damage or harm caused as a result of such actions.

WHICH WERE INCLUDED SOLELY FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. WITH RESPECT TO LINKS LEADING
TO WEB-PAGES OR SITES WHICH DO NOT BELONG TO CAREERHARMONY (“THIRD PARTY
PAGES”), UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THIS WEB-SITE, CAREERHARMONY
HAS NEITHER LEGAL NOR COMMERCIAL OR ANY OTHER RELATIONS WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY
PAGES OR THEIR OWNERS, AND HAS NO CONTROL OVER NOR ANY RIGHT IN OR TO THE
CONTENT APPEARING ON SUCH THIRD PARTY PAGES. CAREERHARMONY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE

authorization, approval, recommendation or preference by CareerHarmony, its
officers, directors, employees or anyone on its behalf, of such Third Party
Pages and/or any content contained therein, their operators, owners nor of any
of the products that may appear or be presented in such Third Party Pages. At
the time that a link was included in this web-site and/or service,
CareerHarmony found the information contained at the linked web-site or page
fit to the purposes of this web-site an/or service, and that the link itself
was valid. Nevertheless, given the dynamic nature of the Internet, it is very
likely that, since that time, the linked web-site and/or page has been changed.

webmaster of this web-site and service at [email protected]. Also,

subject matter of this web-site and/or service, please contact the web administrator
