XI. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
A concern for Kanal, Inc., and for all operators of online systems, is that we might be held accountable for the wrongful actions of our Clients. Accordingly, we require all Clients to accept responsibility for their own acts, and to accept that an act by another Client that damages them must not be blamed on Kanal, Inc., but only on the other Client.
Although it is Kanal, Inc.'s goal to provide Clients with a reliable, quality system, we may make mistakes or experience system failure from time to time. Such problems are inevitable in operating a system of this size. We would not be able to make this Service available to Clients if we had to accept blame or financial liability for any usability problems, system failures or errors, or mistakes or damages of any kind. In order to continue offering and improving our service, Kanal, Inc. must deny any warranties on this service and insure that our liability for any problems connected with the use of our System is strictly limited.
These needs are accomplished by the following disclaimers:
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE CLIENT EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT THE CLIENT'S SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. Kanal, Inc. EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Kanal, Inc. MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET CLIENT'S REQUIREMENTS, NOR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; NOR DOES Kanal, Inc.

THE CLIENT AGREES THAT Kanal, Inc. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; OR FOR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES OR RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED, MESSAGES RECEIVED, OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE; OR RESULTING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF CLIENT'S TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLES; EVEN IF Kanal, Inc.

XII. Arbitration
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Kanal, Inc. Services shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction therein. Either the Client or Kanal, Inc. may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in New York City, New York, necessary to protect the rights or property of the Client or Kanal, Inc. pending the completion of arbitration. This arbitration clause does not prohibit either Kanal, Inc. or the Client from seeking to have the arbitration dismissed or judicially terminated on the basis that the claims in arbitration action fail to provide a legal basis upon which a claim for relief may be granted. Any motion or action to dismiss must be filed a court of general jurisdiction within New York City, New York.
XIII. General
This agreement (the Agreement) incorporates by reference our Privacy Policy and any notice by Kanal, Inc. contained in any of its Web site pages, and constitutes the entire understanding between the Client and Kanal, Inc. regarding the Client's relationship to our Service.
Clients can reach our Service from all fifty states and around the world. Each of these places has a different set of laws. Since Kanal, Inc. cannot monitor all these laws and their requirements, the Agreement and the relationship between the Client and Kanal, Inc. shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
If Kanal, Inc. fails to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement, that failure shall not be construed as a waiver of the right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. The Client agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
