Furthermore, Go2Net assumes no responsibility for the content of any site found through MetaCrawler and Go2Net will not be responsible for any contamination or damage a user sustains as a result of entering a site found through MetaCrawler. The user proceeds at his or her own risk.

MetaCrawler finds information and sites for the user, but it is the user who must decide what to do with that information or those sites. Go2Net will not be responsible for the use or misuse of any information derived from a search query that responsibility rests solely in the hands of the user.
