Effective Date: September 1, 2016

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Welcome to Safe Search (the "Service") operated by the Symantec entity set forth below ("Symantec" or "we"). Your use of the Service, information, and content available through the Service are subject to applicable laws and the following terms of service ("Terms of Service"). If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, do not use the Service or access the information and content available through the Service. Please note that Symantec reserves the right to revise the Terms of Service at any time, without notice to you, by posting an update to this page.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY USING THE SERVICE AND/OR INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, YOU HAVE AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE.

RIGHT TO ACCESS

You affirm that you are over the age of 13. If you are under 13 years of age, you may not access or use the Service.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE

Safe Search is a search engine that removes from your search results, the links and images that have been classified as offensive or malicious by Symantec's WebPulse technology. If you are not using the K9 Web protection software, then the default filter policy of WebPulse will apply. If you are using the K9 Web protection software, then your search results are filtered based on the policy you establish using the K9 Web protection software in addition to the filter policy of WebPulse. Note that certain results of Safe Search are filtered (e.g., pornographic sites) regardless of the policy you set using the K9 Web protection software because the Service search results are first filtered by WebPulse's policy.

LINKS

A search using the Service may still produce search results and links to sites that some people may find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. Symantec does not guarantee that the Service will identify unintended or objectionable content, and Symantec assumes no responsibility for the any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from the sites to which the search results may link to. Symantec assumes no responsibility for the content or privacy policies of third-party sites. By using the Service, you expressly waive any rights, claims or liability against Symantec from your use of any third-party sites.

In the event you wish to report objectionable sites, Symantec has provided you with an option to report sites at http://sitereview.bluecoat.com. To report objectionable images resulting from your search on the Safe Search site, simply click on the "Report Ad" link shown under the advertisement section of the search result webpage.
