If you wish to make any purchases or enter any financial dealings on a co-branded site, you may be asked by the third party operator to supply information about yourself and on your financial affairs, including your bank or credit card details. The third party operator will have their own terms and conditions and privacy policy which govern the relationship between you and that third party operator.

While we select our trading partners with great care, Hyperlocal Today cannot be held liable for any loss or damage whatsoever which you may suffer as a result of your decision to enter any dealings or transactions with or supply personal information to a trading partner or any third party.
