Our site, including all content, memberships, membership packages, subscriptions, products and services made available on or accessed through this site, is provided to you “as is”. Except to the extent expressly stated herein, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, neither InfoDefender nor its partners make any representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever as to the content, memberships, products or services available on or accessed through the site or the use thereof in terms of their completeness, correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability, freedom from computer virus or otherwise or and warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance; that you will have continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our site, memberships, products or services; that our site, memberships, products or services will be error free; that defects will be corrected, that this site or the server that makes the site available are free of viruses or other harmful components or that there will be no unauthorized access to your personal information. In addition, except for the limited warranty expressly set forth in this agreement under the section entitled “limited warranty”, InfoDefender and its partners expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties, including, without limitation, as to title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and informational content. Therefore, you agree that your access to and use of our site, memberships, products, services and content are at your own risk.

The entire risk arising out of the use of the site, the use of any products and/or services offered on or in connection with the site and/or the use of any content remains with you. By using our site, you acknowledge and agree that neither InfoDefender nor its partners have any liability to you (whether based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise) for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages (which shall include, without limitation, damages for loss of business, loss of profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of our site, content, memberships, products or services (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages), including liability associated with any viruses which may infect your computer equipment.

  1. Updates to Agreement

This agreement and conditions under which we offer the site may prospectively be modified and we may cease offering the site under the agreement or additional terms for which they were previously offered. Accordingly, each time you sign in to or otherwise use the site you are entering into a new agreement with us on the then applicable agreement and conditions and you agree that we may notify you of other agreements by posting them on the site (or in any other reasonable manner of notice which we elect), and that your use of the site after such notice constitutes your going forward agreement to the other agreement for your new use and transactions. Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use and any applicable additional terms each time you use the site. The additional terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. However, the agreement (and any applicable additional terms) that applied when you previously used the site will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You can reject any new, revised or additional terms by discontinuing use of the site and related services.
