Reservation of Rights
All content, communications, software applications, digital products, updates and features of this Service are copyrighted by the Service, its owners, suppliers or other third parties.
We reserve all rights not specifically granted to you. This means permission to use the Service and related intellectual property rights will be narrowly interpreted by a court in our favor.

System Security
We offer secure web pages to collect certain kinds of information from users and we store certain kinds of sensitive information in encrypted form.
We follow reasonable technical and management practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system.
While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Service reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.
Our Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy for this Site is posted at our main page. The terms of that Policy, and any future amendments to it, are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Agreement and subject to these terms.
Third parties providing goods or services to you (including those advertising or providing links on our Service) may have privacy policies or practices that differ from our own. Please check their sites’ privacy disclosures for details.
Liabilities.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT IS THE SERVICE LIABLE WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST SAVINGS, LOST PROFIT, LOST GOODWILL, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) EVEN IF NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF SUCH POSSIBILITY.
THIS LIMITATION IS A MATERIAL CONDITION TO THIS AGREEMENT, IS COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE AND HAS BEEN FACTORED INTO THE AGREEMENT AS A WHOLE.
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Service and its officers, directors, owners, agents, employees, advisers and consultants, from and against any claims, actions, demands, liability, damages (including legal and professional fees) asserted by any third party and arising from your use of the Service, your conduct, content, communications, alleged infringement of third party intellectual property or privacy rights, or violation of this Agreement.
Limitation of Remedies
You agree that if the Service breaches this Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy will be to terminate this Agreement and your relationship with the Service.
This applies regardless of whether the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Protected Parties
THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, LIABILITY LIMITS, INDEMNITIES AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT PROTECT THE SERVICE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OWNERS, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS, ADVISERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, ADVERTISERS, DISTRIBUTORS, RESELLERS, SUPPLIERS, PUBLISHERS AND PROMOTERS.
Force Majeure
The Service is not responsible for any delay or failure in performance of the Service in whole or in part for any reason including, without limitation: fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, civil disturbances, disruption of telecommunications, transportation, utilities, services or supplies, governmental action, computer viruses, corruption of data, hacker attack, incompatible or defective equipment, software or services or otherwise.
Nothing herein enlarges any warranty or diminishes any disclaimer under this Agreement.
No Outside Contracts
Because of the uncertainty and lack of uniformity of laws in other jurisdictions (particularly as applied to Internet sites), it is important to agree that our Service operates solely in Franklin County, North Carolina (our “Locality”).
You are using the Internet as your own agent to access and use our Service from the local Internet point of presence (POP) here in our Locality and you are using the Internet or public carrier as your local agent to take delivery of any information, products or services in our Locality.
This means all operations, services, deliveries, performance and contacts of our Service occur solely in our Locality.
Our Service does not submit to personal jurisdiction anywhere else and you irrevocably waive any claim to the contrary.
Injunctive Relief
If you violate or exceed the scope of this Agreement or infringe our proprietary rights, you agree we would be irreparably harmed and may (in addition to other relief and without having to post bond) obtain a court order enjoining your from further mischief.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH YOUR OWN LOCAL LAWS, WHICH MAY VARY WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES OR PEOPLE (e.g., MINORS).
You agree that US District Courts can hear cases involving copyright issues between us. Since we make no warranties and have limited our liabilities, you should have little reason to have a grievance with us.
Should you nevertheless bring legal action against us, you irrevocably agree it will be brought and maintained within one (1) year after the claim arises or be barred.
As disincentive for unwarranted litigation, you agree that if you sue us and don’t win on the merits, you will pay our defense costs, including reasonable legal fees for in-house and outside counsel.
If we are required to enforce this Agreement or our rights, you agree it is reasonable to send you legal notices and papers by electronic mail at your stated address (we would also attempt to send you a backup copy by regular mail).
