8. Hyperlinks

The Website may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites, which are neither operated nor controlled by TFRA. Their inclusion is intended to facilitate access to additional information and does not constitute any endorsement, approval or recommendation, nor does it imply any liability for their respective content, policies or services. Users are advised to read the terms and privacy policies of third-party websites.

The creation of third-party hyperlinks to the Website requires the prior written authorisation of TFRA; any form of framing, deep linking or other technique that conceals the origin of the Content or misleads as to its authorship is prohibited.
