No Warranties/Limitation of Liability

THE SITE AND ITS ASSOCIATED SITES AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER CBB NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE SITE MAKES ANY GUARANTIES OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND CONTENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT, WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES OR CONTENT WILL BE FREE OF ERRORS OR AVAILABLE, OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. CBB AND SUCH PERSONS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS, COST, DAMAGE, OR OTHER INJURY, OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE CONTENT HEREOF.

(I) YOUR USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, ANY SERVICE OR CONTENT, (II) THE SITE'S, CBB'S OR ANY OTHER PERSON'S PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR (III) YOUR PURCHASE AND USE OF ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES THROUGH THE SITE OR ITS ASSOCIATED SITES.

All users therefore agree that all access and use of the Site is the user's own risk. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of CBB and its respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and suppliers shall be limited in accordance with this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law. The user specifically waives any and all claims it may have arising out of use of the Site. Any service for which a separate fee is charged carries with it only the representations and warranties specifically stated attributable to that service.

CBB and its respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or other suppliers shall not be liable for any loss, cost, or damage due to causes beyond their control. You understand that CBB does not accept any responsibility for security of information transmitted over the Internet.

Without limiting any of the foregoing, if CBB or any of its respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors or suppliers are found liable to you for any claims or matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement, CBB's and such parties' aggregate and maximum liability for all such matters and claims in any calendar year shall not exceed the amounts paid by you to CBB for the specific Service or product giving rise to such liability.

CBB's Distribution of Third-Party Content

CBB does not exercise editorial control over third-party content provided, uploaded, published, or distributed by users and other participants in the Site. In other words, CBB is merely a distributor, not a publisher, of such content. Such content may contain the views, opinions, statements, offers, and other material of the respective users, suppliers, participants, or authors. CBB does not endorse, is not responsible for, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, such content or its accuracy, supplier ability or fitness for any particular purpose, and CBB shall not be liable for any harm resulting from or in connection with reliance on any such content. In addition, CBB shall not be a party to, or liable in any way for any harm associated with, any transaction between our users and any other user or participant in the Site. Any products or services offered or sold on or through the Site by any person other than CBB are offered or sold subject to terms and conditions solely between our users and such other person or supplier.
