While we try to offer reliable data, we cannot promise that the content provided through the Services will always be available, accurate, complete, and up-to-date. As a buyer, you agree that MMI is not responsible for examining or warranting the listings or content provided by third parties through the Services and you will not attempt to hold us liable for any inaccuracies. As a seller, it is your responsibility to review the content you provide us for listings for accuracy and that you will not attempt to hold our catalog providers or us responsible for inaccuracies. The content on the Site may include copyrighted, trademarked or other proprietary materials. You agree not to remove any copyright, proprietary, or identification markings included within the catalogs and not to create any derivative works based on such content (other than by including them in your listings).

If any provision of these Site Usage Terms is held by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of these Site Usage Terms, and the remainder of these Site Usage Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

The failure by MMI to exercise or enforce any rights or provisions of these Site Usage Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

No partnership, joint venture, franchisor-franchisee, or agency relationship is intended or created by these Site Usage Terms.

You may not assign or transfer these Site Usage Terms or your obligations hereunder in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without MMI's prior written consent.

To the extent any novation is required for MMI to assign these Site Usage Terms, you hereby appoint the officers of MMI as your attorney-in-fact to execute all documents necessary to consummate such novation.

All provisions in these Site Usage Terms regarding representations and warranties, content, indemnification, disclaimers and limitations on liability shall survive any termination of these Site Usage Terms.

Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of MMI will not be considered a breach of these Site Usage Terms if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, market shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood or any other event beyond the control of MMI, provided that MMI uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.

If a translation of these Site Usage Terms into any other language is required by law, the English version will prevail to the extent that there is any conflict or discrepancy in meaning between the English version and any translation thereof.
