7. Disclaimer of Warranties

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Site, nor do we guarantee that any defects will be corrected. The Site and its related services are provided “as is” and “with all faults,” without any warranties, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality of information, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information obtained through the Site.

8. Limitation of Liability

Neither we nor any third parties mentioned on the Site are liable for any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive, arising from or related to the use of the Site, its services, its content, or any linked websites. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. If you are dissatisfied with the Site or its services, your sole remedy is to discontinue using them. In cases where any part of these limitations of liability are found to be unenforceable, our maximum liability to you will not exceed $500.

9. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

We aim to resolve any issues you may have with the Site through our customer service department. However, if a resolution is not reached, both parties agree to settle disputes through binding arbitration rather than in court. Arbitration is less formal than court proceedings and uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Both parties agree to limited discovery and to cooperate on reasonable discovery requirements.

Notice Requirements

To initiate arbitration, send a written notice (“Notice”) by certified mail. The Notice must describe the nature of the claim and the relief sought. If an agreement is not reached within 30 days of receiving the Notice, either party may commence arbitration.

Arbitration Rules

Arbitration will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms of Use and can award the same damages as a court. Hearings will take place in the county of your billing address or, for non-U.S. residents, a reasonably convenient location in your country of residence.

Fees and Awards

Each party is responsible for its own costs. If you receive an award greater than our last written settlement offer, we will pay you the greater of the award or $1,000. Filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

Class Action Waiver

Both parties agree that claims can only be brought in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action. If this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining Terms of Use will remain in effect, and jurisdiction will fall to state or federal courts in Columbia, South Carolina.

10. Revisions and Termination

We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Site at our discretion, with or without cause, and with or without notice. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable by a competent court, the provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, while the rest of the Terms of Use remain in full effect. These Terms of Use represent the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the use of the Site. We may revise these Terms of Use at any time, and such revisions will be posted on this page. You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically. Continued use of the Site after any revisions constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

11. Sponsored Content

The Site may feature advertisements, sponsored content, or affiliate links. We may receive compensation or commissions for some of this content.
