Third-Party Affiliate Applications

From time to time this service may let you open a separately branded application operated by one of our affiliates or partners (each, an "Affiliate App") from within this service. You will always start this experience yourself by selecting a link or button — we do not open an Affiliate App for you automatically.

Although an Affiliate App may open without closing this service or switching your device, it is a separate service operated by a separate company. We do not own, operate, or control the Affiliate App, and making it available to you does not mean that we endorse it or that we are responsible for it. The company that owns the Affiliate App is not our agent, and we are not theirs.

An Affiliate App may also provide a way to return to the service you came from. Using it returns you to that separate service, which is governed by its own terms and privacy policy — the Affiliate App's terms no longer apply once you leave it.

Each Affiliate App has its own terms of service and privacy policy, which govern your use of that app and any information it collects once you enter it. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, data practices, or conduct of any Affiliate App, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude liability for them. You should review the Affiliate App's terms of service and privacy policy before using it. You can find them inside the Affiliate App in the same way you found these terms — through that app's navigation menu.

Any account, subscription, purchase, or other transaction you make in an Affiliate App is handled by, and is the responsibility of, the company that owns that app under its own terms — not through this service.

We may add, change, or remove Affiliate Apps at any time without notice.

This section applies in both directions. Each company that makes its application available through this launch experience acts as a parent service when it offers a link to another app, and as an Affiliate App when its application is opened from another service. The terms in this section apply to that company in either role.
