-
We have established relationships with other parties to offer
you the benefit of other services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you
access to these other parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their

ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform resource locator,
domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet. In some cases you
may be required to submit information for purposes of registering or applying
for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners.
The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not
have any control over the information that you submit to such third parties or
co-branded sites. We therefore encourage you to read that policy before
responding to any offers, products or services provided by such other parties.
