BELIEFS will do all it reasonably can to protect this site and all internet communications passing between BELIEFS and users, but it cannot be held responsible for any losses fairly attributable to a user’s failure to take its own reasonable precautions to prevent interception of or interference with any such communications (including, without limitation) failure to use and keep up to date firewalls and anti-virus software on the user’s own computers or computer systems.
