We assume no responsibility whatsoever for websites that Lifetracks.com either hyperlinks to or otherwise refers to. In particular, we do not assume any responsibility for any information or content on such sites (including, but not limited to, any views, advice, opinions, advertising, or recommendations).

The services provided via Lifetracks.com, including all content and information on this site, are provided as is, that is, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
Whilst YouthNet takes reasonable steps to ensure the quality of content and information made available on Lifetracks.com in general terms (other than content and information provided by users of the site), neither it nor its officers, employees, contractors or content providers assume any responsibility for the accuracy, correctness, relevance, completeness or currency of the information or other content on the site. The information and other content on the site are for general information only and are not intended to replace or substitute for the services of trained professionals. You should always promptly consult a doctor in all matters relating to physical or mental health, particularly concerning any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention. (With regard to your specific questions, please also see the Need an Answer section below).
YouthNet does not warrant that any functions contained in the Lifetracks.com will always be available or will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that content and materials on Lifetracks.com or the server that makes it available will be free of viruses or other harmful components.

The laws of England and Wales shall govern your use of the site and you hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Need an Answer
Our content partners will provide factual, unbiased information in response to your specific questions. However, please bear in mind that unlike professional experts who operate offline, our content partners will not have had the opportunity to meet you or conduct the sort of thorough and detailed assessment of your specific circumstances that is necessary to provide you with advice that may be relied upon. Indeed, they will not even know who you are, but only a few facts about your age, gender and general whereabouts. Therefore, whilst we hope that you will find their answers very helpful, they are not intended to be the answer or even the only answer. Often the right answer will vary from person to person, depending on facts outside of our and our content partners' knowledge and contemplation. askTheSite is a free information service and is not intended to replace or substitute for the services of professional experts but rather to provide signposts towards further information and support.
Surveys
Surveys act as a prize draw open to UK residents only. Prizes must be taken as stated and cannot be swapped or exchanged. Entrants must supply all details as required and comply with all the rules to be eligible for the prizes. No responsibility is accepted for ineligible entries or entries made fraudulently. Only one entry per person. The judges' decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Email addresses provided will only be used to contact prize winners.
Limitation of liability
Except for fraudulent misrepresentation and death or personal injury caused by our negligence, YouthNet, its officers, employees, contractors or content providers shall (to the extent permitted by law) not be liable for any loss or damage arising from or otherwise in connection with your use of (or inability to use) Lifetracks.com or any information, services or content on Lifetracks.com.
