We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Service is restricted to Users or unavailable at any time or for any period.

SAFE USE OF THE SERVICE

Users are responsible for obtaining their own access to the Service. Users are required to ensure that all persons who access the Service through a User’s internet connection are aware and comply with this Agreement.
