Providers contracted to participate on our platform are operated independently of YouDecide. YouDecide has no editorial control or responsibility for any content, goods, services, or other information the provider may offer. The opinions, statements, services, or other information provided by a provider are strictly those of the respective provider. YouDecide does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, statement, product, service, or other information provided by the providers. You agree not to hold YouDecide responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or losses caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on the content, products, services, or other materials made available by the providers on the YouDecide platform.
Each platform provider collects information based on the services or products they offer and according to their operating policies and underwriting guidelines. In some cases, such as when providing a quote for services, YouDecide may collect information from you on their behalf, transmit the information to the provider electronically, then transmit information back to you. In other cases, we provide a link to the provider's website so that you can complete the quoting or sign-up process there (external to YouDecide). In some cases, YouDecide may assist in facilitating payments between you and the provider by exchanging payroll deduction information with your employer. YouDecide does not process credit card payments or electronic funds transfers (EFTs) on behalf of the providers – you must pay the providers directly.
Provider websites are not under the control of or maintained by YouDecide. When you visit a provider's website via the YouDecide platform, that provider may use cookies without YouDecide's knowledge or control. Be sure you verify your cookie settings after navigating to those providers' sites and read their Terms of Use and Privacy Policies. Also, be aware that certain purchases you make with providers may have their own terms and conditions that govern that particular purchase of those goods or services. Such agreements are between you and the provider offering the goods or services, and not with YouDecide.
Our platform providers will not use information collected by YouDecide to telemarket their services to you, nor will they automatically place you on a mailing list. If you purchase products or services from a provider, you become part of their customer base and they will handle your information and communications to you in accordance with their company's privacy policies. We encourage you to obtain and read the Privacy Policies of each of the providers with whom you do business.
