Further, LOCUS explicitly disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, content, or availability of information found on sites that link to or from Locustec.com from third parties not associated with LOCUS. LOCUS encourages discretion when browsing the Internet using our or anyone else’s service.

LOCUS cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from Locustec.com, since shop channels are owned and operated by independent retailers. LOCUS does not endorse any of the merchandise, nor has LOCUS taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of any of the information contained in such third-party sites. LOCUS does not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information) you might be requested to give any third party, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites. We strongly encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties.
