American Express says it cannot control linked or framed third-party content and that a link is not an endorsement
American Express says its Sites may link to other websites or digital properties to reach third-party material, or may bring third-party material into a Site through “inverse” hyperlinks and framing technology; the text calls any such site a “Linked Site”. It states that it has no discretion to alter, update or control the content on a Linked Site, and that providing a link is not an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship or affiliation with that site, its owners or its providers. It urges you to understand the risks of relying upon, using or retrieving information from the internet before doing so on a Linked Site.

Qualifications & exceptions
“Linked Site” includes third-party material brought into a Site by framing, not only separate websites.
Not stated here

Linking & Identification · Restriction or exception
American Express prohibits caching, unauthorized hypertext links to the Sites and framing of Site content
Under the heading Linked Internet Sites, American Express prohibits caching, unauthorized hypertext links to the Sites and the framing of any Content available through its Sites. It reserves the right to disable any unauthorized links or frames. The word “unauthorized” sits next to the hypertext links; the text does not say whether it also limits the ban on framing, and it does not say how a link becomes authorized. This restricts what others do with American Express's Sites, in contrast to the earlier statement that the Sites may themselves frame third-party material.
