include,
without limitation, sites on which you may bid for and/or purchase products or
services. NetOpus.net makes no representations whatsoever concerning ( a) the
information, software or other material appearing on, or accessible through,
any Third Party Site (including without limitation, any advertisement for

of any Third Party Site (including, without limitation, any transactions
initiated or conducted through any Third Party Site, any taxes associated
therewith and any use by third parties of user credit card information), (c)
any products or services advertised or sold on or through any Third Party Site
(including, without limitation, the quality, safety and legality of such
products or services or the sale thereof), or (d) the sellers of any products
or services advertised or sold on or through any Third Party Site. If you
decide to access any of the Third Party Sites linked to This Website, you do so
entirely at your own risk. If you are accessing a Third Party Site
through a link on This Website, you are advised to read the terms of use and
privacy policy of such Third Party Site before you use such Third Party Site.
