## Why this rule exists

A messaging programme sends links, and some of them lead off the brand's own site — to a delivery carrier, a booking platform, a payment page — so the disclaimer covers destinations the business does not control. Without it, the terms implicitly stand behind every page a message can reach.

## How to fix it

Add the disclaimer and name the kinds of third-party service you link to. Done when the terms make clear which destinations you stand behind.

## Example of a compliant value

```text
Our site and our messages link to services we do not control, such as delivery tracking. Their own terms and privacy policies apply there.
