Security Measures
We work hard to protect the security of your information. While we strive to protect your information through security measures on our system, we cannot guarantee such security, particularly for a service such as BSR that relies significantly on the public Internet. Consequently, we do not insure or warrant the security of information you transmit, and you do so at your own risk. BSR also does not insure or warrant the security or integrity of electronic data transmitted to your computer and other electronic devices in connection with your use of the Site.
Disclaimer Of Warranty
By use of the Site you acknowledge that BSR shall not be responsible for (a) damage or expenses caused by any viruses, spyware or malware, that you might incur in connection with your use of the Site and (b) any direct, indirect, incidental, special consequential or exemplary damages which may be incurred by you, however caused and under any theory of liability. This shall include, but not be limited to, any loss of profit (whether incurred directly or indirectly), any loss of goodwill or business or personal reputation, any loss of data suffered, cost of procurement of substitute goods or services, or other intangible loss.
Children And Parents
Users under 18 years of age may use our Site only with the permission of a parent or guardian. We do not intend to collect Personal Information from children. If your child has submitted Personal Information and you would like to request that such information be removed, you may contact us via one of the contact methods described on the Site and we will promptly remove such information and shall not use such information or include it in our database. Users under the age of eighteen and their parents or guardians are advised that any Personal Information voluntarily entered by children may be available for public access until BRS becomes aware that a user is under the age of eighteen and has had a reasonable opportunity to remove the information from the site.
Children under 13 years of age should not send any information about themselves to us. If a child under 13 submits information to us, and we discover that the person submitting the information is a child, we will attempt to delete this information as soon as possible. Because we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13, we do not use or disclose such information to third parties.
