Nevertheless, you agree to use the Service at your sole risk and EMI will not be liable to you for content that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable. EMI does not guarantee the accuracy of any descriptions provided on the Websites.
4. CHILD SUPERVISION
We are concerned about the safety and privacy of our users, particularly children. Parents who wish to allow their children access to and use of the Websites should supervise such access and use.
