AND THE DECOPAC PARTIES DISCLAIM AND MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE QUALITY, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY, COMPLETENESS, USEFULNESS, OR EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INFORMATION, IMAGES AND DATA OBTAINED, GENERATED OR OTHERWISE RECEIVED BY USER FROM ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, AND (E) USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT USER'S OWN RISK AND DECOPAC, INC.

User understands and agrees that the operation and availability of the systems used for accessing and interacting with the Software, including, the public telephone, computer networks and the Internet or to transmit information, whether or not supplied by User or DecoPac, Inc., can be unpredictable and may, from time to time, interfere with or prevent the access to and/or the use or operation of the software.
