Links
The network contains links to other World Wide Web sites provided by independent third parties ("Third Party sites"), either directly or through frames. Where possible, ESA will make clear where such links are being made, though Third Party sites may be co-branded with ESA and so include Footymad's trademark.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of that provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
