WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

To the fullest extent permissible by law, your use of this site is at your own risk. The web site and all elements thereof, including content and functions made available on or accessed through this site, are provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied. I make no warranties that the information presented on the web site is current, up-to-date, or accurate.

I make no representation about the suitability of the information, products and services contained on the website for the accuracy, merchantability, fitness for any or a particular purpose. I disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

I do not warrant that the web site will operate or perform in a manner that is uninterrupted or error-free, or that the web site or host server will be maintained free of viruses or other harmful code that may infect, harm, or cause damage to your computer equipment or any other property when you access, browse, download from, or otherwise use this site.

LIABILITY LIMITATION

Under no circumstance, including but not limited to my negligence, and regardless of legal theory, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, will I be liable to you or any other party for indirect, punitive, special, incidental, reliance, or consequential damages, however caused, and regardless of character—including, without limitation, lost data, computer failure or malfunctioning, any damages relating to the use of, the inability to use, or errors or omissions in the content and functions of this site, or otherwise—even if I or an authorized representative of mine has been adviced of the possibility of such damages.

Ouch!

Some states and jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for consequential or indirect damages, or limitations on implied warranties, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you. The foregoing shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. You agree to this allocation of risk in relation to your use of the web site.

If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.

As a condition of use of this web site, or any other hyperlinked website or document, you agree to indemnify me from and against any and all claims, demands, judgments, costs, liabilities, expenses (including attorneys' fees), and damages arising out of claims resulting from your use of this web site, including, without limitation, any claims alleging facts that if true would constitute a breach by the yoUser of these terms and conditions.
