Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information that constitutes part of the Third Party Content expressed or made available by third parties or any other User of the Website, are those of the respective authors or distributors and not of TJV or any of its affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees or agents.

The Website may link to other websites or resources on the internet, and other websites or resources may contain links to the Website.

Those other websites are not under TJV’s control, and the User acknowledges that TJV is not liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspect of those other websites or resources. The inclusion on another website of any link to the Website does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with TJV. User further acknowledges and agrees that TJV shall not be liable for any damage related to the use of any content, goods, or services available through any third-party website or resource.

If TJV is notified of allegedly infringing, defamatory, damaging, illegal or offensive content provided by the User (e.g., through an online review, chat room, or discussion board), TJV may investigate the allegation and determine in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of such content from the Website.
