Some of the sites to which you may link from this Website are not owned by Citynet (collectively, “Third Party Sites”). Some Third Party Sites may contain the trademarks or “branding” of Citynet. You can tell if you have linked from one site to another site by looking at the URL in the browser window (or, if the link opens a new browser window, by looking at the URL found by “right–clicking” on the page in the window and selecting “properties”). If the second level domain of the URL for the page containing the link is different than the second level domain of the URL for the page to which you have linked, you have linked to a different site. For example, if you link from a page located at the URL www.thirdleveldomain.wvonline.com to a page located at the URL www.wvonline.com.secondleveldomain.com, you have linked to another site. Please note that any of Citynet’s trademarks or service marks may be included in the URL of a co–branded or private label site that is owned and operated by a third party, in a location other than that occupied by the second level domain (e.g., as the third level domain).
