4.4 On the content and services linked through the Website
The Website access service includes technical linking devices, directories and even search tools that permit the User to access other websites and internet portals (hereinafter, ‘Linked Sites’).

The Linked Sites are provided solely for reference purposes.
Although YOUR HOUSE IN JAPAN only provides links to websites that to the best of its knowledge meet the applicable legislation, YOUR HOUSE IN JAPAN is not aware and does not approve of the content or services of Linked Sites and, therefore, cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the unlawfulness, quality, obsoleteness, unavailability, error or ineffectuality of the content and/or services of Linked Sites, or for any other damage that is not directly attributable to YOUR HOUSE IN JAPAN.

a) Personal data of the communicating party: name, address, telephone number and e-mail address;

d) An express representation that the information contained in the communication is accurate.
Receipt by YOUR HOUSE IN JAPAN of the communication provided for in this clause will not imply, pursuant to the provisions of the Law, actual knowledge of the activities and/or content indicated by the communicating party.
