This website and its owners will use any information you enter to answer any questions, to provide you with more information about the goods and services they provide, or both.

This website utilises external social networking networks, as do its proprietors. However, each social media platform's rules and privacy regulations apply to each contact, message, and activity.
Users are urged to use caution while using social media platforms and to interact and engage with them with proper consideration for their privacy and personal information. Neither this website nor its proprietors will ever request personal or sensitive information through social networking platforms. They instead urge visitors who want to talk about sensitive topics to get in touch with them via traditional lines of communication like phone or email.
Social sharing buttons may be used on this website to enable users to share online content straight to the relevant social media platform. Your request to share a website using your social media account may be seen and recorded by the social media platform. Such social sharing buttons should only be used at the user's risk.
This website's proprietors and others may distribute links to relevant websites through their social media profiles. In addition, some social networking networks automatically shorten lengthy URLs (web addresses); one example is http://bit.ly/zyVUBo.
Before clicking any shortened links that this website or its proprietors post on social media sites, users should use caution and good judgement. Since many social networking sites are susceptible to spam and hacking, despite the best attempts to guarantee that only legitimate URLs are published, this website and its proprietors cannot be held accountable for any harm or consequences resulting from accessing any shortened links.
