5. Unlawful Links, Comments

hungaroo makes diligent efforts to keep its search engines free of links with unlawful content. The same holds true for unlawful comments by users. Owing to the great number of links and comments, however, hungaroo is not able to pro-actively check all of the above for unlawful content. This is the reason why hungaroo needs your help to get rid of links to websites with unlawful content and comments of third parties: if you find such a link or comment, please report it to abuse@hungaroo.com. If there is reasonable suspicion, hungaroo will delete the link or comment and, if applicable, take further legal action.

In such a case we kindly ask you to report such a link or comment again to the above mentioned email address.
