8. E-COMMERCE
The Site may offer various educational packages, instructional videos or other products for sale (collectively “Packages”) or resale from third parties (“Resale Merchandise”), or direct or link to other Web sites that sell goods and services (“Linked Merchandise”), all collectively referred to as “Merchandise”. In order to request Merchandise from the Site you must be at least 18 years-of-age or older or have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you live or reside. By placing such an order for Merchandise, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years-of-age or older or have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you live or reside. We reserve the right to discontinue distributing Merchandise without notice, even if you have already placed your order. The inclusion of any Merchandise on the Site at a particular time does not imply or warrant that such Merchandise will be available at all times.
All Merchandise prices are shown in U.S. dollars, and are valid and effective for all Merchandise ordered through the Site on the day they are ordered. Merchandise is subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if you have already placed your order. All prices are subject to change without notice.
We try to assure the accuracy of all information displayed on the Site, but it is possible that the information contains errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. You accept full responsibility for your use of the Site. In particular, with respect to Merchandise offered on the Site, we have tried to accurately display colors, but depending on the specifications and settings of your computer and its monitor the colors you see might not accurately depict the actual colors of the Merchandise. Minor color variations will not be considered as resulting in Merchandise being deemed defective. In addition, due to typical and very common manufacturing inconsistencies, Merchandise weights and measurements can vary slightly from the specific information set forth on the Site. Minor variations in Merchandise weighs and measurements will not be considered as resulting in Merchandise being deemed defective.
We have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for Resale Merchandise or Linked Merchandise. Moreover, we are not responsible in any manner for assisting you in correcting any problem you may experience with such Resale Merchandise or Linked Merchandise. You agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for defective Resale Merchandise or Linked Merchandise lies with the specific manufacturer, licensor or distributor of the products and not Accel OB. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY AND ALL MERCHANDISE. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN WRITING, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY AND EVERY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL MERCHANDISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
You are responsible for any taxes imposed on the sale or use of Merchandise and applicable taxes will be added to the amount charged for Merchandise purchased on the Site. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Accel OB, its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, representatives, advertisers, service providers and suppliers harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), resulting from your failure to pay any taxes to the proper governmental authorities.
9. HYPERLINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEB SITES.
The Site may provide links to third party Web sites and other resources that could be of interest to our users, including the Web sites of our affiliates or advertisers. You understand, acknowledge and agree that these links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Accel OB of the content, advertising or business practices (including the privacy policies) of such third party Web sites, whether Accel OB’s logo or sponsorship identification is on the third party Web site, or whether such Web site conducts “framing,” which allows a user to access several Web pages or Web sites while still viewing a header or border from the Site. These third party Web sites may have different privacy policies and business practices than we do. Accel OB does not endorse, verify, make any representations, or take responsibility for the content, truthfulness, accuracy, quality or completeness of the content or activities conducted on such third party Web sites. You understand and agree that the Site, Accel OB, its affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, and operational service providers will not, under any circumstances, be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your use of or reliance on the content, advertising or business practices of linked third party sites. If you decide to access and use linked third party Web sites, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you do so entirely at your own risk. If any third party site obtains or collects personally identifiable information from you, in no event shall we assume or have any responsibility or liability. Please read our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and uses your personally identifiable information.
10. EMAIL.
Email is an important communications channel for the Site and Accel OB. All email sent to us should be generated by the person in whose name the email account is registered.

Any non-personal content you provide to the Site by email, including, but not limited to, feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, plans, ideas or the like (collectively “Information”), shall be deemed to be non-confidential and we assume no obligation to protect such Information from disclosure. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that if you submit any such Information to us, it shall in no way prevent the use of similar plans and ideas by Accel OB, this Site and our corporate affiliates, for any purpose whatever, and we shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose and distribute such Information without restriction.
11. DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

12. ADS AND MALWARE.
We take great care and pride in creating the Site. We are always on the lookout for technical glitches that effect how the Site works. When we find them on our end, we will fix them. Unfortunately, your home computer may cause some glitches that effect how you see the Site – and that is totally beyond our control.
If you experience any unusual behavior, content or ads on the Site, it may be the result of Malware on your computer. Malware – short for Malicious software – is a term used to broadly classify a form of software which is installed in a computer system with malicious intentions, usually without the owner’s knowledge or permission. Malware includes computer viruses, key loggers, malicious active content, rogue programs and dialers, among others. While we continuously work closely with our partners to ensure that everything on the Site is working properly, sometimes Malware programs on your personal computer may interfere with your experience on the Site and on other sites that you visit. If you do discover any Malware on your system, we suggest you speak with a qualified computer technician.
13. INTERNATIONAL USE.
Although the Site may be accessible worldwide, we make no representation that any of our Content or the Merchandise provided through the Site are lawful, appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States of America, and accessing them from territories where such Content or Merchandise are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all local laws. Any offer for Merchandise, and/or information made in connection with the Site, is void where prohibited.

This Agreement cannot be modified, changed or terminated by you, except as specifically described herein. We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to modify this Agreement at any time.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this will not affect any other provisions and this Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable. Any provision which must survive in order to allow us to enforce its meaning shall survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, no action arising out of this Agreement or your use of the Site, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause of action arose).
This Agreement and your use of the Site shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts made, executed and wholly performed in that State, and, for the purposes of any and all legal or equitable actions, you specifically agree and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the applicable State and Federal Courts situated in the State of Maryland and agree you will not object to such exclusive jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, that the forum or venue is inconvenient or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that Accel OB has the sole right and discretion to commence and prosecute an action against you in connection with this Agreement, in your home jurisdiction.
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED TO ENFORCE ANY RIGHT OR OBLIGATION OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAW, YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER POSSESS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Where text requires, words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice-versa, and words of any gender shall be deemed to include all genders.
