No Warranties

There is no warranty that any information or service provided or referenced by this site is either merchantable or accurate, that such information or service will fulfill any of your particular purposes or needs, or that such information or service does not infringe on any third party rights. Except for any express warranties stated on this site, if any, the information and services provided or referenced on this site are provided "as is" and with all faults, and the entire risk as to satisfactory quality, performance, accuracy and effort is with the user.

So, while HCS uses reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information on the Hughesware.com site, HCS makes no warranties or representations as to its accuracy.

For example, HCS assumes no responsibility for, and will not be liable for any damages to or any viruses which may affect your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or downloading from, the Hughesware.com site. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

Links

HCS has not reviewed all of the sites which are linked to the Hughesware.com site, and the fact of such links does not indicate any approval or endorsement of any material contained on any linked site. HCS is not responsible for the contents of any site linked to the Hughesware.com site; your connection to any such linked site is at your own risk.

U.S., International Information

Most of the information on the Hughesware.com site applies internationally, but a significant amount of information applies only to certain countries or regions. For instance, if you see the following indication in connection with information on the Hughesware.com site:

 

The information on this page applies to businesses in the U.S.

then that information applies only to businesses operating in the U.S. If you live outside of the U.S., the fact that you have access to such U.S.-specific information does not mean that such information applies or ever will apply to your country or region. Although HCS tries to mark all country- and region-specific information with this form of indication, it does not warrant or represent that all information without this indication applies internationally. You should check the applicability of any information on this site to you or your organization.

Really Legal Stuff

The Rules will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Michigan. Each party to the Hughesware.com site Rules hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts within the State of Michigan, and waives any jurisdictional venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

Any failure by HCS to enforce any of its rights under the Rules or applicable laws shall not constitute a waiver of such right. If any provision of the Rules is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you, HCS, and the court shall endeavor to give effect to the intent reflected in that provision, and the remaining Rules provisions shall retain their full force and effect.

United States and foreign export control laws regulate the export and re-export of technology originating in the United States and such foreign countries. You will abide by these laws and regulations as applicable and will not transfer, directly or indirectly, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any content or software from the Hughesware.com site to or from any countries or foreign nationals in violation of such laws or regulations.
