  • If you are accessing or using the Products through a third party service or web site ("Third Party Service"), you will abide by these Terms and Conditions of Use regardless of anything to the contrary in your agreement with such third party. You shall not use such Third Party Service to avoid the restrictions set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Use.

The Products are provided subject to these Terms and Conditions of Use, as they may be amended by Incontrol Marketing, and any guidelines, rules or operating policies that may establish and post from time to time (collectively, the "Agreement"), including without limitation Incontrol Marketing's customer Privacy Policy, as linked from all email generated from Incontrol Marketing or otherwise furnished to you (the "Policy") (unless otherwise stated, all references to the Agreement shall include the Policy). By posting updated versions of the Agreement on the Incontrolmarketing.co.uk website, or otherwise providing notice to you, Incontrol Marketing may modify the terms of the Agreement and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Products in its sole discretion.
