Key Master Direct AND ITS SUPPLIERS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH REGARD TO THESE CONTENTS, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Important: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Key Master Direct AND ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THIS IS SO WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. This remains the case even if Key Master Direct or any of its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. This disclaimer includes, without limitation, damages for any of the following:

(a) for the loss of use, data, or profits, in any way connected with the use or performance of KeyMasterDirect.com;

If you are dissatisfied with any portion of KeyMasterDirect.com, with any products or services provided to you, or with any of these Terms and Conditions, your sole and exclusive remedy is to pursue an award through the dispute resolution procedures explained below.

Exception: if your claim is for less than $500, the award you will receive should you prevail will not be less than $500.

Below you will find a Dispute Resolution provision, which deals with the availability of damages. If there is any conflict between the above “Disclaimer of Representations and Liability” section on the one hand and the following “Dispute Resolution” section on the other hand, the “Dispute Resolution” section shall govern.

Indemnity and Release

The technical language of the following paragraph, necessary for legal purposes, states that if any “third party” – (that is, someone other than you or Key Master Direct) – makes any claim against Key Master Direct because of you, then you, not Key Master Direct, will assume the resulting responsibilities. The specific claims are included in the paragraph below.

“You agree to release, indemnify and hold Key Master Direct and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agent harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of any third party claims relating to your Use of the Service, any Documents and Submissions, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another.”

If you are a California resident, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, which says:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Explanation: Under section 1542, a general release, like the one you are agreeing to here, does not apply to cases in which

(1) a person does not know at the time of signing the release that he or she currently has a favorable claim they could make, and

(2) had he or she known it at the time, they might not have agreed to sign the release.

YOU ARE AGREEING THAT THIS SECTION, EVEN IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. If you are a resident of some other State or jurisdiction, you waive any similar or comparable statute or doctrine that might be in effect there.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-877-881-0947.

If Key Master Direct has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, including through mediation (which Key Master Direct will pay for), we each agree to resolve such dispute through binding arbitration or small claims court – instead of courts of general jurisdiction.

Arbitration, which is often cheaper, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a single, neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Key Master Direct will pay for the costs of arbitration if you seek less than $75,000. If you should prevail in such an arbitration in which you seek less than $75,000 in damages, Key Master Direct will also pay reasonable attorneys’ fees: Key Master Direct will not seek attorneys’ fees from you. If you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Agreement (AAA). Any arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will take place on an individual basis only: Class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

Arbitration Procedures

Key Master Direct and you agree that all disputes and claims between us will be settled by arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate (the “Arbitration Agreement”) is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to the following:

claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;

claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);

claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and

claims that may arise after the termination of the Terms and Conditions.

Although you may not bring a suit in a court other than small claims court, you may bring issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission or the Attorney General of your state. If the law allows, such agencies can seek relief against us on your behalf.

We repeat: you agree that, by entering into this arbitration agreement, you and Key Master Direct are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

Because this document includes this Arbitration Agreement, making it a transaction in interstate commerce, it is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of the Terms and Conditions.
