Intellectual property

The site's text, illustrations, design and other content are owned by Prepared American or used with consent, and are protected by copyright and other laws. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of that content to you.

Third-party links and partner offers

The site may link to websites, products or services operated by others, including on special offer or partner pages.
