L. No Warranties

DRFIRST AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF RCOPIA BY REGISTERED AUTHORIZED END USERS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR VIRUS-FREE. THE SUBMISSION OF ANY INFORMATION THROUGH RCOPIA IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT MAY RESULT FROM SUCH ACTIVITIES OR FROM RELIANCE UPON RCOPIA.

M. Limitation of Liability
USE OF RCOPIA IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IN NO EVENT SHALL DRFIRST OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARISING DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR FROM LOSS OR INACCURACY OF INFORMATION, TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARISES IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE RCOPIA, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF DRFIRST WAS ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE LIKELY OR POSSIBLE.

O. Governing Law
These Terms will be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, excluding conflict of law principles. You consent to jurisdiction and venue exclusively in the State of Maryland. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and DrFirst with regard to the matters described herein and govern your use of Rcopia, superseding any prior agreements between you and DrFirst with respect thereto (except as described in Section II.D below). The failure of DrFirst to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these terms 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 the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of Rcopia or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
