PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING USER AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE LEGAL DISCLAIMER, LIABILITY LIMITATIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS BELOW) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEB SITE OR USING OUR OTHER SERVICES. By using our website or other services, you agree to the terms of this User Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this User Agreement, you may not use our website or other services. We reserve the right, at any time, to modify, alter, or update this User Agreement, and you agree to be bound by such modifications, alterations, or updates once they are posted on our website.

Significance of Ratings
Customer ratings reflect the aggregated responses of actual customers. As such, these ratings are informative for those wishing to use them, but they do not guarantee any level of performance by an online merchant or other third party in any given transaction.

All other ratings reflect the aggregated responses of hundreds or thousands of actual of actual online buyers. Again, as such, these ratings are informative for those wishing to use them, but they do not guarantee any level of performance by an online merchant or other third party in any given transaction.

Participating merchants and other third parties may pay us to be presented on our site or to have their product or service offerings featured in our search results, and may also purchase research from TrustedSite, but in no event does any such payment affect the merchant rating given to any merchant by participating online shoppers.

Users agree not to take any actions for the purpose of manipulating or distorting, or that may undermine the integrity and accuracy of, the merchant ratings.

Consumer Reviews
The consumer reviews on our site are comments received from actual customers--typically many thousands of consumers who have elected to post a review on our site. As such, these reviews are informative for those wishing to use them, but they do not guarantee any level of performance by an online merchant or other third party in any given transaction.

Participating merchants and other third parties may pay us to be presented on our site or to have their product or service offerings featured in our search results, and may also purchase research from TrustedSite, but in no event does any such payment affect the reviews given to any merchant by participating online shoppers.

Users agree not to take any actions for the purpose of manipulating or distorting, or that may undermine the integrity and accuracy of, the merchant reviews. Furthermore, users agree not to post any review that is false or that contains profanity, personal attacks upon individuals, ethnic slurs, personal information such as credit card numbers, material that violates another's legal rights, or other offensive or inappropriate content for a general shopping audience. By posting a review, the poster thereby represents that the review is based upon an actual online shopping experience with the merchant being reviewed and irrevocably assigns all copyright and other intellectual property rights in the review to TrustedSite. TrustedSite may publish the review in its discretion and reserves the right to remove or alter the content of any review deemed offensive or in violation of TrustedSite's policies, and all decisions by TrustedSite in this regard are final.

Legal Disclaimer
TrustedSite shall not be held responsible or liable for any actions taken, either wholly or in part, based on the information provided on TrustedSite, or for any loss, damage, expense or injury resulting from any transactions conducted with any online merchant or other third party listed on TrustedSite. The information, services, products, and materials contained in this website or available through our other services, including, without limitation, all text, graphics, and links, are provided on an "AS IS" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, TrustedSite DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INFORMATION, SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, as well as representations and warranties of title, non-infringement, freedom from computer viruses, worms, and other operating problems, and implied warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance. Some states may not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. You may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state.

In addition, since TrustedSite cannot verify all information provided by online merchants and other third parties, and errors in gathering or reporting such information may occur due to the large volume of merchants with many different products and services, TrustedSite does not represent or warrant that the information accessible via our website or other services is always accurate, complete or current, and shall not be liable for or responsible to honor (or to cause any merchant to honor) any erroneous information regarding the price, description and availability of, or any discounts, offers, promotions and coupons relating to, any product or service offerings available on our website or through our other services. Furthermore, due to the dynamic nature of online shopping, all information regarding such matters is subject to change without notice. TrustedSite SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, OR INJURY YOU MAY SUSTAIN THROUGH YOUR RELIANCE UPON INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH TrustedSite'S SERVICES OR YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, whether or not they were accessed via our website or other services.

Liability Limitations
In no event shall TrustedSite or its affiliates or agents (the "TrustedSite Parties") be liable, whether in an action under contract, negligence, or any other theory, arising out of or in connection with the use, inability to use, or performance of the information, services, products, and materials available from this website or through our other services, in an amount greater than the lower of (i) the price of the merchandise or service involved in the transaction or proposed transaction as to which one or more TrustedSite Parties is held to be negligent or otherwise responsible, or (ii) if no such merchandise or service is involved, or if the value thereof would exceed $100, then a maximum liability limitation of $100 in the aggregate. You and we agree that this is a fair allocation of risk based upon the manner and cost by which TrustedSite's services are provided to you, and taking into account your ability to take other measures or consult other resources in connection with purchasing goods and services online. FURTHERMORE, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TrustedSite PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, even if we have been previously advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding to any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Some states may not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Third-Party Sites
Our website, emails, or other services may include links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by online merchants, and other third parties. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for the availability of, or the content located on or through, any third-party site.

In each of these areas, the TrustedSite header will note that the services are "Powered by" or "By" the third-party. This indicates that the content resides on the third party's servers and your use of those services is governed by that company's privacy policies and terms of use, which you can access at the bottom of each page in those areas. We recommend that you always review their privacy policies and terms of use before you complete any transaction with them.

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in no event shall either you or TrustedSite be entitled to punitive damages and both you and TrustedSite hereby waive your and TrustedSite's respective rights to any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages for any loss of profit, revenue or business.
