shall remain solely responsible for all Content
posted by you. mPowerU shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to correct any errors or omissions
in any Content, as it may determine in its sole
discretion.
5.
No Endorsement
5.1
mPowerU does not represent or endorse the accuracy
or reliability of any Content posted on any e-mail
and you acknowledge that any reliance upon such
Content is at your sole risk. Any Content placed
on any e-mail by users are the views of the user
posting the statement, and do not represent the
views of mPowerU.
5.2
The Service may contain links to sites on the
Internet, which are owned and operated by third
parties (the "External Sites"). You
acknowledge that mPowerU is not responsible for
the availability of, or the content located on

Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold mPowerU
and its affiliates, and their respective officers,
directors, owners, agents, information providers
and licensors (collectively, the "mPowerU
Parties") harmless from and against any and
all claims, liability, losses, costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by any mPowerU
party in connection with any use or alleged use
of the Service under your password by any person,
whether or not authorized by you. mPowerU reserves

agree to cooperate with m-PowerU's defense of
such claim.

change, suspend or discontinue all or any aspect
of the Service at any time, including the availability
of any feature, database, or Content (including

liability.
8.
Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
8.1
Neither mPowerU nor any provider of third party
content or their respective agents warrant that
the service will remain uninterrupted or error
free; nor does mPowerU, any third party content
provider, or their respective agents make any
warranty as to the results that are obtained from
use of the service or the content. The service
and the content are distributed on an "as
is, as available" basis. None of mPowerU,
third party content providers and their respective
agents make any warranties of any kind, either
express or implied, including, without limitation,
warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose, with respect
to the service, any content or any products or
services sold through the service. Neither mPowerU
nor any third party content provider warrants
that any files available for downloading through
the service are free of viruses or similar contamination
or destructive features. You expressly agree that
the entire risk as to the quality and performance
of the service and the accuracy or completeness
of the content is assumed solely by you.
8.2
Neither mPowerU, any third party content provider
nor their respective agents are liable for any
direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential
damages arising out of the use of or inability
to use the service, even if such party was advised
of the possibility of such damages.
8.3
Some states do not allow exclusion of implied
warranties or limitation of liability for incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitations
or exclusions may not apply to you. In such states,
the liability of mPowerU, third party content
providers and their respective agents shall be
limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
9.
Miscellaneous
This Agreement is construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Connecticut, and the
parties irrevocably consent to bring any action
to enforce this Agreement in the federal or state
courts located in Hartford, Connecticut. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all previous written or
oral agreements between the parties with respect
to such subject matter. If any inconsistency exists
between the terms of this agreement and any additional
terms and conditions posted on the Service, such
terms shall be interpreted as to eliminate any
inconsistency, if possible, and otherwise, the
additional terms and conditions shall control.
Sections 2, 3, 7 and 8 shall survive any termination
of this Agreement as well as any other provisions,
