Content Linked to by Grokker
The sites displayed in a Grokker map or linked to by Grokker Services are
developed by people over whom Grokker exercises no control. The search results
that appear in a Grokker map or list are provided by other sources of search
results, data and information and Grokker cannot and does not screen the
sites, data or information before including them in a Grokker map or list
of results. The use of Grokker Services may produce results and links
to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive.
We cannot guarantee that the use of Grokker Services will not locate unintended
or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of
any site included in any map or otherwise linked to by the Grokker Services.
Personal Use Only
The Grokker Services are made available for your personal, non-commercial
use only. You may not use the Grokker Services to sell a product or service,
or to increase traffic to your Web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising
sales. You may not take the results from a Grokker search and reformat and
display them, or mirror the Grokker home page or results pages on your Web
site. You may not "meta-search" Grokker. If you want to make commercial
use of the Grokker Services, you must enter into an agreement with Groxis
to do so in advance. Please contact us for more information.

how a website or webpage is displayed on Grokker for various queries;
- "meta-searching" Grokker; and
