Communications with Third Parties
Your dealings or communications through WineSpeed with any party other than WineSpeed are solely between you and that third party.

During your visit to WineSpeed, you may link to, or view as part of a frame, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. You may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, advertisements, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. WineSpeed is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable terms of service and privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on such a feature or page.
