8. Site Content and Linking Policy.
   1. The Service Provider has entered into agreements with certain Advertisers which allows it to place Advertisements provided by such Advertisers on the Judici.com site.

Inclusion on the Judici.com site of any Advertisement or of a Link to a Third Party Site does not imply approval or endorsement of the Advertiser, the Advertisement, or the Third Party Site. If you decide to respond to an Advertisement that is placed on the Judici.com site or to leave the Judici.com site through a Link to a Third Party Site, you do so at your own risk. The Service Provider is not responsible for the privacy policies applicable to Third Party Sites. Once you link to a Third Party Site, the Privacy Policy stated on the Judici.com site is no longer in effect.
