We do not make any warranty that the Services will meet your requirements, or that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free, or that defects, if any, will be corrected. Nor do we make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services or as to the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through use of the Services. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the Services will create any warranty not expressly set out in this Agreement.

We do not make claim that you will receive continual and uninterrupted Services during the term of this Agreement. In no event shall we be liable to you for any damages resulting from or related to any failure or delay to provide the Service under this Agreement if such delays or failures are due to strikes, riots, fire, inclement weather, acts of God, theft or vandalism or other causes beyond our control.
