connection with or arising from your use of messaging facilities.
You agree to indemnify Arinda against any loss, claim, damage or action

right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authority in any

Any similarity between an unsolicited submission and any elements in any
creative work of Arinda or one of our Associated Companies including,
without limitation, a film, series, story, title or concept would be
purely coincidental.
Unsolicited Submissions
If unsolicited submissions are sent to Arinda via the Website, however,

assigned, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly
performed, published, displayed or deleted as we see fit. You agree that
you are not entitled to any compensation, credit or notice whatsoever
and that by sending an unsolicited submission you waive the right to
make any claim against Arinda, its Associated Companies or affiliates
relating to unsolicited submissions, including, without limitation,
unfair competition, breach of implied contract or breach of
confidentiality.
Commissions
You acknowledge and agree that Arinda may receive a commission or fee
from a third party in relation to revenue earned by that third party
from your use of the Website (including any purchases you make or
initiate through the Website).
Advertising and e-commerce offers
The Website occasionally contains third party advertisements which
contain embedded hyperlinks or which include referral buttons to
websites operated by third parties or their licensees or contractors.
Some external third party websites may be co-branded by Arinda,
displayed within the Website frames, include Content or include
reciprocal links to the Website. These features are provided for your
convenience. If you use any such embedded hyperlinks or referral
buttons, you take sole responsibility for the use of the external
website.
All third party
advertising (including referral buttons and embedded hyperlinks) is paid
for by the relevant third party advertisers and are not recommendations
or endorsements by the relevant the Website Member website, or its
respective directors or employees. You are referred to the relevant
advertiser for all information regarding the advertiser and its products
and/or services. In some
instances, the advertisement will contain representations or offers by
the third party advertiser which you can accept by linking to the
advertiser's website and executing the relevant transaction. Such offers
are not made by Arinda or the relevant Network Member, and the third
party advertiser is solely responsible to you for the delivery of any
goods or services you purchase on the third party website.
Any product information or prices listed in websites in the Website
which are not specifically related to Arinda products or services are
the responsibility of the relevant retailer and are accurate at the time
the retailer notifies Arinda and/or the operator of that website. Such
product information and prices are subject to change without notice by
the retailer. Arinda is not liable, and accordingly takes no
responsibility, for the product information or prices or for changes to
such information or prices, including where price changes have not been
reflected on these websites.

time, change or add to the Website without notice. However, Arinda does
not undertake to keep the Website updated. Arinda will not be liable to

if that information is not kept up to date.
Where any applicable legislation implies any term, condition or warranty
into these Terms of Use or into Arinda's relationship with you or
otherwise gives you a particular remedy against Arinda ("Implied Terms")
and that legislation or any other legislation prevents the operation of
provisions excluding or modifying the application of the Implied Terms,

Use. However, Arinda's liability for any breach of an Implied Term will
be limited, to the extent permitted by law, at Arinda's option, to the
following:
-
