TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to 9Kitchens Ltd’s website at https://www.9kitchens.co.uk

Our website showcases our primary services which are ‘Sustainable Corporate Team Building Events’ including Corporate Catering and Cooking Classes. The 9Kitchens Service and network (collectively, “9Kitchens” or “the Service”) are offered and operated by 9Kitchens Ltd and its corporate affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “us”, “we” or “the Company”). By logging on and accessing or using the services on our website at https://www.9kitchens.co.uk (hereinafter the “Site”) (and any other related websites where this agreement appears), you are agreeing to accept and be bound by the following Terms of Service (hereinafter the “TOS”) and Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered member of 9Kitchens, for using 9Kitchens, including those available by hyperlink, with 9Kitchens Ltd and the general principles of our subsidiaries and international affiliates.

These TOS constitute a binding agreement between 9Kitchens and you governing your use of 9Kitchens. By using 9Kitchens, you agree to be bound by all of the TOS, regardless of whether you use BOM to post any of your own content or to view content posted by other people including the Company.

9Kitchens reserves the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to modify these TOS at any time. Your continued use of 9Kitchens after 9Kitchens modifies the TOS will mean you agree to the TOS as modified. If you do not agree to any modification, you should stop using or accessing 9Kitchens immediately. It is your responsibility to return to this page on a regular basis to view any updates or modifications to the TOS.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS WHICH INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS, AND A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED.

2. MEMBERSHIP

People who register at https://www.9kitchens.co.uk for the 9Kitchens Service become “Members” and those who subscribe to our mailing list become “Subscribers”.

We are not an internet service provider; in order to use the 9Kitchens Service, you must have internet access and all the necessary hardware, software (and skills) required for email and web usage.

3. ELIGIBILITY

Where prohibited, membership to the Service is considered void. To be eligible for membership registration, access and usage of Services on this Site, you must be 18 or older and that you agree to and to abide by all of these TOS; otherwise any such membership registration, access and usage of Services on this Site is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these TOS and may be terminated by the Company at any time upon discovery of unauthorized or unlicensed use.

4. REGISTRATION

You might need to register and confirm your membership registration prior to using specific services on the Site. You undertake to register for the 9Kitchens Service using accurate and current information about yourself – including your correct name, email address and any other mandatory details.

During registration, you may select your preferred and unique ‘Username’ which will be associated with your 9Kitchens membership. This Username can be used as a method of directly linking to your profile and for any other uses which we may make available for Usernames. We maintain a reserved list of keywords which may not be used as 9Kitchens Usernames. This list is updated from time to time, and accordingly we reserve the right to revoke the use of a Username previously selected by a member if we feel the Username is inappropriate, or that it is a special keyword which is required for other business uses, or for other reasons; we are under no obligation to disclose to you our reasons for revoking your use of a specific Username.

During registration, you may also indicate your preferred login password. You are obliged to keep this password secret. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party and you will hold 9Kitchens harmless for any damage arising from a third party accessing 9Kitchens using a password you disclosed. 9Kitchens shall not disclose the password to any third party and 9Kitchens shall not ask for your password at any time.

By completing the registration process, you consent to enter the agreement to use the services of the Site. 9Kitchens accepts this offer by activating the membership for the use of services on the Site. The agreement takes effect with the aforementioned acceptance by 9Kitchens.

Each User is entitled to register with 9Kitchens only once, and the User may only establish one (1) user profile. You may not register for a User account on behalf of an individual other than yourself, or register for a User account on behalf of any group or entity unless you are duly authorized to do so.

You may not use or attempt to use another’s account, service or system without authorization from the Company, or to create a false identity on the Service or the Site.

It is technically impossible for 9Kitchens to determine with absolute certainty whether a particular user registered with 9Kitchens is in fact the person he or she represents to be. Therefore, 9Kitchens assumes no liability for the actual identity of a user. Each user is solely responsible for checking the actual identity of another user.

5. MEMBER CONDUCT AND OBLIGATIONS

9Kitchens’s TOS includes the Rules of Member Conduct and Obligations below.

You fully accept and understand that all Content posted to the Site or otherwise transmitted via 9Kitchens is the sole responsibility of the member who originally posted the Content, and that your sole recourse for any damage you may suffer as a result of such content shall be to that member only. You agree that 9Kitchens will not be liable or be held liable, under any circumstances whatsoever and in any way, for any errors or omissions, loss or damage of any kind whatsoever that may have been incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted or otherwise transmitted via 9Kitchens, and you hereby release absolutely and without reservation 9Kitchens and its directors, officers, shareholders and employees therefrom. You agree that you must personally evaluate, and bear all risks associated with the use of any Content on the Site, including any reliance on the accuracy, originality, completeness, or perceived usefulness of any Content.

9Kitchens reserves the right to preserve and disclose Content posted to or transmitted via 9Kitchens if reasonably necessary in order to:

Enforce this Agreement
Comply with a legal process
Protect the rights, property, or personal safety of any party.

9Kitchens reserves the right to take appropriate legal action against anyone who uses 9Kitchens in violation of the TOS and in a jurisdiction of the choosing of 9Kitchens and you hereby agree to submit to the laws of that jurisdiction. If and when 9Kitchens learns of any use of 9Kitchens in violation of or that may be in violation of any applicable law in any jurisdiction, 9Kitchens may report this to law enforcement authorities in those jurisdictions and otherwise cooperate with such authorities in their investigation.

6. WEBSITE ACCESS AND INTERFERENCE

9Kitchens grants you permission to use the 9Kitchens Service as set out in this Agreement, provided that:

You may use the 9Kitchens Service solely for your personal, non-commercial use except as otherwise specifically provided and approved by 9Kitchens;
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, or publicly display any content (except for Your Information) or distribute any part of the 9Kitchens Service in any medium without 9Kitchens’s prior written permission and the appropriate third party, as applicable;
You may not alter or modify any part of the 9Kitchens Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the 9Kitchens Service for its intended purpose;
You may not interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site or any activities conducted on the Site;
You otherwise fully comply with this Agreement.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system or scripts, including but not limited to any “robots,” “spiders,” or “offline readers”, that access the 9Kitchens Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the 9Kitchens Service’s web and database servers in a given period of time than a real human user can reasonably produce in that period by using a conventional web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 9Kitchens grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the Site for the sole purpose of creating publicly-available and searchable indices of the Content, but not caches or archives of such Content. 9Kitchens reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases at its sole and absolute discretion.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The content of the 9Kitchens Service, except all User Submissions (as defined in point 8. below), interactive features and the like (together the “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein (together the “Marks”) and all copyright subsisting therein, are owned by or licensed to 9Kitchens, and are protected by United Kingdom and foreign laws and international conventions. With the exception of specific User Submissions made by you personally, as between you and 9Kitchens, all intellectual property rights subsisting in and in relation to User Submissions (including, without limitation, compilations of User Submissions) are owned by 9Kitchens. You agree not to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security related features of the 9Kitchens Service or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Content.

8. USER SUBMISSIONS

You retain all ownership rights to Content you submitted and of which you are the beneficial and absolute owner. Except for its ownership of the collection of all content on 9Kitchens, as described below, 9Kitchens does not claim ownership of any Content you publish in your workspace on the Site. You retain full ownership of all of your Content and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with your Content.

By publishing your Content on 9Kitchens, you grant 9Kitchens a temporary license to “rebroadcast” your Content. This license is necessary to enable us to show your Content to other members and visitors to the Site.

By publishing Content in your workspace on the Site you grant 9Kitchens a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub licensable and non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid license to reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, publicly perform and publicly display the Content (as well as permit others – including without limitation 9Kitchens’s co-brand, content and syndication partners – to do the same) reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise.

This license exists only for as long as the Content remains published in your workspace on the Site and only for as long you remain a 9Kitchens member, except that you grant 9Kitchens a continuing perpetual license and right to maintain a copy of your profile and Content for archival purposes. This archival copy is not posted publicly on the 9Kitchens system; it is maintained solely so that 9Kitchens may recover content and restore accounts (in case of errors or system failure) or required for cooperation with law enforcement in order to make the 9Kitchens service safer. Except for this license for archival purposes, in the event that you remove the Content from your workspace on the Site or in the event that your membership is terminated, this license shall expire either immediately or upon termination of any promotional or marketing activities ongoing at the time.

9. RESPONSIBILITY FOR USER CONTENT AND ANY OTHER DATA OR INFORMATION

9Kitchens does not make any warranties or representations regarding any data and/or information provided or made available by any user on the Site or on any external websites linked to them. In particular, 9Kitchens does not warrant or represent that said data and/or information is true or accurate, or that it fulfils or serves any particular purpose. The User may report any activities of any other user which violate applicable laws and/or any of the terms and conditions of these TOS by using the contact form available at the Site.

10. DATA TRANSMISSION SECURITY

You acknowledge that 9Kitchens has no control over the communications infrastructure or the communications lines used to access 9Kitchens because these are provided for by a third party public utility and, as such, the security of transmissions to and from 9Kitchens is not the responsibility of 9Kitchens.

9Kitchens recognizes that any data provided by the User to 9Kitchens is extremely important to the User, and 9Kitchens shall therefore be reasonable and sensitive in handling such data. 9Kitchens shall comply with all applicable legal provisions regarding data protection (United Kingdom Data Protection Laws, European Data Protection Directives and any other applicable data protection legislation). In particular, 9Kitchens shall not provide or otherwise disclose any personal data of the User to any third party without permission except when asked to assist and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in their investigations.

11. COPYRIGHT

All content created by 9Kitchens, its partners, or its suppliers and available through the Service, including designs, text, logos, graphics, images, pictures, videos, music, sound, information, applications, javascript code, HTML code, and other software, (together the “Site Content”) are the proprietary property of 9Kitchens (or its subsidiaries, partners or suppliers) with all rights reserved and are protected by United Kingdom and international copyright and other intellectual property laws.

No Site Content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, scraped, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without the Company’s prior written permission, except that the foregoing does not apply to your own Content that you have legally posted on the Site. Provided that you are eligible, you are granted a limited license to access and use the Site and the Site Content and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Site Content to which you have properly gained access solely for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you keep all copyright or other proprietary notices and uses intact. Except for your own Content, you may not upload or republish Site Content on any Internet, Intranet or Extranet site to incorporate the information in any other database or compilation, and any other use of the Site Content is strictly prohibited. Such license is subject to these TOS and does not permit the use of any data mining, robots, scraping or similar data gathering techniques or extraction methods. Any use of the Site or the Site Content other than as specifically authorized herein, without the prior written permission of Company, is strictly prohibited and in violation of these TOS and can and will terminate the license granted herein. Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws including copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these TOS shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time without notice and with or without cause.

12. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

9Kitchens fully respects and is fully committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of third parties; as such, you are prohibited to post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted content, belonging to others without first obtaining their written consent. If you believe that someone has copied your work and posted it on 9Kitchens in a way that constitutes a copyright infringement, please read the section on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for more information on how to report infringement of your copyright.

Upon receiving proper notice of copyright infringement 9Kitchens will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the site owner accordingly. 9Kitchens may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, terminate the accounts of Users who may be repeat infringers.

9Kitchens reserves the right to terminate your use of 9Kitchens at any time and remove any infringing Content if you infringe the copyright rights of others, regardless of whether or not you are a repeat infringer.

13. TRADEMARKS

9Kitchens Ltd, 9Kitchens, and other Company graphics, logos, designs, page headers, buttons, icons, scripts and service names are registered trademarks, trademarks or trade dress of the Company in United Kingdom and/or other countries. The Company’s marks may not be used, including as part of trademarks and/or as part of domain names, in connection with any product or service that is not the Company’s, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers or in any manner whatsoever that disparages or discredits the Company.

14. PERSONAL INFORMATION & PRIVACY POLICY

The privacy of our Users is of great importance to us. Please read the 9Kitchens’s Privacy Policy. By using the Site or the Service, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed on our servers located in the United States.

9Kitchens’s Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also agree to give consent to the way we may handle your personal data as stipulated in that policy. Given the global nature of the World Wide Web, any posting on the 9Kitchens Service (which may contain personal information) is, of course, accessible to internet users globally.

You hereby certify, acknowledge and confirm to 9Kitchens that you are at least 18 years old. 9Kitchens is intended for people who are at least 18 years old and above.

15. 9KITCHENS ROLE

You acknowledge that 9Kitchens is not and cannot be responsible for the behaviour of members or for any Content contributed by Members – whether on the 9Kitchens Service (such as by way of User Submissions) or outside of it. 9Kitchens only provides a platform where the 9Kitchens Service may be accessed. In particular, you should be aware that 9Kitchens does not generally pre-screen or monitor content contributed by Members (such as User Submissions).

16. ADDITIONAL SERVICES

9Kitchens or its affiliates may offer new or additional services through the 9Kitchens Service from time to time. Your use of any such services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, or rules of use, which you must comply with, and potentially additional fees (which you must pay). Any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms or rules governing those services, or to pay any relevant additional fees, will be considered as a violation of the TOS and in breach of this Agreement.

17. OPERATION OF 9KITCHENS SERVICES

9Kitchens reserves the right to withdraw or modify one or more aspects of the 9Kitchens Service where we have legal or technical reasons to do so (including technical difficulties experienced by 9Kitchens internally or on the Internet in general). There may be times when the 9Kitchens Service becomes unavailable for various reasons, whether on (i) an unscheduled basis, because of technical problems (in which case we will use reasonable skill and care to overcome the problems we encounter, where they are within our control); or ii) a scheduled basis (which we will make every effort to conduct at times that are reasonably convenient to the majority of the Membership, in our reasonable discretion). For security or any other reasons, we may at times require you to change your Username and/or Password or other information which facilitates access to the 9Kitchens Service.

18. MISUSE OF 9KITCHENS SERVICES AND TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP

9Kitchens reserves the right (i) to suspend or terminate any Member’s access to the 9Kitchens Service, in whole or in part, and/or (ii) to remove at will, or require the Member to remove, any Content posted on the 9Kitchens Service, if the respective Member or Content is deemed to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement. Any Member whose access has been suspended or terminated are prohibited from re-registering for, or re-accessing, the 9Kitchens Service without our prior consent. However, there may be times when determined users whose Membership has been terminated or suspended re-register as Members, in breach of their obligations under this Agreement; we cannot prevent that. You are, at all times, responsible for everything which is done on or through the 9Kitchens Service while your Membership account is logged on to the 9Kitchens Service, or through your email address(es).

9Kitchens and the Community work together to keep the Site and Services working properly and to keep the Community safe. If you see anything on the 9Kitchens Service which appears to be a violation or in breach of this Agreement, then please contact us to inform us of it by emailing us. We do not generally monitor material contributed by Members placed on the 9Kitchens Service, and we are thus reliant upon users to alert us of any Content which is in breach of this Agreement. You agree that upon termination or suspension of your access to the 9Kitchens Service under any provision of this Agreement, we may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your 9Kitchens Service account and/or bar any further access to such files or the 9Kitchens Service.

Without limiting other remedies, we may limit, suspend or terminate our service and user accounts, prohibit access to the Site, delay or remove hosted content, and take technical and legal steps to keep Users off the Site if we deem that they are being a nuisance by creating problems with possible legal liabilities, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies and this TOS. We also reserve the right to cancel and delete unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a long time which timing shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company.

19. DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE

9Kitchens has no control over and has no responsibility for, the truth or the accuracy of any content available on the 9Kitchens Service, whether contributed by Members (such as User Submissions) or others. Although we have stipulated rules for Member Conduct and Obligations, we do not control and are not responsible for what users post, transmit or share on the Site and are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful or otherwise objectionable content you may encounter on the Site or in connection with any User Content. The Company is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the Site or Service.

If any third party site is linked to, or from, the 9Kitchens Service, this does not mean that we endorse or have any responsibility for the site in question or anything which appears on it.

You should exercise no lesser degree of caution in appraising what you see on the 9Kitchens Service than you do offline.
Even though 9Kitchens Members are prohibited from doing so, some Members may provide information, or otherwise behave, in a way that is unreliable, misleading or even illegal. It is imperative that you should note and be aware that people may not necessarily be who they say they are.
Your access and use of the 9Kitchens Service is entirely at your own risk.

Accordingly, to the extent that the law permits, you release 9Kitchens, its owners, its directors, contractors and employees, from all liability arising out of or in connection with the 9Kitchens Service and the Content included here by Members (including User Submissions) and other third parties.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT:

(b) 9KITCHENS CANNOT GUARANTEE AND MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT (i) 9KITCHENS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (ii) 9KITCHENS OR ANY CONTENT, SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU THROUGH 9KITCHENS WILL BE COMPLETE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SITE OR SERVICE ITS SERVERS, OR ANY PLATFORM APPLICATIONS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN USING AND DOWNLOADING ANY SUCH SOFTWARE, CONTENT OR MATERIALS AND USE INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED SOFTWARE TO DETECT AND DISINFECT VIRUSES. (iii) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF 9KITCHENS WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, (iv) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH 9KITCHENS WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, AND (V) ANY ERRORS IN SOFTWARE AND ANY SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO YOU THROUGH 9KITCHENS WILL BE CORRECTED.

(c) ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF 9KITCHENS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA OR OTHER LIABILITY THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.

(d) NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM 9KITCHENS OR THROUGH OR FROM 9KITCHENS SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE.

9Kitchens reserves the right to modify any and all content, software and other items used or contained in the Site and any Services offered through the Site at any time without prior notice. Any references made to any products, services, processes or any other information, either by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, and supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation thereof, or any affiliation therewith, by 9Kitchens.

20. EXCLUDED LOSS

9Kitchens will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profit, revenue or business, howsoever caused (whether arising out of any negligence or breach of this Agreement or otherwise). 9Kitchens will also not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement caused by matters beyond its reasonable control.

21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT 9KITCHENS OR ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF 9KITCHENS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM:

(i) YOUR USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE 9KITCHENS;

(ii) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM 9KITCHENS;

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF NO FEES ARE PAID TO THE COMPANY FOR THE SERVICE, YOU SHALL BE LIMITED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW, AND YOU SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO DAMAGES OF ANY OTHER KIND FROM THE COMPANY, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION.

CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU IN YOUR JURISDICTION, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS INCLUDING ANY STATUTORY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AS A CONSUMER.

22. INDEMNITY

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold 9Kitchens, and its subsidiaries, each of their directors, owners, affiliates, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, costs and expenses, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or in connection with your Content, your use of 9Kitchens, your conduct in connection to 9Kitchens, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of any third party, whether you are a registered user or not. You are solely responsible for your actions when using 9Kitchens, including, but not limited to, costs incurred for Internet access. All other rights, including damage claims by 9Kitchens, are hereby unaffected. This obligation will survive your use of the 9Kitchens Service.

23. EXTERNAL LINKS

9Kitchens may include links to other websites or resources. 9Kitchens has no control over such sites and resources and is therefore not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources. 9Kitchens does not endorse and is not responsible for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources or your use of such sites or resources.

The Site contains (or you may be sent through the Site or the Service) links to other web sites (“External Sites”) as well as articles, photographs, text, graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, applications, software and other content or items belonging to or originating from third parties (the “Third Party Applications, Software or Content”).
