THIRD-PARTY LINKS.
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, the Site may contain links to other websites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third-party vendors and other third parties (the “External Sites”).

Links do not imply that HBW sponsors, endorses, is affiliated with or associated with, or has been legally authorized to use any trademark, trade name, service mark, design, logo, symbol or other copyrighted materials displayed on or accessible through such External Sites. Nonetheless, HBW seeks to protect the integrity of this Site and the links placed upon it and, therefore, requests any feedback on not only its own Site, but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work). You should contact the site administrator or Webmaster for those External Sites if you have concerns regarding such links or the content located on such External Sites.
CLAIMS.
Each claim or statement about the effectiveness of HBW products and/or each claim or statement comparing the effectiveness of HBW products to the effectiveness of other products is expressly limited to the United States, unless otherwise disclosed on the Site.
NO WARRANTY.
HBW makes no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of this Site’s content or the content of any site or External Sites. HBW does not filter advertisements or other content that children may view through our sites or “hot-linked” sites, and they could receive content and materials from the Internet and/or advertising that are inappropriate for children. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to consider using electronic filtering software.
This Site and the materials, information, Services, and products on this Site, including, without limitation, text, graphics, and links, are provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, HBW disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchant ability and fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, freedom from computer virus, and warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance.

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your devices. HBW is not responsible for any losses resulting from the loss or theft of your device or the loss or theft of your information transmitted from or stored on your devices.
SYSTEM OUTAGES, SLOWDOWNS, AND CAPACITY LIMITATIONS.
At times you may experience difficulty accessing the Site or Services or communicating with HBW through the Internet or other electronic wireless services as a result of high Internet traffic, transmission problems, systems capacity limitations, or other problems. Any computer system or other electronic device, whether it is yours, an internet service provider’s, or HBW’s, can experience unanticipated outages or slowdowns or have capacity limitations. HBW makes not warranty whatsoever to you, express or implied, regarding the availability of the Internet or cell or data services on your device.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
In no event shall HBW be liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever in connection with the Site or Services or your use thereof or inability to use by any party, even if HBW has been previously advised of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action under contract, negligence, or any other theory, arising out of or in connection with the use, inability to use, or performance of the information, Services, products, and materials available from this Site. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you.
INDEMNIFICATION.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HBW, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers (collectively the “Indemnified Parties” and each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witnesses’ fees, incurred or arising from (i) any violation of these Terms (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you, (ii) any violation of the Anti-Spam Policy, (iii) any activity related to your use of the Site or Services, or (iv) any information provided by you or any other person accessing the Site using your account credentials.
You agree to fully cooperate at your expense as reasonably required by an Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party may, at its election, assume the defense and control of any matter for which it is indemnified hereunder. You shall not settle any matter involving an Indemnified Party without the written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party.
ARBITRATION.
By using this Site, you agree that HBW, at its sole discretion, may require you to submit any disputes arising from the use of the Site or Services, or these Terms concerning or, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, nullity, invalidity, non-performance or termination, as well as disputes about filling gaps in this contract or its adaptation to newly arisen circumstances, to final and binding arbitration under the International Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”), by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. Notwithstanding the Rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the state as set forth in the previous section. Any award in an arbitration initiated under this clause shall be limited to monetary damages and shall include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Further, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential or other damages in any arbitration initiated under this section, except as may be required by statute.
GENERAL PROVISIONS.
The Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the state of Colorado, U.S.A., without regard to choice of law provisions, and not by the 1980 U.N. Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods. You agree that jurisdiction over and venue in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Site or Services (including but not limited to the purchase of HBW products) shall be in Denver, Colorado.
Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Site or Services (including but not limited to the purchase of HBW products) must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.
HBW’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of the Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these terms and conditions.
HBW may assign its rights and duties under the Terms to any party at any time without notice to you. HBW makes no representation that materials in the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to them from territories where their content is illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Site or Services from locations outside Colorado do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You may not use or export the materials in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations. Any claim relating to the materials shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Colorado.
If any provision of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of the Terms will not operate as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. HBW may subcontract all or a portion of its responsibilities hereunder.
