You expressly agree that use of the online services is at your sole risk. Neither we, nor our affiliates, any of our officers, directors, employees, agents, third-party content providers, merchants, sponsors, licensors, or the like (collectively and individually, "Providers"), warrant that the online services will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor do they make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the online services or as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information, content, service or merchandise provided through the online services.

The online services are provided on an "As-is," "As-available" basis and we specifically disclaim warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. No oral advice or written information given by us, nor any other provider shall create a warranty.

8. Limitation of liability

Under no circumstances shall we or any other party involved in creating, producing or distributing the online services be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages for loss of profits, good will, use, data or other intangible losses (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages) that result from (I) the use of or inability to use the online services, (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the online services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the online services; or (v) any other matter relating to the online services. You hereby acknowledge that this paragraph shall apply to all content, merchandise, and services available through the online services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold us, and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders or other partners and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of User Content you transmit through the Online Services, your use of the Online Services, your connection to the Online Services, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of others' rights.

9. Florida use only

We control and operate the Online Services from within the State of Florida. We make no representation that any of the content or services to which you have been given access through the Online Services are available or appropriate for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the Online Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. Your use of or access to the Online Services should not be construed as Ripley Entertainment's purposefully availing itself of the benefits or privilege of doing business in any state or jurisdiction other than Florida.

You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in either Orange County, Florida or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, United States of America and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination, including but not limited to the restrictions, disclaimers, limitations, our rights to use submitted content, and rules regarding dispute resolution as well as the general provisions in this Section 9.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

10. Applicable law

Any claim relating to the Online Services shall be governed by the internal laws of the state of Florida, without reference to its choice of law provisions. Venue for any legal action relating to the products and services provided through the Online Services or the Content shall be Orange County, Florida.

11. General information

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us (you and us) and governs the use of the Online Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Online Services or the Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
