EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

READING EUROPE Media BV is not responsible for any Content posted by members of the public on Reading Europe.eu or for the availability or content of any third party sites that are accessible through Reading Europe.eu. You understand that all information, data, text, photographs, messages, tags, or other materials (“Content”) are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated.

Via the Website you are able to link to other websites that are not under the authority of READING EUROPE Media BV. READING EUROPE Media BV has no control over the availability, nature, content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such sites or resources, nor the views expressed within them. Any links to third party websites from Reading Europe.eu do not imply or amount to any recommendation or endorsement of that site by READING EUROPE Media BV, and any use of those sites by you is at your own risk. In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including, without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of the Website.

MEDIA DISTRIBUTION

In some cases, READING EUROPE Media BV is a distributor (and not a publisher) of Content supplied by third parties. Accordingly, READING EUROPE Media BV has no more editorial control over such Content than does a public library, bookstore, or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or Content expressed or made available by third parties, including information providers, subscribers or any other User or Subscriber of Reading Europe.eu, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of READING EUROPE Media BV. Neither READING EUROPE Media BV nor any third-party provider of information guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any Content, nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.
