CBC is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties and CBC will not be liable for any goods, services, resources or content available through third-party dealings or communications, or for any harm related thereto. Before clicking on a third-party webpage, providing information to such third party, or otherwise entering into a transaction with such third party, you should carefully review that third party's policies and practices and make sure you are comfortable with them.
