We provide the Service 'as-is', 'with all faults' and 'as available.' We hereby notify you that we may rely on information provided by third parties to provide the Service. We do not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of information provided by such third parties, or the information provided to you while using the Service. We and our affiliates, resellers, distributors and vendors (collectively, the 'R4M parties') give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions.

We exclude any implied warranties including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort and non-infringement.
You can recover from the R4M parties only direct damages up to an amount equal to the lesser of amounts you have paid to us to use the Service, or an amount actually paid up to six month’sof fees for the level of Service to which you are subscribed from the date of the claim. You cannot recover any other damages, including consequential, business interruption, lost sales, lost profits, special, indirect, incidental or punitive damages. This limitation applies to anything related to: a) The Service; b) Content (including code) on third-party Internet sites, third-party programs or third-party conduct; c) Viruses or other disabling features that affect your access to or use of the Service; d) Incompatibility between the Service and other services, software and hardware, delays or failures you may have in initiating, conducting or completing any transmissions or transactions in connection with the Service in an accurate or timely manner; and, e) Claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict liability, negligence or other tort. It also applies even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses, or fails of its essential purpose; or if R4M knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. They also may not apply to you because your province or country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.
You understand and agree that R4M may change the Service or delete features at any time and for any reason. Unless a long term contract is in place, either party may cancel or suspend your Service at any time. Cancellation or suspension may be without cause and/or without notice,however, R4M will at all times make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify you in the event of a cancellation or suspension. Upon Service cancellation, your right to use the Service stops right away. If the Service is cancelled or suspended for any reason, any data you have stored on the Service may not be retrieved later. Our cancellation of the Service will not alter your obligation to pay all charges made to your billing account. If we cancel the Service in its entirety without cause, then we will refund to you on a pro-rata basis the amount of payments that you have made corresponding to the portion of your Service remaining right before the cancellation. A particular Service may be a pre-release version and may not work correctly, or in the way a final version might work. There may be interruptions or extended downtimes to the Service. We may significantly change the final version or decide not to release a final version at all, or at any time change or alter the Service provided, including add or remove features.
All parts of this Agreement apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. A court may hold that we cannot enforce a part of this Agreement as written. If this happens, then you and we will replace that part with terms that most closely match the intent of the part that we cannot enforce. The rest of this Agreement will not change. This is the entire Agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Service. It supersedes any prior contract or statements regarding your use of the Service. If you have confidentiality obligations related to the Service, those obligations remain in force (for example, you may have been a beta tester). The section titles in the Agreement do not limit the other terms of this contract.
We may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement, or any part of it, to any other person. Any attempt by you to do so is void. You may not transfer to anyone else, either temporarily or permanently, any rights to use the Service or any part of the Service.
This Agreement is solely for your and our benefit. It is not for the benefit of any other person, except for permitted successors and assigns under this Agreement.
Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, any claim related to this Agreement or the Service may not be brought unless brought within six months.

You may receive a limited time of free Service or some other trial period offer. Unless we notify you otherwise, if you are participating in any trial period offer, you must cancel the Service by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring charges. If you do not cancel your Service, and we have informed you that the Service will automatically be converted into a paid subscription at the end of the trial period, then you authorize us to charge your payment method for the Service. We may cancel your access to the Service at any time, and without prior notice, during the trial period, or may unilaterally end the trial period.

If there is a specific time length and price for your Service offer, then that price will remain in force for that time. After the offer period ends, your use of the Service will be charged at the new price. If you do not agree to these changes, then you must cancel and stop using the Service before the changes take place. If you cancel your Service, then your Service ends at the end of your then current Service time length or, if we bill your account on a period basis, at the end of the period in which you cancelled.
Unless otherwise provided by law or in connection with any particular Service offer, all charges are non-refundable and the costs of any returns will be at your expense.
We will provide you with an online billing statement. This is the only billing statement that we provide. If you request a paper copy, we may charge you a retrieval fee. We will only provide paper copies for the past 90 days. If we make an error on your bill, we will correct it promptly after you tell us and we investigate the charge. You must tell us within 90 days after an error first appears on your bill. You release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from any error that you do not report to us within 90 days after the error first appears on your online statement. If you do not tell us within this time, we will not be required to correct the error.
