4. YOOPLE.NET ADVANCED FEATURES

As the Site uses advanced Internet browser techniques and technologies, use of the Site may involve additional security risks to your computer. One technology used to improve your browsing experience involves retrieval of webpage content in the background while you are using the Site. This technique is similar to you opening multiple pages; as this happens automatically, however, the Site may retrieve webpage content that you did not request, and store it in your browser's cache. As when you open any webpage in your browser, you may be subject to third party code executed by such webpage, including pop-ups, pop-unders, misleading content, adult content, malicious code, and other similar devices. To minimize these risks, you should keep your computer up to date with all operating system and browser updates, and run suitable virus and firewall protection. You understand and agree however, that any use of the Internet involves some risk to your computer and data, and you agree that Digitalfog shall in no event be responsible for any third party content or code retrieved via the Site (including content retrieved into your browser's cache).
