LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND TERMS OF SERVICE Your subscribing to NetwurX and use of our service is subject to your acceptance of the following terms and conditions. These same terms and conditions will appear on your computer screen the first time you sign on to NetwurX and you will be asked to acknowledge that you have read, understood, accept and agree to be bound by them. These terms are to be considered your "NetwurX Contract" and outline our responsibilities to you, as well as yours to us. We encourage you to read all the terms and conditions before indicating your acceptance of them when activating your account during the initial "sign on." Overview Liability for Interruptions and Errors in Service: (b) No Consequential Damages: NetwurX services are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. You use NetwurX at your sole risk. NetwurX is not responsible for any direct, indirect, special or consequential damages resulting from the use of NetwurX, or any interruption, error or inaccuracy in the service or products provided. In other words, you agree that NetwurX is not responsible for loss or damage which you may sustain if NetwurX, does not perform up to your expectations, regardless of the cause. This would include, among other things, any loss or damage resulting from interruptions of service, delays, computer "viruses," the incomplete or inaccurate delivery, uploading or downloading of files or information and the failure to deliver or deletion of e-mail or other communications. In the event of a disruption of service, NetwurX's liability, if any, will be limited to the pro rata amount of any prepaid fees for the period of the month during which the interruption occurred. The laws of some states limit or do not allow the limitation or waiver of consequential damages. If the laws of such a state are found to any claim by or against NetwurX, the limitations and disclaimers contained here shall be to the greatest extent permitted by law. Indemnity of NetwurX against Damage for Unlawful Use: (a)Defamation, Libel and Slander: NetwurX exercises no editorial control over the content of material, messages, images or other information posted by its subscribers or available on the Internet. NetwurX provides you with the ability to communicate and share information with other NetwurX subscribers, as well as other users of the Internet. Because of the amount of information available through our service, and through the Internet, in general, it is inevitable that there will be postings that are malicious or offensive in nature. To the extent you believe that something available through our service defames you or injures your reputation or character, in any manner, you agree to look solely to the person or persons responsible for posting the information. You acknowledge that NetwurX shall have no liability to you for the content of any information, images, or other material available through NetwurX, regardless whether such material is true or false, and regardless of whether such material may constitute libel or slander or result in liability on the part of the originator of the material under federal or state law. Similarly, while we discourage our subscribers from posting defamatory, offensive or malicious material, we do not expressly forbid such material or actively police our service to prevent the posting of such matters. In the event that you use NetwurX in any manner which results in NetwurX's being named in any legal action, civil or criminal, you agree to indemnify and hold NetwurX harmless from all loss or damages sustained by NetwurX, including costs incurred by NetwurX in defending such legal action. (b)Obscene, Pornographic or "Adult" Material: Even persons with little or no experience on the Internet now know that there are files, text, and images available that are not appropriate for children or persons who are offended by matters having an explicit sexual content. Because NetwurX exercises no control over content, NetwurX assumes no liability for materials which may be offensive to some members. Likewise, NetwurX makes no representations that "Adult" or pornographic material is available through its service. NetwurX does not grant subscriptions to minors. We assume that any subscribers who allow their children access to NetwurX or any other Internet service provider will make every effort to supervise their children and exercise control over the content and areas of the Internet to which they are granted access. There are a number of commercially available products and software applications that are designed to provide a degree of "parental control." NetwurX, for its part, does not directly provide any parental controls and does not sponsor, endorse or make any representations as to the effectiveness of particular products or software applications designed for parental control.

You agree to indemnify NetwurX and hold us harmless from all liability, loss or damage NetwurX may incur, including legal fees and costs, as a result of your posting, uploading or downloading, or making available for downloading, any obscene, profane, sexually explicit or otherwise illegal material.
