this Submission Form is submitted (“Company”) will use commercially
reasonable efforts to perform the Services in accordance the then-current description
of such Services, and within the timeframes, set forth on Company’s website.

shall have no liability for any damage or errors unless reported to Company within
five (5) days of Customer's receipt of the items.

a clerical error for which Services have been provided by Company. Company will,
at its expense, correct the clerical error and return the corrected item to Customer.
Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Company and its affiliates, and all
of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents, harmless
from and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s
fees) relating to or arising directly or indirectly from Customer’s failure
to comply with this Section 7.
8. Customer shall complete all submission information on the Submission Form, and
package and ship all items, in accordance with the instructions on the Submission

IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PARTY
FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN
IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY

to transactions and/or disputes between Company and any Customer. Each Customer
agrees to (1) the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute of the state
and/or federal courts located in, or serving Sarasota County, Florida; (2) not challenge
such jurisdiction or venue; and (3) accept service by certified or registered mail.
13. These terms and conditions, including the applicable GUARANTEE, constitute the
entire agreement of Company and Customer (and any third party for whom Customer
may be acting) regarding, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
(written or oral) between or among such parties relating to, the subject matter
hereof; however, any existing dealer or collector agreement between Customer and
Company shall remain in effect, and the terms of such agreement(s) are hereby incorporated
by reference. In the event of a conflict, these terms and the current applicable
Guarantee shall prevail. If any term or condition is determined, by a final and
non-appealable ruling or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid
or unenforceable under applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other terms and conditions
