The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or availability.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the service or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components.
