GRE, its affiliates and all of their third-party licensors disclaim any and all representations and warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or usage as to the GRE Product(s), including, but not limited to, the service(s), information, data, software or products contained therein, or the results obtained by their use or as to the performance thereof. Neither GRE, nor its affiliates or their third-party licensors guarantee the adequacy, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the information contained in the GRE Product(s) or any component thereof or any communications, including but not limited to oral or written communications (whether in electronic or other format), with respect thereto. Accordingly, any user of the GRE Product(s) should only reasonably rely on the information contained in any of the GRE Product(s), while making any investment or other decision. GRE, its affiliates and their third-party licensors shall not be subject to any damages or liability for any errors, omissions or delays in the GRE Product(s). The GRE Product(s) and all components thereof are provided on an “as is” basis and subscriber’s usage of the GRE Product(s) is at subscriber’s own risk.

GRE, its affiliates and all of their third-party licensors also disclaim to have no responsibility for any harm to Subscriber’s computer system, loss or corruption of data, or other harm that results from Subscriber accessing GRE Product(s) or downloading of any material posted on such GRE Product(s), or on any website linked to such GRE Product(s) including any loss or damage caused by viruses, trojans, distributed denial-of-service attack, or other technologically harmful material (which is not knowingly or intentionally introduced by GRE) that may infect Subscriber’s computer equipment, software, data or other material.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, in no event whatsoever shall GRE, its affiliates or their third-party licensors be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, trading losses, or lost time or goodwill, even if they have been advised of the possibility of such damages, whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise. GRE, its affiliates and their third-party licensors shall not be liable for any claims whatsoever against subscriber by third parties. In no event shall the maximum cumulative liability of GRE, its affiliates, and their third-party licensors in connection with the GRE Product(s) and/or this agreement, regardless of the form(s) of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, exceed the fees paid by subscriber to GRE for the GRE Product(s) in question in the month such liability is alleged to have arisen. Nothing in this agreement seeks to limit or restrict liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence.

No action, regardless of form, arising from or pertaining to this agreement may be brought by subscriber more than one (1) year after such action has accrued.

8. AUDIT / INSPECTION

Subscriber shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain full and accurate records of access. During the term of this Agreement and for a twenty-four (24) month period thereafter, GRE shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to Subscriber, to (i) audit and review relevant portions of those records; and (ii) audit the manner of access to and usage of the GRE Product(s), in each case to confirm that fees and charges have been accurately determined and that restrictions on usage and access have been observed. GRE’s failure to conduct an audit pursuant to this Section 8 shall not relieve Subscriber from its responsibilities to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. GRE shall bear the costs of any such audit and/or inspection, unless such audit and/or inspection reveals an underpayment to GRE of five percent (5%) or more; in such case, Subscriber shall reimburse GRE for its costs and expenses in conducting such audit and/or inspection. To the extent that the GRE Product(s) are being delivered to Subscriber via email, GRE may incorporate tracking mechanisms to enable GRE to determine whether restrictions on usage are being violated. Such tracking mechanisms shall allow GRE to collect information about whether the GRE Product(s) distributed by GRE to Authorized Users via e-mail is forwarded to other e-mail addresses and to determine the IP address or other information regarding such other destination e-mail addresses.

GRE reserves the right to use such IP address or other e-mail address information to enforce GRE’s rights in the event it believes unauthorized redistribution of the GRE Product(s) has occurred. Subscriber agrees to permit GRE or its representatives to periodically inspect, at Subscriber’s location(s), during reasonable hours and at reasonable intervals, the terminals, workstations and/or any network on or by which any portion of the GRE Information is accessed for purposes of establishing compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
