The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by Bytesize Network. We provide these links for your convenience and informational purposes only.

We do not endorse, monitor, or have any control over the content, policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
