These Terms of Use give you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from

permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. Your statutory rights as a consumer, if any, are not
affected by these provisions, and we do not seek to exclude or limit liability for fraudulent
misrepresentation.
