Provided we have acted with reasonable skill and care, we do not accept responsibility for: losses not caused by our breach of these Terms or otherwise by our acts; losses which are not reasonably foreseeable by you and us at the time of entering into these Terms; any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable content posted by others that you may encounter on our Service; and events beyond our reasonable control.

Information from partners
Advertisers, app developers, and publishers can send us information through Facebook, Google, MailChimp, Other Business Tools, including our social plug-ins (such as the Like button), Facebook Login, our APIs and SDKs, or the Facebook pixel.
