The following is a legal disclaimer of warranty provided by Billing Circle (hereafter "BC") with regard to any and all products, content, services and navigation within this Web Site (collectively "the Service"), unless otherwise specified.
Billing Circle -- GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
You acknowledge and agree that you must: (a) provide for your own access to the World Wide Web and pay any service fees associated with such access, and (b) provide all equipment necessary for you to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or data connection.
You agree that use of the Service, including any applets, software (Online or Client Based), content and services accessible therein, are entirely at your own risk. The service is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, and BC and its subsidiaries or suppliers disclaim any and all warranties, including, but not limited to: (1) any warranties concerning access to the service, the availability, accuracy, usefulness of content, products or services and (2) any warranties of title, warranty of non-infringement, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. BC does not warrant that the service is free from defect, viruses, errors, or other limitations nor does BC warrant access to the Internet or to any other service or content through the service. The entire liability of BC or its representatives (as defined below) for any reason shall be limited to the amount paid by the customer for the related services or product purchased from BC or its authorized representatives. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BC and its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, participating institutions, third-party content or service providers, distributors, dealers or suppliers ("representatives") are not liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to: damages for loss of business, loss of profits or investment, or the like), whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability or otherwise, even if BC or its representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation and/or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain struck between BC and you. BC would not be able to have provided this service to you without such limitations.

This agreement is governed by California law as such laws apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents. Any claim arising out of or relating to this agreement or BC shall be settled by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's commercial arbitration rules. Any such claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, not consolidated with another party's claim. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court with jurisdiction, and the arbitrator's award shall not be appealable or reviewable except as permitted by California law. However, (a) each of us may seek interim relief from a Los Angeles, CA court to protect the party's rights or property while arbitration is pending, and (b) at our option, we may bypass arbitration in cases of fraud or other crimes against us, interference with our technical operations or violations of our rights or property.
