5. Product and
Service Information.
The Site provides
users with information regarding current and upcoming Oprano, Affiliate, News,
Programs, products and services and promotional offers. Product and service
descriptions and promotional offers on the Site may vary from time to time.
Due to differences in equipment and other technical issues, as well as the possibility
of typographical error, product and service descriptions and promotional offers
may not be complete, current or accurate. Oprano cannot guarantee that any particular
product or service or promotional offer displayed on the Site will be available
at any time or will ever be made available at all. Certain products or services
or promotional offers may, without notice, be subject to restrictions, whether
as to quantity, minimum age requirements, or otherwise.
6. Your Information
and Privacy Considerations.
In order to take
advantage of the full capabilities of the Site, such as the participation in
certain special offerings and promotions, and to receive e-mailed information
and announcements, you may be asked to send us information about yourself or
others. We respect your privacy and the privacy of others, and we will, of course,
endeavor to take care of any information you supply to us. If you believe, however,
that any such information is so private to you or to any other person that possible
disclosure would be embarrassing or otherwise inappropriate, we ask that you
do not supply that information, even if it means that certain of this Site's
capabilities would therefore be rendered unavailable to you or any other person.
We do require, however, that the information you elect to provide to us be true,
accurate, current and complete, and we request that you update that information
as necessary.
We reserve the
right to use "cookies," which are small computer files we would thereby
transfer to your computer's hard drive to allow us to monitor Site usage. You
have the ability to accept or decline cookies, but if you choose to decline
cookies, performance of the Site might be adversely affected.
Websites linked
to the Site are likely governed by their own policies. Oprano is not responsible
for those policies and expressly disclaims any liability relating to any aspect
of any such linked site.
You agree that
we may communicate with you via e-mail and any similar technology for any purpose
relating to the Site and any associated Oprano service, as well as services
or advertising that may in the future be provided by us or on our behalf.
Use of the Oprano
services associated with the Site is available solely to adults. If you are
a minor, you are not allowed to register or complete the registration process.
Any person who agrees to the end-user license and subscription agreement shall
have automatically represented and warranted to us that he or she is an adult
and that he or she shall thereby have accepted this agreement under that condition.
7. Disclosure of
Content Monitoring.
As an express exception
to the foregoing, Oprano reserves the right to disclose information gathered
from the Site and any Oprano service associated with it if required to do so
by law or if done in a good-faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary
to comply with legal requirements, to respond to claims that any information
violates the rights of third parties, or to protect the rights, Site and Oprano-service
benefits, property or personal safety of Oprano, Site users or the public. You
therefore authorize us to disclose any information about you to effectuate that
purpose as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

any content or information contained within it and any linked website, is provided
"as is" and "as available." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
