Links and Search Results
The Site may automatically produce search results that reference or link to third-party
sites throughout the World Wide Web. Greener Spots has no control over these sites
or the content within them. Greener Spots cannot guarantee, represent, or warrant
that the content contained in these sites is accurate, legal, and/or inoffensive.
Greener Spots does not endorse the content of any third-party site, nor do we
warrant that it will not contain viruses or otherwise impact your computer. By using
the Site to search for or link to another site, you agree and understand that you
may not make any claim against Greener Spots for any damages or losses, whatsoever,
resulting from your use of the Site to obtain search results or to link to another

take any actions Greener Spots deems appropriate at our sole discretion.
Business listings located on Greener Spots are selected for display in search
results based primarily on their content in relation to the user-provided search
terms. Consequently, both customer and non-customer listings will be included in
a search results list, and Greener Spots will not discriminate based on whether
a business is a customer with regard to placement or inclusion in the business listings.
Greener Spots customers do not pay to be included in certain search result listings
or to retain a specific ranking unless they are specifically participating in various
advertising programs wich are labeled as such.
Greener Spots customer listings may be rotated within the search results due to
a number of factors, none of which are determined by paid inclusion or paid placement.
Thus, such variable placement of Greener Spots customers is not intended to displace
non-customer search results placement or inclusion. Indeed, non-customers with a
good deal of quality content could appear higher on search result returns than Greener Spots
customers.
Offline Conduct
Although Greener Spots cannot monitor the conduct of its users off the Site, it
is a violation of these rules to use any information obtained from this Site in
order to harass, abuse, or harm another person, or in order to contact, advertise
