In most cases, these are community-submitted, and we do not control or endorse them, nor are we responsible for their content or practices. Some businesses or services may appear as verified or promoted partners through advertising or partnership arrangements. While we acknowledge these relationships, we are not responsible for their operations, offerings, or compliance, and users should exercise their own judgment before engaging with them.
