2. Use of the Service. You understand that, except for information, products or services clearly identified as being supplied by VBB, VBB does not operate, control or endorse any information, products or services on the Internet in any way. Except for VBB-identified information, products or services, all information, products and services offered through the Service or on the Internet generally are offered by third parties that are not affiliated with VBB. You also understand that VBB cannot and does not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading through the Service will be free of infection or viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other code that manifest contaminating or destructive properties. You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to the Service for the reconstruction of any lost data. You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of the Service and the Internet. VBB does not make any express or implied warranties, representations or endorsements whatsoever (including without limitation warranties of title or non-infringement, or the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) with regard to the Service, any business, merchandise, information or service provided through the Service or on the Internet generally, and VBB shall not be liable for any cost or damage arising either directly or indirectly from any such transaction. It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions, advice, services, business, merchandise and other information provided through the Service or on the Internet generally. VBB does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the Service will be corrected. The Service and any software made available on the Service are provided on an "as is, as available" basis.
You understand further that the Internet contains unedited materials some of which are sexually explicit or may be offensive to you. You access such materials at your risk. VBB has no control over and accepts no responsibility whatsoever for such materials.
In no event will VBB be liable for (I) any incidental, consequential, or indirect damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of programs or information, and the like) arising out of the use of or inability to use the Service, or any information, or transactions provided on the Service or downloaded or hyperlinked from the Service, even if VBB or its authorized representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages, or (II) any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the Service and/or materials or information downloaded through, or hyperlinked from, the Service. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. In such states, VBB's liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
3.Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless VBB, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third party information providers to the Service from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of this Agreement by you.
4.Third Party Rights. The provisions of paragraphs 2 (Use of the Service), and 3 (Indemnification) are for the benefit of VBB and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and any third party information providers to the Service. Each of these individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce those provisions directly against you on its own behalf.
5.Term; Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party without notice at any time for any reason; provided that you may no longer use the Service after you have terminated this Agreement. The provisions of paragraphs 1 (Copyright, Licenses and Idea Submissions), 2 (Use of the Service), 3 (Indemnification), 4 (Third Party Rights), 8 (Disclaimers and Limitation on Liability) and 9 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
6.Collection and Use. VBB will collect and use customer identifiable information to create and inform you of products and services that better meet your needs. This means that VBB may use your customer identifiable information, in conjunction with information available from other sources, to market new services to you that we think will be of interest to you, but we will not disclose your customer identifiable information to third parties who want to market products to you.
When you access the Internet, the computers that host Web sites you visit (Web servers) automatically receive some anonymous information. This "usage data" may include a record of which pages a Web browser has visited. VBB servers receive usage data when customers visit VBB Web sites, and when you visit other sites as well. VBB may use usage data to provide advertising about goods and services that may be of interest to VBB customers, or to provide customized features and services. VBB will not use information about your activities on the Internet together with any information that identifies you without your consent.
VBB and its advertisers may use various kinds of software devices to collect information about Internet use. Small files called "cookies" may be attached to your Web browser. These files identify your browser and save information such as passwords so that Web sites can recognize you. You can set your browser to disable cookies, but some VBB Web sites (and other Web sites) may not work properly if you do this.
In addition, on some Web sites, VBB and its advertisers may use small bits of code called "one-pixel gifs," or "clear gifs" embedded in some Web pages, to make cookies more effective. VBB will not associate the information these software devices collect with your name or email address.
VBB uses advertising companies to deliver ads on some VBB Web sites. The advertising companies may also receive some anonymous information about ad viewing by Internet users on VBB Web sites and other Internet sites. This information may be associated with a customer's Web browser, but cannot be associated with a name or e-mail address without the customer's permission. (This means that advertising companies may know where your computer goes on the Internet, but they don't know who you are unless you tell them.) VBB does not supply customer identifiable information to advertising companies or to individual advertisers or other third parties. If you go to another Web site, including an advertiser's Web site (for example by clicking on an ad), and request information or enter a contest, be aware that you may be authorizing another company, including an advertising company, to use information you supply
7.Disclosure. VBB will not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties any customer identifiable information derived from the registration for or use of the VBB web site -- including customer names and addresses -- without the consent of the customer (except as required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process or in the case of imminent physical harm to the customer or others). When VBB uses other agents, contractors or companies to perform services on its behalf, VBB will ensure that the company protects your customer identifiable information consistent with this Policy.
