  The Site or Apps may contain links and access to other Websites or Apps that may not be owned or operated by us. The fact that we may link to those website or Apps does not indicate any approval or endorsement of those websites or Apps. We have no control over those websites or Apps. We are not responsible for the content of those website or Apps, or the privacy practices of those website or Apps. We strongly encourage you to become familiar with the terms of use and practices of any linked website or Apps. Your use of other website or Apps is at your own risk and is subject to the terms of those website or Apps. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from the Site or Apps or other Site or Apps) is free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs and other items of a destructive nature.
  The Site or Apps is directed to people residing in the United States. We do not represent that Content or Products available on or through the Site or Apps is appropriate or available in other locations. We may limit the availability of the Site or Apps or any service or product described on the Site or Apps to any person or geographic area at any time. If you choose to access the Site or Apps from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk.
  If you install or use our mobile application, software and services, including any accompanying documentation (collectively, " Mobile App"), we grant you a limited right to install and use the App on a single authorized device located in the United States and its territories or in another country where we may offer the Mobile App. You may use the Mobile App for your personal, non-commercial and entertainment purposes only. You agree to also comply with any App Store Terms of Service. We do not grant you any rights to any related documentation, support, upgrades, maintenance or other enhancements to the Mobile App. We will not provide you with any device, internet access or wireless connection to use the Mobile App. We are not responsible for any interaction between you and another App user, or information you transmit through the App (including your location).
  We provide the site or apps and the content to you "as is" and "as available." We try to keep the site or apps up, bug-free and safe, but you use it at your own risk. To the fullest extent permissible by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of title, non-infringement, accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or warranties that may arise from course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade. We do not guarantee that the site or apps will always be safe, secure or error-free or that the site or apps will always function without disruptions, delays or imperfections. We are not responsible for the actions or information of third parties, and you release us from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you. If you are a California resident, you waive California civil code §1542, which says: a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
  (a) any failure of another user of the site or apps to conform to the codes of conduct,
  (b) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, whether arising in contract or in tort, resulting from your access to and use of our site or apps,
  (d) any bugs, viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs or other items of a destructive nature which may be transmitted to or through our site or apps,
  Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the site or apps is to stop using the site or apps. The limitations in this section will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. The allocation of risk between us is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between us. Our aggregate liability arising out of these terms or the use of the site or apps will not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of damages, so these may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In no event will attorneys' fees be awarded or recoverable.
  If anyone brings a claim against us related to your use of the Site or Apps, your User Content or your violation of these Terms, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us and our affiliated companies, event providers, suppliers, advertisers and sponsors, and each of our officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs). We reserve the right to take exclusive control and defense of any claim, and you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.
