Disclaimers and Other Legal-like Stuff
Carbuzzard.com, a slightly-off-the-branch division of John Matras Media LLC, is an online automotive news, opinion and car review website that also provides an index of car reviews, driving impressions and road tests located at third party sites. Any links are intended strictly to guide users to reviews, driving impressions providing visitors to third party sites at no charge to the visitors or the third party sites. In other words, it’s like the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature you were supposed to use when writing your high school term papers; Carbuzzard.com is a reference aid with each page linked having been selected by a living, breathing relatively sentient being rather than search engine’s programming. We think our warmware beats their software.
Furthermore, anyone following a link from carbuzzard.com to a third party site leaves Carbuzzard.com. While carbuzzard.com has reviewed every linked third party sites, it claims neither ownership of nor responsibility for any information, representations, opinions or other content on those third party sites. Carbuzzard.com assumes no responsibility for any consequences resulting from visiting those third party sites, nor for that matter, any information, representations, opinions or other content on the carbuzzard.com website.
Carbuzzard.com will remove broken links as possible and encourages notification of any such. Some links may require registration to view; it’s the user’s choice to do so or not.
Carbuzzard.com will make all reasonable efforts to remove links to objectionable sites, as determined by carbuzzard.com, and encourages notification of links considered objectionable by users. Advertisements may be provided by third parties. Carbuzzard.com wishes only to be associated with reputable businesses, organizations and individuals. Please notify carbuzzard.com of any bad guys out there. Carbuzzard.com wants no part of that.
Furthermore, carbuzzard.com respects your privacy. Carbuzzard.com collects no information on visitors, although carbuzzard.com advertisers or other third party sites may do so. Users are responsible for relationships and transactions with third party sites, vendors and advertisers. Choosing to do business with third vendors is at the visitor’s risk. Carbuzzard.com recommends that visitors to third party sites review the privacy policies of such third parties before providing personal information and otherwise pursue with due diligence. You’re a grownup; act like it. (Or if you aren’t, where are your parents anyway?)
Carbuzzard.com staff accept travel to, and lodging and meals at five star hotels and restaurants in exotic locales, all provided by car manufacturers and other parties. Furthermore, manufacturers and others provide carbuzzard.com staff the free use of vehicles for testing and evaluation but, hey, carbuzzard.com does have to fuel them, and with the price of gas lately that’s no trifle. Finally, gifts, gratuities, trinkets and other goodies (including more gimme hats than you can possibly imagine) are accepted by carbuzzard.com staff. If you believe any of the foregoing affects the journalistic independence of or otherwise corrupts carbuzzard.com staff, you are entitled to your opinion.

Ornithologists, relax. Yes, we know that there are no buzzards native to North America, only vultures. But “carvulture” just doesn’t have much of a ring to it, does it?
