YOUR
SOLE REMEDY AGAINST MMS FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT
IS TO STOP USING THE SITE OR ANY SUCH CONTENT. THIS LIMITATION
OF RELIEF IS A PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
The above disclaimer applies to any damages, liability
or injuries caused by any failure of performance,
error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect,
delay in operation or transmission, computer virus,
communication line failure, theft or destruction
of or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use,
whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence
or any other cause of action.

at any time, without notice: (1) to modify, suspend

modify or change the Site, or any portion of the

Limitation of Liability
Except where prohibited by law, in no event will
MMS be liable to you for any indirect, consequential,
exemplary, incidental or punitive damages, including
lost profits, even if MMS has been advised of the
possibility of such damages.
If, notwithstanding the other provisions of these
Terms of Use, MMS is found to be liable to you for
any damage or loss which arises out of or is in any
way connected with your use of the Site or any Content,
MMS’s liability shall in no event exceed the
greater of (1) the total of any subscription or similar fees with
respect to any service or feature of or on the Site paid in the six
(6) months prior to the date of the initial claim made against MMS
(but not including the purchase price for any MMS software products
or any other products purchased or downloaded from the Site), or (2)
US$100.00. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability,
so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold MMS, its officers,
directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors
in interest, employees, agents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, harmless from any demands, loss, liability,
claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made
against MMS by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection
with your use of the Site.
Violation of These Terms of Use
MMS may disclose any information we have about you
(including your identity) if we determine that such
disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation
or complaint regarding your use of the Site, or to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be causing injury to or interference with
(either intentionally or unintentionally) MMS’s rights or property,
or the rights or property of visitors to or users of the Site, including
MMS’s customers. MMS reserves the right at all times to disclose
any information that MMS deems necessary to comply with any applicable
law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. MMS
also may disclose your information when MMS determines that applicable
law requires or permits such disclosure, including exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection purposes.
You acknowledge and agree that MMS may preserve any
transmittal or communication by you with MMS through
the Site or any service offered on or through the
Site, and may also disclose such data if required
to do so by law or MMS determines that such preservation
or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) comply
with legal process, (2) enforce these Terms of Use,
(3) respond to claims that any such data violates
the rights of others, or (4) protect the rights,
property or personal safety of MMS, its employees,
users of or visitors to the Site, and the public.
You agree that MMS may, in its sole discretion and
without prior notice, terminate your access to the
Site and/or block your future access to the Site
if we determine that you have violated these Terms
of Use or other agreements or guidelines which may
be associated with your use of the Site. You also
agree that any violation by you of these Terms of
Use will constitute an unlawful and unfair business
practice, and will cause irreparable harm to MMS,
for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and
you consent to MMS obtaining any injunctive or equitable
relief that MMS deems necessary or appropriate in
such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any
other remedies MMS may have at law or in equity.
You agree that MMS may, in its sole discretion and
without prior notice, terminate your access to the
Site, for cause, which includes (but is not limited
to) (1) requests by law enforcement or other government
agencies, (2) a request by you (self-initiated account
deletions), (3) discontinuance or material modification
of the Site or any service offered on or through
the Site, or (4) unexpected technical issues or problems.
If MMS does take any legal action against you as
a result of your violation of these Terms of Use,
MMS will be entitled to recover from you, and you
agree to pay, all reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted
to MMS. You agree that MMS will not be liable to you or to any third
party for termination of your access to the Site as a result of any
violation of these Terms of Use.
Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
You agree that all matters relating to your access
to or use of the Site, including all disputes, will
be governed by the laws of the United States and
by the laws of the State of California without regard
to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree
to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal
courts in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, and waive any objection
to such jurisdiction or venue. Any claim under these Terms of Use
must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises,
or such claim or cause of action is barred. No recovery may
be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses,
except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. In
the event of any controversy or dispute between MMS and you arising
out of or in connection with your use of the Site, the parties shall
attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. If
we are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time
(not to exceed thirty (30) days), then either party may submit such
controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be
resolved through mediation, then the parties shall be free to pursue
any right or remedy available to them under applicable law.

held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction
to be void or unenforceable, such provisions shall
be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary
and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies
the intent of these Terms of Use, so that these Terms
of Use shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms
of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and MMS with regard
to your use of the Site, and any and all other written or oral agreements
or understandings previously existing between you and MMS with respect
to such use are hereby superseded and cancelled. MMS will not
accept any counter-offers to these Terms of Use, and all such offers

on or enforce strict performance of these Terms of Use shall not be
construed as a waiver by MMS of any provision or any right it has
to enforce these Terms of Use, nor shall any course of conduct between
MMS and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of
these Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use shall not be interpreted
or construed to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties.
