10. Warranties, Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

You expressly understand and agree that:

Your use of the website is at your sole risk. The Site and the materials contained herein are
provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these
Terms of Use, ASHER and its respective officers, directors, employees and other representatives
(collectively, the “ASHER parties”), expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether
express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the ASHER parties make no warranty that: (i) the Site will meet your requirements; (ii) the Site

The ASHER parties shall not under any circumstances be liable for any damages of any kind
arising out of, in connection with or relating to the use of or inability to use the website,
including any liability: (i) as a publisher of information; (ii) for any incorrect or inaccurate
information; (iii) for any unauthorized access to or disclosure of your transmissions or data; (iv)
for statements or conduct of any third party on the website; or (v) for any other matter relating to

damages, whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence),
product liability or otherwise, even if an individual advises of the possibility of such damages.
The limitations of liability set forth herein are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain
between ASHER and you. The information and services offered on and through the Site would
not be provided without such limitations.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole and entire maximum liability of the ASHER parties for
any reason, and your sole and exclusive remedy for any cause or claim whatsoever, shall be
limited to the amount paid by you for any information or service purchased by you from ASHER
on this Site.


Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion
of liability for certain types of damages. Accordingly, some of the above disclaimers and
limitations may not apply to you.


11. Indemnification


You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the ASHER parties against all claims,
demands, causes of action, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including any reasonable
attorneys’ fees), resulting or arising from or relating to your use of or conduct at the Site, any
material that you submit to, post on or transmit through the Site, your breach of these Terms of
Use, your infringement or violation of any rights of another, or termination of your access to the
Site.


12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction


These Terms of Use are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the
United States and the State of New Jersey. Any disputes arising under or in connection with

of the State and federal courts located in Teaneck, New Jersey.

The Service constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern
your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications
and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any
prior versions of the Terms of Service).


If any provision of these Terms of Use be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of any
remaining provisions will not be affected.


The failure of ASHER to insist upon strict adherence to any term of these Terms of Use shall not
constitute a waiver of such term and shall not be considered a waiver or limit that party’s right
thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term contained in these Terms
of Use.
